Yesterday, Stephen Miller delivered a eulogy for Charlie Kirk that served as a battle cry for the Trump administration’s state-sponsored war on his perceived foes—a war for which Miller is the primary strategist. The speech was a jarring piece of rhetoric. It is a perfect encapsulation of the ethos of Trumpism, boiling away the president’s idiosyncratic habits of mixing insult comedy and weird digressions into his rhetoric and leaving, in Miller’s tongue, the residue of pure ideology and will to power.

Miller’s theme was that President Donald Trump’s side embodies pure good, his opponents pure evil, and the former is destined to utterly destroy the latter. Republicans have never stopped complaining that Hillary Clinton once described a portion of Trump’s base as “a basket of deplorables.” Yet over the weekend the president’s most powerful adviser depicted half the country as worthless, irredeemably wicked, and fated for destruction.

If Miller had his way about it, they'd already be bulldozing leftists into mass graves.

    That is beautiful, and that reporter handled that perfectly. He should hold workshops.

    Just so calmly "Why are you yelling?" Then "You don't have numbers."

    Way to not let that squealing asshole deflect and take control of the narrative. You ask your very reasonable question, and you simply refuse to engage with any of the bullshit he throws at you. He spent almost 5 mins trying to throw every talking point he could think of at that guy to get him off track rather than just answering the question.

    What the FUCK

    And just so the audience is aware, you are married to Stephen Miller, so you are the envy of all women,” Watters said. “What is that like?”

    “The sexual matador, right?” she answered.

    “What is it like being married to such a sexual matador?” a laughing Watters, who gave Miller the stomach-turning label last year, asked.

    “He is an incredibly inspiring man who gets me going in the morning with his speeches being like, ‘Let’s start the day. I am going to defeat the left and we are going to win.’” she said. “He wakes up the day ready to carry out the mission that President Trump was elected to do.”

    I was making fun of the specific choice of wording, and possible additional layer of hypocrisy... but Jesus Christ. I'm not sure if that's better or worse honestly.

    It's so, so much worse. It's incredibly bizarre, and Katie Miller's eerie lack of offense-taking at the whole thing just makes it extra frightening. I do think she's uncomfortable, you can see it a little bit, but mostly she's just smiling and smoothly deflecting to some safe topic of conversation. It's so fucking bizarre. Watters finishes up by talking about bringing in cameras so everyone can see what it looks like when her and Stephen are fucking.

    As I wrote in another comment today:

    Blatant hypocrisy is a feature. It helps sort the sycophants from the future concentration camp residents.

    Yeah? And? Their hypocrisy has been on full display for years now. It doesn't fucking matter. Get involved in your local community, in whatever form that takes for you. You might need to stand with your neighbors soon.

    "We are the storm. And our enemies cannot comprehend our strength, our determination, our resolve, our passion,” he thundered. “Our lineage and our legacy hails back to Athens, to Rome, to Philadelphia, to Monticello. Our ancestors built the cities. They produced the art and architecture. They built the industry.”

    Miller taunted his opponents, “You have no idea the dragon you have awakened.” To the contrary, his targets seem very aware of the administration’s instinct to take revenge. But given Miller’s past statements, I question the premise that Kirk’s murder “awakened” Miller’s desire to crush the right’s enemies. It seems to have merely provided a convenient pretext.

    That's not the narrative, tho. The story goes, the shooter was radicalized by the left and his trans partner while in a liberal college.

    None of its true, but if you whistle it loud enough, you can find the other people around you willing to use it as a justification for violence against minorities.
