Stephen Miller to Have 'Vast' Power
By: Mediaite
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
The New York Times' Maggie Haberman reported that Stephen Miller, the newly reintroduced advisor set to serve as President-elect Donald Trump's deputy chief of staff for policy, will have a "vast" portfolio that will likely "far exceed" his title on Monday.
Haberman teased her story with colleague Jonathan Swan on X, formerly Twitter, by noting that his new position "undersells how much power he is expected to have." She and Swan went on to report that "Stephen Miller, an immigration hard-liner and adviser to President-elect Donald J. Trump, is taking over policy planning for the transition and is expected to be named deputy chief of staff in the incoming administration, according to people briefed on the matter."
They continued:
It remains to be seen how broad Mr. Miller's portfolio will be, but it is expected to be vast and to far exceed what the eventual title will convey, according to the people briefed on the matter.
A Trump spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Mr. Miller also did not respond to a message seeking comment.
Mr. Miller's views are favored by Mr. Trump's hard-line base. Vice President-elect JD Vance and Donald Trump Jr., who has been influential in the transition, praised the prospective choice on X, the website formerly known as Twitter.
As a senior advisor to Trump during his first administration, Miller pushed the president to adopt a number of policies favored by immigration hawks, including the travel ban implemented in 2017, as well as the separation of children from their parents at the southern border.

There's some of the evil behind the traitor trump.

Trump Hands Over Immense Power to White Nationalist Stephen Miller
Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling 3-4 minutes 11/11/2024
A former Trump staffer and renowned nativist is about to make a comeback at the top of Donald Trump’s policy machine.
In the coming days, Trump is expected to announce the appointment of Stephen Miller to serve as White House deputy chief of staff for policy, reported CNN .
Miller previously served as the senior adviser for policy and White House director of speechwriting under Trump’s first term, and his appointment comes as little surprise: The 39-year-old was expected—since at least the beginning of the year—to reenter the West Wing as the leading expert on “America First” immigration policy.
The far-right politico has made a name for himself for his vicious anti-immigrant policies , which include proposals to build mass deportation camps and deploy the military and the national guard to seal the border, promising a forthcoming reality of “large-scale raids” and “throughput facilities.”
He’s long been seen as one of the most apparent and rigid ties between Trump and the white nationalist agenda. Miller, a mentee of Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon, has had a profound impact on the president-elect’s language and policy on immigration, despite entering Trumpworld with little policy or legal expertise. He was the architect of Trump’s first Muslim travel ban and has been a vocal proponent of family separation at the U.S. border, as well as limiting citizenship for legal immigrants. During his time in Trump’s first term, leaked emails revealed that he promoted white nationalist articles and books, especially on the idea that non-white people are replacing white people.
His rhetoric has been roundly condemned—including by his uncle, Dr. David S. Glosser, who in a scathing 2018 piece for Politico Magazine condemned his far-right relative as a hypocrite for drafting policy that would have prevented their own family from seeking refuge on America’s shores in the twentieth century.
“No matter what opinion is held about immigration, any government that specifically enacts law or policy on that basis must be recognized as a threat to all of us,” Glosser wrote. “Laws bereft of justice are the gateway to tyranny. Today others may be the target, but tomorrow it might just as easily be you or me.”
Miller has also been on the front lines of other components of Trump’s agenda, including attacks on LGBTQ rights and abortion access. In May, Miller (under the helm of America First Legal) joined a legal effort by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and several professors at the University of Texas at Austin that aimed to dismantle Title IX, arguing that the federal civil rights law—which protects against sexual or gender-based discrimination in education—violated the state’s “sovereign interest.”
According to a legal filing , that included limiting schools’ abilities to punish students who take time off to get an abortion, even if that abortion was performed out of state.
Miller sided with the professors that the school should be allowed to punish students who take time off to get an abortion, even if that abortion is performed out of state, while weirdly diminishing Title IX as a pronoun-fueled bathroom battle that would “force girls in every public school in America to share restrooms, locker rooms, and private facilities with men.”
Of course.
Sounds like another excellent choice. It's a serious situation at the border that requires serious and dedicated action to get under control. As we have seen, the former border czar didn't get the job done or even try to.
