Taking over Charlie Kirk podcast, VP JD Vance promises to target unspecified 'network'
[Stephen] Miller also told Vance on the podcast that there is a "vast domestic terror movement" of left-wing organizations promoting violence and doxxing people in order to trigger violence.
"With God as my witness, we are going to use every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, disable and destroy these networks and make America safe again for the American people. It will happen, and we will do it in Charlie's name," Miller said.
Neither Vance nor Miller named any specific organizations that they were concerned about. They did not cite any information or reports that supported the claims of domestic terrorism or provide any other evidence.

I always knew the tactics of the US War On Terror would come home to roost. I'm honestly surprised it took as long as it did for it to happen. Anyway, this reeks of the same justifications they used to go to war in Iraq and their justifications for "extraordinary rendition" as well as "enhanced interrogation." No evidence, just vague justifications for what they need to do to "keep America safe." Saddam Hussein never had WMDs and the left isn't a terrorism network. They'll falsify evidence just like they did with Iraq and Saddam.
The good ol' imperial boomerang.
I think this goes even further back to the second or even the first red scare.
Hey I just pissed on McCarthy’s first grave yesterday
Still waiting on Sean Hannity to make good on his promise to get waterboarded. Surely any day now…
If it ever goes to civil war I will go out of my way to waterboard him.
In the name of "security" we are accessing any and all private information about you including your voting records to ensure America is safe from the people we are making up.
We really should have non-pardonable offenses that politicians would get removed from their post and or arrested after an investigation from an outside non partisan entity.
Say knowingly lying to the public about something. Removal, 1 year prison, and no ability to hold any public office after.
So when a politician speaks, it would actually have to be trustworthy... Something that has not happened a single day of JD Vance career.
I would argue we do have real leftists. Plenty of anarchists, like myself. But we are so anarchistic, the idea of organizing into a hierarchy is repulsive.
Does this not make your ideology extremely vulnerable to attack from organized forces?
Unruly mobs aren't necessarily organized, and yet are still effective.
Reminds me of the French revolution a bit. In the end it was quite organized.
That's what we tell people, too.
How about your gang and my gang do a link-up?
What's happening is very dark. Something very bad is happening.
Yeah, get armed if you aren’t already
They're going to bomb the HQ of Patreon, aren't they?
If they do, it will help with decentralization
Ppl can selfhost this open source option instead

4chan is going to die from lulz overdose.
Hopefully they do.
So Vance resigned as the VP and got a new job???
Being the VP isn't really a job. The only thing they're really only supposed to do is break ties in the senate. There's no other official duties associated with it, and that's why he's already taken 7 holidays since taking office.
Especially with how fast Trump is declining mentally and physically. I'm wondering if he's going to last through next year. They're trying to cement what power they can because Trump is an effective bully at home, and Vance has all the charisma of dryer lint to back himself up once he's in the chair.
Job opened up at the grift factory, and someone jumped in to fill it immediately.
He's still the VP, it just stands for "Vile Podcaster" now.
Lmao we have literal right wing militia groups
They can’t offer specifics because they are still trying to get their talking points in order.
I always did kind of feel that JDV and Charlie were competing for the same spot in the right-wing extremist pipeline.
It would've kind of amused me to see the two debate each other in a way. Like seeing an Andrew Tate vs Jake Paul boxing match: Either way, two fuckwits take blows.
In this case it's like seeing two billionaires' bio-bots compete, Koch vs. Thiel.
They've both got those round heads.
What about the organization that killed Melissa Hortman?
Excuse me hillbilly, you are clearly infringing on my farce by hosting:

Well, now we know why he ordered the hit. Must've learned from his attempt to take over as pope.
Oh noes. Don’t root me out and target me couch daddy UwU （╹◡╹）♡ ( ^ω^ )
US Government nationalized TP USA with a single shot.
The network of nazis called republicans? Is that what he means?
The Purge!
I fucking swear, if they touch Sam Seder or Majority Report....
No way they're big enough to draw that kind of ire, right?
Do they mean the lemmy/fediverse network? Or reddit?
Lemmy will be next
For that to happen they will need to ban it at DNS level similar to the great firewall of China. Also ban vpn and tor to reduce access.
