CNN asked Miller whether the Trump Administration will abide by a district judge’s order blocking the Guard’s deployment in Oregon. “Well, the Administration filed an appeal this morning with the Ninth Circuit,” Miller began. “I would note the Administration won an identical case in the Ninth Circuit just a few months ago with respect to the federalizing of the California National Guard.”

Then, Miller said: “Under Title 10 of the U.S. Code, the President has plenary authority, has—” before making an abrupt stop. Miller blinked several times, with anchor Boris Sanchez calling out his name, though he still did not respond.

A plenary power or plenary authority is a complete and absolute power to take action on a particular issue, with no limitations.

Guy obviously can't deal with continuing a conversation while someone is chewing him out in his earpiece. Makes Dubya look like a master orator.

Chat, is this AI?

And by that I mean Miller himself. Is he a robit.

[–] ikilledlaurapalmer@lemmy.world 0 points 7 hours ago

What’s a robit?

It took that for someone to become "suspicious" of the Trump Administration while Trump has been talking about dictatorship for years now ... what a joke.

[–] betanumerus@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 hours ago

It didn't take it for us, but to his supporters, it apparently still isn't enough.

CNN edited their YouTube clip of the interview and removed the part in question. Someone on Reddit clipped it though: https://www.reddit.com/r/Military/comments/1o0x5ib/miller_glitches_while_falsely_claiming_title_10/

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 38 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (5 children)

Apparently Reddit is working hard to try to scrub that off their site as well. The boot licking continues.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

Not that hard. Even Kimmel had it on and only focused no the glitch out.

For real, this is literally the moment that all trust in the media collapsed.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 22 points 23 hours ago

After the last two years of genocide justification and lying for Israel I am surprised anyone had any trust left.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 71 points 1 day ago (2 children)

CNN is state media. It cannot be trusted.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 12 hours ago

with ellison ready to take over it, after MALONE.

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 36 points 1 day ago

Yes. All corporate media is state media. None of it can be trusted.

It's a sad state of affairs when you'll get better information from Teen Vogue than any organization in the White House Press Pool.

[–] nulluser@lemmy.world 57 points 1 day ago

Keep bending the knee and licking the boots, CNN.

[–] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 59 points 1 day ago (1 children)

ITT : Lots of very suspect defense of nazis.

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 23 hours ago (13 children)

Right?! Fuck these Nazis, and fuck you if you have any sympathy for them, you're fucking evil too

I hope someone is planning to spin up a new House Un-American Activities Committee to deal with these shit stains when this is all over.

[–] nosuchanon@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

you miss understand, they have already decided who is un-American and are enforcing their policy.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago

Very optimistic that you think it will end. I like your energy my friend.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 183 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Not a glitch, this is how they introduce these ideas and shift the Overton window more right.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 48 points 1 day ago (4 children)

This is nothing new, Miller has said himself the president has absolute power. We're just all transfixed now because Miller fell down a Khole or his amphetamines started to wear off in the middle of an interview.

If it takes this kind of spectacle to make people aware of how bad this administration is, we're so fucked.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 hours ago

We're worse than fucked, because even this won't be enough for people

I mean is it not common knowledge at this point that Republicans are fascists and are planning to turn America into an authoritarian state and Americans are too weak and servile to do anything about it?

I thought it was pretty obvious by now.

So I looked it up and title 10 is all the rules that govern the US armed forces. The president of the United States can trivially be shown to not have plenary authority by the simple fact that the constitution exists. That is in fact the entire point of the constitution, it ensures nobody in the United States has plenary authority. Even title 10 disproves that as it sets out the rules that US armed forces must operate under.

[–] Juice@midwest.social 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The constitution is a social contract. Since such a contract can serve as the basis for all society, then the legitimacy of all contractual obligations are linked to the legitimacy of this one, that ensure we have rights and freedom in order to enter into contractual obligations.

Since the representatives of the state founded on the constitution have broken the social contract, then all contracts are null and void.

Didn't you get the news last week? Clarence Thomas issued a new ruling that declared the constitution unconstitutional. Apparently they didn't have the right to write it so he nullified it.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 15 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Well, Thomas stupidly just removed his own authority to declare things unconstitutional, automatically reinstating it

The executive is a co-equal branch of government. We don't do kings here. We kill kings.

We also kill Nazis. Per long tradition. We don't debate them. We don't platform them. Nazis are guilt free kills. Don't even count as human.

[–] Sideshow_B00b@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago

But.. but.. ”zey vere just folloving orders”

Punch-a-nazi would be a great substitute for whack-a-mole BTW

[–] verdi@feddit.org 6 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

That's the story you've been told, it is in fact false. You save and help Nazis flee prosecution and the only kings you ever killed were the original inhabitants of America that you genocided in your manifest destiny.

No amount of chest thumping is going to erase the fact you're already living in the 4th reich and the best you can do about it is shoot some random blogger in the neck. And then you have the gall to ridicule the French...

edit: Like someone mentioned below, the only king you killed was MLK.

[–] Ging@anarchist.nexus 170 points 1 day ago (9 children)

We have never killed kings here. We also stayed out of Nazi affairs for many years. The sentiment is nice, but more than misleading. You got weird history books anon
