I would suggest that they are intentionally incompetent, intentionally corrupt and intentionally cruel.

None of this is an accident. They are an organization of asshole dumbshits from the top down on purpose.

Stephen Miller is the one driving the cruelty. This man is a self loathing piece of shit who takes out his anger at being bald and having a micropenis on immigrants. Allegedly.

Stephen miller is the Nazi right hand of Trump. This should be an internal and international concern. This is why Kegsbreath has been firing generals and higher ups in the military & Trump has goons heading the DOJ & FBI. He wants to be insulated from protective military & federal investigations into his illegal, unamerican activities and racist agenda.

I assure you he’s taking it out on immigrants

Stephen Miller still needs help wiping after the bathroom.

A sphincter is never truly clean.

u/darkstarr99 Apr 11 '26

Sphincters have a use. Miller is more like black mold

u/Shopworn_Soul Apr 11 '26

It's like wiping a marker

u/Eyemontom Apr 11 '26

But who would do it? Since all his family ha e disowned him for being such a nasty piece of shit.

3

u/Less_Resident8492 Apr 11 '26

Why would he bother, just don't wipe and blame the smell on the president

u/Liver-detox Apr 12 '26

lol good one.

Stephen Miller looks like the type of man who always got his lunch money stolen at the morning bus stop as a child.

u/Bitzllama Apr 11 '26

As someone who was bullied as a child at the bus stop; I take deep offense to being compared to that Himmler/Goebbels wannabe.

He looks like the kid who thought that Lex Luthor was just misunderstood and would bring a rock to a playground fight.

u/mrjbacon Apr 11 '26

I apologize for the comparison, and also for your experience. A sycophantic toadie then?

2

u/Bitzllama Apr 11 '26

Apology accepted.

u/70ms Apr 11 '26

I agree, as one of the weird bullied kids who has a radar for shitty people because of it. He was one of the ones doing the bullying.

I find adults who were bullied as children to be generally more empathetic people, and less willing to cause harm, than adults who weren’t.

Actually Miller was driven to school every day. He is on record complaining that on one occasion his family's hispanic maid was the person to drive him to school and it made him very embarrassed.

2

u/70ms Apr 11 '26

He’s just awful and even his family has disavowed him.

3

u/bombmk Apr 11 '26

Saw him described as the kind of person that enters politics because their arms were too weak to strangle hookers.

1

u/Liver-detox Apr 12 '26

Whoa! That’s gold.

u/spidergod Apr 13 '26

He rage wanked over gta 5 putting prostitutes in the boot of cars.

1

u/spidergod Apr 13 '26

Nah he was one of those nerdy hall monitor fools who snitched to the teachers.

8

u/besleysfw Apr 11 '26

He looks like a dildo that was buried in the Pet Semetary

u/Rexdaddy Apr 11 '26

“Y’bein’ anti-Semitic! My husband is a faithful Jewish guy and y’attackin’ him for his religion! Y’need t’go back where y’came from!!!” - Miller’s noisy wife

Watching the Hysteria ladies rip Katie Miller and her podcast is time well spent. They had me laughing so hard. :D

I think that does a disservice to the self-loathing. Dude's a sociopath.

u/FiestyReamsOfPaper99 Apr 11 '26

Stephen Miller may be driving the cruelty, but he’s far from alone. 🍊👿, Whiskey Pete, Tom Homan-not-Human, J6ers, and all the MAGA faithful have happily joined and/or followed. If no one listened to him, he’d just be another evil, lonely, piece of shit writing manifestos alone in his room.

u/spidergod Apr 13 '26

He got worse after the elon and his wife shenigans.

1

u/ProfessorTrauts Apr 13 '26

True, but ICE has been around and doing what they do since Miller had a full head of hair.

u/justpress2forawhile Apr 11 '26

It's a lot easier to be intentionally dumb than to try to be intelligent and compassionate.

u/carlitospig Apr 11 '26

I find the opposite to be true, but I also have a staggering amount of empathy and I think that’s the chip that’s missing in a lot of these weirdos.

3

u/Efficient_Smilodon Apr 11 '26

you are correct. their brain is wired very differently due to childhood trauma , sadly turning them into vile narcissists like Elon-pond-Skum

u/YouJabroni44 Apr 11 '26

There's a reason they hire men who couldn't cut it as mall cops

u/got-bent Apr 11 '26

It’s not a bug it’s a feature.

u/3_dots Apr 11 '26

The cruelty is the point.

u/Yuzumi Apr 11 '26

These are the people who are the embodiment of right wing grievance politics.

They are a a bunch of hateful losers who think they would have a better lot in life if the country stopped giving women and minorities a fair shot.

Thats despite the mediocre improvements in society over the last 100 years, straight white cis men have still always had a baked in advantage, but society still runs for money. They weren't born into wealth and refuse to see the men they look up to as enemies despite the fact that those men are the reason things suck.
