1. David Duke unavailable?

[Cracklin Charlie]

39. Don't look like anyone's available.

Clown. Show.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. That should be special. Too bad Leni Riefenstahl isn't still around

to do campaign videos.

[Celerity]

54. Milller is more a Goebbels type, even looks-wise

Riefenstahl in conversation with Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, 1937

[bdamomma]

58. he looks

a Nazi, why is this POS still there?????

[JHB]

60. Partly because he flatters Trump, partly because he's strictly "supporting cast", but mostly...

...because he's a Nazi.

[bdamomma]

63. I will be so

happy when he gets whats coming to him. He deserves to be locked in a cage.

[Celerity]

62. a huge underpinning of Trump's power's a direct mainline tap to the long wave undercurrents of white

nationalism, supremacy and manufactured racial grievance/fear of the 'other'. They bubble and boil, simmer and surge just underneath the surface superstructures and zeitgeist of the nation since its founding. Actually before, going back not just the 401 years since the first black slaves landed in Jamestown, but indeed back to very act of 'claiming' the land for the Euro-powers in the beginning. These Hadean forces often spill outward and upwards in violent volcanic-like eruptions.

Trump rides upon that lightning, those dragons.

[denbot]

86. This

Ghost Rec.

[scarletwoman]

90. Very well said.

[comradebillyboy]

64. Leni Riefenstahl was very good at what she did, unlike

Gestapo Miller.

[qazplm135]

3. Disinterred Hitler wasn't available?

Good God, this is going to be a train wreck into a nuclear reactor.

[fleur-de-lisa]

13. Miller should just plagiarize Mein Kampf, save some time on speech writing.

[Ford_Prefect]

82. He's already used a fair bit of Himmler's language along with Adolf's cliff notes.

This could be the moment that may sink Trump's boat. I have no doubts about how Miller will frame this and the language he'll use will be obvious and painful to anyone with a memory of past racist screeds.
It will be full of racist code and will avoid accepting responsibility for all trump has said until today which stirred up the racial divide and encouraged the white nationalists. It will lay blame on the citizens, the Governors, politicians, public figures, and the protesters who have spoken out for pushing too hard and too fast.
It will cry mercy on the poor misunderstood, racist, misogynist, working-class whites who've been led down the garden path by 40 years of hate radio, the NRA, Fox News, and Trump.
It will above all demand that we all work together to heal the rift Trump and the GOP engendered and so successfully exploited to gain office. It will not ask the GOP, or big money interests to apologize for systemic racism.

It will try unfairly and inaccurately to blame Democrats for failing to act when the GOP has stonewalled changes in policy and law.

Although Democrats do share some of this burden and the central party leadership have dragged their feet on occasion, it hardly compares to the naked aggression of the GOP and its willful inflammation of racism as a party dogma.

Most of all it will, without doubt, be painful in the ears of anyone who has suffered, who has witnessed the suffering or has strived to change this awful legacy of our shared past.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

94. 👏👏🏾👏🏻👏🏿

[kimbutgar]

4. You know it will turn into a me me speech I am being treated so unfairly by the media

It’s not my fault this happened in Minneapolis.

[Marrah_Goodman]

5. Not enough popcorn in the world

He is going to dig his grave even deeper.

[Jacoby365]

6. That will require some serious thought contortions by Miller,

and Trump, also, when he reads it. Will they be able to pull it off in a convincing manner?

[ProfessorGAC]

10. I'll Say No

No matter how positive the words, the delivery will be stiff & insincere. His only good public speaking approaches are anger & ridicule. That won't work, here.
I could be wrong, but I'm guessing I'm not.

[Doodley]

18. You are not wrong at all.

[BannonsLiver]

32. You won't be wrong

And worse for Dump, there will be inevitable comparisons to Obama’s 2008 speech on race that will be unfavorableto Dump.

[Caliman73]

15. Simple answer... Not a chance in hell.

Let's see, racist scumbag writing a speech on race relations for a racist scumbag?

I am going with stilted monotone voice over dog whistles, devolving into an attack on how "people" are stoking division.

