It belongs to the language of war. “Seized” sounds calmer still — almost administrative, like someone found it on a supermarket shelf. | | |

| Well, the supreme court has already given Trump full immunity for things like this, so they could easily label it a crime and start charging anyone involved they don't like. What you described sounds hilarious and crazy right now, but I fully expect something like this to happen eventually while the US further descends into fascism. |
