I am spitless, and so should every other American. This is just the beginning of the tRump plan. Where will he and his secret police go next - uninvited. Germany remembers what happened in their country. I hope this does not become a memory for the USA.

This is the most effective LP ad yet!

They are imminently correct. Barr has a secret police on the streets of Portland. Your city is next.

They want to create chaos and violence. The violence will give them sufficient cover to declare Martial Law. That may be enough to create an armed rebellion. Then they will have achieved the end game, Civil War. The icing on the cake would be a nuclear confrontation, perhaps Iran. Welcome to WWlll people.

It's about freakin' time we started using fear! The Trumpian (formerly Republican) Party has been employing the tactic for decades!

C'mon, we all knew DHS was a stepping stone to a secret police apparatus, lots of us said so at the time.

Killing that agency off should be the top priority of any sane president.

These are aimed directly at impotus most of the time but this one I think is casting a wider net.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

We are on that threshold right at this moment....................

The RepubliCON Party is one millimeter away from a Corporate Fascist Tyranny............

So far, this is just business as usual for them. Just wait for the next three months of their already established semi-Tyranny