And it certainly wasn't the Republicans that tried to dismantle Title IX. No it was the progressives that in fact seemed to encourage “force[ing] girls in every public school in America to share restrooms, locker rooms, and private facilities with men.”
At the least, the girl's were sharing restrooms, locker rooms, and private facilities with "sissies" . . . because all that could happen between them mostly would be to 'bump pus-ies.' It's an old 'expression that has been around the homosexual/transsexual community forever. If you haven't heard it before: Just ask what it means. I will explain. At best, the girls were sharing with newly transitioned girls. . . and all that means. (It's not a perfect situation, admittedly. But, then again being athletic and 'trans' calls out for a better solution that is not yet forthcoming to the public.)
He's a White Nationalist Greg, how in the fuck is he a good choice?
Tomorrow, trump will announce that Satan is the new messiah and the right wings reaction? "Great choice!"
He's dyed in the wool racist scum.
If you think he's a White Nationalist, offer some kind of credible proof.
Well, he's white.
That is the only proof they need
No matter what I post Greg, you'll not believe it. Not going to waste my time any further.
"Today, Congressman Joaquin Castro (TX-20), Chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, introduced a resolution condemning the presence of white nationalist Stephen Miller in the White House and called for his immediate resignation from office"
So one leftist called him a white nationalist and that is your proof?
More than likely, this dudes constituents voted for Trump this time around.
BTW...the above headline was from 2020
Some White Nationalists are "good people".
Surely.
Excellent!
One? LOL
I am keenly aware, I read the articles with great alacrity.
Yea one dude from the Hispanic Caucus four years ago.
[Deleted,] [✘] do you have any more?
They never were, and never will be "girls".
If they have a dick, balls, and a prostate, they are only "girls" in their own troubled minds/
Are you saying they're troubled? I agree.
Are you saying we should make their lives even more difficult? I don't agree.
No, they are only 'boys' if they spiritually are attracted to girls and women. Otherwise, they are TRANS-FEMALES and there is science behind it. Remember modern science - that field of endeavor that came into reality to save many lives from perpetual dreariness and 'darkness' (lack of light and a good quality of life).
And don't misunderstand, I am not suggesting that science 'invented' transsexual 'life' on this planet. It was already existing without any 'outlet' or means of displaying itself as are present today.
As for a penises, gonads, and prostates on a trans-girl or woman they do not mean the same as they mean to heterosexuals. They will not be utilized in the same way either. . . generally-speaking . . . EVER. If so, it will be the exception.
So, about as useless as 'tits'* on a bull.*
* No offense to girls or females. Its an expression that conveys a message in a 'startling' fashion that usually lands.
Good luck, CB...
You're appealing to science, against "what everyone knows". You don't stand a chance '
What sciences would you be referring to? Fill in some scientific information here.
This is a psychological issue. The fault is in their minds, not in their bodies.
And how their actions and attitudes affect others is of equal or greater importance than how they are regarded and treated
Sounds more like Gay to me...................
The sciences that need to ignore in order to try to take control of the issues involved. When "you" can separate the mind of a person from the body, that will be the day "you' can make such a declaration as being attempted here. There is no fault. There is "you" who have not a damn thing to do with these people who are making a/the some conservative CHOICE to negate their freedom to 'be' - even while you insist that heterosexuality is the 'only' way.
A point is there somewhere but it defies finding. . . .
You can bet this scum is behind a lot of the legal immigrant hate in Springfield and everywhere else.
of course
"Stephen Miller, an immigration hard-liner
So giving the people what they voted for? How dare he.
Trump's general
Evil scum. That is most appropriate.
Biden's general
Mocking. So much for character and intelligence being the principles to judge others. Just go to old, unsavvy, mocking. All while shouting loudly: "America, the land of freedoms!"
Why didn't you post this same post as a reply to 3.1
Wait......we know why
If Miller wants to act like a "Nazi-version" (in quotes, of course) of an American that is on him (his own family member calls him out for it) and people may make relate to the similarities. However, bringing in innocent groups of people who have nothing to do with the issue is mocking.
Furthermore, parts of this country needs to get used to the fact that people are sick and tired of being told how they should behave and act, while certain SELECT groups of people run around 'owning' them with their taunts, mockings, and social biases.

