Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

CNN commentator Tara Setmayer sharply criticized Stephen Miller, calling him a “despicable” figure whose “own family has disowned him,” following news that he would serve as deputy chief of staff for policy in Donald Trump’s second administration.

Setmayer condemned Miller’s role in creating the family separation policy during Trump’s first term, describing him as “racist” and “xenophobic.”

She noted Miller likely couldn’t pass Senate confirmation, which is why Trump may rely on recess appointments.

Setmayer argued that voters who chose Trump also endorsed Miller’s influence and controversial policies.

There won’t be a second Hitler; this time around those with the strings of power will be careful to always have a disposable salesman in the official seat of power.

Hitler did the same

The are no written records e.g. for the Holocaust, that came from Hitler. He only gave verbal orders to people near him, which would put it onto paper and make at an order for the awaiting underlings.

Too late now, assholes. You can "torch" donvict's thugs all you like, but now they will be in power, no thanks to bothsiderist corporate right-wing friendly outlets like CNN.

She's a member of the Lincoln Project, so she's been torching him all along. CNN just gave her the opportunity to do so on their channel

I don't know why so much complaining.

The people basically elected this guy Miller. He is the essence of trump. Most people obviously want people like him to run the country.
