IN RACE FOR “WORLD’S BIGGEST BASTARD,” STEPHEN MILLER’S STAR CONTINUES TO RISE

The architect of Trump’s family-separation policy reportedly killed a deal to pay for mental health services for all the kids he f—ked up
One of the most evil policies from the uniquely evil Trump administration was that of separating families at the border, including those with children who were actual infants. That policy somehow got a boost in monstrousness last month when it was reported that the government couldn’t find the parents of 545 separated kids, a horrifying situation that Donald Trump responded to by noting that children who may never be reunited with their parents are “so well taken care of” and are “in facilities that are so clean.” And while it would be difficult to top that, somehow the White House and allegedly its resident sadist, Stephen Miller, have risen to the occasion.

NBC News reports that the White House stopped the Justice Department from striking a deal in October 2019 to pay for mental health services for the migrant families the Trump administration had separated, according to two current and two former senior administration officials. Sources said that the decision was made by the Office of White House Counsel after it consulted with Miller, a senior adviser and the architect of Trump’s barbaric immigration policies. “DOJ strongly, and unanimously, supported the settlement, but not all agencies involved were on the same page,” an administration official told NBC News. “Ultimately, the settlement was declined at the direction of the White House counsel’s office.” Said another: “Ultimately, it was Stephen who prevailed. He squashed it.”

Which of our allies will have the honor of indicting this devil first?
