The White House and Department of Justice have reportedly been discussing potentially throwing journalists in jail to reveal the identities of leakers and fresh White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is behind the plan.
In an Atlantic report about the exit of Susie Wiles from her chief of staff role at the White House, it was revealed that a plan to jail journalists is in consideration in the administration. Wiles reportedly pushed back on such a plan while Miller gave it his endorsement.
According to the report, which cites multiple people familiar with the situation, Donald Trump has been pressing the DOJ to pursue criminal cases against people who leak information to the media on “national security grounds.” Various “tactics” have been discussed, including arresting journalists to push them into revealing their sources.
I wonder if Trump realizes how much his low approval rating and midterm disaster is directly tied to Miller and his policies?
Trump does, it’s why he does it. Authoritarians aren’t authoritarians because of popularity contests. He wants to make the US authoritarian and it will all depend on how much police departments, the FBI, ICE, and states go along with it.
He knows, and he approves. He’s been keeping PeeWee Himmler in his back pocket since 2015, waiting for the worst case scenario, which happened last Tuesday.
As one Nazi General said, after hearing that the Red Army had fully defeated the Nazis at Stalingrad, had crossed the Volga, and we’re now marching directly for Berlin: “If they treat us half as bad as we treated them, we’re in BIG trouble.” MAGA knows that 2028 is likely to go to the Dems, and then they are ALL going to prison, or worse, so they have do whatever it takes to crush the spirit of the American people, and end elections.
PeeWee Himmler has always been Trump’s Scorched Earth General, the guy to bring in at the endgame, who will do ANYTHING to win. Trump can trust that PeeWee will gleefully murder MILLIONS of people, and frighten all of America into bowing down. Hegseth is his twin, another trustworthy psychopath who wouldnt hesitate to turn our military on our own citizens. Between the two, Trump is sure that he can beat us into submission.
He’s an ignorant, uneducated Traitor, so he doesn’t understand a basic fact about America: We are not timid peasants. Americans grow up learning in school about the exploits of our founding fathers, true revolutionaries who defeated the greatest military on Earth. We are raised to not be afraid of tyrants, and to confront them face-to-face.
He can try to turn the government against us, but there are a LOT more of us than them, and they are virtuosically incompetent. Bring it on, Weenies, we’re more than ready for you.
