Attacking civili society is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes — and the House, including some Democrats, just gave Trump the power to do it.

    The provision previously enjoyed bipartisan backing but steadily lost Democratic support in the aftermath of Trump’s election earlier this month.

    Dems were fine with it until it was likely to be used in the exact way it was intended.

    How soon before NPR and PBS are “terrorist” organizations? I wish I was joking.

      They’ll brand the DSA and socialists like Hasan as terrorists first. Then once they have purged the country of leftist leadership and leftist organizations then they will come for left leaning groups like NPR if and only if NPR refuses to bend the knee.

      Morning Joe from MSNBC has already bent the knee. More will follow once Trump makes an example out of his critics.

        Hasan is already a terrorist sympathizer, he’ll be called a terrorist and then suddenly agree with his critics that he isn’t really involved in politics lol

    This is actually a George Bush sounding bill that somehow made it through Trump.

      George Bush sounding is not an image I needed in my head. So now it’s in yours too.
