Raging Stephen Miller Suggests Slapping Handcuffs on Blue State Governor

Stephen Miller said that Governor J.B. Pritzker could be arrested for engaging in a “criminal conspiracy.”

When asked by Fox host Will Cain on Friday under what authority a governor could potentially be arrested, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff said that the Department of Justice “has made clear that if officials cross that line into obstruction, into criminal conspiracy against the United States or against ICE officers, then they will face justice.”

Miller’s statement comes after President Donald Trump claimed that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Pritzker should be “in jail for failing to protect ICE officers.”

On Oct. 23, the Illinois governor signed an executive order establishing the “Illinois Accountability Commission,” which will track “abuses” and hold Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents “accountable” following the Department of Homeland Security’s launch of “Operation Midway Blitz” in Chicago.

Should we just assume at this point that Stephen Miller is secretly trying to make Pritzker 2028 happen?

People will use her age and the fact that she has only held office as a house rep. to claim she's too inexperienced to become president.

Anyone who makes this claim after watching Donald Fucking Trump get elected president is full of shit.

Yeah, and anybody that thought Trump was the safer candidate in 2024 after living through 2016-2020 is also full of shit.

Outside of primary elections, I've never voted for a presidential candidate that I was actually excited to vote for, with the only exception being the very first election I voted in (Obama, who surprise, still turned out to be a politician even if he did some unquestionably good things in addition to the bad and the irresponsible while he was in office).

I voted for Hillary bc she was unquestionably the lesser of 2 evils in 2016, but I honestly wasn't all that surprised when Trump won because people can rationalize a lot of bullshit.

I would have preferred Warren or Sanders, but I voted for Biden in 2020 even though I worried he would be a one term president. I figured we were kind of shooting ourselves in the foot setting things up for whoever Republicans ran in 2024 bc I thought there was no way in hell it would be Trump.

I voted for Harris in 2024, again because she was unquestionably the lesser of 2 evils. I wasn't exactly surprised more people didn't bother to vote for the lesser of 2 evils, but I was surprised that Trump somehow managed to get enough support to win in 2024 after nearly killing us all in 2020.

Always expect everyone (politicians, voters, and the establishment) to "surprise" you with how full of shit they can rationalize being, even if a choice should be obvious. That way even if we all lose once again, at least you're prepared.

I was surprised that Trump somehow managed to get enough support to win in 2024 after nearly killing us all in 2020.

People have the memory and attention span of a gnat and Trump is [somehow] quite good at channelling voter frustrations, which have not subsided at all.
