THIS is how you deal with fascists!! George Stephanapoulus with Stephen Miller

Last edited Sun Feb 12, 2017, 07:38 PM - Edit history (2)

It's worth watching to the end, as George says, "Next time you can provide evidence to support your claims." Cut off interview.
BAM!!

Miller got more and more hysterical and angry as George asked him for evidence. He kept saying, "Everyone knows," and "We have said," none of which are facts.

Later, Himmler Miller said this, which scared the hell out of me:

The end result of this, though, is that our opponents, the media and the whole world will soon see as we begin to take further actions, that the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned.[/i]

Here it is on twitter - you don't need to join twitter to watch this:

1. So instead of KellyAnne, we're now getting this guy reading a teleprompter?

He was robotic. George was masterful with him!!

[adigal]

3. Yes, his Gish Gallop isn't up to Kellyanne Goebbel's yet

But he will certainly practice more.

[wordpix]

60. this guy is Bannon's sidekick, according to Joe Scarb

recently said on his show, Thur or Fri, that Bannon and Miller are in a power struggle with "other people." Geist asked, "You mean the Trump family?" and Scab refused to confirm or deny. That's a confirmation the family members allegedly divorced from the maladmin. in order to run Trump biz's are indeed engaged in the WH admin.

[mchill]

81. He was Jefferson Session's aide before his current job

[adigal]

97. Trump's pal said the problems are Priebus' fault...which means he will be gone soon

They are getting rid of any of the traditionalists. Spicer, Priebus will both be gone. This little Himmler will be what they think is the tough guy, but he will help bring about their downfall.

[calimary]

72. I could not help noticing that!

His eyes flicked from side to side which is what you see when you're watching somebody reading cue-cards (that are held for you directly under the camera lens by a stage-hand) or a teleprompter. We had just finished watching the replay of SNL that my husband recorded last night to be sure we'd see it if we fell asleep. So the replay is finished. Switch to "watch cable." BOOM. It's on regular NBC because that's what we left the TV tuned to last night. And turning it on this morning takes us immediately to "Meet the Press."

And there's this - yep, VERY good word for him - robotic dude talking up trump and I swear, I thought "Wait a minute - is THIS SNL?"

He was SPECTACULARLY robotic! As though he still had the coat hanger in his coat when he put it on. VISIBLY reading off a teleprompter or a set of cue cards. Those eyes gave that away - OR their rapid side-to-side movement indicated some sort of either vision disorder, nerve disorder, or perhaps something latent that's even worse. His youth and appearance, all clean-cut and clean-shaven and suited up, strongly suggested one of this new generation of SNL cast members. For a moment, I was utterly confused. Is this reality or spoofery?

Maybe in this Stephen Miller dude's case, it's "extreme" spoofery, or inadvertent, unconscious spoofery maybe.

[DesertRat]

91. "Is this SNL"? LOL

I know exactly what you mean! I predict this lying shifty-eyed robot WILL be a character on SNL soon!

[Fast Walker 52]

2. the completely absurd dishonesty of this administration stand

[Fast Walker 52]

4. that has such soulless dead eyes, what a fuckwit

[riversedge]

101. I noticed his eyes also-rather freaky. And his robotic like talking points were

--well not scary. Just weird and stupid. He lies as much as Conway, who he seems to be replacing on the Sunday talk shows (today at least).

[hedda_foil]

5. Dead, dead eyes with no affect whatsoever.

[progressoid]

38. Yep. n/t

[FlaGranny]

65. Those eyes

made me think of Putin - dead, cruel eyes.

[hedda_foil]

90. Yes, that's what struck me too. Miller and Putin have the same dead eyes... and cruel as well.

Horrible people.

[Paladin]

107. A lot like Goebbels---but with much deader eyes.

Impeachment can't happen soon enough for me.

[Fast Walker 52]

6. this guy is better than Sean Spicer though... probably will be taking over Press Sec job soon

[Norbert9]

10. If by better you mean more like Joseph Goebbels, then yeah he's better.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

66. +1 nt

[Fast Walker 52]

88. Stephen Miller is what you'd get if--

Joseph Goebbels and Pee Wee Herman fucked and made a baby, then never once gave it a hug.

