This is almost word for word what xenophobes in the 1930s and 1940s said about Miller's Jewish ancestors and relatives. He's so hateful he couldn't possibly recognize that of course.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

The obvious question of "500 more troops to do what?" has no good answer, but many bad ones.
Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.

There's a reason one of my mentor's regular reminders was "if they don't curse when you walk in the room you're not doing your job right."
I think it’s such a perfect case study for why “access journalism” to political figures is such a crock of shit. Most people can’t spend a ton of time with people without getting to like them, or at least sympathize with them. This is obviously an extreme case, but I think it’s always dangerous
One thing about RFKuzzi is that I feel like we all need to recognize these cloying “personal” details as signs of simpering sycophancy.
When a reporter breathlessly says he was at RFK Jr’s side when he heard the Kirk news, we should think: “Oh, I get it. This reporter is a huge piece of shit.”

The media are always a lagging indicator, piling on after events threaten to overtake them. This was true in the McCarthy era, in the Vietnam era, in the Watergate era, the Iraq War era. By the time the media say something is bad and failing, the public has already turned decisively against it.
