    On the latest Jack podcast episode (it's a podcast dealing with Jack Smith's investigation into Trump) and ex-FBI Acting Director Andrew McCabe says that due to First Amendment reasons, there's no way that anyone can be charged for being part of a domestic terrorist organization. Foreign terrorist organizations are definitely a thing under the law.

    I think that a carefully crafted law banning domestic terrorism organizations could pass SCOTUS scrutiny but that's neither here nor there. (After all, if you managed to enact such a law tomorrow, and get SCOTUS to sign off on it a day later, you still couldn't prosecute those pricks who did Jan 6th with it.) Given, however, that the Proud Boys were founded by Gavin "No Chin" McGinnes, and they, along with a shitload of other right-wing groups almost certainly have taken Russian money, I wonder if they couldn't be prosecuted as belonging to a foreign terrorist organization?

    Hm ... with that many personal miles on his government vehicle and the bit about his daughter using his office as a source of "free gas," it looks like he can be added to the Republican grifters list too.

    Since the MAGAts are for "small government" they're doing their patriotic duty by looting whatever they can from it, and thus making it smaller. :brood:

    That seems dubious, or there could be no anti-gang legislation either.

    It depends upon how things are worded, I suppose. And I doubt that your average gang member would be able to snag a lawyer who would fight the laws on First Amendment grounds, but I can imagine any number of folks lining up to represent Nazis in such a situation.

    It’s not paywalled, you just have to click on the screen anywhere there’s not a dollar amount and it goes away.

    There’s no firm numbers given but a lot of questions are raised by it.
