    The Idaho Senate voted Thursday 27-8 to advance a bill that defines “domestic terrorism” as requiring the involvement of foreign groups. According to the bill, if there’s no foreign involvement, then there can be no domestic terrorism.

    That is the opposite of what “domestic” means.

    They’re going to be real upset when animal rights activists take advantage of this and sabotage every factory farm in Idaho and they can only hit them with property destruction charges.

      I don’t think they have any intention of applying it consistently. Harsh things are designed to be used against enemies, friends need to have kind consideration of their circumstances, and the Right People need to be in charge of the whole system, to make sure those features can be kept in mind in the adminstration of law.

      This law is for MAGA people, and the laws that you can run over protestors and it’s okay are designed for the animal rights or BLM people.

      This is why you heard the January 6th people get so shocked and bent out of shape when people treated them “like criminals.” It violates some unspoken and un-analyzed features of how they think the whole thing should operate.
