Milestones Toward an Authoritarian Government

This is what I found in an article. Sounds like an amendment that said they couldn’t use any money to support deporting citizens. So more of a message amendment so he can say exactly what he just said?

Among their proposed changes to the bill, Democrats sought to include language that would have prevented funds from being used for civil immigration enforcement actions in elementary schools or from being used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain or deport a citizen. Those efforts failed in the Republican-controlled committee.

Under current law, this is illegal

It shall be unlawful for any applicable person to request, directly or indirectly, any officer or employee of the Internal Revenue Service to conduct or terminate an audit or other investigation of any particular taxpayer with respect to the tax liability of such taxpayer.

But, authoritarians don’t worry about such laws. In this case, the Supreme Court might rule for Trump (at least for Trump’s power to start an investigation). Roberts had strong language in the immunity ruling.

I assume there is no shortage of good folks who will open up their wallets and make up the shortfalls.

This guy got fired.

I thought Truth Social already had this mandate? What to call the White House’s new media arm? People’s Daily and Pravda are probably trademarked.

Doesn’t that violate people’s rights for free speech and freedom of association?

So the No Other Land director can’t expect any support from Americans? Will the next step be that the NY Times will be prosecuted for running such an article?

The more the pro-Israel nutjobs push for these things, the worse it will be for Israel.

Because the rest of the world will clamp down even harder against Israel and its behavior.

That also goes for the US at this point as well via travel boycotts.

We’re moving to a new definition of free speech: it’s only free if it supports dear Leader and his policies.
