America Can’t Handle the TRUTH!

"THE STRUGGLE" OBAMA HAS BECOME "INCREASINGLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE RISING WAVE OF AUTHORITARIANISM SWEEPING THE GLOBE!" "WE'RE ALL PART OF THIS STRUGGLE!" "WHAT IS THE STRUGGLE"? 👇 🧵🧐

The very first cancer cell…

Wow… a sitting United States Senator walked into the University of Chicago and told a room full of students exactly what her side plans to do if they get the power back. Elissa Slotkin says she wants to look at "signature cases" and not just focus on the president "but on the people who enabled him," and then she said the rest out loud like she was reading a grocery list… she wants young people coming out of school to look at a job in the Trump administration and think "Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don't want, and so let me avoid participating in that." Her words, "I want that deterrence message." So let me make sure you heard it right. She is not talking about catching criminals, she is talking about making examples out of people so the next generation of conservatives is too scared to serve their own country. The target is not the man at the top, it is the young person fresh out of college who thought working for their country sounded like an opportunity. Now keep in mind this is the same senator who refused to sit down with the DOJ back in February over her video telling troops they could refuse illegal orders, and who said on camera the Trump administration was using intimidation "to deter others from speaking out" and that "the intimidation is the point." Those were her words eight months ago. Today she wants a deterrence message aimed at kids coming out of school. So which is it, Senator? When they look at you it is intimidation, and when you do it to a young staffer it is policy? I have lived on the receiving end of lawfare for years, and I can tell you the punishment is the process. They do not need to win the case, they need you to drain your savings, lose sleep, watch your family worry, and make sure everybody watching decides standing up is not worth it. That is the whole point and she just admitted it on a stage at the Institute of Politics like she was presenting a policy paper. But hey… they are the party of norms, right? Think I am wrong? Watch the clip again and tell me what "deterrence" means to you. This is what they will do with the gavel and the subpoena power if you hand it to them on November 3. Every young person who loves this country should hear this and do the exact opposite of what she wants… show up, serve, and refuse to be scared off. @ElissaSlotkin, message received. We are not going anywhere. But God.

It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically. Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country. Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case. Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve. In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota. The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.

Tick tock traitor.
