Omg. I really shouldn't have got you started.

My entire argument was about one movement (defund the police) wanting to reduce the strength of law enforcement while the other movement (defund the FBI) wants to keep law enforcement at the same strength, just with the funding and oversight coming from a different place.

Nothing in my post equates to an approval (or dismissal or any other form of assessment of the quality or effectiveness) of said idea/proposal.




Well, in this instance, I agree with these people on the diagnosis of the problem (politicization and partisan lean of the feds). I would love smarter and more mainstream voices to offer their (much more well thought out) solution, but oh well...


Pass tax cuts, slash regulations, pro business, pro fossils, pro Israel, anti Iran, pro defense spending, nominate conservative judges, try to repeal Obamacare, don't REALLY care about the deficit - those are all staples of Republican politics and things or stances that Trump embraced. There were only three areas of policy disagreement between Trump and the Republican establishment: trade, immigration and isolationism.

Of course DeSantis is a bit more moderate on climate policies than Trump. His entire state will go the way of atlantis before the water even reaches the 20th floor of Trump Tower!!!

the crazy part aboout DeSantis is, he won by like .5 percent and Gillum ended up in jail for drugs

dude... i just explained to you how it is in the US. the president would obviously be advised before taking such a drastic action, but the ultimate decision is on him alone. i share your concerns. in an ideal world, NO nation would have nuclear weapons, but again, reality doesn't care about what you hope or "think".

that said, i am genuinely unable to describe it in simpler terms. the president DOES have that power, and you're wrong for "thinking" that's not the case. sorry to be that blunt, but that's just how it is. that's why trump most definitely had access to not just classified information about america's nuclear arsenal, but also ready access to launch codes and sites, no matter where he was. none of that is secret or difficult to research btw, let me link you an easy article to start from:

don't flatter or delude yourself. you didn't get me started, i made the decision to take you to school. you made an ignorant remark, so made you look up what "federal" actually means, in order to realise why it was ignorant. now you can avoid looking dumb in front of other people in the future. that's it. you're welcome.

You are like the energizer bunny. You just keep going.

why do you respond when I said I could be wrong but I disagree?

has this overwhelming need to be right.

because i explained to you, in unmistakable terms, that you are, in fact, wrong. the US president has such power. you can "disagree" with that all you want, but it's simply not a matter of opinion. just like the earth being a sphere. you might not like it, you might disagree with it, but that doesn't change the FACT it is.

I'm actually not wrong until a leader overrides their country's leadership
