DHS Had a Program to Stop Political Violence. Trump Largely Abandoned It.

Or he needs a couple of brass (?) balls to roll around in his pocket. (Go look it up…)

A brief follow up. Increased violence also

  • Lets Republicans bash Democrats for “defunding the police”, which they haven’t done and haven’t advocated, but who checks “facts” anymore?

I admire your ability to see into the future. How long do you think it takes for a “newspaper” to be printed? Websites are already covering the deranged speeches, by the way. Don’t demoralilze yourself with the most negative speculations, dude?

Yeah, I knew somebody would pop up with a fictional teevie character. Great. Ditto for Mulan, who lived maybe 4000 years ago, in China. When there are actually a large number of serving American women who have seen combat and – how strange!! – are not getting a lot of publicity. Until they’re elected to the Senate, that is.

Gee, thanks for the advice, dude. I used to work as a journalist so thanks for informing me. I was shortcutting “websites” with “newspapers” but I certainly won’t make that mistake again!

We could use more actual “journalists”, as opposed to stenographers. Just sayin’ …

In response to questions from TPM, DHS said in a statement that “any suggestion that DHS is stepping away from addressing terrorism is simply false. Under President Trump, the Department of Homeland Security will use every tool and resource available to secure our border, protect the homeland, and get criminal illegal aliens out of our country. The safety of American citizens comes first.”

They always say crap like this in response to specific concerns and questions, but simply saying it doesn’t make it so. We have to go by what they do and not what they say, and somehow make that difference clear to those who don’t follow the news closely.

He’s taking orders from his daddy, Putin.

The Pentagon had considered climate change to be such as national security threat that they have been working on a biofuels program for the better part of a decade. Under the Obama era Navy secretary Ray Mabus much of the fleet was converted to biofuels. However Senator snowball Inhoff from Oklahoma managed to trim the program.

…the instant he found out that it wasn’t a program to do it with greater cruelty
