I've written elsewhere today about how Trump is dishonoring the military. Thing is, per his Ft Bragg sideshow he's sorting out the personnel who will or already have pledged loyalty to him personally from alla the rest who still hew to the code of conduct. That means there will be some ready to rumble at the moment of his choosing. Will they cheerfully gun down unarmed folks in the streets? Maybe not in Little Rock, but Manhattan...? San Francisco? LA? Oh hell yes.

It strikes me as really odd how Miller’s campaign has unrolled and unraveled. He didn’t need to meet his arbitrary quota for propaganda purposes, it’s simply one more thing to lie about. Trump does want fighting in the streets to justify showing his “strength” a core value for him. Was this deliberate or just Miller needing his fantasies be justified with numbers? In either case it makes sense to expect this to keep ramping up. Makes me almost respect Russell Vought’s low-key demolition of the federal government for its craftsmanship. Other than the laid-off numbers, no one seems to know what’s going on over there.
