3. I'm afraid this is what we will see, taking names, IPs and making notes, plus, papers please.

Everything will be under surveillance and scrutiny even more, and actions will be taken (if wanted) as he works to "purify" the country. I sound nuts, don't I. But, we know this is possible if one wanted to go down that path. And the deplorables are ready for their Brownshirts ... the patriots, defending freedom and civil rights. Damn, this is insanity.

6. And Congress will pass it, right? Before Trump takes office, right?

7. They don't like Trump either

And the bill's intentions themselves are too innocuous to be directly associated with Trump.
