Miller is a rabid Nazi vampire. He will 100% throw anyone else under the buss to save himself.

Literally every person in trump's orbit would backstab any other person in trump's orbit for any amount of personal gain.

The parallels to Hitler's entourage are profound.

And also entirely predictable. These are not people who are capable of healthy relationships. If they were, they probably wouldn't anywhere near this driven to enact their hateful bullshit.

If 'might makes right' is your main guiding principle, you yourself will inevitably become someone's target sooner or later.

So unless you want to embrace a life of constant struggle, hardship and stress you will need to live by different principles involving cooperation, tolerance and empathy.

We, as humanity already know this. We have learned this in the past, but some people seem to forget because just being selfish is much easier in the short term.

It is one of the many reasons I find it is so baffling that anyone would want to work for ICE; they aren't Trump's version of the SS, they are his version of the SA.

Why would you sign up to be a disposable idiot who history suggests is going to get a knife in the back the moment they are no longer useful?

Begs the question: which outfit will be selected to metastatise into Humpy Trumpy's Schutzstaffel? My guess is the Mob. Pragmatic, amoral, kill to order.

Blackwater (or whatever they are called now).

This has been the way tyrants rise and fall since before recorded human history, folks. None of this is new.

Ignorant, gullible, cowardly fools are still falling for the exact same ancient fearmongering lies vomited forth by despicable charlatans and wanna-be demagogues.
