Couldn’t find much biographical info about her on Wikipedia. Here is the entire contents of the “Personal Life” section of her Wikipedia entry:
Miller is a Baptist
Miller owns a bison farm that she personally managed until she was elected to Congress.
While serving in the House of Delegates, Miller taught a manners class to the elementary schools of Huntington. While doing that, she earned the nickname “Miss Manners”.
Miller’s son, Chris Miller, ran for Governor of West Virginia in the 2024 West Virginia gubernatorial election, running for the term-limited seat of incumbent Jim Justice. He came third in the Republican primary, receiving 20% of the vote.

As if everything is their fault.
Stupid. They just don’pt get it or understand how this works. The second they shut down the gov’t, Trump will just continue to destroy everything and then pivot to blaming the shutdown and say the Dems left him no choice…and yeah, Zombie Fourth Estate will run with it, screeching non-stop about the Dems’ hypocrisy after all the times they blamed the GQP MAGAt KKKult for shutdowns that damaged the gov’t and stopped peoples’ payments, etc. All this will achieve is playing right into the fascists hands.
I’m sorry nobody likes the fucking answer, but the answer is not interfering with the suffering they cause in ways that would help them shift the blame. They’re going to do what they’re doing to do and are making it quite clear that anything the courts say does not matter to them. It would be a gift to them if we muddy the waters by being responsible for a shutdown now. The waters need to stay crystal clear so that there can be no doubt nor argument that they caught the car, they finally got to live out their fantasies with the tailpipe and now all the problems and that horrible stench it’s causing is their faults.
They have to be made to own it. Do NOTHING to interfere with that remaining clear.
It’s not that it matters on the one hand, on the other hand, there’s something very recent in human history of the standoffishness of conversation.
Like we have conversations like I would have out at a bar or restaurant, but lack all of the contextual clues about response/reception/understanding.
Makes it a head-scratcher when sometimes you sound like your avatar and sometimes like 260-lb Bubba out at the range railing about liberals coming for his burgers and guns.
Because, right now, if he goes, JD turns everything over to Elmo and Thiel, so the best protection of our democracy may just be praying for Elmo to be firmly split off from trump and destroyed, then we can discuss the next prayer cycle.
Wasn’t the specific bit I was referring to, but clearly, making any kind of potentially identifying comment has people trying to dig into shit I’m clearly not interested in having a matter of public record.

Fire Island is Fire Island. ‘The Island’ is Long Island east of the Cross-Island, ie: Nassaun & Suffolk. It’s like how ‘the city’ means all of NYC if you’re in Jersey, upstate, or on the Island, but if you’re in the Outer Boroughs, it’s just Manhattan. I’ve never encountered anyone who considers (despite them technically being on Long Island) Brooklyn & Queens ‘the Island’. I can’t even parse how that’d be a Manhattan thing, since Staten Island’s in the mix, too.
I said this after the election in the sense that Dems should not be in the “get along where we can” business. Vote no go home. GO on TV if ya want just to make clear that this the the trump show.
Amen, Tx. TSLA has market value of about $1.2T- it is valued at more than the rest of the auto industry COMBINED. Meanwhile its book value is probably less than $50B, and its P/E is over 100. Its revenues are going down as its models get older and less competitive and its rivals continue to build better, safer and cheaper BEV’s.
The best BEV on the market today is the Cadillac Lyriq which makes the Tesla Model Y look like a hoopdee. Now that GM is ramping up BEV production it is taking Tesla’s sales lead away.
These types of stock equity bubbles have a way of imploding over night. TSLA is a meme stock, dependent on Elon’s persona and his string of lies about self driving AI cars. Given his bad behavior, there are few Tesla prospective customers left who want anything to do with him or his shitty and unsafe hoopdees.
Maybe it’s less about standoffishness and more about being tired of gender-based assumptions. Maybe I’m a post-operative TERF. Maybe I’m fluid. Back in the 1990s, GenX largely rejected labels, because labels are a way to force people into little boxes that they can never escape.
Some of us still do. But I’ll give you this much: My pronouns are ‘I’, ‘Me’, and ‘Fuck You’.
And frankly, the most dangerous person I know is a 4’11" Italian woman that even Bubba out at the range would quickly decide ‘do not fuck w/this one’.
But, you know, Vermont, so I’ll forgive the ‘defaulting to outdated stereotypes’
I think the American Bar Association should announce that they are putting all attorneys that are breaking the laws and not supporting the Constitution on notice. Cease and desist or face debarment or sanctions.
If the material is there to audit. What they are specifically doing is a big question. Are they taking a joyride at our expense, downloading data (which has been reported) and where does that end up. There are no constraints seemingly at the level of even just sysadmin prudence. Unintentional breakage is as big a danger as their intent. I noted before, the instincts of two of them, at their age, is unfettered with emphasis because they are being managed by the wealthiest man on the planet and given their head of steam by the POTUS. Must be a heady experience and they see themselves as some sort of cyber cowboys. Yeehaw!
