White House advisor Stephen Miller is an idjit

Several examples: This is the weasel who appeared on Fox News Sunday today and said the following: The United States of America has a terrorism problem. We’ve had hundreds cases of foreign national entering our country from other countries and plotting, attempting, or even carrying out terrorist attacks. We’ve spent countless dollars a year, and …

Instead there was obstruction from the House and Senate from the very day he was inaugurated. There were millions of sneering remarks about the new President and his legitimacy, many of which …

Can this really be true?

Can 50 million of my fellow Americans be so enraged at their economic situation, at ethnic minorities, and at their elected representatives (most of whom they re-elected tonight) that they voted for the least qualified and least decent candidate in our 230-year history? The analysis of these results is going to be fascinating. I can …
