Stephen Miller has erupted at “blatant jury nullification” after a Los Angeles tow truck driver was acquitted of stealing an ICE vehicle in the latest embarrassment for Donald Trump’s Justice Department.

Bobby Nuñez, 33, was charged with theft of government property after towing away a locked ICE SUV—with its keys and firearm secured inside—during a chaotic immigration arrest in downtown Los Angeles on Aug. 15.

Video from the scene showed federal agents chasing the truck as it pulled away, before arresting Nuñez and leading him away in handcuffs.

Good, throw that tantrum hard.

And I hope the acquitted man sues for wrongful prosecution.

Herr Mueller pouts when he doesn't get his way.

I feast on his puerile anger.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 10 points 8 months ago

More pouty Stephen Miller, please.

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 10 points 8 months ago

I am waiting for Stephan Miller to be towed away...

Miller really leads into the comically evil look.
as to “blatant jury nullification”

Well its not illegal. So he can take "blatant" and shove it up his rear. It should be used more often, considerinbg the shitty state the court system is in and the hand he had in making it so bad. He really needs to shut his stupid piehole.

Stephen Miller, you are absolutely unlovable, aren't you? But that's just you, you don't want a hug, you want your pants around your ankles in front of a thousand ovens ablaze.

The world will be much better when your kilogram and a half of potassium is returned to agriculture.

Stephen Miller only melts down. That's his default mode.

That guys inner monologue must be the most pitiful shit.

I am pretty sure tow truck drivers have pretty wide-ranging immunity from vehicular theft charges. After all, most of their business consists of unauthorized disappearing of other people's vehicles.

I wonder how often these spurious prosecutions are just tax-payer funded revenge fantasies against people that have slighted these officials.

Minus the black hair die.

[-] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 7 points 8 months ago

Here's our "in".

Everybody get tow trucks.

When the people get out, the ICE car gets towed.

Nowhere to go, nowhere to hike.

He's a shitbag.

Get fucked, shitlord.

Stay sad.

That thumbnail is chef's kiss good

[-] blattrules@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

If I had a nickel for every time he has “melted down…”

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago

It’s one of the few times that it isn’t a media exaggeration though. This guy really does have frequent toddler-style whining yelling meltdowns. It’s really funny to watch the videos.

I imagine that even the people that are on his side ideologically - maybe even right there in the room when he's making one of his little podium-pounding speeches - are laughing at him behind his back.

He has so much "do you know who my Daddy is?" energy. I knew so many little twerps like this in school.

I'm thinking this guy didn't get punched right in his face enough times when he was growing up (or maybe not ever) - he was probably always mouthing off but maybe never had to cash a check that his big mouth was writing.
