The Atlantic: "Top Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases"

I'm guessing these vermin aren't dining out in our local restaurants anymore either

Boo fucking hoo

Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and others have taken over homes that until recently housed senior officers.
By Michael Scherer, Missy Ryan, and Ashley Parker
October 30, 2025

The former White House adviser Katie Miller—mother of three young children, and wife of the presidential right-hand man Stephen—walked out of her front door one Thursday morning last month and was confronted by a woman she did not know. When she told this story on Fox News, she described the encounter as a protest that crossed a line. The stranger had told Miller: “I’m watching you,” she said. This was the day after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. It also wasn’t anything new.

For weeks before Kirk’s death, activists had been protesting the Millers’ presence in north Arlington, Virginia. Someone had put up wanted posters in their neighborhood with their home address, denouncing Stephen as a Nazi who had committed “crimes against humanity.” A group called Arlington Neighbors United for Humanity warned in an Instagram post: “Your efforts to dismantle our democracy and destroy our social safety net will not be tolerated here.” The local protest became a backdrop to the Trump administration’s response to Kirk’s killing. When Miller, the architect of that response who is known for his inflammatory political rhetoric, announced a legal crackdown on liberal groups, he singled out the tactics that had victimized his family—what he called “organized campaigns of dehumanization, vilification, posting peoples’ addresses.”

Stephen Miller soon joined a growing list of senior Trump-administration political appointees—at least six by our count—living in Washington-area military housing, where they are shielded not just from potential violence but also from protest. It is an ominous marker of the nation’s polarization, to which the Trump administration has itself contributed, that some of those top public servants have felt a need to separate themselves from the public. These civilian officials can now depend on the U.S. military to augment their personal security. But so many have made the move that they are now straining the availability of housing for the nation’s top uniformed officers.

And more waste of money by the party of waste. The suffering will continue because Stephen miller and many of his fellow travelers have no marketable skills. Except, sadly, hate is marketable.

In a nutshell. This isn't just 'politics', they are going to be seriously fucking over many millions of people's lives, if not outright causing their deaths. And of course, THEY are the one's who love all these very powerful guns in everyone's hands, so ...

I said to a friend things aren't going to change until these fuckers don't have a place to come home to. Perhaps this is a sign of that.
