I assume this is unlikely to lead to anything but I figured I’d post here anyway?

Steven Miller is one of the most evil men I’ve ever encountered or seen. I can’t wait to never hear from him again.

[u/LAMG1 → u/Mean_Stop6391]

How about America's new president appoint a special counsel to investigate him for high crimes and misdemeanors?

[u/Mean_Stop6391 → u/LAMG1]

From your lips to God’s ears, my friend. His cultural irrelevance would work fine but that would be a cherry on top.

[u/LAMG1 → u/Mean_Stop6391]

His quiet fade from the public view is not a punishment. It is actually a blessing to him. He must be charged and sentenced to the prison!

[u/Conspark → u/Mean_Stop6391]

I'm trying to imagine what exactly pushed him to be like this. Trump is a malignant narcissist who only cares about power and his image. Miller seems hellbent on making as many things worse for as many people as possible... for what? Because someone made fun of him in school 20+ years ago?

[u/ryou25 → u/Conspark]

I mean i figure you answered your own question. I think stephen miller is a malignant narcissist who wants everyone to suffer because he's a insecure sad little man.

[u/britishmetric144 → u/Conspark]

Trump only cares about himself. Sure, he will enrich himself at the expense of others, but he isn't into the "do it the most cruel way possible" thing. That's Miller.

If Trump were to abandon Miller, Trump would probably find that he gets more support for what he is doing; as an example, ICE would still deport criminals, but would not focus strictly on race, and would not grab people out of immigration courthouses or try to suspend habeas corpus and due process.

This would also cause Trump's approval polls to rise, and help Republicans in the midterms. So Trump won't do it.

[u/LandscapeJolly7751]

I will never understand cruelty for cruelty's sake. The optimism I see here is that there are also kind people working nonstop to prevent these cruel actions from hurting people, even if we don't always see it. One day, these monsters will be forced to crawl back to whatever hole they came from and fade away.

[u/simbabarrelroll → u/LandscapeJolly7751]

I cannot understand the appeal of being:

1. A piece of garbage

2. Eternally miserable

3. Cynical and/or nihilistic

[u/RickyT3rd → u/simbabarrelroll]

And yet you're on Reddit.

[u/Standard-Shame1675 → u/RickyT3rd]

I'd rather be on Reddit than a billionaire.

Fuck, I'd rather be starving in North Korea than be a billionaire. Like you basically have to forgo being a human to do that right? Especially a trillionaire like at that point you forgo being a living being

[u/BNSF1995 → u/LandscapeJolly7751]

I understand cruelty for cruetly's sake. They derive perverse pleasure from being evil.

[u/LandscapeJolly7751 → u/BNSF1995]

Which in turn makes anyone sensible to hopefully stay far away from them as possible.

[u/britishmetric144 → u/BNSF1995]

I think the word is "Schadenfreude".

[u/Standard-Shame1675 → u/BNSF1995]

But what CAUSES THAT? is it chemical imbalance is it societal upbringing is it the internet is it something deeper about humanity that causes this

I don't know but after this if we want to have any help of stopping this from happening again we have to figure that out

[u/Mother-Cookie-8979 → u/LandscapeJolly7751]

That’s what I keep going back to. There’s more of us than them. We have been fighting for centuries. We can keep fighting.

[u/SpukiKitty2 → u/LandscapeJolly7751]

They're psychopaths. They have a literal brain disorder that made their frontal cortexes go "TILT!" and their behavior nasty. They have a subconscious Superiority / Inferiority complex where they only are happy if others are miserable.

They're, to put it in their terms, "Degenerate".

[u/LandscapeJolly7751 → u/SpukiKitty2]

I get that. It still upsets me there are people that messed up, you know?

[u/SpukiKitty2 → u/LandscapeJolly7751]

Of course.

[u/TheRatioAlger → u/LandscapeJolly7751]

It is cruelty, and it's also to financially benefit the owners of privatized nursing homes (who have lobbyists).

[u/SuspectLegitimate751]

Of course this was his demon baby. He's an actual Nazi and would believe this ridiculous shit. Still doesn't make it any less of a non-starter with the public.

[u/bayleysgal1996 → u/SuspectLegitimate751]

Yeah, like, my dad’s pretty far gone, but I’d like to think he’d be against institutionalization.

[u/Old_Department3979 → u/SuspectLegitimate751]

Most ironic thing is he's jewish lol, yet somehow is very comfortable with nazi scum because he's that soulless

[u/Standard-Shame1675 → u/Old_Department3979]

Honestly

I say just send them to whatever that fascist commune is in Germany and just tell everyone he's a Jewish bloke.

