[Stephen] Miller also told Vance on the podcast that there is a "vast domestic terror movement" of left-wing organizations promoting violence and doxxing people in order to trigger violence.

"With God as my witness, we are going to use every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, disable and destroy these networks and make America safe again for the American people. It will happen, and we will do it in Charlie's name," Miller said.

Neither Vance nor Miller named any specific organizations that they were concerned about. They did not cite any information or reports that supported the claims of domestic terrorism or provide any other evidence.

I always knew the tactics of the US War On Terror would come home to roost. I'm honestly surprised it took as long as it did for it to happen. Anyway, this reeks of the same justifications they used to go to war in Iraq and their justifications for "extraordinary rendition" as well as "enhanced interrogation." No evidence, just vague justifications for what they need to do to "keep America safe." Saddam Hussein never had WMDs and the left isn't a terrorism network. They'll falsify evidence just like they did with Iraq and Saddam.

The good ol' imperial boomerang.

I think this goes even further back to the second or even the first red scare.

Still waiting on Sean Hannity to make good on his promise to get waterboarded. Surely any day now…

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

If it ever goes to civil war I will go out of my way to waterboard him.

In the name of "security" we are accessing any and all private information about you including your voting records to ensure America is safe from the people we are making up.

We really should have non-pardonable offenses that politicians would get removed from their post and or arrested after an investigation from an outside non partisan entity.

Say knowingly lying to the public about something. Removal, 1 year prison, and no ability to hold any public office after.

So when a politician speaks, it would actually have to be trustworthy... Something that has not happened a single day of JD Vance career.

Just in case y’all don’t know, there is no vast underground Leftist terror movement or organization in the United States. At all.

We don’t have Leftists here. Not really, and certainly not in numbers or extremism, despite what chuds will tell you. It’s all a bogeyman.

The closest thing I’ve ever seen to an actual real Leftist organization at all, outside a labor union, is the Socialist Rifle Association, and they’re absolutely not terrorists, or even scary.

Spoiler alert: they’re just a few dorks who like to practice shooting (a fun activity that many enjoy, legally and safely), but they don’t jive with the normal right-wing gun store culture, so they made friendships with each other. That’s it.

This country is so cooked.

I would argue we do have real leftists. Plenty of anarchists, like myself. But we are so anarchistic, the idea of organizing into a hierarchy is repulsive.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

the idea of organizing into a hierarchy is repulsive.

Does this not make your ideology extremely vulnerable to attack from organized forces?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Unruly mobs aren't necessarily organized, and yet are still effective.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Reminds me of the French revolution a bit. In the end it was quite organized.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

That's what we tell people, too.

How about your gang and my gang do a link-up?

What's happening is very dark. Something very bad is happening.

Yeah, get armed if you aren’t already

If they do, it will help with decentralization

So Vance resigned as the VP and got a new job???

[-] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago

Being the VP isn't really a job. The only thing they're really only supposed to do is break ties in the senate. There's no other official duties associated with it, and that's why he's already taken 7 holidays since taking office.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Or took vacations early because he knew he’d have to work hard to progress the fascist machine soon enough.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Especially with how fast Trump is declining mentally and physically. I'm wondering if he's going to last through next year. They're trying to cement what power they can because Trump is an effective bully at home, and Vance has all the charisma of dryer lint to back himself up once he's in the chair.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 5 days ago

Job opened up at the grift factory, and someone jumped in to fill it immediately.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

He's still the VP, it just stands for "Vile Podcaster" now.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 5 days ago

Lmao we have literal right wing militia groups

[-] [email protected] 20 points 5 days ago

They can’t offer specifics because they are still trying to get their talking points in order.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I always did kind of feel that JDV and Charlie were competing for the same spot in the right-wing extremist pipeline.

It would've kind of amused me to see the two debate each other in a way. Like seeing an Andrew Tate vs Jake Paul boxing match: Either way, two fuckwits take blows.

In this case it's like seeing two billionaires' bio-bots compete, Koch vs. Thiel.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

They've both got those round heads.

What about the organization that killed Melissa Hortman?

I fucking swear, if they touch Sam Seder or Majority Report....

No way they're big enough to draw that kind of ire, right?

Do they mean the lemmy/fediverse network? Or reddit?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Lemmy will be next

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

For that to happen they will need to ban it at DNS level similar to the great firewall of China. Also ban vpn and tor to reduce access.
