Do I like Trump’s political supercharging of this easily abused process? Not at all. Are congressional reforms needed? You bet.
Even so, you and Dave’s “jackbooted stormtrooper fucking Gestapo” comments make you both look like idiots. Historically illiterate fools. Write a short paragraph about the Gestapo’s actual enforcement from arrest to execution and get back to me. And don’t play the “I was exaggerating to make a point” card unless you want me to start calling you Donald. Both of you.
Relative to US norms, they are acting like a Gestapo security police force. I didn't know it at the time, but Joe Rogan yesterday made the same comparison.
Do you really think this is only about immigration enforcement? A masked armed force that now goes after
protesters? Did you sleep through Trumps first term when he asked Gen Milley to use the military on
protesters? When he asked about firing live rounds into
protesters??
Trump was rebuffed last time from doing it. He won't be stopped this time if the events and trends of the past month are any indication.
I'll repeat what I've told you before, you have been so emerged in a normal system for so long, you can't conceive of an extreme outcome - you may be right that it won't happen, but you are 100% wrong that it can't happen.
