The Trump administration is drawing up “secret lists of terrorist groups inside the United States,” Senator Elissa Slotkin said on the floor of Congress yesterday — the first such reference to the effects of National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7). The directive, as I’ve reported, lays out Donald Trump’s policies with regard to equating “anti-Christian” and “anti-capitalist”…

“The Trump administration define[s] domestic terrorism incredibly broadly,” Slotkin said. “It suggests that any group that talks about anti-Christian values, views they don’t like on migration or race, differing views on the role of the family, religion, or morality could all be grounds for labelling an organization as domestic terrorists.”

    Meanwhile, I see idiotic Confederate dumbasses posting stuff about how Republicans are “standing up for American freedoms”.

    Bull-fucking-shit they are. I didn’t see Democrats step on one freedom of any Confederate dipshit. I see Republicans positively gleeful about stealing away freedom from MILLIONS.

    They do realize that about 38% of Americans are not xtian, right? What the fuck does “anti-Christian” even mean? Is it “anti-Christian” to not want any affiliation with your little book club?

      What you’ve got to realize here is the freedom they’re talking about is their freedom to oppress “the others.”

        They “realize” that 100.0000% of Americans are Christian, because all non-Christians are not Americans regardless of citizenship.
