Stephen miller asserts obviously morally objectionable thing. Gets red in the face and foams at the mouth trying to appear confident when attempting to explain it's logic or morality.

Yaah, the guy's got terminal "little man's" disease.
Also, he's a tool.
As a little man, I resent being associated with this person.
You are not little.
You are undertall and are mentally well balanced, thankyouverymuch.
Your penis is still 5x bigger than his.
Scrawny bitch spouts off about how "might makes right"
More like Cuck Makes Buck with this one.
Actually, they don't.
When Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to USA in 1916-1917, part of that deal was to ratify that USA accepted the full Danish ownership of Greenland.
At the time, this was done to keep Norway from making claims to Greenland.
But anyway, we quite literally have a document written by USA and signed by USA stating that Denmark alone owns Greenland.
Edit: Took some time to find, but here it is signed by U.S Secretary of State Robert Lansing who made the deal under President Woodrow Wilson.
I don't think this administration gives a shit about documents, precedent, or the rule of law.
They don't give a shit because nobody is holding them accountable. The rest of the western world is waiting for the American people to start holding their government accountable and it's just not happening.
It didn't happen in Germany or Japan even after they were firebombed and / or nuked.
People really don't like holding power - even the formerly poweful - to account; and people in power generally don't like it either (unless it suits them).
I suspect it's partly because doing so would lead to the obvious question: who gave then the power in the first place?
“Nobody’s going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland,” Mr. Miller told Jake Tapper
“We live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power,” he said. “These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”
“The United States of America is running Venezuela,” Mr. Miller said, dismissing international treaties enshrining a nation’s right to independence and sovereignty as “international niceties.”
He's not arguing we have some 'legal' right, he's arguing that since we have a military, we can do whatever we want wherever we want so long as no one is able to successfully stop us...
He's giving some serious Hitler vibes. Also, Thrasymachus.
He's also basically saying that if anyone is capable of violently overthrowing the US, then they have a right to do so.
Also, dismissing international treaties as "niceties" comes very close to treason, as he's basically saying to disregard the laws as they were written by constitutional authority.
If legal documents no longer count for anything, then neither does the constitution. That would mean the US government has no legal authority.
It's a dangerously slippery slope, but I think he's lusting for the chaos that would result.
He's also asking what right Denmark has to it, which is what I addressed. USA gave us that right.
I don't really think they're going to do anything just now. USA can already have all the military they want on Greenland. They're the ones who are supposed to protect it, so if they choose to attack, what the hell are they supposed to attack? The snow?
It would basically mean that they withdraw from NATO, which is a bit over the top for putting a flag in the snow in an area they already control.
I think that it's all a distraction. They're probably going for a surprise attack in Panama any day now.
Mr Burns vibes
Giving the most pathetically weak men on earth an Airforce during their ongoing and accelerating masculinity crisis was a bad move.
Based ooooonnnnnn......?
a superiority complex
Not to put too fine a point on it but this is exactly what the entire rest of the world would say when 2A cultists would talk about how "guns keep da gubmint in check".
Maybe, instead of wasting money, blood and political capital on making sure every psycho could pack heat it may have been wiser to spend it on firming up the laws and protecting against exactly what is happening now. For example, maybe a President responsible for a coup should not have been on the ballot.
The people who talked like that the most are fine with this and the party that enabled them also did everything they could to break it.
unelected minion
Dear Americans,
I know there are some of you that are still good people, but the polls show that over 80% of Republicans and 30% of Independents (edit.. Fixed this) support this President. Overall is about 40%. Fucking two in five. This is fucking insane.
Know this: If you invade Mexico, it will very likely be WW3. If you invade Greenland it most certainly will be. Everyone that I know in Canada is preparing.
If you are a good American, you are at a turning point RIGHT NOW. You may be past the point where protest matters. Maybe a general strike is the next step. And maybe that cherished 2A, which you've paid for in the blood of dead children, needs to be exercised. The point wasn't just to look cool shooting your guns. You know what the purpose of the 2A is, and it's ugly and it's hard.
I'm telling you as a Canadian that if you talk about it and deliberate it, and talk about how people are acting and talk about how people are talking about it, you're wasting precious time. You need to ACT and you need to ACT NOW. I'm sorry, but it has to be you guys. You have friends and support in other countries, but YOU are the ones that need to lead it.
Edit. Looks like I upset some Americans. That's really unfortunate for you. If you think you didn't ask for this, think about how I feel in another country. You have the means to upset things, I do not. Take some responsibility.
Edit 2. To all of the good hearted and suffering Americans who read this, I want to pull back a bit. I know there are good people, I have family and friends in the US. In my defense there is a lot happening very quickly, and the potential for actual, existential impact to me and my family is becoming real enough that I've started a trigger based prep plan and have started reconnecting with my CAF contacts. In the last few days this has ratcheted up to a new level. I'm really fucking angry. I'm angry at everyone. I'm angry that I couldn't give my kids a future in a better world than I had. Yes I'm angry at you but not at you in particular. In fact I want you to have courage and strength because I realize what you face is also an existential threat. I want you to succeed. I need you to succeed. Please look past my anger and realize that you do have people around the world who will rise up and support you, who will fuel the fire. But we can't light it. That's all on you guys.
You are talking sense.
US liberals REALLY don't like that. The mere suggestion that their good intentions mean fuck all will turn them into rabid MAGA-level ad hominem shitheads real quick. They REALLY don't like being reminded that they're a bunch of goddamn cowards who care far more about maintaining their lifestyles than they do about their country.
His assertion is that might makes right, so according to Stephen Miller, all Denmark has to do is shoot him in the face.
Someone needs to send an Italian plumber for this scumbag
"you can't just say bankruptcy"
"I didn't say it, I asserted it"
Our military needs to be reminded that they work for the Constitution, not a fucking pedophile rapist felon dictator. If the Pedo-in-Chief gives an illegal order or something that is just plain wrong, then need to grow a fucking spine and say no. Quit if you have to. Protest. Attacking other countries because a fascist PoS tells you to is like following Hitler's orders--- you wanna be remembered as being like fucking Hitler??? Wtf
The checks against this are designed to feel good, but require that people de facto forced into the military to sacrifice their own lives unilaterally.
Aside from the bull he is spreading. This guy is creepy. His stance looking slightly over his shoulder and his jerky motions. Like he was under a stimulant influence.
It's wild to me that the US is going to make a run at taking over the world. Growing up here in the 80s and 90s we were taught that we were the country that prevented anyone else from trying that. Hell we, according to our schooling, ended both world wars.
I don't mean that I grew up trusting the government, but it wasn't on my life bingo card that we would ever attempt world conquest. Trump was a guy everybody made fun of when I was a kid, so him as president was unexpected the first time, and unimaginable a second time after his first performance.
We live in a bad novel. The plot is stupid and the characters suck and the ending is going to be ugly.
According to...what? His pathetic need to be the biggest boy on the playground?
So what? Miller sprays his bald head with paint.
I'm not even kidding
Never listen to a head painter
