ICE is broke, Trump’s mass deportation plan is in chaos, and Stephen Miller’s obsession is driving America into moral ruin and fiscal collapse—all for show.
Yes, Russell Vought is now the head of DOGE (whatever that is, exactly), but at least on Substack plenty of people seem convinced that he's actually running the show. Where is this conviction / rumor / hunch coming from? Would someone please post a reasonably credible source (or two, or three) on what Vought is actually doing and what influence he has?
All you have to do is research his name, and you will find a lot of credible articles. He is absolutely the head of the snake and the architect of 2025.
You wrote, "There’s a word for this: madness. Fiscal madness. Moral madness. And political madness. But that’s the Trump doctrine in a nutshell: bankrupt the nation in pursuit of a grudge."
The grudge is against the American people who denied him his second term in 2020. "I am your retribution" has always had two meanings. One, I'll help you get even. Two, I'll get even with you. Trump is destroying the country because he wants to destroy the country that denied him his second term. It's that simple. God help us all.
Jeff Lazar. “The grudge is against the American people who denied him his second term in 2020.” “Trump is destroying the country because he wants to destroy the country that denied him his second term. It's that simple.”
I totally agree. I have mentioned this before. Now his grudge will grow because of the lack of attendance at his birthday party. All my support from a Canadian. 💪 🌼
Even if "Eye for eye, Tooth for tooth' were actually behind his corruption, he wants every eye and every tooth from everyone - his greed is like the slimiest ooze that shows up in sci-fi low budget films.
100% on target! I've been saying this all along. In his sick twisted little itty bitty mind he's like a child that was told NO we don't want you as President. And now he's throwing a tantrum! He hates being told no and we were warned that he would seek revenge on ALL of the American people, MAGA included. He hates the MAGAs because he feels they are below him...he just tolerates them for their votes and their money. Except in October of 2024 he started telling people , "I don't need your votes, I have plenty of votes", that's because Elon and Putin rigged the election. He is such a pathetic LOSER!
Yes, call or email them every day. The BBB has specific provisions about funding ICE, the senate could, if it wanted, strip those provisions before it every goes back to the house.
ICE is in Champaign-Urbana Illinois today. A college town of about 200,000 souls. Art and music and science and hippies. But the cities (twin) are blue, as is the county. We won’t stand for it. Pritzker needs to order them UNMASKED NOW!
For what it's worth, I don't believe trump is smart enough to cause this much chaos. I fear jdvance assuming power using the 25th amendment and choosing steven Miller as VP. THAT is a more scary scenario that what we presently have.Just food for thought - how do we prevent this?
"after months of fire-breathing ... he’s quietly issued a reprieve for undocumented workers in industries his hotels and donors depend on: agriculture and hospitality"
I think that policy has already been walked back, so agriculture and hospitality are on the chopping block again?
Of course he did. Can you imagine him picking his own vegetables ( unless it's on a McDonalds burger, I doubt healthy food ever passed his gums ), or killing and parting Cows himselft ( I'm more than sure Noem would have no problem with that), standing in line to buy their own groceries, or wash the floors themselves in their bathrooms ( not to mention making his own bed ). He needs slaves to work for a lower hourly wage. He has found ( it has only taken him a lifetime to realize that ) a reason for keeping them around, which a child could understand, but find no validity to keeping such workers to a lower social status.
Stephen Miller is just plain evil. He has no soul. I don't understand how someone can be so full of hate. It's almost certain that Trump will find more money for ICE no matter where it comes from. Nothing about these raids makes any sense.
Outstanding Rant, Michael. Excellent Points All. It still boggles my mind that you were,at one time, this Goon's right hand Man. I'm so grateful for your Hard work, and will reStack ASAP 🙏💯👍
Peter Theil's Palentier ICE software and other military contracts and to break the US has long been the plan from what I know dear Michael. I recommend Gil Duran's blog nerdreich and his interview with Heather Cox Richardson. The Broliarchs are buying South American countries. For me as Robert Reich says the system must change.
Miller may be directing the performance but Russell Vought and that whole cast of characters are the writers
Russell Vought is the head of the snake. Everybody knows that you have to separate the head from the body to get rid of a snake.

Just one of many articles you can easily find.

Exactly, his philosophy is the foundation of the end game.

Trump is bat shit crazy. See his performance at G7? WTH will it take for a little sanity?
Removal of the tRump regime
That includes family members and all complicit in his regime!!!!
He never looked so out of place than in that moment. More than 'unsafe at any speed' (thank you Ralph Nader), he is 'unfit for any job.'
Heavy sedation is my guess.
Hey Patris! Long time no see!

It's all about $$$$ he does not give a crap about anything else. This ice BS is 100% miller
And he’s likely already taken over JDvance’s brain by a few compliments and ‘Holy Marys’. You know, since Vance is such a strong catholic.
This is so sick but I think you’re right.

200% Agree 👍 with it all....
Pretty much!! (Toronto)
I believe we all should be calling our congressmen and telling them NOT to fund ICE until they quit disappearing people and STOP THE CRUELTY!
WE DONT NEED ICE. We need homeland security that actually deports CRIMINALS!
I agree!!!
Yes, call or email them every day. The BBB has specific provisions about funding ICE, the senate could, if it wanted, strip those provisions before it every goes back to the house.

I do, but even better is to Get Out and PROTEST until we can Vote all the Slime Out.....

Pritzker rocks!
We don't need ICE. Never have, Never will.

I think Miller is already running the country. We may need to suffer through JD Vance if it means getting rid of Trump. We’ll beat him, too.
I fear it will be even worse than the orange moron.
They can actually impeach the whole administration. It is in the Constitution.
In that case, we will need a Blue Tsunami in '26!
Well, thanks for that dreadful, possible scenario. 😳
JD scares me, but throw in Miller as VP? Holy F*CK!
From a Canadian friend, all the support we can offer. RESIST!! 💪🌼
Another well-written piece, Micheal.
"after months of fire-breathing ... he’s quietly issued a reprieve for undocumented workers in industries his hotels and donors depend on: agriculture and hospitality"

President Miller wouldn’t allow the walk back.
Meaning … the original walk back by Trump. Hard to keep TACO actions straight, so I wanted to clarify!

Oh yeah. For now, anyway.
Stephen Miller is just plain evil. He has no soul. I don't understand how someone can be so full of hate. It's almost certain that Trump will find more money for ICE no matter where it comes from. Nothing about these raids makes any sense.
Voldemort has got to go.
According to college classmates of Miller, he was a student of everything Nazi. Surprise!
Outstanding Rant, Michael. Excellent Points All. It still boggles my mind that you were,at one time, this Goon's right hand Man. I'm so grateful for your Hard work, and will reStack ASAP 🙏💯👍
President Miller is running this country. Trump needs to hear that. Daily.
ICE deserves to go bankrupt, and so do the MAGA oligarchs!
Stephen Miller reminds me of the festering troll whispering in king theodens ear in LOTR with the dark one in ultimate control.

On that I do rejoice!!!