[Turn CO Blue]

93. Bwa ha ha ha! Dead. n/t

[moonscape]

105. OMG - best of the day! Okay, week! n/t

[dalton99a]

30. Yep, Trump really likes him.

[Fast Walker 52]

89. yeah, he tweeted praise this morning about him

[tblue37]

52. More likely that Higbie guy--former SEAL--will, because Trump would really like his look and

military background.

[Hortensis]

57. Some ex-military guy is being rumored for that also.

[adigal]

96. I don't know, he lost his cool. Was shouting at George S. nt

[uponit7771]

100. For laughs we need Spicer... we need laughs

[CincyDem]

7. Jeeebus...this guy takes white supremacist racism to a whole new level. n/t

[winetourdriver01]

8. George

While I appreciate what George is trying to do, that fact remains that thanks in large part to our national media we have a government made up of con-men, psychopaths, neonazis and other assorted criminals. If said media wants to make up for it by exposing these creeps, I'm all for it- but as far as I'm concerned they are still not off the hook.

[flygal]

19. Seriously!!

I've seen better prepared high school debaters with backed up statements. He has nothing but his opinion. And the saddest part is that is what trump voters believe without the evidence to back up those claims. unbelievable! Where was this fact checking during the election?!

[madokie]

22. As far as I'm concerned

George should have shut him down early on in that interview.

The cretin was allowed to repeat his unsubstantiated claims several time. To me that is unacceptable
Press, Wake the fuck up!

[spooky3]

34. I agree. He should have contradicted the non citizens

Registered claim, that there is no evidence of that; he should have said "if in fact busloads of people entered NG just prior to the election, and you have provided no evidence of that, couldn't they have been GOTV volunteers?"; he could have said "I very well CAN and WILL deny that..."

He's allowing the repetition to convey a message that many viewers predisposed to believe what Spicer Jr said, to believe it with too little challenge.

[dem4decades]

36. Agreed, just give him one chance to provide evidence, then shut him down.

[marcopolo63]

58. ...not like it's 3 strikes and your out...

...but George gave way too much air time to that bad propagandabot! With the short segment he should've had just one chance to tell a truthy thing, then it's on to the next lie.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

67. I'm with you

I think he did only a minimal job of holding this guy accountable for the lies he was telling. He should watch Joy Reid, Chris Cuomo, or Jake Tapper.

George has always been and will probably always be a lightweight and no match for these pathological liars

[LiberalLovinLug]

73. Yes, he's part of the problem

He's been a card carrying member of the false equivalency club for so many years. Don't piss any side off no matter how terrible they act. Always keep it that its all just a matter of opinion depending on which side of the issue you are on. Never have facts in front of you to embarrass one side over the other.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

103. Nah

Miller's hung himself with his childish repetition.

[Norbert9]

9. Am I naive to think that a President Pence would remove Bannon, Conway, Miller?

[randome]

16. He would have to in order to restore SOME level of confidence in the Executive office.

But Pence has that 'True Aryan' look about him and he's intertwined with too much of Trump's doings to be let off the hook, IMO. If Trump goes down, I think Pence does, as well.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]Dolt45's scorecard:
Muslim ban = failed. Yemen raid = failed. Approval ratings = failed.
Mexican wall = failed. Economic utopia = failed. Grade point average = 0.[/center][/font][hr]

[socialist_n_TN]

37. Leaving Ryan as president.........

The ultimate and most ideological neo-liberal of them all.

[randome]

44. Maybe. How much has Ryan supported Trump about not releasing his taxes?

If he's done too much of that, he might be as untrusted by the American people as Dolt45. Plus, he dragged his feet about accepting the position of Speaker of the House. It would be obvious he isn't one to do the heavy lifting required of a REAL President. Again, there might be a very public outcry against him, too.

