Judge's Home Happens To Burn Down Day After Stephen Miller Claims Democrat Judges Shield 'Terrorists' - Above the Law

Since at least the Bush administration, designating someone or something as a terrorist or terrorism has been our equivalent of the John Wick universe's being declared excommunicado. Due process, the notion that someone would come to your aid if you were physically harmed, out the window. And while the designation hasn't lost any of its gravitas, the threshold you need to cross before getting called a terrorist has rapidly fallen over time. Per a recent White House release, merely having "anti-American views" - otherwise known as thought-crime - could get you on the list. As it turns out, even active members of the government aren't safe from the suspicion that they're actually terrorists in wait using their positions for dastardly ends.
