    So it starts. If this is successful and he can have them thrown in prison ( most like El Salvador like he wants) then he can disappear anyone who criticize him. We should be worried and fucking storming the fucking capital. Trump and his goons got to go.

      For a long time now, I’ve been worried for all the reporters, comedians, and late night hosts who are speaking out against Trump

    “I don’t even know who that is” clearly means “this person has been living rent free in the forefront of my mind for as long as I can remember”.

    Just throwing this out here to remind people that the Department of Homeland Security, DOJ, and DOD have all made some very alarming threats to employees they believe are speaking to the press. They also seem very eager to remove or weaken civil rights protections for everyone, including American citizens.

    DHS Secretary Noem has complained that offices of civil rights within DHS interfere with the DHS mission on immigration. However, only two of the three offices Noem has attacked, deal with immigration

    The third office is the office of civil rights and liberties within the DHS, and applies to all civil rights issues regardless of immigration or citizenship status.

    Noem’s attacks against Civil Rights Offices within DHS were made following statements that she plans to use polygraphs on ICE employees

    You should be aware that many current ICE employees are federal employees who were removed from previous positions and have been diverted to ICE.

    Diversion of federal employees is seen by many as a highly politicized move that first began in early February and seemed to be a blatant act of retaliation for January 6th investigations. Like a punishment for federal employees that they couldn’t force to quit or legally fire.

    Despite the fact that polygraphs are known to have high false positives rates, Noem said she plans to use polygraphs to root out individuals leaking information to the press. Noem’s threat was followed by similar threats made against employees of the Dept. of Justice and Dept. of Defense.

    Basically they are trying to crack down on dissent. Federal employees are witnessing them violate the law from the inside, and trying to warn the country what they are doing. If anyone should be charged with treason it should be the people actively dismantling democracy. Unfortunately, those are also the people who run the same country they are trying to destroy.

    Big words coming from a man of treason. Guess he knows he’s a traitor, given he projects everything.

    Calling me an idiot? Treason.

    Selling classified information to a foreign government? Well that’s just good business.

    Once again, they claim that something is “all lies” and “complete fiction” while simultaneously claiming that it is classified information… Which is it? They can’t have it both ways. This is pure fascism. How are people so blind.

    See y’all in Valhalla or CECOT.

    May the gods have mercy on our souls.