He's a self admitted racist, I can see why the nutters like him so much.
If you think he's a racist, offer some kind of credible proof.
Already did.
Not in this lifetime
Top to bottom, left to right, you'll find it.
I've looked everywhere and you still have shown none.
Why aren't the magas who want mass deportations demanding that the farmers and manufacturers who hire illegal immigrants, who all are murdering, raping and infecting the blood of our country, be arrested and jailed? And shouldn't the same thing happen to homeowners who hire illegal immigrant gardeners and maids who are destroying our country? The farmers, manufacturers, homeowners and other employers know, or with the exercise of reasonable diligence should know, that their employees are here illegally and they should be held accountable, right?
Who is it that allowed the 'illegals' to be here?
Start with Joe Biden and members of his administration, there are others but that is a good place to start
'End' with republicans sitting on their hands in D.C. (though it did not hurt them in the election) but oh does it have the potential to painfully sting in 2026! We're see how it comes across in two years. Blank canvass. . . on display.
So, it started with Joe Biden. No. That's not true.
No, I was asked who allowed the illegals to be here and I said Biden and his Administration was where to start. He didn't start the problem, but he made it much worse.
No, he did not, make it worse that is, and it didn't start with him and the traitor wouldn't allow the spineless trump sucking gop to make a bi-partisan deal, a deal that BOTH sides agreed on.
How is it that a private citizen not in office not allow the GOP to make a deal?
You're still wrong.
Instead of just saying it, prove it.
In the same manner that a private citizen/president-elect is telling them not to not help/allow the Biden Administration its votes on federal judges in his last dozen weeks or so. That "gotcha" question just wrapped itself around a pole!
Yes. When you see something illegal happening. . . report the culprits: especially if it is a conservative state and a conservative business. Why should they have what they want and continue to 'molest' and 'finesse' the law for their benefit (alone)? Look. Report. Best believe the 'hardliners' will turn 'us' in for it. Bet that. Don't let them get away with using illegals one iota!
Same for abortions in red states. . . when a conservative girl or woman is found violating her state's laws on abortion: Report their butts to the red-state authorities. Why should only liberal girls and women abide this?

Trump Is Serious About Deportations
David A. Graham 2-2 minutes 11/11/2024
Trump Signals That He’s Serious About Mass Deportation
These are not the staff picks of someone who doesn’t mean what he says.
November 11, 2024, 5:15 PM ET
Was Donald Trump serious about his most draconian plans for a second term? That question shadowed his whole campaign, as commentators questioned whether he’d really attempt to deport millions of immigrants or impose tariffs above 60 percent.
If personnel is policy, as the Ronald Reagan–era maxim states, then the president-elect is deadly serious. Last night, he announced that Tom Homan, who was the acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the first Trump administration, will serve as a “border czar.” And CNN reports that Stephen Miller, the leading immigration hawk in Trump’s circle, will be appointed White House deputy chief of staff for policy.
These two moves, and the fact that they are among the first to emerge from the transition, are an indication of Trump’s intent to pursue a very aggressive policy and assign it a high priority. Miller, who served as a Trump speechwriter and top adviser previously, has been a hard-liner on immigration for his entire career. He has spent the past four years building America First Legal, a nonprofit devoted to fighting for conservative causes, and was a contributor to Project 2025 , the Heritage Foundation blueprint for a second Trump term.
Hilarious
Isn't it refreshing to see a president follow through on what he proposed during the campaign?
Never did see that the past four years.
Exactly, it was great that trump got Mexico to pay for the wall and his healthcare plan will be out in two weeks.
You mean the concept of a plan?
Obviously it would have been a waste of money for Mexico since Biden/Harris let almost 10 million illegals in. Mexico should thank Trump for not making them pay for it.
The healthcare thing was proposed well into his term, not during the campaign.
Pay attention.
Trump was in office before Biden... Nice spin though and how would trump, "make" Mexico for the wall? This I gotta hear.
Pretty easy.
50 percent surcharge on remittance payments to Mexico. Same with charges for immigration documentation.
