“This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.” – Gov. J.B. Pritzker

  1. I'm hoping that Miller reacts to being called a "complicit lackey" by rage-ranting that HE is the one in charge and giving the orders. That might give people in the military grounds to begin refusing those orders.

  2. Trump seems to think he can fire people at will, sign executive orders that are meaningless and use the military to control citizens. None of these things are legal and Trump must be made aware of these actions and overreach.

  3. tRump can’t win legitimately so Putin, Vought, Miller,& Vance have directed him to conquer the U.S. Understand this is a slow walk civil war toward one man rule. It’s those who don’t give a damn about the Constitution & the Rule of Law against those who cherish them.

    Steven Miller reminds me of Joseph Goebbels , well without Goebbels charm or good looks. Jokes aside , Miller is an evil POS , even his own family wants nothing to do with him. He is everything that is wrong with this government . I feel he may be the one really running things.

  5. Pritzker is stating the obvious: when those in power plot to undermine democracy, it’s not a partisan debate—it’s an existential threat. Vigilance and accountability are the only safeguards.

  7. I’m not sure what the idiots in Congress or the SCOTUS think they are doing, but we are heading to violence! And, it WILL BE ON THEM!! Do the people’s work, not Trump’s! My god, school kids can see how ignorant you are. The world definitely does. Embarrassing!

  8. Glad Miller, the creator of the ICE GESTAPO, the architect of family separations and CRUELTY gets credit for his destruction of our democracy!

  9. The National Guard, ICE and their bandits for hire are going to FAFO that New York City and Chicago don’t play those games.

  10. We are living through a comic book and it’s beyond obvious who the evil guys are in it.

    Trump, Miller and all their loyalists are traitors to our democracy. And if this continues, it’ll be lost forever.

    Remove the cancer of Trump and MAGA.

  14. The relentless treason practised without compunction by 47 et al and the Republicans on a daily basis cannot be denied or ignored any longer if your democracy is to survive. The 1866 ruling of the (uncompromised) Supreme Court is still in place today. Same unequivocally states that neither the 1/

  16. Trump will bring the entire Rublican party down with him but what is more peculiar is Stephen Miller will bring Trump down and straight to prison.

  19. It's time to acknowledge that moron Trump isn't in control. Stephen (Voldemort) Miller is clearly running the show together with JD(really creepy guy) Vance. I don't think many Americans would like to hear that Miller is their unelected president?

  20. You bet. DJT is their tool but will soon be useless no matter how hard SM & others try to prop him up.

  21. BTW, with this flag burning order by Trump, which has already been heard by SCOTUS a time ago as freedom of expression and ideas now superseding SCOTUS, a declaration by Trump he's even above SCOTUS and they're irrelevant!

  22. The leader led fascist soft coup succeeded because Dem leaders upheld the traitor leaders as fit to lead.

    & it's not just fascist leaders, it's also fascist citizens who plotted & implemented the coup.

    Plus, Americans praised Biden Admin, as I watched Biden walk USA into the hands of traitors.

  24. This speech will go down in history as one of the most incredible push backs of this administration. We agree wholeheartedly Governor Pritzker.

  25. Let's call him President Stephen Miller, so Trump can get in his feelings, and get rid of old boy Stephen.

  28. This is about the President of the United States avoiding questions about what he did with those kids, when he flew to Epstein's Paedo island 37 times!

    Its just that the Dems dont know how to take the gloves off!

  29. Stephen Miller is a stinking Jew...! ROFL, no, I don't mean it as Jew haters do. I mean that as a FELLOW JEW, Stephen Miller stinks on ice, trashing one Jewsh moral value after another. If he can so blithely attack his own moral tradtition, NOBODY should trust him. He's a MAGA Jew!

  32. Stephen Miller will go to jail when this is all over. He will be banned from any peace living nation. He will be exposed as the racist bully that he is. Here will be erased.

  34. For way too long - millions of good people have not seen what’s Coming. So many think Trump’s lack of intelligence will prevent Dictatorship! Although a Fool, it is Trump’s Dream.

    ALONE, trump is no danger. BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE!!

    BEHIND The Fool - Powerful Players are Working on The Dictatorship

  35. This is just one of many reasons people need to be able to criticize the government. There needs to be permanent safeguards to civil rights and power grabs. I don't know how there are no job requirements to be a president. Why are convicted felons able to have a nuclear arsenal but not a gun?

  36. I'm leaning toward the view that it's Trump who is the real lackey. Given Trump's dementia he couldn't lay the groundwork for an extra helping of mashed potatoes.

  37. Miller is a lackey he is a 'deputy' HIS boss is Russell Vought who gives him orders. and writes Executive Orders And wrote project 2025

  38. I suspect Stephem Miller is president for domestic terrorism, subversion of democracy and overthrow racism Trump is just the empty vessel into which Miller pours hate which flows out of Trump's mouth or the pen with which he signs executive orders.

  39. Miller is no lackey. With Trump in serious decline, Miller’s running the show.

  40. Please never, ever forget it is also about the writers of the manifesto of hatred toward the United States, our Republic anf the American people writ large: The Heritage Foundation. Project 2025 is their roadmap to our destruction & they are following it faithfully.

  41. Pritzker’s warning is spot on when leaders frame authoritarian power grabs as ‘law and order,’ it erodes democratic norms piece by piece. We should take these words seriously before they become reality.✍🏻

  42. "Mental incapacitation," I believe he said. It was a highlight of my day.

    Finally someone said it out loud to a microphone and a camera. Trump is decompensating, and the people around him are cowardly and corrupt AF. JD Vance and everyone in that room today deserves all the humiliation.

  43. All due respect to Gov. Pritzger, but he's got the pecking order backwards

    Throw in Russell Vought, Laura Loomer, and Vladimir Putin and you got the whole chicken coop.
