"Tonight, Trump sent an unmistakable signal that he is prepared to do battle with the Democratic congress by ousting Susie Wiles and replacing her with Stephen Miller . Miller is the combative architect of the ICE immigration raids, invading blue cites and mass deportations, and directing the military to bomb boats in the Caribbean." - Jonathan Karl, from ABC News Friday night.
Those of us with more than air between the ears always knew that when Dotard said he was willing to work with the Dem congress (after the shellacking he took Nov. 3rd) it was bollocks. Similar to when he said he would 'change his tone' after taking a would-be assassin's bullet in the ear back in 2024. Did he do so? No way in hell, see e.g.
The reason is that his walking orange offal is a degenerate, decomposing, depraved traitor who will always believe himself above all human laws. Especially after the Roberts court - as Jamie Raskin noted on All In Friday - "granted him immunity for any crimes committed in office." So, of course that includes picking other criminals and traitors to do his bidding. Reinforced when Miller blurted Friday night on FOX:
"The mission now is more clear than ever. It's to fight with all our soul to defend our president and defend his magnificent republic."
Of course, the last words should read: "magnificent criminal regime".
Running a de facto dictatorship is definitely alien to any republic, especially when the word is uttered by a scumball like Miller. As Hakeem Jeffries put it:
"Stephen Miller is a dangerous xenophobe and a reckless extremist who has American blood on his hands."
The shitbag demented Trump actually confirmed the worst suspicions of pundits that he was giving a "middle finger to the electorate". This, when he appointed Miller as his WH consigliere than raged that he wanted Dems "imprisoned" for wanting to hold him accountable. So this lunatic traitor still thinks he's going to run around unchecked. In the meantime, Dems have to be aware of what he has planned in the nearly two months before they are seated on Jan. 3rd. According to The Wall Street Journal ('Trump Faces New Reality', Nov. 6, p.A1):
"Aides including Stephen Miller and Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought, have already been planning executive orders that Trump can issue quickly in key areas including immigration. trade, housing and reducing the federal workforce. Trump also plans to continue exerting enormous influence over the Justice Department, which he uses to target political opponents."
Clearly, this demented turkey hasn't learned a damned thing from the Nov. 3rd election, and even Thom Tillis (R, NC) asserted after the Miller elevation that "this was the wrong signal to send." But see, the upstart criminal renegades simply don't care. With the DOJ working for them, they totally believe they are beyond any challenge or accountability. Well, we will see as this unfolds and these lunatics test the limits of their power against a determined, massive election blue wave flotilla soon coming into D.C.
But no one should get too overtaken by fantasies and believe the political landscape will now suddenly be healed and bipartisanship renewed. Trump's elevation of architect of hate Stephen Miller to the status of literal 'co-president' (in terms of his power) pretty much ensures we're in for more partisan nastiness, dysfunction and division until (hopefully) 2028 finally rids us of Trump's toxic presence - and the GOP stabilizes as a political party as opposed to a personality cult.
In the meantime, how and when the Dem congress wields its power - and whether it can enforce that power- will determine if we still have any kind of democracy by the Spring of 2027. The plea to "prioritize people over investigations" is noble to be sure, but we can't allow Trump's lawless renegades to break down whatever remaining barriers there are to the nation's stability.
The rest of the world remains distrustful that even one momentous election result will release it from the maw of Trump's derangement and depravity. I.e. 'World Struggling To Trust U.S. After Midterm Results', Associated Press, noting:
"Interviews by the Associated Press around the world revealed a sense that 'one election alone does not restore anything. We have to see what they actually do in terms of gaining at least a little trust back.' That 77 million Americans voted to elect Trump to a second term - along with Trump's combative tariff war, enabling Israel's conduct in Gaza, cruel immigration policies and starting a war in Iran - had already shaken trust around the world."
In other words, all of these need to be rectified, and that's only possible by checking Trump's power - which may also require targeted investigations.

Excerpt:
Republicans called
for President Trump to scale back the policies many blamed for their midterm
blowout. Mr. Trump ruminated about deals with Democrats.
Stephen Miller was unfazed.
A day after the elections, as votes were still being counted
and the Democrats’ victory margin seemed to increase by the hour, the longtime
Trump aide and MAGA stalwart convened one of his regular calls with national
security officials to get an update on immigration policy.
There was no talk of the results of the midterms or
suggestion of scaling back the hard-line immigration approach that contributed
to Republicans’ steep losses, according to people with knowledge of the call,
who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a private discussion.
Instead, Mr. Miller continued to push the officials to carry out an agenda that
has in the past year included ramping up
deportations, driving down border
crossings and removing immigrants to faraway
nations they were not from.
In other words, the architect of some of the
administration’s most divisive policies demonstrated that he would
aggressively pursue more of the agenda that many voters rejected on Tuesday.
Now, after being named Friday as White House chief of staff, Mr. Miller is poised to help oversee what is likely to be a combative final two years of Mr. Trump’s term. And as Democrats vow to investigate the very policies that Mr. Miller helped devise, Mr. Miller, the ultimate Trump loyalist, is in a prime position to continue his longtime pursuit of limiting checks on executive power.
Democrats on Friday indicated that, as they prepare to
scrutinize the White House, Mr. Miller himself is squarely in their sights.
Representative Robert Garcia, who is set to lead the House Oversight Committee,
called Mr. Miller the “architect of the unconstitutional ICE raids that have
terrorized our communities.”

President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he would be turning a new page with a new chief of staff in the White House for the new Democratic Congress. Susie Wiles is out and Stephen Miller is in.
"I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, and one of my most trusted advisors, will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026. Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation. I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff — She has done a great job!" Trump wrote online before signing his name.
If Democrats thought there was a chance of bipartisanship and working together with the White House, Miller will make that very difficult.

In Elevating Stephen Miller, Trump Doubles Down on Hard-Line Agenda - The New York Times
Excerpt:He said he would work with Democrats, claiming as he has
over the years that he could forge a deal with them on immigration, perhaps the
most polarizing domestic issue of his second term.
But near the week’s end, instead of ceding to the clear
evidence of voter displeasure, Mr. Trump pivoted to a familiar move: more MAGA.
On Friday, the president ousted his onetime close adviser,
Susie Wiles, from the role of White House chief of staff, replacing her with
Stephen Miller, his deputy chief of staff. More than any other top adviser, Mr.
Miller encouraged an aggressive flexing of executive power when Mr. Trump
returned to office.
Mr. Miller has been the driver of the president’s most
muscular actions, including the use of increasingly hostile tactics to capture
immigrants across the country and the bombing of small boats in the Caribbean
Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean that he and Mr. Trump declared constituted a
foreign invasion.
The president’s choice sent a clear signal about the posture
he intends to strike in his final two years in office and how little he intends
to alter his approach in response to the most
decisive political rout in half a century. He also put on center stage a
figure who had already been a galvanizing target for Democrats intent on using
their new powers in Congress to check the administration.

— from Robert Reich's Substack
Friends,
Anyone wondering how Trump will respond to the biggest repudiation a modern U.S. president has ever received from American voters need wonder no longer. Today, Trump announced that Stephen Miller would become his chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles.
In a Truth Social post, Trump called Miller one of his “most trusted” advisers and said he would be starting in the new role Monday.
Miller as chief of staff is not a positive development for anyone interested in mending our government or healing our nation.
As Trump’s attention recedes into his vanity projects — the ballroom, the arch, the heliport, the golf links, the gold-leaf makeovers — Miller is likely to become de facto president, manipulating an increasingly incoherent and cognitively impaired old man.
