    2 questions-

    -Which Democrats specifically are overreacting in a way that hurts democrats and helps Trump?

    -How does it benefit Democrats to ignore the fascisty stuff because they know Trump is trying to provocate?

    Trump is a walking talking hypocrite when it comes to fighting crime. He just wants a military state, where the military are his to use how, when, and where he wants, and against anyone he wants, without approval from anyone. He makes that more obvious every day.

    I only listed a few of many examples from the article, but when it comes to police and community support in fighting crime, the cuts speak a different story than Trump tries to portray.

    DOJ Funding Update:
    A Deeper Look at the Cuts


    The trickle of cancellations became a deluge on April 22, when DOJ terminated 365 awards on the basis that the work “no longer effectuates Department priorities.” According to funding termination notices sent to grantees, those priorities include “combatting violent crime, protecting American children, and supporting American victims of trafficking and sexual assault, and better coordinating law enforcement efforts at all levels of government.”

    The cuts include $71.7 million to policing and prosecution programs, including longstanding efforts to address violent crime and acts of targeted violence.

    The Administration also defunded the State and Local Anti-Terrorism Training (SLATT) program, which helps equip law enforcement and prosecutors to identify, investigate, and interdict potential acts of domestic and international terrorism, targeted violence, and hate crimes.

    The Administration terminated the Rural Violent Crime Reduction Initiative, a program that funds intermediary organizations that deliver financial assistance directly to dozens of rural law enforcement agencies. These funds allow agencies to upgrade technology and equipment, hire and deploy personnel, support victim services and crime prevention programming, and fill other gaps in policing resources.21 These pass-through funds were eliminated, as was at least one direct award to a rural law enforcement agency.

    There were around $137 million in cuts to programs designed to protect and support youth, including efforts to safeguard children against abuse and neglect. Terminated grants include funding for the regional child advocacy center that trains and assists professionals in investigating, prosecuting, and treating child abuse in 13 western states.

    Yet more heinous **** from the party of demons.

    Ask yourself this question. Do you think any dead Nazis are in heaven? I don't. I'm sure no one does, yet this is the path many of you follow.

    P is far more dangerous than you realize. Random P can haunt you decades later.
