Nothing to see here. Just Trump appointing his own Joseph Goebbels as Chief of Staff. Put Stephen Miller beside the original Nazi propaganda minister and the resemblance is uncanny. If this isn't a five-alarm warning, what the fuck is?

Unfortunately, Miller is staying things even stupider than he did when he was 18! 😳

I don't endorse the guy, but it was 2003, so he was 18. I am glad no one was recording the stupid things I was saying at that age.

This is one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen in my life… Stephen Miller last night: “It is the honor of my life to be president Trump’s Chief of staff and I swear to you and I pledge to you Mr. president my absolute loyalty my unwavering commitment and my total devotion to your success and success of this country.”

In response to the election wipeout, Trump doubles down on awfulness and elevates the most repulsive Republican in America to Chief of Staff.

Presidents certainly have the right to pick their Chiefs of Staff, but selecting Stephen Miller shows that Donald Trump has learned nothing from the message Americans sent him in this election. Miller is the architect of some of the worst policies of this presidency, from the cruel and chaotic ICE enforcement to the tariffs jacking up your costs. Promoting him isn’t only bad for this Administration, it’s bad for the American people.

Today, 31 years ago, Prime Minister and former Israeli Chief of Staff Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by an Israeli Jew who opposed his efforts to build a lasting peace with the Palestinians I recall speaking to his widow Leah Rabin in London a year after his assassination. She blamed Bibi Netanyahu for inciting violence against her husband that finally led to his assassination. She even prevented Netanyahu from attending her husband’s funeral with the American President & other world leaders on the mount of olives She said to me “Netanyahu becoming Prime Minister would cause huge suffering to the people of Israel & the Palestinians & undermine Israel’s reputation & influence in the world” 30 years on how right she was

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivers a blunt message to Russia: “You cannot bomb Ukrainian cities and then send your junior players to Alberta to play hockey as if you were civilised people. No Russian or Belarusian teams at the World Junior Championship. Not under your flags. Not under any other flags. Period.”
