It’s now clear that the moment they think they can get away with this, they will absolutely try it.

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

He demonstrates his ignorance on a daily basis.

Is it 'think they can' or 'they already have'?

Would that include SCOTUS?

I know it feels like this record gets broken every 3-4 days or so, but this might be the most disturbing statement from this administration yet.

I advocate for due process for every migrant.

They’re all now completely emboldened to say the craziest shit - cos the boss is doing it and there’s absolutely zero consequences. It’s a circus.

Wasn’t Gorka was kicked out of Tяump’s first Administration for being a bit too whacky? Now he’s looking like he well and truly belongs. He’s an absolute nutjob.

Every human has innate dignity and deserves agency and due process. This is, (or is supposed to be) a nation where everyone is equal under the law.

I am not discounting the possibility that it happens, but I still must point out that we have reached 'I know you are but what am I' territory here. And Gorka, an ass-licking popinjay, is the perfect guy to take us there.

The United States has spent the last 45 years building the most effective police and surveillance state in the entire world. Now an overt fascist has control over it, and the inclination to use it. It’s official time to panic.

mgresist.bsky.social•20 days ago

Try to go for it, Gorka. A lot of us hate you and the rest of this fascist administration and you can't kill us all.

In a country with this many privately owned guns, how long do we think before ICE or other law enforcement come for the wrong person who decides it’s better to open fire than risk waking up the next day in El Salvador?

The fact that this *hasn't* happened gives lie to their claim of going after "hardened criminals". Where are all the shootouts? Instead we get videos of armed thugs busting out car windows to abduct a 52 year old seamstress on her way to work. Or mobbing a student who wrote a critical op-ed.

The word of the day is pinchbeck (appearing valuable, but actually cheap or tawdry, spuriously so...). Going to write that one down.

Trump hates America and continues to prove it every day. He hates everything we stand for, hates our constitution, hates our values, and apparently hates our economic system too.

mermcl.bsky.social•20 days ago

Fuck him.
