Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Who is "we"?
I'm not deporting people to foreign concentration camps for "breaking the law" because that's extremely wrong.
As far as the fash, they don't deport their own... yet.

No, they get a contigency budget of 20 bucks and this pallet of expired lunchables.
Pallet of Mr. Beast Lunchly

Dismantling the FBI seems like a good idea to me anyway. It's not like their mission is a good one. Maybe in the next government the FBI can be brought back as a federal agency that is narrowly focuses on investigating/punishing local/state level law enforcement.
But of course the Dems will just approve whatever budget the republicans come up with and facism will continue unabated.
It's actually a worse idea. There will still be, nominally, federal control, centralized in him. Other than that, every local and state FBI branch will act as, effectively, a terror cell - they work their own leads, make their own arrests on their own recognizance, and generally conduct business as they see fit. This makes for an incredibly dangerous form of secret police - they have no leaders above the local level, no real command and control, and they're all tasked with only one thing: make less crime.
Imagine the Cheka, but they're organized like al-Qaeda.
If their budget was zero'd out on the federal level where would the local FBI officers get their funding?

Guess who is in charge of auditing and investigating local cops and police stations?
click to reveal answer:
NOBODY ANYMORE!
Not if it means giving all their funding to the military and ICE...
Wait, didn't this guy quit by not showing up to work for a few weeks? Am I thinking about another person?
He quit his second job by not showing up.
A guy living in an oligarchs mansion in Vegas was appointed director of 2 federal law enforcement agencies.

President Donald Trump’s nomination of Patel to lead the FBI caused a raft of controversy. Patel had publicly pledged to take the agency down and turn its building into something of a “deep state” museum. His apparent lack of preparation for this fundamental hearing will give no solace to critics convinced he was not prepared for the task at hand.
