I just picture Miller as Grima Wormtongue whispering in King Theoden's ear... Trump is no Theoden but the image of a malicious whispering destructive spy holding sway over the leader of a country seems valid...

Bannon, Vought, Miller and maybe a few others. Trump is the useful idiot. They let him golf and build ballrooms to keep him happy while they install a white christo-facsist state...

The USA appears to be in this nexus with 1984, Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451, and Handmaid's Tale with a dash of Ready Player One....

In the novel 1984, Newspeak is the fictional language of Oceania, a totalitarian superstate. The Party created Newspeak, which is a controlled language of simplified grammar and limited vocabulary designed to limit a person's ability for critical thinking.

Im afraid the juice is gone- the only names left in the files will be the ones on the list Trump sent to the DOJ - all democrats and no one else

Big man, pig man
Ha, ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel
Ha, ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying 'Keep on digging'
Pig stain on your fat chin

I split firewood. Then read or reread a good book.
In no particular order:

Dune
Lord of the Rings
Kidnapped
Treasure Island
Some of My Best Friends are Fishermen
A River Runs Through It
Hitchhiker's Guide series
Killing the Shamen
It
'Salem's LOT
The Stand

Are all good "repeat" reads.

1 - control the media
2 - control the courts
3 - identify an enemy
4 - control the military

The coup is complete.

Rose Garden, ballroom, golf - these are likely things his handlers allow him to have to keep him happy and distract the conversation from more significant things. Bannon, Miller, Vought, Pence and maybe a few others are the likely the shot callers in this enterprise.

"You know the thing about a shark is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be livin’… until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. "

Just getting the command and control structure comfortable blowing up civilian vehicles, identifying them as "narcoterrorists". Pair that with "the enemy within" and calling people protesting the government "terrorists" and it's not hard to see where this is heading.

He does. While I would be pleased to see him leave Ontario, I would be equally displeased to see him on the federal stage.

From the same LP:

Philosophers and Plowmen
Each must do their part
To mold a new reality
Closer to the Heart..

People seemed to be doing their part today.
