(182,803 posts)Yes he was a warm up for Trump rallies and he was on Sessions staff. Well known on Capital Hill.
I hadn't seen him. Yikes.

(60,010 posts)Millers talent for combining operational zeal with the ability to effectively frame an idea into one devastating laser beam made him a prized Sessions lieutenant in Washington.
When it comes to issues and messaging and policy, there isnt anybody else that Ive known that would be as valuable to a presidential campaign as he, Sessions told me. Maybe other than Karl Rove.

(182,803 posts)Several background articles,were posted on this douchebag today.
I think his appearances today were meant as a show of strength by Trump. Yes they are really that clueless. He doesn't pass the "guy test" as in if I'm around my buddies someone is bound to say "Who the F is THIS guy?" Or "Look at this Fing guy!" Either one turns the whole group against the subject.
He looks automated.

(1,258 posts)Has some type of quality,that is childish,arrogant,narcissistic and others that represent him as a person.

(60,010 posts)According to all reports, he is actually very smart, and worse yet, very motivated.
Bannon's buddy, ya know.
Dead serious in what he says, and that is rather chilling.

(60,010 posts)He was very involved with the US Attorney General issue here in Ala. and I am sure with Don Sieglman's arrest.
Rove is clever as hell and I would have loved to have him on the Dem's side of the yard, without his dirty tricks, of course.

(23,314 posts)It's easy to get wrapped up in their distraction de jour. We can't ever take our eyes off the ball. Ever. There's always going to be some kind of outrageousness happening that can make us forget what is going on behind the scenes.

(4,395 posts)who grew up in an internet echo chamber full of people who don't challenge him on his ideas or who can be shouted down by just repeating the same thing until they get bored and move on.
He is obviously in over his head, like the rest of the Trump administration. The 150 million Americans he thinks he can just ignore are not going to get bored and move on when their lives, their livelihoods and their kids futures are at stake.

Apparently the idea of checks and balances is not permissible in Trumpworld.

(31,261 posts)If that Miller guy thinks that was ok, how can he now say Trump has ultimate power? It will be interesting to see how Ryan and McConnell react to statements like that.
JCinNYC
(366 posts)me thinks that this young douche-nozzle has watched one too many stars wars episodes repeatedly as his phrasing sound like something straight out of the new order / empire scripts
Will not be questioned? Who says that?
gratuitous
(82,849 posts)While that kind of thing might fly on a sovereign citizen website, the notions that the executive isn't to be questioned and his orders aren't reviewable don't have any basis in the Constitution, case law, custom, or fact. Oddly enough, the latest edition of Nazis were laying the groundwork for this argument during the Obama administration with their constant puling about the president taking away their precious, precious guns by way of executive order.
President Trump's argument lost 3-0, in case anyone's keeping score.