[socialist_n_TN]

106. So Ryan goes..............

Leaving McConnell. Then on down the line of succession. President Betsy DeVos anyone?

There's not much help in the arena of bourgeois politics.

[Generic Brad]

11. Do they really believe their bullshit?

Saying it doesn't make it true. Trump & Co need to put up or shut up.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

12. That is a prime example of what is referred to as....

"Begging the question."

Assuming facts not in evidence and then claiming "everybody knows" they are true.

[July]

29. Thank you for describing what that term means!

I get irrationally annoyed when people use "begging the question" to mean "raising the question," when it has long been used to describe a logical fallacy.

[Ligyron]

83. I've noticed that too.

But then, logic and rational thought have never been our countrymen's strong point.

Unless we start teaching critical thinking in our public schools, we're doomed as a free nation.

[dalton99a]

32. They're masters at BS'ing the gullible.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

13. I thought that was pretty lame. He let hat slimy brownshirt ramble on and on. Should've cut

him off way sooner.

[adigal]

98. I know....but it had a beautiful ending. :) nt

[smirkymonkey]

14. "Is that a pledge pin sir!"

Fucking lying Nazi piece of scum.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

43. Niedermeier! Perfect. :-)

[procon]

15. He speaks in single sentence bullet points.

It's like he watched a powerpoint slideshow and memorized each line separately without any understanding of the overall context and doesn't have any idea what he's talking about. He appeared stiff and uncertain, an automaton, robotically repeating the same bullet points but without any supporting content to validate his assertions.

He's probably has gotten away with his fact free BS spiel for so long in just addressing rightwing audiences, he thinks it's an ironclad argument. He seems blithely unaware that he sounds like an inexperienced demagogue who is trying to hide his lack of knowledge by talking in nonsensical repetitive circles.

[BREMPRO]

76. yep, right wing echo, the "everyone in NH knows.." is the tip off, everyone in RW audiences

brainwashed by RW talking points knows, not EVERYONE.. or factual.

[Falcon101]

99. Teleprompter

He did the same thing on other talk shows. He was certainly reading something with the eye movement-probably a teleprompter. Obviously prepared for the questions with the nonsensical talking points.

[RelativelyJones]

17. They want civil war.

[Achilleaze]

18. This republican liar has a sleazy similarity to republican liar Eliott Abrams

[democrank]

20. Cut him off after the second time he refuses to back up his claim.

That's it. Cut that fascist off.

[PA Democrat]

21. Trumpie just loves his angry lying propagandists

This guy takes the lies to a whole new level. When challenged he just got more shrill and insistent that black is white and up is down.

[underpants]

23. "and I'll repeat it" What a soulless fucking douchebag Miller is

I'd never seen him before. He doesn't look real. Complete bullshit. He exhibited "The Big LIE" perfectly - repetition repetition repetition

Read Allen Raymond's "How to Rig an Election". Great short read with some funny stories. Raymond did 4 months in jail for the phone jamming in NH in 2002.

[boston bean]

24. Trump thought it was GREAT!! Put his latest tweet in ur op.

[yallerdawg]

51. Repeating lies and FAKE NEWS is "representing me"...

and is doing a "Great job!"

Keep digging, you moronic peddler of bullshit!

You're on notice.

[SamKnause]

25. Republicans are EVIL !!!!

Fuck Trump !!!

Fuck the Trump administration !!!

Fuck Stephen Miller !!!

Vile, lying, opportunists !!!

I despise them !!!

They are the greatest threat this country and the world faces !!!!!!!!!!!

Their policies and actions are based on LIES !!!

They are depraved and absent of any morals !!!!!!!!!

They are the faces of EVIL !!!!!!!!!!!

[logosoco]

26. Sure everyone knows

because some people said! You don't really need facts or evidence if someone said it! Duh!

[SamKnause]

27. The guest should be asked for evidence 1 time after making a claim.

If the guest offers no evidence or proof of the claim, the interviewer should cut their mic.

The interviewer should explain to the audience that lying will not be tolerated.

Fuck Trump !!!

