So, he doesn’t play with dolls while he’s on the Hill.

Got it.

"It's called action figures"

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

They're collectables!

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

The fact that this administration denied it, tells me it's 110% TRUE.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, me thinks the lady doth protesteth too much.

I'm not going to read this article because I like to minimize the amount of Stephen Miller in my life, but I'm just going to assume that they're referring to sex dolls.

Heh I think they're referring to regular dolls. I bet he dresses em nice and has tea parties.

[–] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago

I bet he has a race car bed, too.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 32 points 7 hours ago

I haven't heard this one, but if the white house has to come out with a statement, I have to assume he plays with dolls.

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 hours ago

Nah, they haven't accused Democrats of playing with dolls so this is probably fake.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 18 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

Of all the things one could find fault with Miller, porcelain dolls are not even on my list. A man who openly stated that he would have red states send their National Guards into uncooperative blue states without permission, and folks are talking about whether or not he has what sounds like an innocuous if not unusual hobby.

Interestingly enough, it's the attacks like this (similar to Waltz's "weird" messaging) that actually get under fascists' skin. It undermines their (let's face it, performative) masculinity, which undermines their perceived power, and that is everything to them.

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 hours ago

Miller wants to be seen as Big Strong Cowboy Man^TM^. Playing with dolls destroys that image. Porcelain dolls drops a Fatboy on that image.

[–] Archelon@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I’ve always been kinda torn on making fun of fascists for that sort of thing, because I personally don’t care whether or not he plays with porcelain dolls but I know he and his supporters A LOT.

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 3 points 3 hours ago

I treat it as pointing out the hypocrisy. If you want to do it in a non-derogatory way, you can be overly supportive of his hobby and how he sets an example that men, too, can play with dolls. The more you double down on that, the more it'll piss off the assholes.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 17 points 7 hours ago

But what if, now hear me out, we make fun of him in whatever way will make him miserable.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 10 points 7 hours ago

Space Balls

[–] art@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Miller “liked to play with porcelain dolls.”

Not even like a GI Joe or a respectable Barbie doll? SMH

[–] captain_oni@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

That sounds like serial killer behavior, ngl.

[–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 14 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I don't kink shame. Some people consider their Real Dolls their girlfriends.

[–] figjam@midwest.social 13 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Actually, they are called Genestealers and they are the noble resistance heroes of the setting.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 5 points 3 hours ago

Yes, Inquisitor. This one right here. They won't stop talking about the Four Arm Emperor and the Star Gods.

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 2 points 3 hours ago

Upvoted for absolute heresy.

[–] Mamdani_Da_Savior@lemmy.world 12 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I heard Stephen Miller loves dolls

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

As much as vance loves couches

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 9 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Welp, i don't except grown-up things coming from this government anyway.

I'm not talking about the "playing with dolls" part but that it is such an issue. Btw, i do play dolls with my 3 years old niece.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 3 hours ago

Real men will play with dolls cause their comfortable in their masculinity.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 9 hours ago

I've also heard that Pete Hegseth doesn't use rose-scented skin lotion, and Marco Rubio doesn't like long bubble baths with a glass of wine.

[–] renrenPDX@lemmy.world 41 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

OK South Park, you know what to do!

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 15 hours ago

I see your schwartz is as big as mine!

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 160 points 18 hours ago (2 children)
[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 15 points 9 hours ago

What did you see?

I definitely didn't see you playing with your dolls, again!

[–] Lon3star@lemmy.world 32 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Nailed my immediate thought

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 34 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

So lon3star now you see evil will always win because good is dumb

[–] Lon3star@lemmy.world 14 points 16 hours ago

He's not totally wrong

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 31 points 15 hours ago

that's really weird.

I was talking with someone yesterday and we wondered,

#where are the Epstein files?

[–] SarcasticMan@lemmy.world 20 points 15 hours ago

Sounds like something someone who plays with dolls would say.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 101 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Well, I've never thought about it until now but I've never been more sure that he has regular tea parties with a doll collection.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 11 points 15 hours ago

I wouldnt be surprised, hes very self-conscious, he dyed his SCALP to make it look like he had hair once, until people called out how silly he looks.

[–] mcbenavides85@piefed.social 39 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

You’re right Polly Prissy Pants. We should deport all the brown people!

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 hours ago

I agree, Clyde Frog! Send em to Alligator Auschwitz!

Trump’s biographer Michael Wolff previously said on The Daily Beast Podcast that the president has a less-than-flattering nickname for one of his most loyal henchmen: “Weird Stephen.”

Honestly, even with his brain mostly rotted away now, little glimpses of Trump's idiot-savant ability to bully at a grandmaster level can still shine through sometimes.

I'm starting to think this Miller guy plays with dolls.

Wow, so Stephen Miller plays with dolls? That's weird.

[–] BenLeMan@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, just like JD Vance doesn't "play" with couches. 😄
