Stephen Miller appears on CNN’s State of the Union (screen grab).
Although White House adviser Stephen Miller has quickly emerged as a fall guy for this past weekend’s chaos at major American airports, he nonetheless appeared on CBS’s This Morning to paint the Trump administration’s travel ban on seven Muslim-majority countries as a massive success.
Oh sure. Absolute chaos, people trapped in airports, crying, wondering if they will ever be able to see their families again, people trying to commit suicide out of despair, yeah, that’s success alright! Godsdamned evil fucking nazis, who call this orgy of hate a “success”. :spits: As noted in a previous thread:
So many people in this country are just fine with this evil. They can’t even manage to think for 5 fucking seconds – who in the hell wants to be a refugee? No one, that’s who. Leaving your home, uprooting your whole life, struggling, facing bias and hatred, having to start all over again? Yeah, sure, people do that sort of thing just for fucking fun.
If you’re one of the people okay with this demonstration of stupidity and cruelty, congratulations, you’re officially a fuckwit.
Miller also said that the Trump administration will, over the next month, develop screening procedures to ensure that only foreigners who “love” America are allowed into the country.
“We’re going to take the next 30 days to develop a new set of screening protocols to try and ensure that people entering our country, particularly on a permanent basis, truly love and support the United States of America,” he said. “There’ll be a 60-day period where countries will be asked to comply with the new directives. Countries that are in compliance will have regular, ordinary and routine migration with the United States.”
Oh, well that’s not Orwellian at all, no. “I do declare I love America in the most bigly, yugely way possible! I love America more than anything!” Talk about sickening. If you’re not up on your history, I suggest you do some reading, stat. Fascists and Nazis just adore this sort of disgusting bullshit. Note that little “comply” up above, too. When dictators and tyrants start tossing “comply” around…Yeah.
Miller then went on to say that the administration’s overall goal is to make sure people who are intolerant of others’ differences shouldn’t be granted entry to the United States.
“It only makes sense that we engage in some kind of selections process that prioritizes the entry of people who, as the order stated, don’t hold bigotry, hatred or violence against any sexual orientation, against any race, or against any particular class of people,” he said.
:chokes; sputter: Oh please! Christ, I can’t take this sort of shit first thing. uStates, a country founded on intolerance, hatred, greed, genocide and theft, and hasn’t gotten any better. Now we’re the country of love and tolerance? We have now surpassed Orwell, and that is no mean feat. FFS, I can’t even, I oh fuck. This godsdamned country, where hate and bigotry reign supreme, where cops murder people of colour at will, where the government is still trying to finish the genocide of Indians, where a host of stupid white people spew toxic bigotry every moment of the day, where half the states still defend fucking slavery, and the flag symbolizing it’s glories, a country where LGBTQ peoples are assaulted and murdered, and where the government tries at every turn to legislate their bigotry and hate, *deep breath* a country that is so damn stupid they still try to teach creationism, a country where half of the people are attempting to legislate all women into the untrustworthy, subhuman slut category, shoving their damn noses into our pants at every turn, vile, evil, immoral, fanatical christians who think they have the right to oppress and glory in hate, and that barely covers it.
Aaaaaaauuuuuuugh. I will be screaming in fury all damn day. Unfuckingbelievable.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA
Duly noted. Only surprised he didn’t give them twenty seconds.
Saad:
Yeah. Y’know, if you’re gonna go with that “logic”, basically, most of the white people, they have to leave, now.
Remember when “Badhdad Bob” was funny?
Now that’s what’s running the country.
They’re going to deport themselves? Where to?
But this is good news. First trip abroad they take and Trump and his cabinet aren’t getting back in.
I’d nominate the Pacific, not that it matters. They could colonise one of those floating garbage patches, it should suit them down to the ground.
SInce the garbage / plastic patches are just higher than usual concentrations of garbage / plastics, not actual floating rafts of the stuff, this means they will be treading water until eaten — then spit out as disgusting — by sharks. Hopefully they will encounter some puffer fish as well…
hmmm
maybe something could be done about that
Definitely not because the lack of solid ground is a key feature to the proposal. To paraphrase, it would work ‘very nicely’. In fact I was already a bit worried about air quality while suggesting this. It would be a shame to disrupt the local atmosphere, i.e. the stench of old rubbish and toxic algae that makes these patches such a unique and very suitable location. Nevertheless, even short-term occupancy by these windbags might harm this charming man-made ecosystem. Perhaps the EPA should do a risk-assesment. You know, after the executive order is signed because we can’t afford to overthink policy these days.
Remember the saying about lies, damned lies, and statistics? There appears to be an even greater superlative.
@ OP
Damn. Now THAT’S what “Telling it like it is” really looks like. Thanks, as always, Caine.
Czech American:
Thank you, more than I can say.
I thought the latest Keith Olbermann video catches the mood correctly. The parallels between the two family histories are worth the time he spends on them. One grandchild of an immigrant displays gratitude to both the original migrant and to the country which developed from all the immigrants together. The other one shows only entitlement for their current position, with nasty, grudging, and aggrieved embellishments, along with scorn for others who are poor enough, desperate enough, scared enough or just plain eager to join the rest of the USA in making the best of what is on offer.
