The commander of the arm of the U.S. military responsible for Donald Trump’s illegal military occupations of American cities said he is willing to conduct attacks on so-called designated terrorist organizations within the U.S.
This startling admission comes after months of extrajudicial killings of alleged members or affiliates of DTOs in the waters near Venezuela, which experts and lawmakers say are outright murders.
Gen. Gregory Guillot’s sopenness about the potential for unprecedented military action within U.S. borders comes as the White House, Pentagon, and Justice Department continue to refuse to rule out summary executions of Americans on Trump’s secret enemies list, after weeks of requests for clarifications from The Intercept.
“Designated” in what way?
IIRC, Trump just designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization despite the fact that it has never committed terrorism and it is not an organization.
This is just carte blanche to murder any political opposition.
Did anybody else interpret Trump’s messages about Rob Reiner’s murder as the same as when a terrorist organization takes credit for an attack? If anything actually deserves to be designated as a terrorist organization, it’s MAGA.
My first impression reading his bizarre comment was that Trump believed a MAGA cultist killed the Reiners for their politics, and he was happy about that and taking credit for what happened. Basically, “look what happens to meddlesome priests”.
I guess its probably too soon or insensitive to ask what his son’s politics were but I’m doing it. The Reiners were supposed to meet with President and Mrs. Obama later that night so their argument that led to the murders being about politics doesn’t seem completely impossible.
There has apparently been an argument at a party the night before at Conan O’Brien’s.
Rob had scolded or said something to his son, but also as stated elsewhere, Nick had multiple drug problems for years including rehab and homelessness. It’s too bad that he hadn’t had more therapy to help him, especially since his family could have afforded the best care.
Yes, he was telling Maga he likes that and wants more
Given that “domestic terrorist organization” is a term that has no legislative or legal meaning and was literally just a made up category for Trump to put “antifa” into, it seems like this general is actually answering that question for us.
There is exactly ONE “designated terrorist organization” in the United States and its “Antifa” and the mechanism for this designation is that Trump decided it.
He is happy to deploy the military specifically to target any group identified by Donald Trump as his personal opposition.
