I am not naive enough to think that certain departments of our government are perfect. The FBI, DOJ, DOE, etc. all have had their problems in the past. However….
Many Republicans are running on the idea that many of these departments need to be defunded, shutdown, etc..
Mike Pence wants to shut down the DOE, leaving open the religious schooling uprising that the evangelicals have been hoping for for years. The don’t believe that public schools teach our children enough about the wonders of God! Give me a break!
Ron DeSantis wants to defund the FBI because the department is being weaponized against the conservative movement. Come on now! the FBI has been a storied (if somewhat sleazy, especially in the 50s) organization for years. Republicans have raved about the department for decades. But now that they are lawfully serving warrants on the Republican God-man it’s time to defund.
Donald Trump (the aforementioned God-man) thinks that the whole government bureaucracy is out to get him. He is kind of right about that. He tried to take over the DOJ when he was in office and use the department as his own personal counsel. He tried to turn the FBI into his own law enforcement agency. Now though the department is out to get him. Seems like a good idea to me. Keep on keeping on top of the Orange-loser.
All this bullshit jockeying is just a way to rile up the Republican base. Apparently the voting base of the right wing will listen to anything these politicians have to say and believe it all.
Did you see the debate? How about the question about supporting Trump even if he is convicted. 7 of the 8 people on stage raised theirs hands. They would rather have a man convicted of insurrection, or voting fraud, or harboring classified documents or any of the other 91 counts as president than someone who believes in our country and our government.
If you are a Republican how do you feel about all these lawsuits? Do you really believe this is politically motivated? How about the Hunter Biden inquiry? Is that politically motivated? Maybe, just maybe all these charges are valid. Maybe just maybe Trump and Friends did try to steal the election back from the jaws of defeat. Fake electors, unproved voter fraud claims, all the lawsuits that were dismissed. Could this really be a Democratic plot to destroy the country? Look deep inside you and see if find another path to take.
