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.”

      Perhaps a problem is that nobody is surprised anymore.

      If you dont jump when a loud noise goes off anymore, you might not get out of the way of what makes it.

      Maybe fake it til you make it. Act shocked about it and tell coworkers that you’re terrified.

      Or just read one of the forefathers’ diaries, see if they managed to articulate the tipping point that began the slope towards revolution and attempt to replicate it?

      (I’m speaking generally about this situation, I’m not an american either)

    They might be shocked to learn that there is a list of government officials/employees that the Citizens are watching.

      Some go to the “Sanctuary District”, some just get zapped to trigger the poisonous tech in the jabs, some get zapped from the sky…

      Orrrrrr, we mend this. Change the ride, to a better world. We’ve so much headroom without the crooks’ ploys. No cull necessary.

    Slotkin is an AIPAC ghoul that the Dems have been trying to push lately as the “hot new star” as a replacement for Kamala. Would t be surprised is she runs in 2028.

    I had just assumed that the NSA and FBI were already doing that, or will Trump’s list be a different, more incompetent one?
