ATTORNEY GENERAL PAM BONDI for the first time acknowledged the existence of a secret list of domestic terrorist organizations during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday.

“I know Antifa is part of that,” Bondi said under questioning about the list from Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, D-Pa., the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Constitution and Limited Government. Bondi refused to offer any further details about the “domestic terrorist organization” database being compiled under President Donald Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, or NSPM-7.

“The goal was to get her – even by denying that she would produce it – to acknowledge that it existed and then raise the alarm,” Scanlon told The Intercept.

The Justice Department had previously refused to acknowledge the list to The Intercept, despite being asked scores of questions about it over a period of months.

We should all be more like Porco Rosso

ACAB

However, Porco Rosso is the only pig that gets my respect.

[-] boaratio@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Nah, he was a class traitor. A kind one, but the result is the same. Sheep in bondage. Bah Ram Ewe indeed.

[-] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 week ago

I have a public list of terrorists. Pam Bondi is on it.

The list is the entire GOP.

[-] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Also includes many Democrats.

[-] nomy@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Only one group proudly proclaimed "We are all domestic terrorists!"

[-] wheezy@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Thomas Massie is getting my temporary pass. Not because he's not a pro ICE republican. He is. But if his entire focus right now is working on exposing those in the Epstein files I'm not gonna bother throwing smoke his way. Do your work my libertarian king.

(Pro ICE libertarian. Just a mountain of contradictions. But like I said. All criticism for him is on pause for now.)

This also goes for Ro Khanna. Many things I hate about him. All on pause.

[-] jacksilver@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Thomas Massie has been giving off old school republican vibes a lot lately. Like, I don't like his policies, but he's at least sounding like an American that cares about his country and is using common sense.

[-] wheezy@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

I'll let you know if they are. You just have to give me your full name and social security number for verification.

I only give photos of my government ID NtMkvsiyS2uRHYs.webp

Acting director of ICE Todd Lyons testified no list exists at the same time to a different senate committee

Oh shit so one of them lied under oath and the other exposed it. Fuck that's beautiful

[-] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

It's all just a house of cards that's on the edge of collapse.

Love to see social engineering at work.

  1. The ICE contractor GEO Group is a spin off of the parent company Wackenhut Corporation. A private security company created by a right-wing former FBI agent, George Wackenhut who collected millions of files on Americans suspected of being dissidents throughout the 1960s.

  2. The founder and current CEO of GEO Group, began working with Wackenhut in the 1980s and once called George Wackenhut, the person he most admired.

  3. Today on an earnings call, the CEO of GEO Group announced that despite slumping stocks due to shareholder backlash against contracts with ICE, the company has reached record profits due to Trump dumping several large contracts on the company, which have increased income by 800%. The CEO also announced the company would be helping to build and run the warehouses recently purchased by the Trump administration that will be be used as concentration camps.

  4. Interestingly, in addition to Communism and opposition to the Vietnam war, the unconstitutional surveillance files kept by GEO parent company Wackenhut, focused on the broader left counterculture of the 1960s, and appear to document the right’s evolving definition of “subversion."

  5. Interestingly, the government administration partnering with Wackenhut Corporation's spinoff company, Geo Group, is using a national security presidential memo (NSPM-7) that appears to document the right's evolving definition of "subversion" in order to target Americans for surveillance based very vague claims the memo cites as evidence of "domestic terrorism."

  6. Can you add 2 and 2 together?

[-] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

If this doesn't turn out the vote for Dems across the U.S. I'm afraid nothing will... Except maybe legalizing weed.

[-] wheezy@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

The Democratic party is doing everything in it's power to prevent that. They know a large turnout can only happen for leftist or progressive candidates. As always they will gladly lose if it means progressive policies aren't allowed to be passed.

[-] DaMummy@hilariouschaos.com 4 points 1 week ago

What if I told you that being on a list and being labeled a domestic terrorist means you don't get to vote. Completely random that it's left leaning groups like Antifa that are labeled that though. Oh and those photos ICE are taking of protesters, those totally aren't to add them to a list of domestic terrorists so they also can't vote. Now do you understand why Bernie wanted the uni bomber to be able to vote as well?

[-] grimpy@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 1 week ago

update the federal minimum wage while yer at it!

[-] switcheroo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Is that list of all the registered republicunts? I mean, they did have a "we're all domestic terrorists" plastered up at one of their klan rallies...

Pr-pr-pr-projectionnnnn

[-] krashmo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Same.

Pam Bondi should die in a fire.

Maybe that will help?

[-] tomiant@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Her skin is trying to flee her face out of shame of being associated.

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Their domestic terrorist list be like.

[-] deliciEsteva@piefed.world 2 points 1 week ago

Is it the GOP's member list?

[-] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

CPAC admitted they are domestic terrorists after all.

[-] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

No it doesn’t. We already knew about that. It’s not secret at all.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I thought this was pretty much already known since we now know who the head of ANTIFA is.

[-] abbiistabbii@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago
[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

If they start branding everyone who is even slightly pissed off as a domestic terrorist, they shouldn't be surprised when people turn to violence
