Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Someone please let Stephen miller actually melt down
PeeWee Himmler imagines himself to be a Hitler-style orator, so he melts down all the time, and it's hilarious. Check out this recent one where he addressed cops going into Memphis.

The whole thing is funny, but the end when he starts convincing himself that they are "ruthless" and "hardcore" is hilarious. He is the absolute archetype of the smarmy coward trying to act tough, and fooling NOBODY. You just know that if he took one punch to the face, he'd collapse like a sack of potatoes, and start crying and begging for mercy.
Himmler or Goebbels?
Goebbels was the propaganda guy, and liked being in charge of the movie industry. Himmler, OTOH, was the guy who wanted to kill every last Jew, and was the architect of the Final Solution.
PeeWee probably greatly admires both psychos, but he definitely has more in common with Himmler.
So it's PeeWee Himmler. Not sure who the Goebbels is in this administration, maybe Bannon, maybe Leavitt, but neither fully occupies the role. I think it is still to be cast. More candidates may emerge once the Ellisons have fully taken over CBS, and started programming overt MAGA propaganda.
