politics | Big Talk: Treasury Secretary Declares New War on Terror Against the Left | Scott Bessent suggests that Treasury is 'compiling lists' of nonprofit advocacy groups

“Charlie’s death is like a domestic 9/11,”

My guy, how fucking dare you. How the entire fuck do you dare compare the assassination of a guy, any guy, to the death and destruction on the scale of 9/11. Someone should slap this man for even saying such an absolutely insulting piece of bullshit. Jesus fucking Christ. Fuck you.

“Just as after 9/11, and Osama bin Laden, the ultimate culprit, was captured, we are operationalizing the Treasury, and we are going to track down who is responsible for this.”

A) Bin Laden wasn't captured, he was killed on sight. B) There is absolutely no reason to think that Charlie Kirk's killer didn't act entirely independently, nor that he was connected to ANY left wing groups formally or informally, nor that anyone else knew about this assaination plan, let along helped to arrange it before hand. C) Since when is investigating assassinations in the purview of the Treasury in the first place? And what possible (legal) means and methods could you even use to do that from within the US Treasury? We all know you're about to make up some more bullshit to target political enemies. Just do it and drop the stupid pretense.

This is no war on terror. This is a war of terror.

I saw terror, and groups, and no justice come from January 6th. Fuck you.

  A real call for violence against the Gestapo is getting close. It's going to be our last option
