The House is set to vote on a bill this week that would grant Trump power to target nonprofits like the ACLU and Planned Parenthood. Congressman Lloyd Doggett joins Chris Hayes to discuss the danger of this passing. - Aired on 11/19/2024.

1. If it were to pass, all the non-profits in blue states would be designated terrorist.

2. Every news item gets scarier by the day and the convicted felon/insurrectionist has yet to take office

"Terrible consequences" barely begins to cover it...

4. Let's just hope that, in this case, the bill doesn't pass now that the ACLU has talked to many House members.

The head of the ACLU was on The Reidout and told Jason Johnson they'd been educating the House members on that bill. I can't believe these House members are lawyers and don't even know what the bill's impacts can have if passed into law. That's the scary part. The Democratic caucus will definitely vote it down, but we'll see if they talk with Repubs across the aisle on this one.

5. Wow! Thanks for the information, I missed The ReidOut today

And I know from Liz Cheney's book that Republicans often vote against their best interests or against the best interests of the country out of fear - they told her, as in the case of impeachment. That is, of course, if there are any Republicans with conscience left.

6. With Trump FEAR is the point. Woodward made that point many times in the last two days.

With Trump's henchmen, fear & cruelty are the point, particularly with Bannon keeping the base riled up over the "power drama" they need to feel a part of. (Trump leaves the cruelty part up to his extremist promoters like Bannon, Gaetz and Greene these days, now that he's infected his base.)

Look at the Nazi hierarchy to see the different levels of soft and hard force and fear that were used.

7. I did see Bob Woodward today since I posted it here, and you're right, he always mentions TFG using fear

And he also has the nazi/Project 2025 playbook to draw on. TFG may not read, but he's got their methods down and uses them to get his way.

8. He's so good for an old bulldog journalist. He reads everyone really well. His book was fantastic about

the inner workings of Biden and his national security team. Which will be gone in 62 days.

No worries about Trump carrying out Project 2025 -- the entire Heritage Henchmen team will handle that.
