Trump's Limp-Wristed and Loose-Tongued Hate-Monger: Stephen Miller

Stephen has been swishing-away for way too long. He's about an undercover 'closet queen' as Trump's former side-kick Ray Cohn - and just as vicious if not more. That's only the conditional "if" - if there's a second term in-office for Trump. Silly Stephen has been on a rambling rage the past few days raging on and on as if he can tell his days in-the-glow could peter-out real quick.

 

Yes, we have been warned - one time in Vanity Fair, another time in a book by Jean Guerrero, another report in The Guardian, and a 30-minute phone-call to NBC yesterday. . .

"Miller’s continued presence in the White House has led some to raise broader questions about what it means for the United States.

The New Jersey Star-Ledger’s editorial board wrote an opinion piece calling for Miller’s resignation last week, conceding that Trump “is sure to disregard this advice” and adding: “When his presidency finally comes to an end, and its political cult is deprogrammed, let’s hope that basic standards of decency are revived in North America.”

In a segment called Fire Stephen Miller Right F**king Now, late-night television host Samantha Bee, was just as blunt: “If we can’t all agree that a white supremacist has no business in the White House, then we should probably just turn out the lights on this grand American experiment.”

If You Thought Stephen Miller Couldn’t Get More Monstrous, Just Wait for Another Trump Term

The architect of the Trump Administration’s worst immigration policies—the travel ban, the wall, child separation—has big, “shock and awe” plans for the next four years. 

By Eric Lutz October 30, 2020

". . .The overarching plan, he told the outlet, will be to restrict immigration even more than they already have by limiting asylum grants, broadening the travel ban, curbing work visas, and “cracking down aggressively” on sanctuary cities, which he said would be both outlawed and punished in a second Trump term. . . The pandemic, civil unrest, and a battered economy have taken center stage this race, but that doesn’t mean the senior adviser hasn’t been behind the scenes, intent on pursuing his xenophobic agenda. As my colleague Abigail Tracy reported last week, Miller remains one of the most powerful figures in Trumpworld, exerting a shadowy influence across multiple agencies—including the Department of Homeland Security, which he manipulates through Chad Wolf, the acting secretary. In a second Trump term, it’s possible Miller’s power could grow even more. . .a second term agenda would be “shock and awe,” with a suite of executive orders “so extreme” a president seeking re-election otherwise couldn’t risk. “There’s a number of things they have been cautious about because of the legal and political risks in the first term,” Miller biographer Jean Guerrero told the Guardian this week. “I think that in a second term you would see Stephen Miller get much freer rein when it comes to his wishlist of items.”

". . . Jean Guerrero, the author of the Miller biography Hatemonger, told the Guardian: “There’s a number of things they have been cautious about because of the legal and political risks in the first term and I think that in a second term you would see Stephen Miller get much freer rein when it comes to his wishlist of items.”

In the final months of the 2020 presidential race, Trump has used anti-immigrant rhetoric at substantially lower rates compared with 2016, but his policies continue to dominate the news. . .

Stephen Miller: why is Trump's white nationalist aide untouchable?

Lawmakers and civil rights groups have called for the ‘quiet extremist’ to step down, but the White House stands by him

Despite weeks of fallout over an email scandal that revealed the senior White House adviser Stephen Miller’s white nationalist views, Donald Trump’s administration has made clear it is standing by its man.

More than 100 members of Congress, dozens of civil rights groups and at least 130,800 others have called on Miller to step down, or be fired, but the White House, and the broader Republican party, has still supported Miller after it was revealed he promoted racist fears such as a conspiracy theory about the demographic replacement of white people in America.

Ruth Ben-Ghiat, who studies the history of fascism in Europe, said Miller was safe in the White House because he was the perfect combination of ideology and behind-the-scenes personality to appease Trump, an “attention-hungry leader” pushing far-right policies. . .

Miller has spearheaded an immigration policy that critics describe as cruel, racist and antithetical to American values as a nation of immigrants. He scoffs at those claims, insisting that his only priority is to protect the safety and wages of Americans.

America is at a crossroads ...

... and the coming days will define the country for a generation. These are perilous times. Over the last four years, much of what the Guardian holds dear has been threatened – democracy, civility, truth.The future of abortion and voting rights, healthcare, climate policy and much more hang in the balance. Science is in a battle with conjecture and instinct to determine policy in the middle of a pandemic. At the same time, the US is reckoning with centuries of racial injustice – as the White House stokes division along racial lines. At a time like this, an independent news organization that fights for truth and holds power to account is not just optional. It is essential.

Like many news organizations, the Guardian has been significantly impacted by the pandemic. We rely to an ever greater extent on our readers, both for the moral force to continue doing journalism at a time like this and for the financial strength to facilitate that reporting.We believe every one of us deserves equal access to fact-based news and analysis. We’ve decided to keep Guardian journalism free for all readers, regardless of where they live or what they can afford to pay. This is made possible thanks to the support we receive from readers across America in all 50 states.

As our business model comes under even greater pressure, we’d love your help so that we can carry on our essential work. If you can, support the Guardian from as little as $1 – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
