Shit about to get even more fascist. Wiles was a piece of shit but a as semi-competent one.

Miller is going to go hard on fascism and give access to Trump to the worst people.

    Bold of you to assume he’ll live that long. His dementia is very very obvious and he looks like warmed over shit (more so than usual). Every clock tick is getting louder and louder

    His dad lived longer and he’s got the best healthcare in the country. Evil people love proving everyone wrong about how long they’ll live.

    By all means, I hope I’m wrong.

    True but his dad wasn’t obese with a McDonalds and Diet Cokes only diet and a history of taking uppers. He also didn’t take large quantities of aspirin. So I think you will be wrong!

    I mean I can then again say that Trump’s medical attention has probably vastly outclassed whatever his dad may have received, although I do agree that Trump’s lifestyles are probably more insane / prone to risk.

    If I was a billionaire, I’d personally put about a million on him dying either right after he gets out of office or like within the same year he reaches his dad’s age which is checks notes…. 93. Trump is 80. Oof lol, never-mind about living anywhere near him.

    I’d say he makes it to 83, ultimately dying of total heart failure - primarily caused due to no longer having the joy of being king to keep his soul attached to that rotten, decrepit corpse he calls his body.

    • Of course this would be with his conditions being worsened by his 8-ball combination of STDs, drug abuse, science denial/ignorance, and near life long lacking of physical/aerobic exercise.

    Pragmatically, this might work out for us. Based on how little we ultimately know about Susie Wiles, relative to the rest of the chronies, I’d assume she was much more competent than Miller will be about keeping things coaligned as much as possible as they’re trying to coordinate the interests (seemingly in this order) of:

    1. Trump
    2. Trump family
    3. Epstein co-conspirators / blackmail assets
    4. US oligarchs / federalist society (i.e. John Roberts, Russ Vought, Musk, Heritage foundation, etc.)
    5. Russia
    6. Israel
    7. Saudi Arabia
    8. Other foreign nations
    9. Foreign oligarchs
    10. Chronies (Rubio, Miller, Hegseth, etc.)

    I can all but guarantee Susie was actually phenomenal at this, given the difficulties. For ex, I assume Miller is going to prioritize white supremacy over Israel obviously unless it’s a really good deal. He will likely not support Rubio’s decisions nearly as much. Stuff like that.

    That never matters. These people view being a minority in anyway as something that primarily applies to poors, leftists, or really anyone who’s not in their club.

    It’s why Kaash or Vance’s wife are even allowed in the vicinity. They’re white christians by proximity.

    Ohh good points. Hadn’t thought about it from this angle…I’m curious to see who they bring in as the deputy now, if its Stephen millers wife, you know its going to be all about the priorities you outlined above. I think he is ultimately going to fail at keeping the staff in line, and you will see more people leave and lots of leaks about what is being planned. But thats just my uneducated take on it lol.

    This is not a signal that Trump is thinking of compromise. Chief of Staff is an incredibly powerful position. By controlling access to the president, they have more control over policy than most cabinet members.

    This may be less so w/ Trump bc he's such an undisciplined POTUS. But any power Miller gets will surely be used for wickedness.

    Especially because Miller knows the specific ways to manipulate Trump - it's how he's embedded himself so deeply already, effectively controlling domestic law enforcement, immigration and DOJ policy, despite that he still had layers of people separating him. Now by controlling access, he can decide exactly what Trump hears and therefore thinks.

    I think we got lucky in 2026 with ICE not at polls, but I think this is the earliest signal to not take a victory lap yet, and that they will try a full coup in or by 2028. It will be VERY hard with them losing the House and Senate, but I still think Miller will try.

    I've been uncharacteristically optimistic all week, I haven't used any drugs since before election day but I am riding high on a sudden newfound optimism for the future of America, im really excited to see how 2028 plays out, I feel like MAGA is in for a quick demise, and yet there is still a cynical part of me waiting for it all to come crashing down any day now, I worry I'm in for a dangerous crash at the end of this high

    Anyone who thought Trump was going to moderate his rhetoric was definitely dreaming. Prepare for the White House to be much, much worse.

    On the other hand, any Democrat who thought that they might be able to work with Trump during his lame duck years just got a dose of reality.

    Clearly, it is a strong signal that trump wants to work with the democrats.

    So the voters basically say to Trump "we'd prefer a government that isn't so far-right" and Trump's reaction is to veer even harder to the right

    If Miller gets the opportunity he will try to seize as much power as he can.

    In case anybody who isn’t convinced that this Trumpland isn’t a festering racist conclave of rats and haters who have no compassion for human life if their colour isn’t white, then this appointment of the head rat should spell it out clearly to the whole world that the UNITED STATES is now run by a mentally unbalanced demon!

    They did a coup last time. Pretty sure they are planning to do another in two years. Miller is just starting with the planning already, moving up in position to start up the fuckery.

    This time there'll be no doubt. trump in his snazzy (size xxxxl) black leather trench coat scrreaming orders to storm the Capital building. His Brown Shirts and Storm Troopers in official uniform and black knee boots, goose stepping in formation down the street, flying the flag of a face print in orange and splatter of Weder Tomatkatchup on a wall. They salute with right arms raised in unison and a heartily screamed All Hale the Bigly Yuge Stable Genius as they pass him.

    I'd say that's the clearest signal from him yet that he has zero intention of signing a single thing that comes across his desk for the next two years. Miller is the guy you put in when you realize it's suddenly time to hide all the bodies, rip all the copper out of the walls, and plant a few IEDs for the next guy to find as you lock the door behind you and break the keys, plain and simple.

    I've viewed Miller as the Wormtongue in Trump's ear, that he's taking the role just shows how few people are left to even take these roles for Trump. People are jumping ship.

    Remember when he used to spray paint "hair" on his head?

    He is bucking for a vice presidency, I think. He's in my opinion the most dangerous man in the White House.

    Well he’s definitely in the running for most evil. I’d put Kennedy, Hegseth, and him in a neck and neck race. I don’t really think Trump is evil. Just a narcissistic sociopath with dementia. Not that there a giant amount of difference per se.

    That's... why we have to prevent it. If the midterm election results didn't prove to doomers that downfall and misery is not a foregone conclusion and we shouldn't all just give up and let the fascists do whatever they want, I don't know what to tell you..
