I wondered who was Flattop in this dick Tracy dystopia.
Well, we know what’s next. Political opponents being arrested or sent to jail. Better act quick Democrats, your days are numbered if (when) this nutjob gets the green light from Trump. It’s not like the courts will do anythhing to stop him, so…
White House counterterror czar Sebastian Gorka said today that Americans who are not on board with the Trump administration’s immigration policy are “on the side of terrorists."
“It’s really quite that simple,” Gorka said in a little-noticed interview with Newsmax. “We have people who love America, like the president, like his cabinet, like the directors of his agencies, who want to protect Americans. And then there is the other side, that is on the side of the cartel members, on the side of the illegal aliens, on the side of the terrorists.”
Amusingly, it sounds kind of like there are some questions about Gorka’s own immigration status. Under Afroyim v. Rusk, the government cannot strip an American citizen’s citizenship:

Holding
Congress has no power under the Constitution to revoke a person’s U.S. citizenship unless he voluntarily relinquishes it.
However, this is predicated upon the citizenship being having been validly-granted in the first place. If the citizenship is later discovered to have been granted dependent upon false representations being made to naturalization, the government can strip it as never having been validly granted in the first place.

Gorka was born in the United Kingdom to Hungarian parents, lived in Hungary from 1992 to 2008, and in 2012 became a naturalized American citizen.

As it turned out, Gorka was, apparently, a sworn member of Hungary’s neo-Nazi Vitezi Rend, or “Order of Heroes,” a group that the State Department says was “under the direction of the Nazi Government of Germany during World War II” and which continues to be neo-Nazi in its orientation.
Gorka only became an American citizen in 2012, and membership should have disqualified him not only from citizenship, but even from entering the United States in the first place.
Failure to disclose membership in Hungarian anti-Semitic organization could invalidate Dr. Gorka’s U.S. immigration status
WASHINGTON—U.S. Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), and Ben Cardin (D-MD) today called on the Departments of Homeland Security and Justice to investigate whether senior White House counterterrorism advisor Dr. Sebastian Gorka falsified his U.S. naturalization application by failing to disclose his membership in a Hungarian neo-Nazi organization.
According to the Forward, leaders of the Historical Vitézi Rend have identified Dr. Gorka as a member of the organization who took a “lifelong oath of loyalty.”
“We note that this Administration has expressed a special interest in ensuring that those with extremist views do not exploit our immigration laws,” the senators wrote. “We are deeply concerned by reports that Dr. Gorka concealed the material fact of his membership in the Vitézi Rend, a far-right anti-Semitic Hungarian organization, when he applied for U.S. citizenship.”
Well we all know that nothing will happen about him
