Just over nine months after President Donald Trump returned to office and pardoned his supporters who stormed the US Capitol, one of the Republican’s top aides suggested that federal law enforcement may arrest Democrats standing up to the White House’s anti-migrant agenda, including Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. Asked about the administration’s willingness and federal authority to arrest the…

    Every time I hear about that whiny bitch named Stephan Miller my blood runs hot with indignation. He is the exact type my ancestors would dump for trying to break deals already signed just so he didn’t have to pay for cargo, the type that festers due to modernity who think historically they’d have done better rather than getting shot at the age of 16 for being a shit heel.

      Yes. More so than even the pedo-in-chief, I would so love to see so many of these side-kick thugs in prison - Bannon, Gorka, Bondi, Noem, Hegseth, RFK Jr, and especially Miller.

    There we are again… any remotely threatening statement against the administration is antifa terrorism, but threats against state and local officials are freely given from this administration.

      Almost as if they are hypocritical on purpose. Thus, they muddy the waters enough to convince the layperson everyone is doing it

    Listen to 5 minutes of this shitstain show his true beliefs when he goes off on an angry rant and you will see how simply true the phrase “Stephen Miller is a Nazi” rings.

    California state Sen. Scott Weiner (D-11), one of the Democrats running for former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s seat in the next cycle, said: “They’re now explicitly taking the position that state and local elected officials are committing crimes when they attempt to protect their communities from the ICE secret police.”

    This is the stage of fascist coup we are at in the US.

      Yes, he is very disturbing and it’s incredible that anyone wants him anywhere near power.

        No one wants him near power. But only people like him seek power. So it’s more of a sampling error. The majority don’t have the time/energy/resources or desire to seek power. We just want to live our lives. While complaining that there’s never anyone like us to vote for. Simultaneously being held back by the dumbest most hateful quarter of us.

    I don’t have time to follow him around but if you give me a time and place I will stand between pritzker, one of the best governors illinois has had, and the piece of shit stephen miller.

    This shit is getting out of control. I don’t think people understand how close we are to a full dictatorship. Some would say we are already there, but there is still time. Once a dictatorship is installed, the only way from it is assassination…. It’s also a great preventer… just saying.

      Oh, some of us know. And some of us are sick of the edging.

      We’re going there, inexorably. They’re trying to pretend that’s not what’s happening, and loads of people are happy to go along with it out of… denial? Blissful ignorance?

      But some of us just wish they’d drop the fragments of their mask, already, so we can stop debating where we are in the 14 steps and just fucking deal with the problem.

      And assassination usually just results in the next most ruthless psycho becoming dictator. The only real way out is a mass movement, which the dictatorship will do everything it can to make almost impossible.

      This is why at every protest I talk to folks shaking my head that 90% of the populace is not out here. None of this is ok.
