These people have 0 integrity.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 48 points 1 month ago (2 children)

These people look different every time I see them, like they're trying to erase what their souls have written on their faces.

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

I was randomly thinking about John Boehner last night and wondering if shit like this is the real reason why he'd burst into tears all the time. Like his conscious was betraying him as he lied and spread disinformation for the GOP.

Mar-a-lago face.

[–] Bluegrass_Addict@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 month ago

integrity. they probably think that word is referencing a few SouthPark episodes on 'the devils lettuce'

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Unabashed liars and criminals

[–] becausechemistry@piefed.social 69 points 1 month ago (12 children)

I cannot wait for every one of these people to stand in front of judges and try to weasel their way out of it.

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 42 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Those on trial at Nuremburg mostly continued to hold their horrific views right through their executions.

[–] becausechemistry@piefed.social 40 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah but those people actually believed things. Our people are sniveling shitheads whose beliefs only extend to the extent they can benefit from them.

Except Stephen Miller, maybe.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Except Stephen Miller, maybe.

I was about to say, Miller is a true fascist, racist cunt and is not apologetic about if. He'll go to his grave telling you he's superior to everyone. Hopefully the wait for that moment is brief.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

Yeah but he's also a little bitch, so.... Hard to say

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

Curtis Yarvin too. He's the "philosopher" behind Thiel, Musk, Andreeson, Ben Horowitz, Brian Armstrong, and the other technofascists running the coup that's happening now.

Oh also Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation. He is a straight up domestic terrorist (he said it himself) and needs to be handled as such.

[–] novibe@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago

Also reminder that the vast majority of Nazis were not executed at Nuremberg. They were freed, and went on to join the nascent NATO and West German government.

The first NATO general was a Nazi general. The first president of the German intelligence agency was a Nazi spy master.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I can't wait to watch them try to weasel their way out of a noose.

Stephen Miller's slimy featureless cylindrical head would probably slip right through.

Asked why administration officials like Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem jumped to conclusions “before an investigation had even been conducted,” Leavitt said, “Well, look, this has obviously been a very fluid and fast-moving situation throughout the weekend, as President Trump, whom I speak for, he has said that he wants to let the investigation continue and let the facts lead in this case

Ok? Why didn't you do that?

[–] whereIsTamara@lemmy.org 30 points 1 month ago

Because they call him an assassin on conservative news, and then apologize on “liberal” news.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

"Facts" doesn't mean the same thing to them as it does to you and me. I can already tell you what the conclusion of their investigation will be.

[–] phx@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"whom I speak for"

Pretty fast to grab the reins on that one, hmmm

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

To be fair, speaking for him is literally and officially her job 🤷

To be more fair and also more accurate, though, lying her ass off for him is her ACTUAL job.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 7 points 1 month ago

You can start the line with > to make it a block quote.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 49 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Stephen Miller needs to be treated as a domestic terrorist and traitor to the United States of America.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Arrest, prosecute, jail, hang (until dead. Give it a week or so).

You can do that process in any order you like though...

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Hang him low enough we can piss on him.

... Or, better yet, a pissing platform, like a diving board, elevated.

Wait if I invent this can it be named after me?

The chances of him facing actual charges after Trump dies is actually very high.

When the administration shatters and everyone is scrambling to shift blame knowing their free-pass to immunity has disappeared, they will desperately need some high-level cabinet member to point at, and this may come as a shock to everyone... but Stephen Miller is not very likeable.

Everyone hates this guy, he is as cringe and annoying in real life as he is on camera, everyone says it. The only reason he's there is because he learned who he can wormtongue to climb in power, and found the ultimate cursed husk to puppeteer in Trump. They will delight in throwing his gangly limbs under the bus.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Yeah one can only hope. I have low confidence that anything will happen to anyone when the regime falls because "we must move on with unity and forgiveness" or some shit that Democrats will say.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (7 children)

It really depends on how successful the midterms are at flushing out the establishment Dems in power in house and senate, they are sweating right now because the last wave of local elections REALLY ran against the mainstream grain. Dems have been pushing back on electing open socialists and reformists running under the DNC brand, and instead of successfully squashing these runs down, they failed across the board at stopping grassroots movements.