"Trump was in office before Biden"
Correct. You understand presidential sequencing. If Trump made Mexico pay for the wall, it would have been a waste of money for Mexico since Biden/Harris let 10 million illegals into the country in the past 4 years, and they are still coming today.
My education sessions are completed for the day.
Weird, I was waiting for them to start...
First rule to gather a great education.
Pay attention.

Traitor trump
When was he charged with treason?
NOW you want charges? You guys spent 25 years screaming that Hillary was a criminal and she was never charged with so much a fucking parking ticket.
I'm pointing out how you (collective you) leftists have been calling Trump a traitor for several years now, but no one has ever charged him with treason, the criteria for being labeled a traitor.
"ou guys spent 25 years screaming that Hillary was a criminal and she was never charged with so much a fucking parking ticket. "
Should have been.
So should trump.
Where have you been. He has been charged but for some reason, leftists DAs and prosecutors just can't seem to make them stick.
the traitor trump is now above the law

You should try it sometime.
He did a crappy job because more people died under his admin than did Trump.
" Rebuilding the economy "
It was inevitable it was going to happen once COVID waned. He did nothing and kept federal offices closed far longer than they should have been.
"Restoring U.S. leadership abroad "
Delusional. World leaders are laughing at our dementia riddled puppet.
"Expanding health care "
How?
"Tackling climate change"
How? More taxpayer giveaways to "developing" nations like China and India, who are blowing off the Paris Agreement?
"Invest $300 million in COPS program"
The COPS program has been around since 1994. He did nothing different than every other president
"Expand Justice Department power to address police misconduc"
ie lawfare against your political rivals. Bangin job, there, Joe
"Improve Obamacare"
Nice claim but how did he do that?
"Increase access to VA beyond 5-year eligibility for combat veterans"
Well, that is one thing he did. Thanks, Joe
"Reduce health uninsured rates for African-Americans"
How did he do that? Another giveaway for votes? That didn't work so well, huh?
"ut U.S. on a course to net zero admissions by 2050"
Unrealistic. The American people do not want that.
"Repeal law barring Medicare from negotiating lower drug prices"
Did HE repeal the law, or did Congress?
"Tighten "Made-in-America" rules"
What did HE do?
"Reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act"
OK that's two good things
"Nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court"
In other words, a DEI hire, just like Harris. Good job, Joe
"Establish new fuel economy standards"
And auto manufacturers are ignoring them because they know they are unrealistic
"Work with allies to develop secure private sector led 5G networks insulated from China"
He probably had no idea, and still doesn't.
"Rejoin the Paris climate agreement"
Waste of American taxpayer dollars. Great job, Joe s/
"Give small businesses a "restart package" for pandemic-related openings"
Any president would have done that. Joe is not special.
"Help state and local government prevent budget shortfalls"
By giving away federal tax dollars to states and local governments because they can't manage their own finances. Thanks Joe s/
'Reverse family separation policies"
If they are illegal, they should be sent back as a package. That will start to happen soon.
"Rejoin the World Health Organization"
Do you like third world countries dictating how you live? [deleted]
[✘] "You should try it sometime."
I do all the time. Leftists should thank me for the free education lessons.
Try again
The only thing we learned from your contributions to this thread is that your comments are consistently wrong. Reactionaries think if they dig the hole deep enough that somehow no one will notice. Case in point:
The "dementia riddled puppet" getting laughed at by world leaders being Trump, of course.
The traitor is a laughingstock around the world. Everyone laughs at the moron.
Nice try but epic fail.
I easily and correctly debunk every one of you cut and paste points given to you by someone else and the only thing you can come back with is what you did.
Laughable.
Did you even look at the videos.
To recap.....first video.
Trump is speaking in front of the UN. The leaders chuckle when Trump says he has done more than any other president.
So what? Who is it these idiots run to when they need money or military assistance? It ain't some third world country in Southeast Asia, now is it?
The second video has, among others, Macron, supposedly making fun of Trump because he speaks to the press longer than what they like. Most of what Macron says in unintelligible. They might be laughing, but they are now paying more in GDP for MATO then they ever did under any other president. Who actually got the last laugh. It ain't them,
Try again.
