Defund Federal Law Enforcement

Says Trump.

Now wait a minute. A couple of protesters wanted to defund the police because the police were openly killing citizens and the Right wingers went nuts. I mean, you never saw any major democrats support this idea but it was definitely said by some of the protesters in the wake of multiple police abuses. I get the passion but not the solution.

Now we have Trump calling for defending Federal Law Enforcement because he has been charged personally. Is the Right going to go nuts again?

The two motives are pretty stark. One is concern for the safety of citizens on the streets that may be pulled over for a broken tail light and end up dead while the other is simply Trump concerned for himself.

This is why I find the Right such a collection of hypocrites. It's pretty straight forward.

And uses the laws and rules to control, punish and endanger the rest of us.

It makes complete sense to the GOP crime syndicate.
