Amazing.....fascism in 2019 in the United States
One of the few silver linings to come from the current US presidency and government are the numerous leaks courtesy of people who actually are bold and care and/or have different agenda than the ones being currently pursued.
[INSERT USELESS RAMBLING ABOUT ELECTED DEMOCRATICALLY AND CHECKS AND BALANCES HERE]Can I call him a fascist yet, or is that still too "hyperbolic"?
stuff like this legitimately make me wonder what will be the final straw that make the GOP say "okay, even for us this is fucked, lets work on getting him impeached"
Unless Trump's base of fanatics turns on him (they won't), there IS no straw. None whatsoever.stuff like this legitimately make me wonder what will be the final straw that make the GOP say "okay, even for us this is fucked, lets work on getting him impeached"
Cratering poll numbers would break Trump's hold on the GOP. But I can't think of anything that would drop his numbers below 30% so It's a moot point.Nothing. Literally. He has to be voted out. That is 100% all there is to it.

These American photojournalists and attorneys said they suspected the U.S. government was monitoring them closely but until now, they couldn't prove it.
Now, documents leaked to NBC 7 Investigates show their fears weren't baseless. In fact, their own government had listed their names in a secret database of targets, where agents collected information on them. Some had alerts placed on their passports, keeping at least three photojournalists and an attorney from entering Mexico to work.
The documents were provided to NBC 7 by a Homeland Security source on the condition of anonymity, given the sensitive nature of what they were divulging.
The source said the documents or screenshots show a SharePoint application that was used by agents from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the U.S. Border Patrol, Homeland Security Investigations and some agents from the San Diego sector of the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI).
The intelligence gathering efforts were done under the umbrella of "Operation Secure Line," the operation designated to monitor the migrant caravan, according to the source.
The documents list people who officials think should be targeted for screening at the border.
The individuals listed include ten journalists, seven of whom are U.S. citizens, a U.S. attorney, and 47 people from the U.S. and other countries, labeled as organizers, instigators or their roles "unknown." The target list includes advocates from organizations like Border Angels and Pueblo Sin Fronteras.
The documents are titled "San Diego Sector Foreign Operations Branch: Migrant Caravan FY-2019, Suspected Organizers, Coordinators, Instigators and Media" and are dated January 9, 2019.
Emblazoned on it are the American and Mexican flags, with a banner that reads: "ILU-OASSIS-OMEGA." An official at the Department of Homeland Security said the seal indicates that the documents are a product of the International Liaison Unit (ILU), which coordinates intelligence between Mexico and the United States.
CBP's full statement claims that "criminal events" is what triggered the closer monitoring: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5759650-CBP-Full-Statement.html
In addition to flagging the individuals for secondary screenings, the Homeland Security source told NBC 7 that the agents also created dossiers on each person listed.
"We are a criminal investigation agency, we're not an intelligence agency," the Homeland Security source told NBC 7 Investigates. "We can't create dossiers on people and they're creating dossiers. This is an abuse of the Border Search Authority."
They won't because he's all they have. Everyone else in the GOP is an in uncharismatic lump of shit.stuff like this legitimately make me wonder what will be the final straw that make the GOP say "okay, even for us this is fucked, lets work on getting him impeached"
If anything this'll make GOP members want to support Trump, especially since it's journalists and activists tied to """pro-illegals""" in their poisoned minds.stuff like this legitimately make me wonder what will be the final straw that make the GOP say "okay, even for us this is fucked, lets work on getting him impeached"
