Rashida Tlaib Comes Out for Jim Crow-Style Laws, Arrests of Her Political Foes
PJ Media ^ | October 5, 2019 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 10/07/2019 4:56:31 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Wait long enough, and everything comes around again. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), one of the wokest womyn in the world, has this week blazed bold new trails by calling for the revival of not one, but two tried-and-true practices that have inexplicably fallen into neglect in American politics: Jim Crow segregation laws and the arrest of one’s political opponents.

This brave leader said in a Detroit speech that if Trump Cabinet members failed to comply with congressional subpoenas, “they’re trying to figure out, no joke, is it the D.C. police that goes and gets them? We don’t know. Where do we hold them?” Tlaib added: “This is the first time we've ever had a situation like this,” and that consequently, she and other Democrat leaders were “trying to tread carefully” into this “uncharted territory.” She volunteered her own district for this noble undertaking: “I will tell them they can hold all those people right here in Detroit.”

Oh, but this territory is amply charted. Tlaib’s vision for America’s future apparently looks a great deal like the past – and present – of authoritarian regimes the world over. The new diverse, inclusive America of Tlaib and her colleagues apparently includes the 2 a.m. pounding on the door and the hustling of a bewildered, pajama-clad conservative by jackbooted stormtroopers into a waiting police van. Then they get hustled off to Detroit, the name of which will take on an air of menace and foreboding, like “Treblinka” and “Kolyma.” And why not? We already have telescreens all over airports and other public spaces pumping CNN propaganda into an unwitting populace 24/7 now; arrests and, presumably, camps for dissenters is the logical next step . . .

Behold the importance of assimilation.
She’s catching up to where we were 200+ years ago.

".... She wears her hostility on her hijab *ahem* sleeve....."

I guess so after she screeched, "We're going to impeach the mother f*cker!" when she first came into office.

No hint of hostility there....

At times like these - and there have been many since “The Squad” was formed - I swear these people must be secretly working for Trump. When these over-the-top crazy and unlikable women spew their latest outrageous comments, they handcuff and cripple the Democrats and make Trump look better to more and more voters. There is “a bridge too far” and The Squad is helping to build it.

Well— in extremis, the land owning penalized and selectively removed from positions in the local government-— veterans of the War retaliated... politically rather dramatically.

One of many come to mind purely economical but also deadly politically: Hillsville, VA the Carroll County whiskey Wars (the illegal liquor and payoffs were being taken over by Reconstruction idiots from federal “appointments”- and they paid for it with their lives. Dramatic. Shot the prosecutor, the Judge and members of the jury).

This is far later than the initial Whiskey Rebellion which was the first enforcement action of the new US govt— led by George Washington at the head of a Continental Army contingent that put down the rebellion.

The Carroll County, VA wars began after the Civil War, and was interacted over time with Reconstruction republicans installed in the area... in law enforcement. The old Confederate democrats still ran the county, and stonewalled all the inroads, especially the legal and illegal production of alcohol— spiritous liquor. This ongoing political feud continued to 1912. The story is about the Allen family, extended large liquor producing and selling family and major political power. This too was about who controlled the taxes on these products... and it got violent eventually.Both Floyd Allen and Sidna Allen held legal licenses for the production of alcohol. The Allens were majority landowners in the County.

Here’s a link to Floyd Allen tells the whole tale :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Allen

The Whiskey Rebellion Washington put down was one of small farmers making small quantities having to pay higher per gallon tax federally, than the large volume plantation producers. Irony is that Washington was the Largest producer of corn spiritous alcohol— not moonshine but corn and rye whiskey— and had lowest per gallon taxes vs. the small NY farmer who rebelled.

I believe the sergeant at arms of the house technically has arrest powers for contempt of Congress. Just don’t think he has the balls to try anything like that because it would force an armed confrontation and he would lose.

IMHO, the problem isn’t one of politics between the right and left.

It is purely a consequence of those who have been practicing Satanism, Devil worship, and Witchcraft, for decades in the occult, and now going public. Their souls continue to degenerate and it only appears to be madness to those who don’t focus on the ongoing spiritual warfare increasing in our midst.

Eph 6:12

Jim Crow laws would be bad enough, but Tlaib would do worse. It is common practice in her homeland to dispose of old regimes with death by torture, thrown off of buildings, etc. as soon as they were deposed. He puts Ilhan Omar (Somalia), Valerie Jarret (Turkey), and Obama (Kenya) in the same boat....comfortable with killing defeated political foes.

Keep these people away from power in this democracy....or else. As Tlaib has just expressed, where she comes from its A-OK. That's a fundamental change for you. These people scare me.

Absolutely!

The whole R vs D schtick is to keep us fighting each other instead of them.

When the whole of the luciferian pedovore debauchery is finally unveiled they will be begging for jail cells.

She’s a perfect example of the psychopathic Palestinian hatred for Jews.. her Marxism is secondary. Omar s Marxism is primary. Runs in the family thru her father. Both are anti-American psychopaths and sworn enemies of it.

The only powers of arrest vested in the House are with the Sergeant of Arms. His power ends on the steps of the Capitol building. All other law enforcement is invested in the executive branch

"...Where do we hold them?” Tlaib added

We're gonna hold you off the branch of a tree until parts start dropping off, Musloid.
