    Oh of course they do 🙄

    Communists? Really? It’s been over 50 years since the Powell memo was released.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_F._Powell_Jr.

    Stop with the flowery language and just come out and say you represent corporate interests, and will ensure anybody who gets in the way of those interests will be labeled either a communist/terrorist/antifa or some kind of combined threat: commterroant

    I feel like we should all stop using the term antifa and demand they stop using the term antifa. Bc they need to be forced to acknowledge in all official documents that their targets are now officially antifascists.

    Oh btw how’s it going prosecuting LITERALLY ANYBODY in the Epstein files? 🦗🦗🦗

    “Look, we live in dangerous times,” Johnson said. “We’re fighting communism on our own shores, and we’re fighting evil terrorists and tyrants around the world, and we have to be able to protect our national security.”

    “Our” national security? No, your national security. I’m the enemy. I’m the one who needs to be eliminated, or otherwise removed from this country, according to you, even though I’m a born and raised American citizen. Fuck your security.

      Fuck, parts of my family have definitely been here longer than most current politician’s families, but apparently I’m a domestic terrorist.

      Just look at the history of red scares. Usually it had very little to do with “Communism”, if anything at all. It was just about the primacy of the xtian taliban.

    Wonder how they’ll get around the Posse Comitatus Act.

    The same way they got around existing law in a number of other cases in the past years: ignoring it, or letting SCOTUS decide that it’s OK. Or claiming “national emergency”.

    Not saying the courts shouldn’t fight back though.

    Also, sheesh, still with the communism? I thought they’d at least switched to socialism. Talk about an all-time classic boogeyman.

      Many in Congress are old enough that McCarthyism still seems like current events.

      They looooove the golden oldies. And their target audience is probably Faux News and the hate radio listener.

      Also, nearly ALL of these assholes equate socialism with communism. And the ones that don’t say they are the same thing will typically claim socialism is a slippery slope straight to Soviet style communism under Stalin.

    Remember that pretty much everything not viewed positively by the Seven Mountain Mandate types was labeled “Communist subversion”: atheism, Teh Ghey, uppity women, civil rights, being anti-war, etc…

    Also, never forget this:

    Little Mikey Johnson is a 7MM type.

      What is a 7mm type? What does that even mean? Is that some kind of mechanics’ joke? Does he prefer smaller rounds than 9mm? Does he like watching seven male-on-male countless couples copulate?
