Stephen Miller issued a shocking directive to police officials in a fiery speech in Memphis.

The White House deputy chief of staff joined Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Attorney General Pam Bondi in Tennessee on Wednesday to promote Donald Trump’s so-called “Memphis Safe Task Force.”

In a rant aimed at motivating the federal law enforcement agencies operating in the state as part of Trump’s crackdown on a claimed crime wave, Miller told Memphis police officers they were now “unleashed” to fight crime by order of the president.

“We are sending in real cops with guns and badges to go out with you on the street every single night, making arrests,” Miller said. “These are people who have taken down drug cartel kingpins, the worst criminal offenders in the United States, standing with you, shoulder to shoulder to shoulder.”

1. Steven Miller only went into politics...

[Ray Bruns]

2. LOL!

https://m.

[hlthe2b]

5. Seeing that kept me from giving voice to what I really think & wish for him...

So, thanks... It bubbles just below the surface, but I don't want to give verbal or written voice to it.

[marble falls]

12. Now that's brutal. Truth hurts.

[angrychair]

18. Let's be honest

That is closer to the truth then we think it is.

[democrank]

3. Miller is extremely twisted

and….he has an enormous amount of power in this administration. That should scare almost anyone.

[OldBaldy1701E]

7. Scared? No.

Enraged to the point of considering irrationality?

Yes.

[UpInArms]

4. Wow! Is miller directing a Gaza-like attack on Memphis?

“Every resource we have, federal, state, and local, we are going to use to dismantle their [criminal] networks without apology and without mercy,” Miller said. “Everything we have, we are going to bulldoze the criminal element of this city and liberate all the law-abiding citizens in this city.”

Claiming he wanted to eliminate “any physical space, anywhere” in Memphis where a citizen didn’t feel safe, a fired-up Miller then took his impassioned rant up a notch.

“This is Memphis, this is the United States of America, and all that bulls--t is done,” Miller blasted. “It’s over, it’s finished.”

13. Wow, if he wasn't already bad enough, this is crazy bad.

I mean, way over the deep end of sadistic psychopathy.

We have some really sick sadists operating with unchecked
power in this world: Trump, Miller, Netanyahu, etc... and a
lot of equally sick businesspeople looking to profit from it.

So let's say much of Memphis gets the "Bibi" treatment..

qui bono?

[riversedge]

45. It's the 'sick businesspeople looking to profit" that is so dangerous IMHO

[Bayard]

22. Whooooo--

There's a new sheriff in town!

[exboyfil]

6. The residents already acquited cops who beat a motorist to death on camera

All the guy did was run away from a traffic stop. Really no different than George Floyd.

[Solly Mack]

8. You just know he has a burial ground somewhere for the bodies of the animals he kills.

Humans, being animals, included.

[ultralite001]

9. The ghoul, Stephen Miller, sounds like he is ready to turn Memphis

Into another Gaza Strip…

11. Nosferatu Miller

[riversedge]

44. uga uga--I want to scrub that image from my mind Quickly!!

[louis-t]

10. Deranged in the true sense of the word.

This man needs to be locked up.

[Farmer-Rick]

14. They need to get that

lightweight scrawny guy alone and see how tough he is when he's not hiding behind armed gestapo.

What a piece of shit he is. Full on Nazi traitor.

[Turbineguy]

15. He needs flying lessons

from Putin. Well, one is generally enough.

[EarthFirst]

16. We've witnessed the brutality of "real cops"

…who have been hardened with military equipment and watched ‘beat cops’ turn into militarized urban assault squads; complete with uniforms and equipment that fit the bill.

If these ‘real cops’ aren’t the solution; we’re fucked when the actual military steps in; further emboldening traditional law enforcement.

We’ve entered an extremely dark period in our history.

Stay vigilant. Be prepared.

[MadameButterfly]

17. He says there won't be a block in Memphis where a citizen has to be afraid

Yeah, except for all the innocent people afraid of being arrested without habeus corpus and sent to foreign prisons forever.
Right now that's immigrants, black and brown people.
Eventually, that would be all f us, if this were to continue.

These guys need some history lessons on why habeus corpus and police standards were instituted in the first place.
Then, if they think it can't happen to them, they need to study the French Revolution, for starters.
OK, Miller is a lost cause, but the public, and maybe some his sycophants could be educated

[Clouds Passing]

19. Stay safe Memphians 🩵

[Blue Owl]

20. In a sane country he'd be detained and institutionalized

[Rebl2]

21. I think

Miller needs to be locked up. Was he ever in the military? If so, I think he’s suffering from brain damage.

[GiqueCee]

25. No brain damage...

... he's always been this evil. There's a video from 2003 of him on a school bus no less extolling the virtues of torture and chopping off the fingers of suspects. At least one of his uncles has openly expressed his utter contempt for this malignant spawn of Satan. Remember the movie, Rosemary's Baby? Miller is proof that it actually happened.
I'm sure there are many who would gladly pay for the privilege of pissing on his grave.

[Rebl2]

30. Saw that

after I wrote this. Told my husband I would not be surprised if he didn’t kill or torture small animals as a child .

[ReRe]

33. Since he was a baby?

If he has been bad since a baby, then he should have been institutionalized in grade school. If he wasn't physically abusive, but only verbally abusive, then it's a wonder he lived thru HS. When is this society going to put purely evil individuals behind bars? One can be evil without killing someone (e.g. my stepdad).

[Grins]

23. Miller told Memphis police they were now "unleashed" ...by order of the president."

Memphis police DO NOT WORK for Trump!! Or anyone from Washington.