[sarge43]

80. It will be counter-productive and most likely disgusting, but it won't be surprising.

"They're kinda good people, but they gotta stop demanding stuff, else ..."

[nolabear]

7. Sadly, he's a cunning little rat. He can oil it up.

But I’ll bet money Spanky can’t make it believable, nor can Miller do anything but out his Nazi leanings. It’s gonna be a trip.

[NRaleighLiberal]

8. I knew it would be. what could possibly go wrong???

[onecaliberal]

9. What could possibly go wrong?

[CatWoman]

11. PLEASE PROCEED

you ignorant fuckers

[Iliyah]

12. t-rump will be totally drugged up for this one . .. .

sniffing and breathing hard. Probably go off script at some point.

No thanks . .

[Caliman73]

20. Exactly.

Like I said above. Stilted monotone. Definitely a ton of sniffing. Then it devolves into pointing the finger at media, Democrats, and "others" trying to divide America by stoking racial tensions.

[NYC Liberal]

27. And the media will praise him for being "presidential"

[Caliman73]

30. Yup.

Just as long as he doesn't drop his pants and take a shit on the podium, the "liberal media" will talk about how he maybe is turning a corner and how "presidential" he sounded.

[Crunchy Frog]

68. He finally became President today!!!!

[StarfishSaver]

70. You called it

I don't know why the press refuses to report the obvious. The man is clearly drugged up, yet they act like nothing is amiss...

I realize that, traditionally, it would have been inappropriate to refer to it. But we left traditional three years ago. They need to start asking about that.

[intrepidity]

14. Not The Onion?

Oye.

[oregonjen]

35. Right? Every time I read something, I'm thinking it has to be The Onion.

[uponit7771]

38. +1

[dhill926]

92. satire is dying the death of a thousand cuts...

[lame54]

16. Cut and paste from actual great speeches

[Cha]

17. The Gaslighting Continues.. BLOTUS & his Fucked Up

POS Racist crew will fool no one but the dead eyed cult.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

19. Oh dear Lord. nt

[Hav]

21. I cannot be the only one who wanted to make that joke

about Miller writing that speech when it was first announced and then thought it would be too stupid and too predictable for a joke...

[Doodley]

22. Trump's poll numbers will fall to sub-forty if SM is the author.

[DFW]

23. That figures

Sort of like Josef Göbbels writing speeches for the head Rabbi of Warsaw.

[TheBlackAdder]

24. I wonder whose manifesto he'll plagiarize for this.

[Cha]

25. Oh & WH isn't "seeking" anything but to LIE about Race Relations..

bc they can read the polls. & how FUBARED they are.

[Dennis Donovan]

26. If *THIS* isn't Putin's fuckery, then NOTHING is! 😠

[Cha]

28. Contrasting pics of Pres Obama's & BLOTUS' Interns..

[MustLoveBeagles]

29. Well of course he is

Will chainsaw guy make a special appearance during this? Inquiring minds want to know. I'd better go stock up on popcorn.

[smirkymonkey]

31. They aren't really planning to go through with this, are they?

There is just no way they can NOT fuck this up. Even if the written speech isn't terrible, it will be hollow and Trump's reading of it will sound insincere and shallow. Also, he will definitely be doped up for this one.

Nobody for whom this type of speech is meant to appeal to will believe one word of it, and his base will resent the fact that he is pandering to BLM crowd. I just don't see the point.

[helpisontheway]

33. Oh you can't make this shit up! 😂😂🤣😂They are clueless! 🙄nt

[uponit7771]

42. Miller wont trying to talk to Americans but Trumps & brothers in white supremacy & hate world wide.

... My understanding is the white supremacist want a race war that they think they'll win cause they'll be sexed out of existence anyway.

Instead of having babies and love they spew fear and hate, most of those guys are losers no one sees at the top of the food chain anyway.

[NNadir]

34. He'll probably announce that the whole thing is the fault of African Americans for existing. n/t.

[Miguelito Loveless]

36. If he reads the speech it will be a train wreck

if he ad libs and riffs on the speech it will be an asteroid strike.

[Paladin]

37. Sounds like black uniform/red armband time is coming up.

Lucky us.

