Trump and GOP Suddenly Support Defunding The Police, Episode 1359

Trump furious he couldn’t overcharge FBI agents during their brief stay at Mar a Lago; Republicans starting to think maybe they should have let Merrick Garland sit on the Supreme Court instead. It’s the GOP that wants to defund the FBI, the Justice Department, the Internal Revenue Service and every other law enforcements agency that tackles white collar criminals like Donald Trump. The only law enforcement agencies Trump and the GOP care about are local police officers who protect property and the rich while keeping the poor in a perpetual state of fear. As luck would have it, two hours and thirteen minutes into tonight’s episode the FBI raided Donald Trump’s Mar a Lago, and Republicans immediately proved my point by calling to defund the FBI. Topics: Inflation Reduction Act; You can’t fix inflation unless you lower the cost of rent; ; Republicans claim Biden has militarized the IRS