The mayor and police chief should remind that shriveled testicle of that fact.

[generalbetrayus]

24. I've been wondering lately if all the crazed, totally false bullshit spewing from Orange Julius Caesar's mouth

(think: "war-ravaged Portland" ) has been coming directly to him from an equally crazed Stephen Miller.

[GiqueCee]

26. Oh, I don't think...

... there can be ANY doubt about that!

[Permanut]

27. Bingo.

[sop]

36. Miller is the source, and Trump doesn't even know what's being said in his name.

During a Sunday morning phone interview with NBC White House Correspondent Yamiche Alcindor, Trump referenced a weekend conversation with Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, and he alluded to being told by Kotek that the reality in Portland is different from what’s being portrayed to him: “I spoke to the governor, she was very nice,” Trump said. “But I said, ‘Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what’s happening? My people tell me different.’ "

[Klarkashton]

28. tough talk from a cuckold .

[Botany]

29. As part of Trump's crackdown on a CLAIMED* crime wave.

* not a claimed crime wave but a bald faced lie so he can send out ICE agents and the military to
enforce his dictatorship over America by picking up people and deporting them without due process,
beat people up, and claiming that it is now a crime to have free speech and talk against America.

There is no crime wave not unless you are looking @ Trump and company.

[Evolve Dammit]

31. Head of the SS

[electric_blue68]

35. Reincarnated?!

Gah, he is such a heinious human being!
He might be worse than djt.

[Evolve Dammit]

39. I think the Nazis froze Goebells and GOP just thawed him out??

[orangecrush]

32. What do you do when an entire cabinet needs involuntary commitment

[ReRe]

34. There's a blurring here

This is NOT ICE. These individuals will be read their rights, jailed, investigated & if guilty, prosecuted. If prosecuted & found guilty, then they will be imprisoned in TN. On top of that they will probably be facing Federal charges as well.

I think TN bit off more than it can chew. If they have already arrested 53 & 20 for illegal gun charges, whew! That state is going to be busy!

[OrwellwasRight]

37. Not sure why you are confident that that people will be read their rights, etc.

In this rant, Steven Miller makes clear that people will be "exiled," that their money will be seized, that they will make up whatever charges they have to under whatever law they have. At the very end he remembers that he has to performatively give a nod to process, but he clearly doesn't mean it.

And looking at the people already killed in Chicago without due process, I think we now have evidence, not just supposition, that people won't be read their rights, investigated, and imprisoned only if found guilty. I think people will continue to be brutalized, Brownshirt style.

[ReRe]

38. I don't know.

I don't recall it being announced that all police were to behave like ICE now. Is it just the blue cities in the blue states?
Of course, Memphis is not in a blue state.

[OrwellwasRight]

41. Because police behave like this already.

Please tell me which of the following received due process?
George Floyd
Amadou Diallo
Duante Wright
Eric Garner
Michael Brown
Rodney King
Tamir Rice
Philando Castile
Breonna Taylor

In sum, Miller’s unhinged comments give cover to all law enforcement to deny due process. They create an enabling environment.

I’d also like to see footage of these local police going after the masked marauders who breaking the law under the cover of federal authority. I haven’t seen it. It seems most are only too happy to go along, blue state or not.

[ReRe]

42. I'm just having trouble

adjusting to no justice at all. Thank you for opening my eyes to the fact that there wasn't a whole hell of allot of justice before
Stupid came along.

[OrwellwasRight]

46. Well we can always hope for the best

But must be prepared for the worst.

I wish there were more police who would cross the “thin blue line” to stand up for what’s right, but policing in the U.S. has a history of brutality. I don’t subscribe to every single cop being evil, but I certainly think they all work within a systemically racist and brutal system.

And the current administration is certainly making it worse, not better.

The deputy chief of staff’s conspiratorial vision is ridiculous, but given his position in the White House, it’d be a mistake to ignore it.

Why Stephen Miller’s weird vision of a vast left-wing conspiracy matters

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/stephen-millers-weird-vision-vast-left-wing-conspiracy-matters-rcna236217

A couple of months ago, Stephen Miller, Donald Trump’s notorious deputy chief of staff, offered an unsubtle assessment of the political opposition. “The Democrat [sic] Party is not a political party,” he said in August. “It is a domestic extremist organization.”.....

On Saturday afternoon, Miller took additional steps down the same right-wing path. “The Democrat [sic] Party has filled our legal and judicial system with radicals who protect leftwing terrorists,” the White House official wrote online. “This is a very real and dire crisis for our Republican form of government.”

Less than an hour later, he kept going, publishing this related missive:

The issue before is [sic] now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat [sic] judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.

.....A day later, according to an NBC News tally, Miller used the word “insurrection” at least 12 times over the course of Monday.

“The essence of post-liberalism is the rejection of the notion that some neutral standards of conduct apply to all parties,” The Atlantic’s Jon Chait explained in his latest column. “Miller, like Trump, appears to believe his side stands for what is right and good, and his opponents stand for what is evil. Any methods used by Trump are ipso facto justified, and any methods used against him illegitimate.”

There might be a temptation to shrug this off, but that would be a mistake. There’s a growing body of evidence that suggests Miller isn’t just a hyper-partisan anti-immigration zealot, he also appears to be a leading White House official with a decision-making role related to military resources.

The deputy chief of staff’s vision of a vast left-wing conspiracy is obviously weird and fantastical, but that doesn’t mean it’s irrelevant.

[riversedge]

43. Stephen Miller's inferiority complex is what makes he so dangerous!

[Hotler]

47. When we take power again and we will, your ass is going to prison. nt
