11. All of the Trump humpers who appear today will be angry because of Biden's SOTU last night.

They have to figure a way to get folks focused on other stuff...like lying about J6 and the J6 Report and lying about how great Trump was. I am glad for the exposure to Miller but I still hate giving a forum to these anti-democracy cretins.

when he first appeared on Morning Joe this morning, he immediately irritated me. Then I realized who he was, I turned it off and took a shower. Ugh! His book will be on the bargain table in two weeks, I'm sure.

This asshole is a TFG supporter who would not comment on TFG attempting to deny the peaceful transfer of power. DO NOT BUY THIS ASSHOLE's book.

Donald Trump's post-election acting secretary of defense refused to denounce the former president under questioning on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

Christopher Miller, who served as defense secretary from Nov. 9, 2020, until Jan. 20, 2021, filibustered when asked a direct question about the ex-president's role in the Jan. 6 insurrection.

"My question to you is, I didn't see anything in the book that I read -- and I might have missed it -- where you get to the point where your boss, Donald J. Trump, interfered actively in the transfer of legally constitutional transfer of power," said analyst Mike Barnicle. "Why is that?".....

"Your question, though, and I'm serious, thanks for, you know, the question and being a part of that, so the question is, why didn't I call out President Trump for being extra-constitutional or trying to overthrow the government?" Miller said. "Yeah, I've been very clear in previous testimony and in public statements that I think his activities on the 6th and with this, with the transfer of power were not helpful."

"I sound like I'm tap dancing, I know, but it's, like, let the courts figure it out," Miller added. "We impeached the guy, we had the 1/6 Committee and they referred charges. Let's see this out. You guys bring up the questions about the other secretaries of defense and all these things. I'm like, yeah, let's, you know -- decision making and leadership, let's get as much information as we can, and we still are waiting for more information, so court's out for me. I mean, you can criticize me."

17. I'll bet Miller really liked being called "Mr. Secretary"

And getting doors opened for him, and people deferring to him, and everyone doing obeisances and catering to him. But doing his job? Making decisions? Being on top of a fast-developing situation and trying to minimize the chaos, destruction and death? Christopher Miller really had other things to do on January 6. I mean, Wordle was really hard that day.
