...and deport him to Somalia. That is the penalty for being anti-Semitic, right?

FBI cuts ties with Anti-Defamation League, FBI director says

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The FBI said on Wednesday it cut ties with the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish group that tracks antisemitism, after conservatives criticized the group for including slain activist Charlie Kirk's organization in a glossary on extremism.

In a social media post, FBI Director Kash Patel said the bureau "won't partner with political fronts masquerading as watchdogs."

Patel's announcement followed criticism of the ADL by right-wing voices, including billionaire Elon Musk, over its inclusion of Kirk's Turning Point USA in a "Glossary of Extremism and Hate." Kirk was assassinated in September.

After that criticism, the ADL removed the entire glossary from its website. The glossary had said Turning Point USA had a history of "bigoted statements," a charge the group rejects.

Trump is all in on backing Israel, because a lot of Christian fundy whacks want it, and some of his deep-pocketed supporters, like Sheldon and Miriam Adelson want it. But a non-trivial portion of his knuckle dragging, goober, base, are vicious anti-Semites. In his first term, several times, he had to call his base off of hating Jews. So, now he's in a pickle. He has to vilify anyone who denigrates Kirk, or Turning Point, but he also can't ignore anti-Semitic speech or actions.

Maybe the regime will cover this mess up, by burning down the Southern Poverty Law Center?

Seems the FBI isn't interested in monitoring racist hate groups anymore?

****ripped from the headlines****

FBI cuts ties with civil rights group Southern Poverty Law Center

(Reuters) -The FBI has cut ties with the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights organization that tracks extremist groups, after conservatives criticized the nonprofit for including slain right-wing activist Charlie Kirk's organization on its list of hate groups.

In a post on X on Friday, FBI Director Kash Patel accused the SPLC of turning into a "partisan smear machine" rather than a civil rights advocate and said his agency had severed all ties.

"Their so-called 'hate map' has been used to defame mainstream Americans and even inspired violence," Patel said, without offering details.

so, Kirk is now the litmus test. Either you fall in line with his right wing, bigot, hate speech, or you are an enemy of the state? The hate groups the ADL and SPLC monitored are now good, while the hate group monitors are "bad".

wow.

In the eyes of the Trump administration, telling the truth makes you a "partisan smear machine".
