I am really, really, really looking forward to Pee Wee German's Alexander "I'M IN CHARGE HERE" Haig moment.

I think The Beatles' "Ticket To Ride" is really appropriate here. You know the true backstory of that song, right? Lennon wrote it about sex industry workers going for their venereal disease checkups and getting a clean bill of health...their "Ticket to Ride."

And the disease that is Stephen Miller got HIS ticket to ride when Trump was elected.

Miller is never, never, NEVER going to have an opportunity like this again. And I don't care if Peter Thiel IS "successful" in "grooming' Vance. Vance will NEVER attract the blind cult loyalty that the MAGAts show to Trump.

But I think Miller KNOWS this. And when Fat Rapin' Grampy hits the deck for the last time, I believe Miller will PANIC, and we WILL get a Haig moment.

His point was to reassure the American public that the government was functioning. He did so in an awkward way, to be sure. There was no time when Haig seized control or intended to seize control.

But can states still bring charges for all the illegal actions taken in their jurisdictions?
