There is no photo today. My post is about the loathsome Stephen Miller and I can't bring myself to even look at his ghoulish alien-like face.
This is one of those “parents’ worst nightmares” scenarios. What if you were the parents of one of the kids that shot all those people in Columbine? Or any other senseless school shooting? Or was part of the Manson family? How would it feel to know your son or daughter was responsible for the death of innocent people? How do you live that down? How do you face people? How do you sleep? How do you look anyone in the eye? You can get all the therapy in the world but the blood is still indirectly on your hands. You brought a certified monster into the world. Maybe not your intent but that is the result.
Or how would you like to be the parents of Stephen Miller, the despicable Nazi chief aide to our degenerate president? White-supremacist Miller, most recently was on Fox News basically inciting violence with his baseless claims that Trump will still win re-election. There was already pro-Trump violence last weekend in Washington DC where four people were stabbed and one was shot.
Fox News should be ashamed for even giving him airtime, but Fox News is to real news what urine is to fine wine.
I ask these questions because I know Stephen Miller’s parents. At one time, over 30 years ago, we were friends with them. I was at Stephen Miller’s bris. (If I only knew then, I would have paid the mohel to cut his dick off.)
We had a falling out with the Millers in the late 80’s and haven’t spoken to them since. I was flabbergasted to learn a few years ago that the Stephen Miller trying to destroy immigration was “that” Stephen Miller. I mean, it is a rather common name. There's a rock band by that name, for God sakes! Stephen’s father was an attorney who got involved in some questionable real estate dealings. As a result they had to sell their larger home in Santa Monica for a more modest one and poor privileged Stephen had to go to public school at Santa Monica High, which had a very diverse population. It was probably there where Miller developed his hateful worldview. I assume he was beaten up a lot (or at least I hope he was). But his warped take on the world, wrapped in hate, went against everything his Jewish upbringing stood for. His father was very involved in Jewish affairs at one time. How does he reconcile that?
We know how his uncle reconciled it. He went public denouncing Stephen, calling him an “immigration hypocrite” and a menace.
As I said, I haven’t spoken to his parents in years. I don’t know what I’d say to them. But I wonder, why don’t THEY tell him to stop spreading malicious lies that are only meant to destroy our democracy? Why don’t THEY implore him to not encourage violence? For God sakes, his mother used to be a social worker.
I don’t know. Maybe they have (or at least his mother has). Maybe they’ve been trying for years. Or maybe they too now have consumed the Kool-Aid. In any event, if you create a monster and don’t try to stop the monster, then you become a monster yourself.
My heart wants to go out to them. It really does. As a parent, I can’t imagine the pain and burden they must carry and will never live down. But then I see that smarmy Stephen Miller get on national television with the express purpose of poisoning minds and tearing apart the very foundation of this nation and I say “Fuck them all.”
