Yeah it's pretty clear they plan on designating anyone they don't particularly care for as "Antifa"

Oh I went to undergrad with some of them, it's a head trip and then some

True, but I'm still just wrapping my head around the idea of showing up to work knowing that a sizable number of my colleagues collaborated to murder me, personally, at said workplace

Even for SV that's a tad extreme

Most of the time your colleagues aren't trying to kill you, however

Tech in SoCal is very much like that - small pond/large fish dynamic

I get the sense that working on the Hill is a large industry but everyone sort of knows each other - lots of people but somewhat incestuous socially

They are going to violently attack and murder Americans whom Trump accuses of being "Antifa."

He says he is authorized to go after terrorists.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

as I tried to explain to corey robin, the Nazis were incompetent boobs.

not that that's much comfort to all the people they murdered.

that said: I think the "it's not fascism unless they're good at it" brand of analysis probably isn't the move

How does one even manage the cognitive disconnect of interacting with people like that work in a workplace

You just, show up to work the following week and just greet them in the break room like nothing happened, or what

We have three different civil wars going but how about we throw in a Taiping Rebellion just for kicks

No one even knows whether he's a) lying or b) confabulating or c) someone has shown him unrelated/dated/fake images that he somehow believed and did not verify

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.

Q: There's compelling proof that antifa did infiltrate on January 6 dressed up like Trump supporters and incited violence. Is that something you'd like the new J6 committee to look at?

TRUMP: Well I've heard that. Yeah. We will be acting on some of that.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.
