The FBI’s domestic terrorism watchlist is set to double in the coming months, according to journalist Ken Klippenstein, who has been reporting on President Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum titled “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence,” also known as NSPM-7. The memo identifies potential domestic terrorists as someone expressing “anti-Christian,” “anti-capitalism” or “anti-American” views. Democratic Congressmember Ro Khanna responded on X, writing, “Trump’s NSPM-7 represses freedom of speech & association, investigating any organization with ‘anti-capitalism’ or ‘anti-American’ views. I ran a primary in 2003 against the Patriot Act and war in Iraq. NSPM-7 is a greater infringement on freedoms than the Patriot Act.”

      Are we taking bets on Washington D.C being split north and south or east and west?

          I’m trying to be optimistic, but Republicans really seem like they want the USA to be destroyed while they flee to Argentina with all the loot.

            That would at least make some sense, what with all the money sent lately. Weird that Argentina is so popular with fascists as a place to run to.

                I guess that and nice weather, otherwise I am sure some other places would see more of it.

                  Argentina’s government, particularly under Juan Perón, actively facilitated their escape to avoid prosecution and to benefit from their expertise and resources. He helped create the rat lines for their escape.