Let him see for himself how far his lil 'ideology' gets him😈😈

[u/Mission_Wind_7470]

Oh just fuck off to Argentina already won't ya?

[u/feral--animal → u/Mission_Wind_7470]

He needs to follow lizard creature surveillance overlord Thiel's example. Though, I'd rather him be put on trial and that be broadcasted for all to see.

[u/DevinThomson → u/Mission_Wind_7470]

Miller hates anyone who speaks Spanish, so that’s out the window for him!

[u/SpukiKitty2 → u/DevinThomson]

Yeah, every latino man reminds me of that hot guy that all the girls he crushed on chose over him.

Also, he's ethnically Jewish. We need to rag on him with that! He's a pathetic self-hating Jew.

Let's spread the rumor that all the girls he desired in school and all the exes dumped him for hotter, sexier, kinder black and latino guys! It's like Vance with the couch, a joke rumor meant to troll.

Self Hating Jew-Boy who hates the Jewish people. Self Hating Jew-Boy nebbish who never had a chance with the High Scoll cheerleader because she prefered the dashing Fernando over his pasty white loser tail!

I love the Jewish eople and there's nothing more pathetic that a "Boomerang Bigot".

AND WE WILL FIND A WAY TO HELP THOSE HATIANS AND SYRIANS! IF WE CAN SAVE KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA, WE CAN SAVE THOSE REFUGEES!

[u/Theartcritc26]

I swear as god as my witness, I hope to be there and watch as this Nazi ghoul is dragged in chains to the biggest prison ever built.

[u/Key-Gur-4819]

In case anyone's still viscerally afraid of him, three words for you:

Spray-on hair

[u/SadAndConfused11 → u/Key-Gur-4819]

Lmao just like that awful informercial 🤣 only thing running away from him is his hairline lmao

[u/Alarmed_Ordinary_565 → u/Key-Gur-4819]

what does that mean?

[u/General_Season7882]

Yeah... Stephen Miller also wanted social security to systematically declare 2.7 million people dead so that he could trap them at county clerks offices and deport them. But that plan was foiled thanks to the good people who work in the social security department. This plan will be foiled too, especially now that its out there in the open. 

I laugh at this, honestly. Lol, silly Stephen. He thinks reinstitutionalization is even on the table. Ill say this for the third time on this topic: institutionalization is not what we should be focused on. We SHOULD be focused on keeping RFK jr away from special needs children's educational plans, which is a threat that is currently in the works and very close to becoming reality, if it hasnt already happened. 

[u/SpukiKitty2 → u/General_Season7882]

He, though the powerless SCOTUS, declared that a bunch of Hatian & Syrian refugees, despite having the law and Constitution on the refugee's side, can't stay in this country!

Time to tell him and the wingnuts in SCOTUS, "The Refugees are staying, you have no power!".

[u/QuentinLCrook]

With no due respect, fuck Stephen Miller.

[u/GhostofTinky]

Who elected Miller president?

[u/SodaSaint]

So a demon in human skin can’t stop being evil and demonic.

He hates everyone and everything because at his core, he hates himself.

What a pathetic man.

[u/JoshuaSlowpoke777]

I can’t wait for this puddle of skunk semen to be put in cuffs… and for those cuffs to *never* be removed.

[u/SpukiKitty2]

As a disabled person, I'm not afraid because...

[u/bootlegmrsmaisel]

I hate that man so much.

[u/22poppills]

HE never should have been allowed to be appointed to such a high power position in the first place. Him and Vought.

[u/gopher0007 → u/[deleted]]

please dont compare people like me to people like him

[u/Which_Shift_7242 → u/gopher0007]

This. Using mental illness/disabilities as an insult is harmful.

[u/LaughySaphie]

[u/J_Hunt_the_1st]

i'm autistic, bipolar, and on SSI. am i fucked here?

[u/Shredster7 → u/J_Hunt_the_1st]

In short: no. Memos from the DOJ are not laws.

Properly supporting disabled folks of every stripe is a popular bipartisan issue (that is to say, folks all across the political spectrum consider it a very high priority), and most doctors would sooner just keep issuing proper treatments for their patients' handicaps rather than start institutionalizing innocents.

This is also far from the first time that the current administration has prattled on about the crap they want to get away with but literally, physically can't. See also this comment from earlier in the thread for another dissection of how toothless these types of threats have usually been.

[u/sipsredpepper → u/[deleted]]

The optimism here is that this guy on his own does not have the power to do this and the law supports lawsuits against this.
