quiet part loud, as they say

1. Trump wants to provoke violence. I hope the protesters don't give them what they want.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. What does that mean - arresting people *before* they've committed a crime?

Sure sounds like it.

[The Magistrate]

6. That Would Be The Plain Meaning In English, Ma'am

It remains possible he does not speak the language very well, and is employing words he likes the sound of, and thinks make him sound larger than others. Like those people who mistake penultimate for the final and highest thing, because that is what it sounds like, it is possible he imagines 'proactive' to signify acting with especial diligence, or even in an extremely professional manner.

3. Taking "preventive detention" to its logical conclusion.

[Marthe48]

4. Illegal. UnAmerican

this jerk needs to be proactively removed from any say in our democratic republic. Or since I'm old, as I like to say, Democracy.

I hate this is happening.

[Leghorn21]

8. 100% agree, Marthe - I just hope this little quip of his becomes amplified and heard loud and clear

ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY, because yeah,

DEMOCRACY ffs

[somaticexperiencing]

5. The administration that Betsy DeVos says can't plan ahead believes it can "arrest ahead".

[sop]

7. Are we living in some dystopian version of The Minority Report?

And does Wolf see himself as the director of the Precrime unit?

[Blue_true]

18. You used a good example. Does feel that way, with the exception of a cute killer chasing

her mark around.

[Leghorn21]

19. And hey, speaking of which, "Minority Report" is now trending at #5 nationally, sop:

We now have the precrime division from Minority Report in real life. "If we think you will commit a crime, we will disappear you until we decide you won't." @DHS_Wolf has got to be the most fascistic American on the planet. Your kids will hate you, Chad. And change their names.

14. "Will no one 'proactively' rid us of this turbulent administration?"...

(Bonus to anyone who gets the reference without Googling it.)

15. Henry II: Sir Thomas a Becket, that turbulent priest. nt

17. Maybe I shouldn't have entered the "contest," since I spent over 4 decades teaching English

to college students before retiring last year.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

16. What's next? Demanding shelter in Portland homes?

Silence from the RWNJ's supposedly concerned about government abuse.
