In a worst-case scenario, the type of investigations they could be doing could be โ I just โ You know, this is the first administration in my lifetime where you say it could be worse than my actual worst-case scenario.
You know, in other words, when I was sitting here thinking about Trump's second term โ
I did not have in my mind launching an illegal war and then committing war crimes in the middle of an illegal war, blowing up shipwrecked survivors.
Something that is so black and white basic in the rule of law that it's an actual example in the law of war manual of an order that members of the military should refuse.
Like it's literally in black and white.

Oh, and when you're talking about targeting quote-unquote extreme views, one thing we've already seen from the MAGAverse is targeting religious institutions that minister to
that minister to migrants who've crossed the border.
In other words, fulfilling Christian commands to take care of refugees and strangers in your midst.
And we've seen Paxton, attorney general and Senate candidate in Texas, target nonprofits, religious nonprofits founded by Catholics who minister to people who are in this country, which is one of the most basic and elementary Christian commands that exists.
Now, I don't know, you know, when the Catholic bishops got together and they condemned Christians
Trump's immigration policies and his brutality in immigration, does that now label them as pro-immigration extremists?
Even though, as Pope Leo said, nations get to have borders, but you never get to treat people brutally and cruelly.
But as you've seen, Tim, I know you've seen this, if you ever raise an objection to masked men grabbing people off the street based on racial profiling, including American citizens, et cetera, then people say, oh, you're for open borders.
