Also, pretty sure the DOGE folks haven’t been fully cleared, not even with a Public Trust clearance for CUI. I get cleared pretty fast, and I don’t believe I got in under two weeks.
Totally get that these are fascist times w people that will send the SS to our door.
I'm trying to grapple with the difference/line between not obeying in advance, and jokes about these jagoffs. If people censor themselves about stuff they'd say in "normal" times isn't that giving in?
Maybe. I can’t make anyone stop. I can only inform them that the norms that made it unlikely feds would charge them for “soft target” jokes are no longer in place.
I think his point is that in a normal sane functional democracy you could do that and it'd be fun. But given the fascist shit we're under might be best to avoid the trouble.
As a political comedian I'm trying to find out where the line is and if it's worth crossing and what the repercussions are
I was worried they were referring to just sharing the names and info, I didn't realize people were admitting to actually calling and threatening them. Oof
There's a significant disconnect here between what people believe is happening and how they're responding.
If you honestly think we're in 1933 Germany, then Republicans are only a couple months away from creating special courts to streamline convictions without any due process.
Why would anyone be publicly celebrating or even doing something that relies on civil rights and due process to escape harsh penalties if they honestly thought we're potentially entering a period in which those rights and processes might be denied them without viable recourse?
That's why I went back and scrubbed anything about after-Trump consequences for the Nazi kids. Not remotely close to the line. Doesn't matter if the line now moves where the new feds need it to be.

Ok but what if I just made fun of their hair?

They're not going to charge thousands of people for posting

Even if - I doubt these guys are using govt/work phones. Everyone close to Trump uses private phones.

I missed that when it happened. Of all ppl John Mulaneynto go after lol dude's more harmless than a troll doll.
Curious how it went down though. Unless they have a warrant he can tell them to dick off
I'm guessing Trump demanded it but they knew it wasn't anything illegal & were just appeasing him.
