This is Stephen Miller’s (White House Deputy Chief) response to Karen Bass (Los Angeles Mayor).
The “states’ rights” crowd is not very supportive of states’ right, right now.
They never were. It was always cover to do awful shit like overturn Roe.
“States’ rights” has always been a bullshit lie. The confederacy did not honor states rights. The constitution explicitly instituted slavery as an institution an individual state could not abolish.
States’ rights to abuse its citizens, no states’ rights to protect any of them.
Little punk sure talks big when you can’t reach his little pencil neck. If federal law was as supreme as he plays up, him and his entire bunch would be behind bars right now
Easy to sound like a big man when you’re shouting from behind a few hundred marines.
But that’s sort of the crux of the issue. Miller has the Miller-tary at his beck and call while Mayor Bass will be lucky if half her LAPD don’t turn and open fire on her because they say they smelled weed. The folks with the guns seem absolutely gleeful in stomping their boots on the necks of LA residents.
Unfortunately yeah
It wouldn’t surprise me if Miller was one of those “Skinny guys [that] fight 'til they’re burger.”
I thought he might have been the source of Elmu’s black eye for a while.
Maybe. All I’ve seen him do though bitch andnmoan and threaten with is mouth
hold on, this is from the “states rights” lot, right?
Smeagol lied.
I think Miller is more a mix of Joseph Goebbels and Wormtongue, both sycophants seeking to advance on the backs of others.
Smeagol was basically a good guy until he was enchanted by evil. Miller brings evil with him.
I think of Miller as more like Himmler, which is why I call him PeeWee Himmler. Bannon is more analogous to Goebbels.
Goebbels was on the propaganda side, while Himmler was on the Final Solution side.
I’m shocked! Shocked! I can’t believe that Smeagol would lie about anything.
JRR Tolkien had smeagol a chance at redemption, but Sam blew it. There’s a yt video about it, if anyone cares to look.
States rights are only for conservative states. Blue states don’t have any rights. Everybody knows that.
I bet a few red states are in for a surprise.
I would expect nothing less from a literal nazi.
States rights…to own slaves. Individual rights…to extract profit. Divine Federal right to smash dissent.
I need this on a shirt
States rights! Until I see anything I DONT LIKE, then unlimited power federal government!
Stop paying taxes. Let miller figure out how he’s gonna pay the military to keep up this supreme leader bullshit.
How?
Federal taxes don’t pass through California on the way to the feds.
Where are all the right wing states rights mouthbreathers now?
They’re the ones firing rubber bullets at news reporters.
Grima Wormtongue-ass mfer.
That’s a weird way to spell “heil Trump”.
Steven Miller has got to be high on the list of most punchable faces
That’s Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller to his friends.
Great Value Goebbels.
Face most replaceable with an ash tray.
He actually overshadows Aijit Pai by a planetary scale.
What a shithead, we’ve fought rebellions in this country over goddamn stamps and whiskey, and they really imagine material conditions are good enough that this sort of behavior will be tolerated amidst their ill advised trade war?
Yeah, the last time a rebellion happened, it was to reinstate full blown fascism, and what few concessions were pissed away because we got too comfortable, and when that wore off everyone was too soft to venture anything, with a few notable exceptions.
You mean to tell me that we’re supposed to take advice from a guy who can’t even grow his own hair?
No, Stephen, it isn’t. Fuck off and die.
Wrong argument: he’s literally citing the supremacy clause.
A better argument would be that same constitution prohibits violation of limits on federal power, especially the bill of rights, enumerated powers, judicial review.
Let me be devil’s advocate here for a sec.
Yes it is. Unless a federal law breaks any federal law, international laws, treaties or human rights its latterly the highest level of law in a democratic country in this modern world.(And also, i agree with the major. If your community thrives or immigrants fills gaps in the community then fucking let them. Your community is better for it)
Federal law in USA is supposed to cover mostly commerce and interstate matters (and enforcement of constitutional rights) and what the states allow the federal government to manage. The federal gov is created as a contract between the states and a delegation of power from them.
So no. It’s kinda unusual in that way too, compared to other countries formed from multiple states.
Suppose and what is in its power is a different thing. Imo federal law, just like eu law, should be law that all members must implement but should only be made for the better of the population as a whole, no matter their origins, social status, living status or whatever. Humanity goes first (oh no! Socialism aaaahhhh!! /s). One could say that those laws are interstate matters btw :p
But has usa really been setup for federal level laws to mean… Nothing for the states and its people…?
It’s not doing well in the EU either.
The feds are breaking the law but my compatriots by and large have given them a pass.
Thank you for taking one for the team.
Fortunately, there already are quite a lot of laws limiting federal power, so maybe stop agreeing with the fascists as they rewrite reality by fiat
Maybe you should read what i said. I was playing devil’s advocate to make people think about the other side, thats what that means.
And i dont bloody agree with facists, seriously
It’s somewhat hyperbolic to say a lot on the right are actual nazis, but this dude is the most neo-Nazi motherfucker and deserves everything that should come to Nazis.
“federal law is supreme.” Is some supervillain shit. Even Hitler would have cringed.
Miller is a known white supremacist and hardcore Nazi
I know. But even then, that is so over the top.
Miller is what caused the “Uncanny Valley” phenomenon in early humans. He’s what prowled in the dark that looked human but wasn’t. And for long enough to warrant an evolutionary response.
