The Atlantic Oct 2025 Top Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/10/trump-officials-military-housing-stephen-miller/684748/

snip of article:

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.

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.

Stephen Miller is a coward!!!!

10. They only stopped because they were staring down the rifle barrels of American GIs.

Or had their cities nuked to hell and back.

And even then they came back 80 years later stronger than ever.

I may or may not live to see it. I’m somewhat confident I will see Trump’s final day on the planet.

It will end for the time being one way or the other.

But I believe that good vs evil is the iconic human condition.
It will always be with us.

remove the lines between civilian law enforcement and regular military so the mad king can control them all
move your inner circle to military bases
build your mad king a fuhrerbunker
replace independent high ranking officials with totalitarian style political officers
fabricate wars and civil war
declare martial law

Voila!
