Stephen Miller Doubles Down on Trump's Promise to Shutdown the Government

Source: Mother Jones

Top White House aide Stephen Miller made a combative Face the Nation appearance on Sunday, doubling down on President Donald Trump’s promise to shut down the government if Democrats don’t approve funding for a wall spanning the United States’s 1,933-mile border with Mexico in the next week.

“Absolutely,” Miller affirmed when asked if a government shutdown was on the table.

I wish the MSM would explain how it is literally impossible to build it as Trump wants it. And how he is just using it as a political talking point. He actually admitted it to the former Mexican President on the phone.

No presidential travel by car, helicopter, AF1, or secret service coverage. Send all the WH staff home and make Donnie fetch his own diet cokes and KFC.

He shuts it down, he should do nothing but sit in the White House. No travel, no golfing.

Life in their eyes whom I’ve ever come across.

I’ve seen dead people with more lights on. It’s bizarre, and I don’t know how the physical sign of their complete self-absorption is manifested, but it is.

Both of them evidently believe that the smallest benefit to them is worth any suffering experienced by others.

May they heal.

... because it's only a partial shutdown. Social Security checks will still be sent (or the electronic equivalent) - sad.

I could not hear a word he said. The guy is a pathetic joke made rediculous by his Chia Pet Head.

finally saw a clip of his performance today. He was deplorable as always - but his head was distracting. I don't normally notice or comment. But what ever was on his bald head - didn't match his hair - and was very distracting. The color and texture is so off - one is struck wondering - "what is that?" rather than listening to the deplorable things coming out of his mouth. But maybe that was the point?

That hair was distracting. Somebody did a close up in his head, and it looks like they dipped him in glue and dabbed him in graphite. Then they did a split screen of his hair recently and his hair this morning. Either he's taking UberRogain or they sprayed something on his head. The difference is day and night.

But if that distracted anyone from listening to him, they should consider themselves the better for it. All he did was talk over the woman, steamroll her, refuse to answer her questions straight on and in general screech and sneer as only he can. He was especially full off himself when discussing the little girl who died while in custody.

But then, you must remember that he is playing to an audience of Individual One.

Tapper's last words to him being "This is why they won't
let you on TV".
He has one of the most hideous public personas I've ever seen.

He's had a low, to nonexistent, media profile since.

It works as a small mercy for the public, but I wish he'd get more media scrutiny, as he seems a dark, disturbing individual.
