      Yeah, me thinks the lady doth protesteth too much.

      I’m not going to read this article because I like to minimize the amount of Stephen Miller in my life, but I’m just going to assume that they’re referring to sex dolls.

    I haven’t heard this one, but if the white house has to come out with a statement, I have to assume he plays with dolls.

    Of all the things one could find fault with Miller, porcelain dolls are not even on my list. A man who openly stated that he would have red states send their National Guards into uncooperative blue states without permission, and folks are talking about whether or not he has what sounds like an innocuous if not unusual hobby.

      Interestingly enough, it’s the attacks like this (similar to Waltz’s “weird” messaging) that actually get under fascists’ skin. It undermines their (let’s face it, performative) masculinity, which undermines their perceived power, and that is everything to them.

      Miller wants to be seen as Big Strong Cowboy ManTM. Playing with dolls destroys that image. Porcelain dolls drops a Fatboy on that image.

      I’ve always been kinda torn on making fun of fascists for that sort of thing, because I personally don’t care whether or not he plays with porcelain dolls but I know he and his supporters A LOT.

        I treat it as pointing out the hypocrisy. If you want to do it in a non-derogatory way, you can be overly supportive of his hobby and how he sets an example that men, too, can play with dolls. The more you double down on that, the more it’ll piss off the assholes.

    Miller “liked to play with porcelain dolls.”

    Not even like a GI Joe or a respectable Barbie doll? SMH

    Well, I’ve never thought about it until now but I’ve never been more sure that he has regular tea parties with a doll collection.

        But deporting them is too much trouble! We should put them in concentration camps!

        And when there are less of them we can fill the empty spots with other subhumans who give us trouble! Yay! /s

      I wouldnt be surprised, hes very self-conscious, he dyed his SCALP to make it look like he had hair once, until people called out how silly he looks.

    Nah, they haven’t accused Democrats of playing with dolls so this is probably fake.

    Trump’s biographer Michael Wolff previously said on The Daily Beast Podcast that the president has a less-than-flattering nickname for one of his most loyal henchmen: “Weird Stephen.”

    Honestly, even with his brain mostly rotted away now, little glimpses of Trump’s idiot-savant ability to bully at a grandmaster level can still shine through sometimes.
