      That’s really not how that works.

      It’s really more like… If everyone is guilty of crimes against the state, then anyone can be imprisoned at any time.

      (All at the discretion of those in charge.) This is really a much worse situation for everyone.

        I expect you’re quite worried about this situation but try not to be so dismissive of others, please.

        Yes, in a very real sense it means that the Government can target their enemies with impunity. But in another very real sense it suddenly throws everyone over the barrier of having committed a ‘crime’ and may well remove any moral or ethical barrier one might feel in opposing the regime.

          That’s fair, I can see how starting my comment like that must have been really annoying. Sorry for that.

    The emperor has no clothes, and the frogs are starting to notice that maybe the water is a little hotter than it’s worth.

    Oh my God, did somebody let him watch Minority Report? His grasp on reality is, shall we say, not strong.

    I wish soooooo deeply that a Trump Gestapo is reading all my anti capitalist and anti organized religious comments. I’m so out and proud it’ll be great.

    Is there a category of pre crimes? You’d think being associated with the most egregious offenders would land you in such places. This could get interesting for republicans if they start tracking themselves and employing honesty.

    What a shitty article. Not once did they cite the source material with a hyper link. Why on earth would I share this article with someone when it has no source? Why would you share this article with us when the author didn’t feel he needed to source the content he wrote about?
