It gets easier and easier to envision the "Peewee German" moniker sticking forever.
The only thing I don’t like about it is that Paul Rueben’s doesn’t deserve the association
Stephen Miller is a whiny little bitch that uses a fake name, Stefan Enzio Muller. And I’m pretty sure I, a 5’4” woman who doesn’t exercise, could beat him up.
I challenged him to a fist fight. If he loses, he has to move to Venezuela. He didn’t respond to my challenge.
What a coward
Miller is like an ex-boyfriend who won’t leave, constantly gaslighting you into believing that his being a total prick is somehow your fault, and that all the abuse he dishing out is coming from a good place, while he unzips to pleasure himself once more at the video tapes hes made of children packed like farmed lobsters, thanks to his Family Separation policies.
He looks like a penis made a wish at a Zoltar machine. And is now desperately trying to fool the world into thinking hes a real person. Sunken dead eyes, that seem like they were drawn on in a hurry, that stare at you with all the warmth of a junkie youve just refused to give a dollar to. His whole plan to smash families apart like lego, part of some cunning plan to distract from the fact hes just a giant prick.
But really, you have to admire Stephen Miller’s confidence. It takes a special kind of cunt to talk about “beautifying America” with the same energy as a man polishing a gravestone while the body’s still twitching underneath. Listening to Stephen Miller talking about beauty is like listening to a serial killer giving a Ted talk about how the insides of his victims made him feel as he raped their dead bodies. Even the language itself comes out of his mouth cringing, and looking to self harm from the trauma of ever being in his brain in the first place.
Magnificent comment top to bottom, but this:

”The tragedy is a political party and a movement that has ripped down our statues, our monuments, our holidays, our heroes, our heritage.”
White supremacy dog whistle.
Columbus was a rapist and murderer. Confederate statues were erected during Jim Crow. The "heritage" of the US is one of subjugation of non-white people (a definition that has changed multiple times).
And these are his heroes.
I mean there are things in American history that are worth celebrating. But it's usually the nameless people who struggled against the ones they build statues of.
I do find the whole concept of feeling some sense of accomplishment and pride over things you personally had nothing to do with to be kind of distasteful. If you aren't living your life in a way that you can feel proud of your own actions and instead feel the need to act as if you have some ownership of things that happened before you were born then maybe that's a sign that you need to make a change.
Google Doug Stanhope's take on nationalism.
non-white people (a definition that has changed multiple times
Yeah, even the wops and micks weren't considered white for a while. There's always been someone else to blame for your situation in the US.
If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.
- Lyndon B. Johnson
Funny you mention Columbus. Remember when Italians weren't white enough to be a part of that club? Even Irish weren't white enough.
Starting to think I'm a dog. Also my ears are bleeding
Scooby dooby doo, Where are you? We got some work to do now.
muh hurruhtage
And removing these statues and monuments and holidays, and whatever don’t deny the white nationalist and racist past of our country. It just means that we no longer choose to celebrate it.

He is such a pathetic and whiny little wannabe Napoleon.
Stephen Miller could be replaced by an LLM trained entirely on angry Facebook comments.

Lil President Millie is a sad, weird, little man.

