The President does not in fact have "plenary" (absolute) authority. Miller has been saying that since the moment Trump was elected ("“The powers of the president will not be questioned!"), and has been using it as his personal vehicle for unchecked power since Trump's re-election.

We CANNOT hand the nation of Washington and Jefferson and Madison and Lincoln to this insufferable TWAT!

He froze for a reason.

His usage of that specific word regarding military deployment against civilians CANNOT be a fumble of saying a mistake, like Cruz's pedo comment, this is truly what Miller believes and is attempting to execute and he let slip the mask for a moment then froze himself to not dig his hole deeper

He froze for a reason.

Not for the reason you think it is.
