The Gallows Await Stephen Miller

Suspending habeas corpus: Miller and others manipulate a president publicly failing due to the effects of dementia.

I wish I had known Stephen Miller in grade school before I understood that bullying was bad. Between the years of first grade and fifth, I used my physical strength not to beat people up and take things that didn’t belong to me, but to maintain what I considered to be the order of the day. If any physically weaker kids challenged my order, I would offer a solid punch to keep everyone under control. I wasn’t a tyrant, but I am thankful I wasn’t controlled by someone else.

Like I said, I wish Stephen Miller, the vile, rat-like, cowardly, fascist Trump-whisperer, had been in St. Rose back then when I was still a morally-challenged little boy. My days of bullying ended when my parents split up. I was too emotionally distraught to take glee in maintaining order in school among my peers when, at home, I could no longer hear the safety of my father’s snoring through the bedroom wall. From fifth grade on, I used my physical strength to protect kids from rising threats from other bullies. Maybe it would have been better if Stephen Miller had been a year ahead of me in school. Younger kids smacking the shit out of older kids was never considered bullying, but rather just bad ass.

I don’t doubt that the worm-like, hater-of-all-humans-in-need was a fast-talking wise ass in school who was most likely pounded daily as if he were a pinata. Stephen Miller is such a grotesque person, lacking any redeeming values, that imagining any scenario where he wasn’t a human punching bag is an exercise in extreme naivety.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller has indicated that the Trump administration is actively considering whether it can suspend habeas corpus, the right of an individual to challenge their detention in court.

When asked about suspending the writ of habeas corpus as part of its efforts to deport individuals from the United States, Miller told reporters Friday, “The Constitution is clear and that, of course, is the supreme law of the land, that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus could be suspended in time of invasion.”

“So that’s an option we’re actively looking at,” he added (Suspending Habeas Corpus).

Stephen Miller is officially Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff. There is a reason he has this role, and not in a position that gives him more authority and demands of his so-called expertise. As the mere deputy, Miller is capable of buzzing about like a bee pollinating any and all conversations taking place in the White House with his policies of hate. Most importantly, with no real job responsibilities, he can buzz as long as he wants around the ear of Trump. Whenever you see Trump anywhere, cluelessly signing yet another executive order, the shadow of Miller looms over him. Pan the camera back, and you can almost see Miller mouthing the words of the order as it gets read by Trump’s male nurse to the gathered sycophantic media.

Let’s offer the elephant sitting patiently in the corner, awaiting some tree bark: Donald Trump is failing. He is a 78-year-old man who is suffering from dementia. He has almost no clue what is happening around him, and the prospect of being under the spotlight for the next four years seems to have accelerated his decline. Instead of golfing away his remaining hours on this planet in his backyard and tweeting hate, he pushed, prodded, and managed 24/7, always expected to be on and powerful. When the body inevitably drains of testosterone, something that happens to all men beginning after 40, men feel tired and are less willing to fight for their opinions. Given the increased stress levels and what is now surely an ongoing daily binge of bad food like endless cans of Coke, Trump is running on empty for sure.

Stephen Miller is 39 years old. He is still young, virile, and his testosterone levels are high enough to permit him to endlessly drive home his opinions of xenophobia, racism, and hate. Raised in a liberal Jewish household, Miller’s conversion came about when he read a book by the astute thinker, great prophet (sarcasm), and former CEO of the NRA, Wayne LaPierre. Miller was transformed and immediately started hating himself and everyone not white, Christian, and marginally stupid.

Today, Miller is one of those Jews the Nazis used in Germany, “catchers,” to inform on Jews in hiding. The notorious Stella Goldschlag, known as “Blond Poison” because of her Aryan appearance, led thousands of trusting Jews to the gas chambers. She broke every written and unwritten law of humanity and informed on her fellow Jews to save her own life and the lives of her parents. Goldschlag survived the war, and years later, in 1994, alone, she took her life by drowning herself in a pond in Freiburg, Germany. I don’t think we will be lucky enough to see Miller shooting himself anytime soon. He is so vile and demonic that I am sure his conscience is as clear as a crisp winter’s day in early March.

And that is why we must construct the gallows for Kristi Noem, JD Vance, the head of the FCC, Brendan Carr — who is threatening to shut down CBS because Trump is angry at the new program 60 Minutes — and many others. There will be a day of retribution; it might not be as violent as I am making out here with the twisting and turning of bodies fighting for last gasps of air, but there will be a judgment day, and the Gang of (exact number we don’t yet know) will pay for sure.