[highplainsdem]

41. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Miller owns an SS uniform.

[Paladin]

61. It's profoundly easy to imagine him going full Himmler, isn't it?

God, I'll be so glad when this horror show is a thing of the past. History is going to be unkind to us for letting it go on as long as it did.

[Crunchy Frog]

73. Probably uses it for foreplay.

[treestar]

40. Somebody on DU already called that!

This speech is going to be useless and even damaging.

[uponit7771]

45. +1, Trump and Miller want to talk their brothers in white supremacy and hate not Americans

[treestar]

52. nailed it

there is no way it will be in any way willing to deal with the issues except from the view of those "good people" some of them allegedly are.

[highplainsdem]

46. Lots of people predicted/joked about the possibility, but this was the first confirmation.

[sakabatou]

43. Wait, is this satire, or is this real?

[highplainsdem]

48. Wish it were just satire, but no. April Ryan is a WH correspondent.

[sakabatou]

49. Holy fuck...

[Skittles]

93. I know

Trump does not address the death of Mr. Floyd, then hires Mr. Goebbels to write a speech on race relations.....The Onion just needs to go out of business, they cannot compete with the likes of this.

[SoonerPride]

44. He will pour gasoline on this hoping to start a race war

He can’t help himself.

HE ALWAYS MAKES THINGS WORSE

[bdamomma]

65. He gets his

orders from headquarters, Putin is all over this.

[yonder]

47. They've dropped the graveside shovel and called in a backhoe.

Say a Cat 390, or so.

[Bettie]

50. Well that ought to throw gasoline

on the fire.

[sheshe2]

51. OMG. What could go wrong?

[Miles Archer]

53. ...and, this should surprise no one.

The second it was floated as an idea I thought "Miller."

Wonder how he'll fuse "unity" with blind and naked authoritarianism?

[area51]

55. This should go well.

[bluecollar2]

78. You stole my line....n/t

[FakeNoose]

56. My TV stays off for this one

I'm taking a hard pass. Maybe I'll watch reruns of I Love Lucy or something. Anything.

[bdamomma]

57. what he got better?

from corona, too bad.

[Crunchy Frog]

59. Oh boy.

[tishaLA]

66. it'll be 14 words long and include a mention

of how many keys are on a piano keyboard.

[Efilroft Sul]

67. Miller's speech and Trump's delivery will probably go like this:

Trump: It is important that we seek out every brown person who is protesting police…
MAGA Rally: SEEK!
Trump: …as we hail all those officers who bravely uphold the law.
MAGA Rally: HAIL!
Trump: SEEK!
MAGA Rally: HAIL!

(repeat last two lines as necessary)

[Ms. Toad]

69. That should go over well . . .

NOT.

[totodeinhere]

71. That should be quite a speech then.

n/t

[Javaman]

72. he'll probably plagiarize mien kampf. nt

[TygrBright]

74. I can't even... n/t

[TeamPooka]

75. It can be the best speech on race ever but the moment trump goes off script he will invalidate

everything he said during it.
So go ahead give a speech about race, police reform etc
The moment it's over a reporter will ask him if he takes back what he said and thinks police should be nicer to suspects when putting them in the car etc
He will go right back.
.

[TygrBright]

76. Text: "Scary brown people are coming for you and only I can save you." n/t

[George II]

77. That's like getting Willie Sutton to write a speech on bank security.

[Nasruddin]

79. A cunning plan

I'm sure it will be an inciteful speech.

[kentuck]

81. I doubt that Trump will even edit it?

Anyway, he doesn't know what he is reading.

[Vinca]

83. I wonder if Trump will deliver it with his white hood on.

[47of74]

84. Deutschland, Deutschland, Uber Alles....

[LiberalArkie]

85. He should start using AI instead of live.

[SunSeeker]

87. OMFG

[rurallib]

88. I would hope that NO media outlets would carry it live

except FUX

[jorgevlorgan]

89. he thinks we are stupid

He will know soon enough we arent.

[Blue Owl]

91. He just ate the glue that was supposed to hold us all together

n/t
