The United States has several laws related to terrorism, including:
State domestic terrorism laws
Prohibit committing, attempting, or conspiring to commit a felony with the intent to intimidate civilians, influence government policy, or affect government operation. This offense is punishable by up to life in prison or death.
USA Patriot Act
This 2001 law allows law enforcement to conduct investigations without tipping off the subject, and to obtain search warrants from a single court. It also prohibits the harboring of terrorists and enhances penalties for various crimes likely to be committed by terrorists.
The GOP will demur that the Nazi references are our Democratic imagination. McConnell/Johnson will trot out telling us we are demeaning Trump by calling him a fascist. BTW he is.
Lindsey Graham said he didn’t believe Kamala Harris was a fascist, but he thought she was incompetent. Really?
There was no reason to have a rally at Madison Square Garden other than evoking the 1939 Nazi Rally. Trump will never win NY state. They know he’s a fraud. There are other large venues to have a rally that would have attracted media attention.
Suki - I am stunned that the GOP will allow the once respected Party to be remembered throughout history as supporting such a movement. It is as if they have given up all they once stood for; they are now seen as cowards.
The false fears that Trump plants in the minds of the MAGATS is mind boggling. They want to believe all he says because he screams bigotry and white supremacy; and that is what they are. The things he says such as illegal immigrants raping white women, eating your pets, stealing your jobs, robbing the citizens has all been discredited, yet he stands firm and they repeat it.
No one other than the wealthy were better off under Trump, yet the lowest of income citizens swear they were better off because he tells them they were.
Trump slid by on Obama’s success with our economy when he first took office, things did not stay that way for long. He then bungled the pandemic; a million deaths and he lied the entire time. He threatens the lives of those who challenge him and never denies his despicable intentions.
It is something so unbelievable that if we weren’t living it, I would never believe it.
I think this was a wonderful rally. No, not because I agree with any of it (my opinion is that there was a floating island of garbage in Manhattan the other day, though fortunately it has dispersed).
It was wonderful because they just put that out there for everyone -- including every voter -- to see. Their world, of cis straight Christian white men (and the women and POC grifters willing to support them) is even now a small minority of Americans. What's more there are plenty of cis straight Christian white men find their claims of supremacy off-putting (think Tim Walz). Which makes them a itsy bitsy part of the electorate which openly hates every other part of the electorate.
Good work, MAGA! You are ensuring your defeat. You are making it easy for me to argue the point with the not-quite-red-pilled that the Republicans today are no better than Nazis.
Work now. Vote and get everyone to vote! Keep going til the last polls close. We will rally in the streets, less choreographed -- but far more freely, openly, and lovingly -- when the forces of democracy defeats the forces of autocracy.
Well L. A. your words have given me hope. I have been so fearful for our future; how can this be happening, and you have inspired me.
I love your profile as I too am a former activist (60’s/70’s) who thought by now we would all understand our purpose.
I’m keeping your comment to read and reread every time I become concerned. If I didn’t have children and grandchildren, it might be different but I want a better country for all those in the future.
Such horrors of humanity, it is truly sickening to see and hear these people so full of hate and cruelty. And so many of them. I know they are not the absolute majority of people here, but to have anyone so filled with contempt for others, dehumanizing others, and see them all out in the open, with not an ounce of shame! Thousands of them. It is beyond sad, and so dangerous. Sigh. I believe that Harris will be our next president, but what will these people do then?
Why are they attacking Hillary? Do they think she's running? I was hoping he wouldn't fill the place but I am positive they weren't all New Yorkers. I've seen videos of people who've gone to multiple rallys. One guy said he was celebrating his 88th. Evidently that's a hate number for Nazis.
Yeah, that's exactly what they're doing. They know they're gonna lose, and they're charging up the hate so it can be released in explosive violence when Orange Hitler proclaims the "election was stolen from him."
Their plan is not to win. Their plan is to steal the election with violence. And stirring up hate is how you get to the violence. Their hateful words are gonna be followed by hateful actions. That's how Nazi propaganda works. It's bizarre to see this happening in real life in 2024.
So true I definitely think we need to uncover the secret The speaker has with Trump. It needs to be nipped in the bud. I am sure it has to do with over turning the election through the house.
Oct 29Liked by Oliver Markus Malloy, Kamala rocks!
As well as our legion of democracy loving attorneys, Janis. They are led by the phenomenal Marc Elias, who promises us that his team is prepared to fight for truth and justice.
It does not look good, in any way, especially to our neighbors abroad who rely on us for global support. Sickening, really, to even have to address this. Orange Hitler was bound to resurface.
Not going away, sadly the Civil War is here to stay.
Don’t they all realize how utterly fucking stupid they all sound? My God, it’s nothing but Hatred, and Racism, and Violence, and Retribution with all of these DipShits!
It’s A Sad Way To Live… There’s No Joy At All In Their Lives.
We Need Something Different Than All Of That Hatred Spewing!
The only difference between the rally back in the 30ies and the one last night,is, we know the History and know how it plays out. Absolutely Appalling, there should be a Law?! Thank You, Oliver and will reStack ASAP 💯👍🇺🇸💙🌊
This would be illegal in Germany.
We need domestic terrorism laws.
I don't think that enough people realize that we don't have any.

This is what it appears to be: A Nazi rally.

Speaking of incompetent...Lindsey, really! He is so pathetic and needy.

Because she dared to standup to tcfg.
If only there were laws in regards to convicted felons…..
and enforcement.
The Republicons are amping up the rhetoric. They see their upcoming defeat and are now focused on riling up their base. They want violence.
Yeah, that's exactly what they're doing. They know they're gonna lose, and they're charging up the hate so it can be released in explosive violence when Orange Hitler proclaims the "election was stolen from him."

I think Johnson needs to be removed as House speaker! He is conspiring with Trump to steal this election!
It’s important that our national guard and military be ready this time to deal with any Trump-incited violence!
As well as our legion of democracy loving attorneys, Janis. They are led by the phenomenal Marc Elias, who promises us that his team is prepared to fight for truth and justice.
It feels like they are loosing on Purpose ( look at the Nazi Rally) so they can start a civil war

What a sad end to the republican party.
Is the robotic Miller Goebbels or Himmler? I think more the second than the first. Maybe a mix: Hoebbels or Gimmler?
Weirdos Abound In NYC, WOW!
Don’t they all realize how utterly fucking stupid they all sound? My God, it’s nothing but Hatred, and Racism, and Violence, and Retribution with all of these DipShits!
It’s A Sad Way To Live… There’s No Joy At All In Their Lives.
We Need Something Different Than All Of That Hatred Spewing!
Move On From That Garbage!
Vote Blue Up And Down The Ballot!
🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦
Goebbels, I get it now. Wow, they want to be so much like them it’s frightening!
Habba will do anything to get paid. Good luck with that.
Can’t even pronounce “Clinton” correctly.
They seem to think that their illiteracy is an insult to others, just like the 🍊 💩 they worship.
If you can get people to believe in absurdities, you can get them to commit atrocities.
I think you are on it!

This w was like watching a WWE wrestling event … all fake of course …
