Something is seriously wrong



Well okay then. Now that we’ve all been disrupted and murdered on Thanksgiving, what next? Trump went on to use the slur “seriously retarded” to describe Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Yes, Trump really called him that. The odd part is that Trump doesn’t use this particular slur in his social media rants. It’s not out of any sense of decency. It’s that the word simply isn’t in his wheelhouse.


And so here we have a holiday rant from Trump that’s twice as unhinged as usual, and includes words and phrases that Trump’s posts normally don’t, and in fact seems to be written in an entirely different style than any of Trump’s previous posts. And while the writing is simplistic and juvenile, it’s far more sophisticated than anything Trump could come up with. So who wrote this?


With Trump so deep into dementia, the story the media should be covering is this: who’s been posting unhinged rants in Trump’s name on Trump’s social media account? Why has someone else apparently taken over that role? More to the point, who’s running the country in Trump’s cognitive absence? For that matter, when is the media going to acknowledge Trump’s cognitive absence at all?

The hatefulness and crudity sounded like something out of Der Stürmer, the Nazis official hate journal. While Miller may look like Goebbels, his writing skills fall far short of the original propagandist.

government and governing.

Stephen Miller and Russell Vought communicate regularly:
They are key allies with overlapping roles in the current Trump administration, working together on core policy objectives. They are both highly influential figures in the White House, described in some reports as effectively "running the White House and the country" due to their significant policy and budgetary influence.
government & governing.

Both share similar far-right, anti-government, and christian nationalist ideologies and are central architects of the Trump administration's agenda, including the principles outlined in the Project 2025 playbook.

Policy and Budget Coordination:
Miller, serving as White House deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security adviser;
Vought, as the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), frequently coordinate to align policy directives with budget decisions. For example, they were reported to be planning the takeover of federal information systems together early in the government transition.

Collaboration on Specific Initiatives:
They have worked closely on specific initiatives aimed at dismantling the federal bureaucracy and implementing mass layoffs, with Miller championing Vought's work internally.

They have frequently appeared together in their official capacities

network they, trump and hegseth work for, really intend to establish an capitalist oligarchy by any means necessary. Labels and predictions don't matter to them, what matters is that they use those things (fear of gun confiscation) as distractions from their unstated but very real goal. We have to keep our eyes and attention higher and beyond these guys who just serve them.

Brace yourselves, kiddies, it's going to be a very rough ride for a while.

Just get out and VOTE, especially if a Senator is running in your state. It's time to clean House AND Senate and if we can do that, we might be able to end the nightmare early.

Fri Nov 28, 2025, 06:06 PM

every bit as bad as Miller -- possibly worse. Here's how Wikipedia describes his style:

Cheung employs a combative style mirroring Donald Trump's own approach to the media.The Atlantic described Cheung as having "relentless aggression" that "helps quench the base's thirst for owning the libs." Stephanie Grisham, who worked with Cheung in the White House, told NOTUS that he excelled at "pithy statements that can offend people quickly, which is exactly what Trumpworld likes."

In contrast to his predecessors, Cheung's social media posts are often profanity-laden and attack Trump's adversaries. Cheung has referred to various political adversaries and reporters through terms such as "cuck," "dumbass," "dick," and "fucking stupid." He described James Comey, the former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as "one of the dumbest motherfuckers in human history," Florida governor Ron DeSantis as a "desperate eunuch," and California governor Gavin Newsom as "a mongoloid who barely registers half a brain cell."

(I broke the Wikipedia entry into two paragraphs for easier reading.)