Fuck the Trump administration !!!

Fuck Stephen Miller !!!

[cilla4progress]

31. NAZI!

[Canoe52]

33. Wow, the kool-aid is strong in this one!

Plus his eyes, he keeps looking down and to the right, strong sign of lying.

[PlanetBev]

35. This spoiled twerp is from the Westside of Los Angeles

He started this bullshit when he was in high school, picking fights with his teachers and other students.

There was an article about him in the Los Angeles Times on January 17. I can't link to it, but it's worth a read. He reminds me of Ari Fleisher, Bush's mouthpiece.

Fascist punk.

[jalan48]

39. He let this guy go on way to long.

[jeffreyi]

64. Agree. He got to speil his fascist b.s.

George wasn't nearly hard enough on him. The guy's so-called "argument" would flunk him out of 8th grade debate class.

[The Sand Reckoner]

40. And not one person on der Fuhrer's staff has even a glimmer

of a sense of humor. They are just dead little puppets who know nothing but lies, and who know if they stop lying, their whole world will collapse like a leaky balloon.

They are all so tight that we could pay off the national debt by shoving coal up their asses and harvesting the diamonds.

[Honeycombe8]

41. Excellent interview.

Kudos to George for staying on point and not getting waylaid by all the fluff being sent out to confuse the issue. Excellent.

[JHB]

42. I suspect Alec Jones won't use this interview as proof of lizard aliens in control...

...despite it being the most convincing argument the claim is true to date.

[LakeArenal]

45. Did you notice his upper lip developing the Nixon "I'm lying through my teeth" sweat?

[concreteblue]

46. His nickname is Blinky......

Anybody who blinks that much is lying. Period. You can see him struggling to contain it, and then it just takes over......

[Stinky The Clown]

47. Gish Gallop Gish Gallop, Gallop a Gish. Give me the Dish. Gallop the Gish . . . . .

[Grammy23]

48. It's one thing to be registered to vote....

and another to actually show up TO vote. Many people die annually and then have the nerve to not take themselves off the voter rolls!

This "outrage" is pulled out by Miller (and other shills) every time voter fraud is the topic. As if zombies are coming out of the grave to cast a vote. Or more likely, people are reading the obits to figure out who they can impersonate to vote in the next election.

It just makes my blood pressure go up hearng Miller and his ilk trot out these tall tales as if they are evidence and then they have the nerve to get all haughty when pressed for evidence...not just their opinion. He had a certain...."how dare you question me or the White House?" tone.

When these jackass liars fall, I hope it is hard and fast. Enough to rattle those pearly whites right out of their lying mouths!

[kacekwl]

49. He cut off NOTHING .

This fool was allowed to repeat over and over his bullshit. Come with REAL proof or shut him off .

[oasis]

50. Miller with "PeeWee Herman" tactic, "I know you are but what am I ?"

[mfcorey1]

53. Craaaaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzy! He reminds me of some of the guys you see at

skinhead rallies.

[rgbecker]

54. Very little on Snopes about illegal registration for voting but this came up.

http://www.snopes.com/non-citizens-vote-registered-dmv/

14% of illegals are registered to vote according to academic study????
Seems this could easily be evidenced.

"it is a fact, and you will not deny it...." Nazi talk , plain and simple.

[Cracklin Charlie]

55. Kick

Saving to savor later.

[ginnyinWI]

56. ABC has the best morning show.

For nightly news I like CBS but Stephy has the Sunday morning competition beat!

[orleans]

59. i watched the entire interview

and came to the conclusion that he is a good little fucking nazi

and, i either heard him wrong or he invented a new word: STOOK

"the president stook up for a member of his family"

lol

what a little asshole this guy is.

on edit: nope -- i didn't hear wrong

STOOK
at 40 seconds on the clock

[Iggo]

71. That's street.

Just like "I stood in a motel last night."

[librechik]

87. same tense as " Trump snook into office" n/t

[wordpix]

78. "Sean Spicer, as always, is 100% correct" WTF? LIES!

