Hey! Cut that out. I've seen women at Rush shows! And before you ask, yes, they were in the audience. Now, I haven't seen any STRAIGHT women at Rush shows ...

I'd encourage you to take a look at what's known as NSPM-7, issued by the WH at the end of September, which indicates it's just getting started. It's a presidential directive to all federal police agencies about what to target in the upcoming years. A very fair interpretation is that they will be looking at anyone who is not maga in the very same way - and in the very same office - as they do Muslim terrorists. First, here's The Onion, published Oct 7, with only a slightly sarcastic take on it but it should accurately give you the flavor: https://theonion.com/what-to-know-about-nspm-7/ On Sept. 25, President Trump issued a directive called National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 in which “anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity” were described as “common threads” of domestic terrorism. Here is everything you need to know about NSPM-7. Q: What is NSPM-7? A: A key term for future AP U.S. History students in the “Rise of Fascism” unit. Q: How does the order define anti-American? A: They can’t tell you. That would ruin the surprise. Q: What is Trump’s plan for antifa? A: He will create the organization, and then destroy it. Q: Is this like that book Minority Report was based on? A: We’d avoid referencing books from now on. Q: Isn’t this a violation of the First Amendment? A: That’s exactly the type of question the administration would love to talk to you about in a windowless room. Here's some additional reading https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/secretive-watchlisting-center-executing https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-npsm-7-memo-crackdown-opposition-1235440530/ They are going to go after anyone they consider "the enemy within," as the president put it. They are effectively labeling speech and opposition to the government as terrorism and their efforts to root it out will be staffed by actual police using the highly capable tracking that has been used to track muslims deemed potential lone wolf terrorists. Here's a bit of what Klippenstein published NSPM-7 directs a new national strategy to “disrupt” any individual or groups “that foment political violence,” including “before they result in violent political acts.” In other words, they’re targeting pre-crime, to reference Minority Report. The Trump administration isn’t only targeting organizations or groups but even individuals and “entities” whom NSPM-7 says can be identified by any of the following “indicia” (indicators) of violence: anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, anti-Christianity, support for the overthrow of the United States Government, extremism on migration, extremism on race, extremism on gender hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality. “The United States requires a national strategy to investigate and disrupt networks, entities, and organizations that foment political violence so that law enforcement can intervene in criminal conspiracies before they result in violent political acts,” the directive states (emphasis mine). A “pre-crime” endeavor, preventing attacks before they happen, is core to the post-9/11 concept of counterterrorism itself. No longer satisfied to investigate acts of terrorism after the fact to bring terrorists to justice, the Bush administration adopted preemption. Overseas, that led to aerial assassination by drones and “special operations” kill missions. Domestically, it led to a counter-terrorism campaign whose hallmark was excessive and illegal government surveillance and the use of undercover agents and “confidential human sources” to trap (and entrap) would-be terrorists. Now, with Donald Trump’s directive retooling the counter-terror apparatus to go after Americans at home, this means monitoring political activity, or speech, as an investigative method to discover “radicalism.” (Contrary to other national security documents all during the post-Watergate era, NSPM-7 doesn’t even mention the First Amendment or the fundamental right of Americans to organize and protest.) The focus on speech is evident throughout NSPM-7. The directive says that political violence is the result of “organized campaigns” that often begin (with the left) dehumanizing targets in “anonymous chat foras, in-person meetings, social media, and even educational institutions.” To give a sense of how broad this formulation is, Trump’s earlier designation of Antifa as a domestic terrorist group was accompanied by a White House fact sheet singling out people who “celebrated” Luigi Mangione, the alleged killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last December. As I wrote at the time, this describes a lot of Americans!

Game Week Thread 2025 Game Week 6: RRS Texas v OU
Gatorubet replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
The fact gata won last week is gonna give those assholes a tremendous extra incentive to beat Florida. I feel certain they will use the Florida/A&M game as a gerbil dick measuring contest to declare supremacy over the sips. Unfortunately , I think we get boat raced in this one. But maybe Aggy will Aggy. If getting curb stomped by Texas A&M will get Billy gone, that is a huge positive hard to root against. -
Alright then, fuck it.

Explosion at TN Manufacturing Plant—19 missing

An explosion at an explosives factory? -
You replied to a Loomer tweet furious about it. That is the definition of a wedge issue. And he did say something so I'm not sure what the point of playing make believe is. The information is out.

Sarcasm. I think you are fine for asking, I think the overreaction is coming from people who want there to be extreme intolerance and outrage at anything that this administration does to move us towards tyranny or authoritarianism. That's a fine stance, but it's not a realistic stance. Results matter more than feelings and the results are coming in daily and they are not good for the bad guys and while not great for the good guys overall not bad for the good guys. Jimmy Kimmel getting yoinked and then a bunch of idiots getting fucked into submission after the first overreaction - he's here to stay and not only that due to the Streisand effect had the biggest microphone in the world to talk about how important the first amendment in the US is. I watched the monologue, I've not watched Kimmel in who knows how long. My wife watched it, she's never watched. Everyone I know has seen it and agrees with it, vehemently. It caused fractures even with the latched to the tit rank and files in the Republican Party. Miss me with this bullshit that the Kimmel thing didn't backfire in an incredibly bad way for the admin. It sucks that it happened, but we aren't WORSE for it after.

👇 Is this you? 👇 Your response to this was a personal insult. Not once did he insult you. You didn't like him vehemently disagreeing with you, spelling out his arguments with direct responses to each of your arguments.

Awful. 😢 It’s just fucking gone. I am assuming all 19 missing are dead. Pictures below of before and after. I saw another video which was a ring camera that just caught the sound of the explosion from about 30 miles away. Damn.

Watching a decade of how the MAGA lizard brains work, and you are still talking about accuracy and policy? Do you not, "No Gestapo in my Bastrop-o"? Do you not "That Kenyan Muslim Obama is taking our guns"? This is how you play the MAGA lizard brain game: -Donald Trump is using Billions in US taxpayer money to build a Muslim military base with armed fighter jets in the heartland of our country. Muslims, jet airplanes, flying over US soil - it seems like I remember something like that before? -Donald Trump is using 20 Billion in US taxpayer money to bail out a bankrupt Mexican nation while that VERY SAME same Mexican nation stole all of our hard working farmers' contracts to sell crops to China. Now Donald Trump has to spend another 15 Billion US taxpayer dollars to bail out those God-fearing farmers who are losing their farms. If it the military base story has Laura Loomer riled up, it is the very definition of a wedge issue. Winners need to start playing to win, not playing to be correct or historically accurate.
