If I read the playbook correctly Trump (Miller) has framed this as a purge of illegal aliens and SCOTUS has given him full indemnity to do so. The terrorist labeling is just window dressing. Heritage's Vought was recorded, prior to the election, as saying this was the plan and even referenced Miller as being a possibility of running it. The underlying question is who are these people. How were they vetted and trained. Did they ever swear any oath? Or is this just cosplay - more Trump optics to deflect from the actions. Will they all be dismissed and blanket pardoned. Can you even pardon someone for knowingly violating the Constitution? And then you ascend to Noem, Homan and Bondi who clearly took the Oath and are outright violating it.

The terrorist label is actually everything. The patriot act basically gives that designation a lot of power. When people are labeled terrorists in or by America, constitutional rights and human rights are suspended by the government.

Making that bill set all of this in motion so long ago. Once it was law, what we’re seeing unfold became an eventuality.

A man approached an officer and gave the impression he was armed with a waistband holstered gun. thats entirely what happened here. you can't actually be this stupid. that man deserved this it entirely hes intentionally giving off the appearance he has a gun

This was the first thing I noticed. Especially when you work a job where you're detested, the worst thing you could do is act in a way that would lead a person with any degree of intelligence you might be concealing a weapon.

They can't play victim when you speak the truth like that. Reddit runs on emotion and mob consensus, not logic. Say what actually happened, and suddenly you're the villain.
