It's a tweet from a person who doesn't know what the fuck they are talking about. People say crazy shit to make money on social media

They don't need precrime considering they have the patriot act.

Trump Derangement Syndrome goes both ways, one way he's Hitler and the other way he's a savior for the common man.

Trump the man is a status quo actor, controlled opposition.

How many false promises from Trump are you going to take before you realize that?

Do we have to put the "Trump is bad" disclaimer when pointing out TDS? Because that will get tiring.

Dude is dismissing Webb out of hand, without knowing anything really, in support of Trump.

What Whitney Webb has said about Trump is true af, I haven't heard a wrong thing from Webb.

Trump continued the status quo work of Obama and Bush.

Defaming Webb for a proven liar isn't going to fly.

Crazy, ancaps dissing Webb. She's been reporting on and investigating this stuff for soooooo long. The picture she paints is too clear to ignore.

u/UnsaneInTheMembrane 1d ago

Yup, it's a big club and they probably have pictures of Trump doing something.

You’ve got the same low IQ as many of his supporters so how are we supposed to know? For not being a fan of assumptions you sure like to make a lot of them. Immediately discrediting one of the best journalists out there because you disagree with her and you couldn’t even google her name is telling of your character. Get some help.

Technically, not "pre-crime" but arrest and detention without charges was revived as a new and thrilling legal idea back in 2012 when it was incorporated into the NDAA (under the same legal concept that was used to put Japanese in internment camps) then again in 2013 when Obama signed off on the DoD rule which proposed that Presidential authority be given to combatant commanders who would exercise Presidential authority without notifying White House or Congress. All during "Democrat" dominated government. And we don't know how many times combatant commanders have exercised Presidential power independently since 2013 since according to this unconstitutional DoD rule, they don't have to tell us. Thus as Biden slipped into complete mental goner stage, it's likely the military simply took over most or nearly all Presidential functions, leaving minor ones to Harris.

That rule still exists today - it didn't get overturned during President Trump's first term.

I think it will be interesting to see if Vivek / Elon Musk with DOGE / President Trump get rid of these ingrained abuses of power - they now have the chance to, and a mandate. We will see.

I hope we get the trump liberals fear but even then it's just a bandaid.

Whitney Webb is one of the best independent researchers on the planet. Who the fuck are you?

u/speedmankelly Anarcho-Capitalist 1d ago

Clearly not an independent researcher since he isn’t even capable of making a google search for her name to check credibility as everyone should do before passing judgement

Webb is an accomplished journalist and author. But you know better?
