      They don’t hate it, they’re trying to take it over.

      They just hate that it’s not so easy to do that as is.

        Nah they hate it. They hate diversity (people not like them), they hate freedom (to be gay), they hate everything America actually is and love the false memory of what they’ve been told America was.

          It’s funny that they somehow think 'murica would be better if they had their way, yet in every single instance where they have had any power, they managed to fuck it all up beyond repair.

          Isn’t the Fbi tracking down jan 6th rioters, investigating Trump, and all the other things? Defunding them I think is an attempt at slowing all the evidence piling up against them.

          If the Fbi were working in their favor, they’d be handing money over left and right.

            Defunding the FBI won’t slow down the Jan 6 investigation at all. They would simply reduce spending in other areas of crime fighting, such as foreign terrorism.

    Then I guess the #GOP is shutting the government down again.

    Didn’t work out great for them the last times.

    Wait there is public support to keep FBI funded?

    I guess somebody got to entrap people with metal disability on bogus terrorist charges, plan for governor kidnappings and storming of the Parliament buildings…

    Wow. I’m all about abolishing the prison industrial complex, but I didn’t anticipate that I’d be on the same side as the lunatic coup plotting fringe.

    Do they know that phrase is embarrassing? It’s unprofessionally vague.
