I could not stop reading and then began reading passages to my writer husband! These descriptions were so Perfect! Bachmann has long been out of my mind, but Stephen Miller is seared into my consciousness as if he were a Nazi mass murderer at Nuremberg. I know evil can come in all forms but he was a shock. I am sorry that he was allowed to have children. His wife sounds just as insane. Just being if their blood is child abuse. Thank you for your most descriptive clarity. .

I agree with Carolyn Hays Jones. Stephen Miller was seared into my consciousness, too, from the first Trump regime. There was something about him then that bordered on terrifying. I recently remarked to a friend that the blizzard of executive orders we've experienced have Miller's fingerprints all over them.

The excellent writing in this piece perfectly describes the nightmarish element within the current regime which has burst forth without restraint. Now, I am terrified.

I did not read your post before writing mine, above. Seems like we shared a thought, there, huh?

This morning I thought that Tommy Tuberville should replace the elephant as icon for the Republicon Party, but, after reading this, I think it really should be Steven Miller. While Tuberville is an excellent representation of the stoopid in MAGA, it’s Miller that signifies the true nature, the driving force behind the fascist takeover, the unbridled greed and avarice of the GQP.

Your snarky style rocks. And there’s nobody that personifies creepy better than Steven Miller.

There are answers out there …in the UK, Wales is in the process of legislating to prevent autocracy with a very simple but quietly radical legal solution to enforce honesty in politics...

Steven Miller the gru look alike from the minions and raggedy grifty Barbie these two were made for each other I wouldn't be surprised if they were bed buddies and then bringing bed bugs home they're not human their subspecies Steven Miller hates Jews or at least he pretends to hate Jews and raggedy grifty Barbie she doesn't know where she stands She just knows wherever there's a dollar She wants it in her pocket I hope wherever they are wherever their neighbors are whoever their neighbors are I hope they run them out of their neighborhood run them out of their restaurants run them out of the grocery stores wherever they go run them away from you Make them fear wherever they go just like they have Americans feeling their income and their lives make them fear the same thing

Stephen Miller is a Nazi maggot in a suit, vomiting venom carved with surgical precision, each word a blade aimed at the throat of reason. A maestro of rot, he conducts the orchestra of hate with fanatical glee, not to unite, but to shatter, divide, and poison the earth behind him.

He reminded me of Joseph Goebels when he first came on the scene in Trump's first term. He is even more strident and emboldened in his second.

Artfully written, insightful reporting charting the past to present evolution of the monster we now know is Steven Miller. The cruelty IS THE POINT 😱