[GP6971]

61. That is one scary dude n/t

[simguy225]

62. I have no doubt

that there is a lot of people registered to vote in multiple states. When you move to a new state there is a mechanism to register. Is there a mechanism to unregister? Not that I know of. Just because one is registered to vote in two states doesn't mean one does.

Oh, and we need our media to start acting like this more often.

[TexasBushwhacker]

63. Ah yes, people registered in more than one state

Like Steve Bannon, Tiffany Trump, Sean Spicer, Jared Kushner and voter fraud "expert" Gregg Phillips. Registering to vote in more than one state means you MOVED. Voting more than once in a single election is what's illegal.

And enough about the dead people registered to vote. They were alive when they registered. They just weren't removed from the voter rolls.

[murielm99]

68. It would be illegal if you moved,

voted in your new location, and then requested an absentee ballot and voted with your old address, too. I don't think it happens much. County clerks and their staffs are better than this.

All this yelling is preparatory to setting up some stringent voter suppression. We will have to be ready for it.

[TexasBushwhacker]

85. We need to make a voter registration network

Help people get picture IDs where they are required. Provide rides if they need them. Help them get the paperwork (birth certificates, etc) needed to get photo IDs.

Get deputized so you can register voters.

People to double check newly registered voters to make sure they've been added to voter rolls.

Publicize how people can check to see if they are currently registered.

Register to work at the polls. The more people are there to help people to vote (rather than deny) the better.

I know that driver networks are being put together for volunteer drivers to take women seeking abortions to their clinic appointments. We need something like that for voting rights.

[MurrayDelph]

69. I is a white supremacist

/revision/latest?cb=20150606002859

[Iggo]

74. Oh, looky! It's the master race!

[dae]

70. So that is the intellect who wrote Trumpy's Muslim Ban EO.

Is Trump going for a Guinness Record for most pricks stuffed in the WH at one time?

[BREMPRO]

75. He reminds me of the young republicans i met at college

social outcasts that make themselves important and get attention from the mainstream by making outrageous unsubstantiated claims based on RW bubble talking points and ideology, not fact, and then when confronted become being antagonistic self righteous bullies and double down or deflect with parallel arguments or ad hominem attacks to bolster their weak arguments.

that said, he was right about the Duke lacrosse players..

[perdita9]

77. I grew up in New Hampshire

Stephen Miller's claims are flat-out lies.

Only people with issues of paranoia think there's wide-spread voter fraud in the White Mountain state.

[benpollard]

79. New Hampshire needs to look into this and subpoena Stephen Miller to testify under oath

They've made this claim, over and over. Everyone who said it should be required to testify under oath and punished if they can't produce any evidence.

[Lanius]

80. So these are the types of sociopaths working behind the scenes to enact the right-wing agenda?

No wonder these types of people don't appear in front of the camera that often. Talk about soulless eyes and a complete lack of warmth or charisma.

[joshdawg]

82. My god, what a fuckin' idiot!

Voter fraud my ass!

[BannonsLiver]

84. Miller's a true believer

You can see it in his eyes. He probably dreams of one day laying his life down for Trump. What a sad sick little fuck he is.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

104. Hopefully he does that soon

[vlyons]

86. That is one scarey guy

He looks like a mafioso, and talks like one too. I instantly thought that he was channeling Goebbels.

where in the universe do they find these lying motherfuckers?

[trc]

102. George did not shut this guy down, this surrogate was allowed

to spew lie after lie after lie with loads of hearsay thrown in...and he was not called out on it. George questions this guys' facts but lets him state all his alternate facts, virtually without interruption. Keep in mind the optics for the repugs, he stated his point of view and George just said "show me," this will be a win for their base. Please msm, call these fuckers liars to their faces as they lie, don't let them off the hook like this.

[carburyme]

108. Alternative goons multiplying

Hey! But he did come prepared

Just amazing. This guy is talking to me and convincing me that all that's coming out of his mouth are truths. Unfucking believable!

It really made my blood pressure boil on a calm Sunday morning. 😒