You're joking, right? You posted a bunch of trump cult propaganda nonsense and that was your defense for "Never did see that the past four years"? Talk about epic fail.
The videos prove that people internationally consider your Dear Leader Trump a pathetic fool.
The best description of your comment is exactly what I said...
Hilarious that you only focus on one of about twenty debunked points you cut and pasted form someone else, and still failed in your response.
We have seen here that when a point is lost, one goes to insults and hyperbole.
Your post(s) demonstrate that well.
I would ask you to try again, but I think if you did, it would once again be a colossal failure.
What we've seen here often is that reactionaries start their side of a conversation with insults and hyperbole.
You seem to be intentionally obscuring and deflecting from the basis for my initial comment, or you just don't get it. You stated, and I will quote again: "Never did see that the past four years". I proved you to be incorrect, you even admitted to it, but you are attempting to turn the conversation into something it isn't.
The colossal failure is all yours.
Was this not you?
Or this?
And these were only in the last hour
I guess this makes you a reactionary, correct?
" I proved you to be incorrect,"
No you didn't and I explained why.
" The colossal failure is all yours."
Mirror mirror
Your comment is a waste of space.
You even admitted to two of the cited instances where Biden did what he promised.
Your response is really funny!
‘Your comment is a waste of space.’
thank you for proving my point in 6.3.8 once again. Very east for me
’You even admitted to two of the cited instances where Biden did what he promised. ’
Yea….. two out of about 20 others i debunked. You were given those points by someone that you just cut and pasted here so you have no idea how to argue my debunking of them……unless someone tells you how.
‘Your response is really funny’
thanks……I’ll be playing here all week
Face it. Your original comment was whack. Your defense of it is even whackier. The stupidity of your arguments speaks for itself. You should stop listening to whoever the nutjob is who's telling you what to say. Good luck!
He doesn't even know when people are laughing at him
Donald Trump’s Extremely Long List of Second-Term Revenge Targets
Something you may have picked up on in the last eight years or so is that Donald Trump is obsessed with revenge against the people, places, and things he believes have wronged him. During his first run for office, for example, he spent ample amounts of time musing about imprisoning Hillary Clinton, and in his most recent run for the White House, he vowed, on several occasions, to crush the “ enemy within .”
While targets of Trump’s ire may have been able to spend the last several months soothing themselves with the notion that it would be inconceivable for voters to reelect a man who is vocal about his plans for going after fellow Americans, that’s obviously not the way things shook out last week. Instead, Trump cruised to a second term in office . And now, it’s not a question of if the incoming president will make good on his threats for revenge, but when and against whom. “Will Trump retaliate?” Gwenda Blair, who wrote a biography about the Trump family, asked The New York Times. “Of course. The only question is how much will be broad-brush and how much will be targeted.” Which makes the reported fears of the people in Trump’s crosshairs extremely understandable!
“He’s erratic and has the attention span of a seven-year-old,” Harry Litman, a former Clinton DOJ official, told the Times of Trump. “But his thirst for revenge against those he views as his current antagonists is very real, and there’s no reason to think he would be deterred by legal niceties.” (Trump’s office did not respond to the Times ’ request for comment concerning whether he would make good on campaign revenge threats.)
Show where he said he would seek revenge, by name, of those people, otherwise, your cut and paste article was a waste of yours, and our, time.
Stephen Miller a perfect pick for Trump. Miller should take the time to read his grandmothers book on how they escaped what is present day Belarus in 1903 and those that didn’t leave the village in Belarus a few thousand ended up dead in the Russian pogroms. They emigrated from a shit hole country (sound familiar) poor uneducated and unable to speak English and Jews as well. Miller seems to have forgotten his past. Oh well, not unusual for MAGA’s…..
His uncle wrote an article calling him "an immigration hypocrite".
You know,. . . part of me. . .wants to read that article (I have not as of this). . .another part of me just wants to chalk this up to him being just a worsening figure coming in to power. . .people were warned against. Read it; Not read it. I just don't know. A suggestion, might help.
It's interesting. His uncle wrote it in 2018. I recommend that you read it.
I will then. Thank you for sharing and recommending I do so.
It's a good read. It makes its point clearly. I pull this part out for deeper consideration by all:
Kevin?