OK, do you have literally any argument for tearing down a section of the White House?
No, but also look at this made up culture war problem.
Keeping things as they were will suddenly become woke, mmw. Even though they like to call themselves conservatives.
Name one other war where the losers are celebrated as much as the First American Civil War (may as well get used to calling it that now).
This is why, when one people conquer another people, they destroy all of their art and culture and literature and history. You give them an inch and they take a mile. They lost...they can either not accept that and keep fighting, or they can assimilate, willingly or by force if necessary. Tale as old as time. Slavery was a third "option" for lack of a better word, but not after that war.
you give them an inch...
Agreed!
Fuck them.
In an appearance on Fox News’ The Will Cain Show, Miller railed against the left, which has “scarred the landscape of our country with grotesque, so-called ‘modern art’ that celebrates ugliness, that celebrates defacement.”
I don't think he has any of his own opinions, he just emulates hitler
Perhaps if we build him a bunker under the east wing, he will continue to emulate his hero.
Just put a deadbolt on the outside of the door.
And let's not forget that "modern art bad" is just more (traditional) western supremacy in a pseudointellectual trench coat.
EQUATOR had a cool interview that touched on the birth of modern art a few days ago:
Pankaj: Before the First World War, there was a shared belief that civilisation was continuously progressing, and was on its way to somewhere no human being in history had ever reached. This was a widely shared consensus, across artists, politicians, and businessmen, that was completely shattered by the First World War, triggering a search for alternative values. So many people were prompted by this implosion of European civilisation to look for values elsewhere — they went to India, to China, to Africa. Modern art, for instance, is inconceivable without that engagement with non-Western cultures and traditions.
While this is true I feel it fails to acknowledge the real history of Europe. Europe was always involved in cultural exchanges with people from other continents, albeit at a slower rate than in modern times. This idea that there is some authentic, independent, ancestral European culture that we need to return to is itself a white supremacist fabrication. So while it's good that people started to turn away from this myth, it's also necessary to acknowledge that it was always an illusion. Those traditional European arts and other cultural cornerstones were also influenced by multiple cultures.

He doesn’t need to put up a defence, they already did it. The fascists are laughing at you, Americans.
Many of the statues and monuments weren't historical. They were built by racist orgs still trying to hold on to hope for the confederacy. Which also lasted such a short time that its existence is negligible as a source of historical significance. Also, if you are that invested in art and culture, maybe be an artist instead of being a complete tool?
He's not that good an artist, better kill all the ~~Jews~~ Palestinians

I wonder if there is a statistically significant inverse correlation between artistic ability and despotic actions.
It's plausible enough that your generalized rule might be legit.
In my experience with people who claim the title 'artist' it seems a fair amount of them are arrogant and some border or were full on narcissists. This is not to be confused with artists I have known. I am addressing specifically those who go about claiming 'artist' as an identity and wielding it like a club as if calling themselves that qualifies them to be a general pest to be around.
I can understand the prevalence of these traits in 'artists' because it does take some extreme self confidence or arrogance to believe you have a unique vision that can change the world through your chosen medium. So maybe there is something to that. Frustrated that their self perceived genius is unrecognized and their talent unappreciated and not bring able to persuade others to their vision, they turn to forcing their viewpoint on others.
Just rambling, pay me no mind.

Racism is the culture they want to celebrate.
Was this the Union’s grave mistake that they allowed them to continue to live here? To enjoy the freedoms we hold dear and to share our nation with them despite their abhorrent beliefs? They will not allow us the same fate if they find themselves in a similar position.
That’s the difference between us and them.
And for this fucking monster to speak in half-truths without showing his full true self (but we all know). This is not a dog whistle so mush as a bullhorn.
Hitler waited in the wings too, right?
It increasingly seems to me that, ironically enough, the only way for tolerance to exist is for it not to allow intolerance to continue to exist.
That's the Paradox of Tolerance.
Tolerance is not a moral choice but a social contract.
The intolerant have broken that social contract and therefore are not entitled to its benefits.
Punch a Nazi.
Don’t you just want to punch that little bitch Nazi in his whiney little mouth?

Polling shows that just 33 percent of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s changes. That number drops to 24 percent when specifically asked about the demolition of the East Wing.
I bet this is the same sort of people - in some instances, maybe the exact same people, literally - that supported Nixon even after he got on the helicopter and flew away in utter shame.
I mean....who the fuck would support this? No one asked for this and the pedo-in-chief didn't get permission from anyone.
I'm completely convinced that if 0% supported what trump specifically does, 30%+ of those morons would still vote for him. Or not vote at all. Same difference.
I'm hoping the construction crew lose all licenses they may have. Whoever has been dping the work absolutely does not have the permits necessary for demolition or any of the new construction.
I love that the US is being sued and there is a request for an immediate stop to all work while the legalities are established. I'm surprised there isn't a lawsuit from an historical preservation society of one kind or another.
By "our" he doesn't mean all the US citizen. Only the Nazi ones.
