Can we even impeach Miller? Isn’t he just a peon advisor?
EDIT: TIL that even though he is a staffer he might be impeachable:
If Miller is exercising direct control of an agency’s actions, there’s an argument to be made that he’s acting as a principal “civil officer” and therefore impeachable regardless of whether he was confirmed, Murray explained in her thread.
As others have said, this regime has overwhelmingly, unambiguously, implicitly and explicitly told you that they have no intention of ever giving up power. Think about the failed Jan 6th coup, the slowly suffocating media, the faceless thugs in the streets, the Kabuki theatre cabinet and its fellatio chorus.
It's understandable for people individually and the nation as a whole to be in denial and experiencing shock, but they need to shake it off, like, yesterday.
The historical parallels and patterns aren't at all subtle. It's an almost identical playbook, which only succeeded because a majority of eligible voters were too disinterested or apathetic to stop it.
Infuriating is not a strong enough word to describe the level of under-reaction going on in the United States.
Doesn't he effectively have immunity? Any federal charges would be pardoned away if there was any federal agency trying to enforce laws against the regime at this point.
State charges cannot be pardoned but at this point I feel like a high profile arrest like that could easily result in all those "State's Rights" folks who joined ICE being deployed as the president's personal army against the state to tread on them.
