    Look more into Biden's past life as a Senator and you will see... PURE EVIL.

    Having just read though the entire twenty page memo.... there is no such targeting to be found. Please reference where in the memo this occurred, sine the bulk of the memo was to educate Americans on domestic terrorism and disinformation. Show us where, in fact, that verbiage occurs in the memo. Of course if you use crap sources .....

    The tofu-eating wokerati and progressive wingnuts in the democrat party are the most significant and dangerous group of domestic terrorists in the US.

    These complaints are always funny to me. Common characteristics among domestic terrorists happen to align with common conservative viewpoints and symbology. That doesn't mean conservatives are being targeted unfairly....it just means that's where you find domestic terrorists. Complaining about this is just highlighting that fact.

    There some questionable things in that Memo just skimming it for the first time. Specifically 1.1.1.c & 1.3.1.a.

    1.1.1.c - Develop and implement a mechanism for receiving relevant DT-related analysis and information from non-governmental experts, and share that information appropriately and consistently across the U.S. Government.

    This could allow the government to decide who they consider a non-governmental expert and allow the government to share there information. So if the government decides to use information gathered by a third party group as legitimate, it could be the basis for a criminal investigation. So if Planned Parenthood provided information to the FBI about anti-abortion groups activities that they think could potentially be criminal, the FBI could use that against the group.

    1.3.1.a. - Disseminate guidance and appropriate follow-up to U.S. country teams at diplomatic posts abroad to increase the priority of obtaining from foreign partners foreign intelligence and infomation related to U.S.-based violent extremism, overseas violent extremism and actors, and potential connections among them. Ensure that such foreign intelligence, once obtained, is appropriately and expeditiously shared across the U.S. Government, and where appropriate utilized for subjects to be properly nominated for inclusion in the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment (TIDE) and the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB).

    This could allow the US government to request foreign government to spy on US citizens and allow them to get around the requirement for a FISA warrant.

    Twisting a sentence that says it will combat violent extremism as "dangerous" while laughing at straight up subversion of the law.

    With this Guidance under the Biden Admin, the Trump Admin could say they are going to be the same thing to "combat violent extremism" but then use it against the groups other end of the ideological spectrum that they consider to be dangerous.

    So in the case of 1.1.1.c - The Trump FBI, under Kash Patel, could start taking reports from Pro-Life groups about threats from Pro-Abortion groups and investigating them.

    Same with 1.3.1.a - The Trump Admin could start asking foreign allies for intel on Pro-Palestinian groups/people and use it to investigate and deport them.

    These are not things I think the US government should be doing under any Administration.

    Agreed. We don't need an American Stasi.
