Stephen Miller is not a religious thought leader

He is not, in fact, any sort of thought leader unless your thoughts are Hate Immigrants! Kill The Untermenschen!

Nevertheless he recently declared that God wanted the Toddler in office for our 250th celebration. To which I reply:

1)Lots of Republicans said exactly that about W during his first term and he didn’t turn America into a shining city on the hill. Hell, his eight years ended up so dreadful (the housing bubble, 9/11, the senseless invasion of Iraq for non-existent WMDs, the FEMA failure in Hurricane Katrina) even Republicans try to pretend he didn’t exist.

2)Let us assume Miller is right and God wanted the Toddler in office this year. So? If God is the all-powerful arbiter of human events (as opposed to letting us exercise free will) then presumably he did — and he also wanted Biden in office in 2020 (otherwise the Toddler wouldn’t be eligible to run in 2024). And for that matter must have decreed W, Obama and Clinton step into the Oval Office. So the Toddler President isn’t anything special.

3)Alternatively let’s assume he is indeed special. Again, so? God scourged Israel with endless conquerors and bad kings — who’s to say the Toddler is a blessing rather than a curse?

I’m sure some of y’all aren’t God-believers but even for those who are, Miller’s logic is — well, he doesn’t have any.
