The Trump administration is drawing up “secret lists of terrorist groups inside the United States,” Senator Elissa Slotkin said on the floor of Congress yesterday — the first such reference to the effects of National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7). The directive, as I’ve reported, lays out Donald Trump’s policies with regard to equating “anti-Christian” and “anti-capitalist”…
…
“The Trump administration define[s] domestic terrorism incredibly broadly,” Slotkin said. “It suggests that any group that talks about anti-Christian values, views they don’t like on migration or race, differing views on the role of the family, religion, or morality could all be grounds for labelling an organization as domestic terrorists.”
oh is this different from the enemies list they openly talk about? i don’t need democrats warning me about things, they walked us into this fucking mess
Oh my, is that Senator Elissa Slotkin, “former” CIA Agent, from this famously disastrous interview? Well I’m sure a “former” CIA Agent would know a thing or two about compiling dossiers on American Citizens.
That interview reminded me of Ritchie Torres on Adam Friesland’s show: starts out saying some reasonable-sounding things, but becomes completely paralyzed when questioned about Israel and can only trot out the vaguest, most noncommittal verbiage while ducking the main point every time. It’s a very bad look.
Indeed it is, but fear not, for it’s only because they’re very bad powerful people defending a very bad evil society. Oh, perhaps some fear is warranted then…
She is such a massive disappointment.
Disappointment is such a kind understatement for what she is.
No one cares, especially the USA citizens. If they really cared Trump would be out yesterday.
I really hope that all this bullshit shows just how bad many ‘anti-terrorism’ laws were and see them all be repealed.
I wrote an angry text to one of my MAGA senators while really high. I fully expect to be on a list.
If there are protestors or critics that is even more reason a good president should be listening to their concerns, even if he doesn’t agree with them. Not trying to make enemies out of them.
Like the entire voter registry of democrats?
What good is a “watchlist” if its 80+ million names long?
It’s fine, they’ll start crossing off names until it is a manageable.
They already have the camps and a secret police. All they need now is the Zyklon B to start really crossing off names.
Secretly, Americans have been developing a watch on trump.
I assume no one in the Trump admin knows wtf Lemmy is, so we’re safe here maybe.
Watch dez nuts bitches.
Jesus said that if someone asks for your coat, you should give your cloak to them also. IDK guys, that sounds pretty anti-capitalist to me.
I have lists of lists. We have the best lists there are!
This “presidency” is reading like a comic book storyline. Maybe I should re-watch Camptain America: Winter Soldier.
“Senators warn…” Do something!
Yeah you’re the most powerful piece of the government. Lay it all out and impeach
Impeach? Like they already did twice? They are warning us because they know the mechanisms of accountability are not within their reach.
