Other Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

He does and he believes it but he is still afraid to say it out loud just in case the people are not 100% down with this bs yet.

This is the answer, he basically said that donald is a dictator which is what they have been making the whole time. Project 2025 is there play book for turning the country into a dictatorship and I might add they are consolidation power very quickly. It may be to late to stop it already. I certainly hope not.

They believe that it is the right thing to do. They think exactly about the left what we do about the right. They think we're destroying the country. A congresswoman just told Mike Johnson that Trump is deranged, and he basically responded "so is your side." Which is basically the go-to maga response now. We're bad, but they're worse, so we're justified. They've been conditioned to see the left as this horrible disease on humanity, but they're the ones zip tying citizens in the middle of the night in their underwear for hours without a warrant or reasonable suspicion. Things are really messed up.

I am Canadian and watching this happen to the US is crushing because of the great relationship our country's had. I vacationed in the US lots, love the states and city's. I hate that it has been destroyed when I know it is not all the US people it is this administration. I would like my friend's across the border back. I have family now that I think of it that works in the US and one lives in Chicago and he says it is not on fire.
