Here we go! Trump is arresting judges now

[pdq]

In the same vein, (via Wonkette) Tulsi Gabbard is now going after US intelligence folks who wouldn’t toe Trump’s lie …err, line and instead dared to tell the press that Trump is full of BS:

Tulsi Gabbard, the turnip-brained Gidget clone ironically serving as America’s Director of National Intelligence, has a problem. Her boss, Donald Trump, needs a legal justification for rounding up undocumented Venezuelan immigrants and sending them to an El Salvadoran gulag…

One solution the Trump team hit on is to claim that many Venezuelans are members of the criminal gang Tren de Aragua, declare that the gang is “invading” America, and then invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to justify loading as many shackled, brown-skinned men as they can fit onto planes and flying them out of the country.

[But you have to] claim that TdA has created a national security emergency because it is secretly working with the Venezuelan government to destabilize America by adding to the burden of angry white people who hate having to press 1 for English, [so] you can designate the gang as a foreign terrorist organization, and voila! No due process, no court hearings, no legal rights. It’s just instant imprisonment in a foreign labor camp for the alleged invasion force.

The problem for Gabbard is that 17 of America’s 18 intelligence agencies, which she oversees, have concluded that TdA is not being directed by the Venezuelan government. That kills the entire Trump administration rationale for its actions.

The solution? Claim that all the intelligence agencies are liars who have been infiltrated by “deep state” agents determined to sabotage Trump’s presidency and undermine democracy. Then, unilaterally overrule the agencies’ conclusions so Trump won’t get mad at you.

…and prosecute those who don’t comply:

Tulsi Gabbard tweet wrote:

The weaponization of intelligence to undermine the President's agenda is an assault on democracy. Those behind this illegal leak of classified intelligence…

You mean like Trump? Or his minion Kegsbreath?

…twisted and manipulated to convey the exact opposite finding, will be held accountable under the full force of the law. Rooting out this politicization of intelligence is exactly what President Trump campaigned on and what Americans overwhelmingly voted for.

(Note: the narrowest positive popular-vote winning margin since Nixon =/= “overwhelming voted for”)

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence fully supports the assessment [of only 1 out of 18 Federal agencies] that the foreign terrorist organization, Tren De Aragua, is acting with the support of the Maduro Regime, and thus subject to arrest, detention and removal as alien enemies of the United States.

…and so let the witch hunt begin.
