    Anyone else find Stephen Miller's borderline threat on Face the Nation somewhat disturbing? I half expected him to end that sentence with "or else ..."

    This is worth watching, not just because it is on "Trump vs. the Truth", a topic with a lot of comedy to mine. John Oliver has found a creative new way to troll Trump. It also includes the most succinct description I've heard of what it is like to listen to him use words seriously but not literally. "This is what makes covering Donald Trump so difficult. What does he mean when he says words?" (Quote from a reporter covering Trump)

    I doubt Stephen Miller will see Christmas in the White House. Along with several others in that cookie cabinet.

    Was eating a "free" breakfast in a hotel when that was on yesterday (I don't watch Sunday morning news shows). Why anyone watches that nonsense is beyond me.

    Stephen Miller is something else. What an interesting mix of nervous youthfulness, faux authoritarianism and smarmy pieceofshittedness.

    Those shifty peepers as he tried to keep up with his talking points were a real bonus.

    The Sunday news shows in general, or the President's advisors specifically?

    This guy makes Kellyanne look warm, informative, and human. He was on FtN, MtP, and This Week, and I got sooo sick of his smarmy crap. At least George Stephanopoulous called him out on his bullshit re voter fraud. "You can start by providing evidence to back up your claims" did my heart good.

    Yes to the first, and yes to the second if you change "the President's advisors" to "any President's advisors" ... it's theater, and if I'm going to watch theater, the cast better be way the hell more attractive.

    If the NSA is doing that (which makes sense), why would anyone admit they are doing that?

    Jesus, what a giant douche Miller is.

    Did Trump specifically ask for someone worse than Kellyanne?

    See, that's the thing ... if Conway, Spicer, et al, get run off from the White House inner circle, there's no guarantee the replacement won't be worse/more dangerously incompetent.

    I wish Sebastian Gorka got more play outside of being a frequent NPR guest. The accent, the stubbornness, the spin. He's the perfect Trump surrogate to crawl under just about everyone's skin.

    Example:
