Summary

Trump adviser Stephen Miller erupted on Fox News after MSNBC analyst Andrew Weissmann criticized Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants as possibly unconstitutional.

Miller called Weissmann “an absolute moron,” “a fool,” and “a degenerate,” claiming he “shills for people who rape and murder Americans.”

When host Martha MacCallum noted both could express opinions, Miller shouted that he’d “defend American lives” while Weissmann “can defend illegal alien rapists, terrorists and predators.”

This continues Miller’s pattern of televised outbursts, including previous incidents on CNN and reactions to SNL jokes about Trump.

    …people who rape and murder Americans

    I can think of a certain POTUS that raped a woman, was charged with sexual assault , and is culpable for the deaths of countless Americans.

    Is Stephen arguing for or against migrants? His arguments are the top criteria for the Trump admin, morons, fools, rapists, murderers, rapists, terrorists, and predators. I assume he said “rapists” twice because that’s his favorite.

      It’s okay when rich white people do it.

      “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

      Maybe so but it doesn’t sound like he punched that Nazi bitch in the face, which he should have done. People should not generally be comfortable insulting someone to their face like that. Fighting Words are a legal defense for assault and battery FYI.

        I’m pretty sure Weissmann knows what he can and cannot do under the law.

        Don’t bet on it. The Supreme Court’s definition of fighting words is so narrow that none of Miller’s squealing and babbling would quality.

          The sad, scary news here is that Miller represents an actual segment of the population.

          Those nutcases who scream incel nonsense out of nowhere on a reddit post? Those facebook messages where a complete stranger starts cussing you out for being a woman, being dark-skinned? For posting a picture of yourself smiling? These are the people who are Stephen Miller. He’s an archetype right now, and yes this is revolting to think about, but we’ve nurtured or allowed the nurturing of communities of these broken, sad messes of humans. They are deeply wrecked by lifetimes of self-hate and shame and sexual insecurity and there are far, far more of them than any of us realize and yeah, we should be worried.

          I think that when typical toddlers throw tantrums, they usually believe that there is some injustice that they are outraged about, like why they can’t have candy at 10:00 at night. Miller’s tantrums seem entirely performative and I don’t believe that he truly gives a fuck about any of the victims in his many anecdotes that he will cite, only that he gets to pretend he has moral superiority over someone who doesn’t show the same pretend outrage.

            He gets angry at being called out, then uses those victims’ anecdotes as an excuse to express that anger without getting attacked for it. It’s all calculated, one of many manipulation methods that bullies use.

      Reminded of that Sartre quote again https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7870768-never-believe-that-anti-semites-are-completely-unaware-of-the-absurdity

      Except instead of fall silent I guess it’s have a tantrum now?

      Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

          You won’t get banned here because it’s not possible for one single sackless hyper capitalist fascist-enabling piece of shit to “own” the whole fediverse. An instance here or there might ban you but you’re not going to get one for punching down on fascists, generally speaking.

            Reddit banned me for inciting violence when on the Canadian sub someone said “Geneva convention” I responded with “*checklist”. A very common joke about the ruthlessness of the Canadian military. Reddit does not have a standard it holds itself to

      The fun part about fascist takeovers is when they take power, they stop trying to hide what they really are.

      The thing that makes fascism self-destruct in every instance in history is that they never actually had a “playbook.” They had one trick, one narrative to get them to the top and they leave a wake of ruin behind them to get there, then they consume the host like botflies in the skin of the nation. This is why they’re going to try to stop elections and mettle with democracy broadly, because they know they will never be able to maintain a playbook narrative with this wild pack of ravenous orcs pillaging the countryside.

        This is true, even their playbook is just a ghoulish wish list of the worst people in the country and has approval rating below 10%

    This guy is always throwing tantrums when people ask questions. He must imagine it means he’s in control. He clearly has no life skills, unless being a bitter little Nazi counts as a life skill. Look at him throwing around accusations of being “a degenerate”: he even borrows his vocabulary from his hero Goebbels.

        It makes me nervous that people use the word degenerate casually without knowing the history of the word, so people like this guy using it the nazi way can just sneak in with it

      They’ve seized the Kennedy Center for the arts in Washington DC. We can expect Hitler Trump Youth displays and campaigns against degenerate art, starting here and spreading across the country.

    Kapo isn’t strong enough to describe this bastard.

    Shouting and screaming like this is his go-to move whenever he gets put in a corner. Someone should just mute his mic and slap him when he starts his Nazi fits.

    Nothing new, Stephen Miller uses fake outrage to dodge questions where the obvious answers are either because he’s scared of everything or he’s a white supremacist.

      He is not a clown joking around, he is a dangerous sociopath who is a chief architect of our budding anti-immigrant apparatus. Our Heinrich Himmler analogue.

      He is threatening a member of the press on live TV. There is nothing funny or boorish about it.
