Other than Trump, THE person most responsible for the GOP debacle these midterms, was Stephen Miller. He moved the policy off "the worst of the worst" to "whomever," he gave the word to hire ICE agents haphazardly without auditing their skill sets, he set and prioritized heavy quotas of deportations, he had a zero tolerance for empathy or humanity, he made ICE believe they were above the law, and he himself publicly lied about the Good and Pretti murders - even though they were on camera. Because of Miller, we had Hispanics flip on the GOP by the millions, and we had the rallying efforts of Minnesota galvanizing the Left. Trump started the war and levied the tariffs. Miller did the rest. Trump knows he was most to blame for the GOP debacle because of the war, tariffs, and more - and he also knows that Miller was second most to blame forthe reasons above. Here's the punch line that you're going to find hard to believe: THE FACT THAT MILLER COST THE GOP MIGHTILY IS WHY HE PROMOTED HIM TO COS. Was he trying to lose? No. Not at all. But now that he DID lose, it's the ultimate defiance of a malignant narcissist in decline, who is incurable, unable to pivot, is a black hole of malice, hates the GOP as much as Dems, and who - if he goes down, wants to make sure he's not going down alone.

Todd Blanche is making the rounds on the Sunday shows. It's fascinating stuff. Blanche's mission is to try to represent that Dems' discussions of accountability are actually "threats." He even called them "vile threats," which he got away with on Fox of course, but on CNN - Dana Bash wasn't having any of that and she shut that sh*t down. Bottom line, Blanche was defensive, looking for something to say after the drubbing that could appease his weak-kneed Lord's fear of investigation. His usual double talk became triple talk today. It's so obvious and clear he was reacting to the election wipeout. He's smart - he knows what's coming. Trying to paint oversight by Dems as "vile threats," when America has stated that Trump 2.0's blatant and over-the top degree of corruption was their #1 election issue, is hypocritical beyond belief. But he serves a sociopath who lies - and grifts - like he breathes. I'm sure Blanche already has his pardon, and I'm not legally savvy enough to suggest how to challenge corrupt pardons in the courts, which I hope we try to do. But I hope the Dems test him mightily after the lame-duck period, on the Epstein files and Kushner and Lutnick and so on. Then I hope I live to see some people disgraced, some stripped of wealth, and some experience the sound of a cell door close behind them.
