Trump Nominates Actual Fascist David Clarke for Department of Homeland Security

Quote:

Clarke’s mind is organized around a worship of the virtues of physical force, combined with a seething intolerance for democratic dissent. In his book, Clarke proposes that the Department of Homeland Security — the department that he has been nominated to serve — assume police-state powers to round up internal enemies. “I suggest that our commander in chief ought to utilize Article I, Section 9 and take all of these individuals that are suspected, these ones on the internet spewing jihadi rhetoric … to scoop them up, charge them with treason and, under habeas corpus, detain them indefinitely at Gitmo,” he writes. Clarke estimates that the number of people to be rounded up in such fashion runs into “hundreds of thousands,” or “maybe a million.” Clarke is clear in his belief that the legal principles that have served as a bedrock against state abuse for centuries should be discarded. He would “hold them indefinitely under a suspension of habeas corpus” because “[b]old and aggressive action is needed.”

Who/ what can say "oh no, not happening" to this?

Let Trump hire him - he'll own Clarke's malfeasance. He's cut from the same cloth as Flynn (both deranged Fox News contributors, the likes of which Trump loves (e.g., Gorka)). Let Trump keep on digging his own grave.

You're assuming the plan isn't for him to do the roundup. This appointment requires senate confirmation. He should not get it. IF the Senate GOP doesn't choke on this they are all scum.

Trump seems to be energizing his base with this meaningless nomination.

So the chief fascist is black.

He is fascist, he is black, he ain't chief. And what racial myth does he affirm or violate for you?

Nothing to confirm or violate. From the article, I thought he was the chief.

Oh c'mon. Why did you comment on his race?

I will say this, Trump sure knows how to pick them.

CNN report says Sheriff David Clarke plagiarized parts of his thesis on homeland security

Quote:

Clarke, who said he will be joining President Donald Trump’s administration as an assistant secretary in the DHS, failed to properly attribute sources at least 47 times, the CNN story said.

“In all instances reviewed by CNN's KFILE, Clarke lifts language from sources and credits them with a footnote, but does not indicate with quotation marks that he is taking the words verbatim,” the story said.

The school has already pulled his thesis off their website so pretty safe to say that this guy is a goner. Trump will probably 'Christie' him for his efforts.
