Outrage followed ‘would-be assassin’ lie but experts say architect of ICE drive too dominant a figure to be shunned
Pressure is growing on key White House senior adviser Stephen Miller over the killing of intensive care nurse Alex Pretti by border patrol agents in Minneapolis and its politically divisive aftermath.
Miller, the architect of Donald Trump’s hardline immigration policy, finds himself in the rare position of being contradicted and excluded from crucial decisions by the US president.
About three and a half hours after the tragedy on Saturday, Miller used social media to describe Pretti, 37, as a “would-be assassin” who “tried to murder federal agents”. On Tuesday, when asked if he believes Pretti was an assassin, Trump said: “No.”
President Miller, you mean?
Stephen Miller looks like if Peewee Herman was the president of his high school’s Young Republicans club.
Trump is an evil man, but at least by this point, he is basically a gibbering and insane senile narcissist from a broken and fucked up family with a psychologically abusive father.
It is my belief however that Stephen Miller, with no discernible tragic backstory or mental impairment, knows exactly what he is doing and he loves it.
Hey now, as a youth, Miller had to move to a slightly less nice house. That could radicalise anybody.
It’s worse that Trump has dementia and is essentially a figure head, because now he’s an amalgamation of every one of his cabinet’s worst traits. Stephen Miller is primarily focused on the genocide of immigrant out groups. But he’s not the only shit heel in the White House. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jan/06/trump-is-marching-into-2026-with-the-worst-cabinet-in-history
Stephen Miller is an evil genocidal bastard who deserves to live out the rest of his days in a SHU and his name forgotten to history. But there’s nobody at the helm. The whole cabinet is free to do whatever they want. Being “ousted” doesn’t matter because they’ll take a job as a talking head or policy wonk or other position in the dark money wing of the GOP. Keep a look out for Bovinito Fascelini to be a talking had on Fox News soon.
The problem is structural, it’s inherent to how money runs politics in the US. We need to address this at it’s core or we’ll always play whackamole as the two party system allows us to ratchet effect ourselves further and further to the right and away from the will of the people.
But that’s why going after his lieutenants works…
They’ll defend trump no matter to keep their positions, but that loyalty is a one way street. If there’s a public outcry big enough and polls tank enough, he’ll throw anyone and everyone under the bus.
Bovino is out, Noem has one foot out the door…
It’s logical that we just start isolating important cabinet members in the media and just have the whole country hammering for trump to throw one person under the bus at a time.
They’ll be replaced by someone shitty still, but they’ll try to change direction just to get attention, bare minimum it interperta plans and keeps them on the defensive.
Noem’s half out, but Miller should be next. It’s not hard to get trump to turn on someone
You love giving Trump a break, don’t you.
Duh. This is the dude pulling some of Trump’s strings.
