    TIL the nazi president and his rubberstamp king invoked The Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which I also just learned “is intended to be invoked when the country is at war or if a foreign nation has invaded the U.S. or has issued threats that they will.

        Let’s get all the first through third generation German Americans into Freedom camps just to be safe. Maybe have a few in Death Valley for the natives that don’t appreciate their Land gifts in Oklahoma that are selfishly hogging mineral rich lands. /S
