I’ve never seen a set of voluntary fall guys like Noem, Patel and Miller. (And Hegseth for when a military operation fails.)

Every one is a potential fall guy except the King. First sign you're a liability and under the bus you go. And unless you're on Truth Social you're usually the last to know.

Miller is not the fall guy. The other clowns, yes, but not him. He's the most hard-core fascist in the bunch.

  • I don't know if I'd classify Noem as a patsy or fall gal, either.

    When you mention an anecdote about shooting a hunting dog in your autobiography, that shows something beyond just being a "true believer" or stooge. That is willingly pointing out that you are willing to act out your lack of empathy through violence towards an animal.

    I'm not a clinician (and haven't met Noem) but that just seems to me to be something indicative of a personality disorder.

    • Noem strikes me as a loyalist and a team player through and through, so probably a fall gal.

      Miller is different. He has his own agenda, a lot of which has becomes trumps agenda. But trumps agenda changing does not change what Miller’s agenda is.

    • She's complaining (via 'sources') that she's 'being hung to try' for parroting Stephen Miller's approved line, so I have a hunch she'll bite their ankles on the way out.

    • She's an opportunist. For someone like her to be nationally relevant they have to latch onto MAGA and embrace the crazy. See MTG, Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz.

    He’s going to jail in a way Trump isn’t. That’s ultimately a fall guy.

  • That's because miller is the only "smart" one to never defy trump. Of course, that means being his lap dog, but that's the position he chose.