If Midterms flip the legislative branch significantly AND Trump can't finish his term, we may see a wild swing back in the other direction.

The Democrats are just a container, they're only as strong in obstruction to change as their oldest old-money liches like Schumer and other withered old husks who've had their seats and committee positions for like, 3,000 years.

She should be asked in every press conference how close Trump is to firing him. When is the President going to fire Miller? They should hear it every single day.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 21 points 1 month ago

Spoiler alert: No one is going to apologize for it.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

I'd love to see Miller get asked that every single time he's in front of cameras.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 14 points 1 month ago

Even if he apologizes we all know that Steven Miller is a soulless ghoul. An apology and word only is no apology at all, and that's assuming that he will even do that much. I can't remember him ever apologizing for anything before, so...

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

The no-vote agenda helped bring this on and I damn well hope you're happy with it.

[–] Goretantath@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Well yeah, russia is pretty great at stirring up shit online.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You blame everyone that already told you they wouldn't vote for them, not the people that chose a candidate that no one would vote for. Brilliant take mate.

We all knew what the electorate was, you refused to do anything differently, and lost to the most unpopular person in the country, deeply hated, by choosing the only person with lower approvals to run as the status quo with the republicans running as reform.

Don't let a score or more of half wits make you think you are right, you are the problem, you are why we lost, and the bots and influence agents are inflating your votes, to help saddle us with losing candidates, you better believe it.

Get your head out of the billionaires' asses and do better.

How does she sleep at night?

Upside down in a suspended coffin.

With her face resting in a jar of, what's the shit called that q claims they harvest from trafficked children, that life force bullshit. That.

Adrenochrome. I find it funny how that urban myth got changed since Fear and Loathing was written.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh sorry I was going to ask, I read that book too but don't recall that part well, what was the reference in fear and loathing about adrenochrome. I recall the adrenal gland being sold for legal services to his lawyer.

I hate how the new york times describes it. As if reasonable people could come to conclusions in support of the government. The video appears to contradict their account, type talk.

It's quite clear, it was clear with ms good and it's clear with Pretti, they were executed, in cold blood, then slandered to justify it. And most conservatives have gone along, as if federal agents executing citizens without cause is an ok precedent to set, as if it will always be the others, as if it doesn't give lie to all of their convictions and stances.

And no, the mealy mouthed NRA deserves little credit, following it's weak disagreement summary execution for reasons on carrying a handgun legally with a false accounting of protesters and victim blaming.

These people are actively betraying the United States, and the weak minded amongst the conservatives are ok with it, so much have they bought into the media and influencers that have turned them against their fellow citizens, and against the country and constitution in favor of the worst people in the world getting absolute power and plunging the world into interminable darkness, so to speak.

Every institution that previously called these people out, and resisted, gave up this time around. The NYTimes is not breaking any big scandals, and are bending over for the administration, everyone gave up prematurely here, no doubt after seeing how the democrats weren't going to win under any circumstance.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

everyone gave up prematurely here

What are you talking about? NOBODY has given up, it's still the primary story, after the immediate issue of the big storm. But the storm is over, and the ICE Executions are still the main story. Today Bovino is out, Noem is being replaced by Homan, Lewandowski is probably out, and I have heard several people demand Miller's firing just this morning.

This isn't even CLOSE to over.

Maybe you're just one of those trolls who have been flooding social media with the "it's no use, the Dem leaders have surrendered, we might as well surrender, too" posts.

Assholes. All of them. Everything those motherfuckers do to destroy in the name of "patriotism" every fucking day, they only make Putin very fucking happy.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago

Stephen Miller looks like he would be most at home performing a Nazi salute at Nuremberg just before falling through the gallows.
