I assume he removed “public corruption“ completely?

We’re fucked.

is this impeachable?can director's of gov't agencies be impeached or at least reps/senators can bring impeachment charges against them?all this seems imo designed to weaken or make our country defenseless. it seems designed that way because imo based on following political news that is their intent.

Civil rights, white collar crime, corruption…hmm…why would we want to stop those investigations?

They’re coming for your guns next.

Lower crime rates dont mean that crime isnt a problem. The democrats should acknowledge that we can do better to lower crime, but this is performative

And we have MPD & other cities have their own police forces to do exactly that. As the thread stated, yes, of course it's still a problem, but crime has dropped & continues to do so.The FBI shld still be focused on national security & terrorism watch, bc now we're leaving things wide open for them.

I think you don't understand my point. Acknowledge that more can be done to address the crime solution, criticize his approach, and put forward alternatives to address that such as more money for policing. Pretty simple.

Im Canadian and being a communist as so many Repuglicans call us, i would suggest more childhood intervention, dealing with the American poverty issue, and accessible education to curb violent crime before it starts while simultaenously getting criminals off the streets and actually rehabilitating

them by providing mental health, cognitive behavioral intervention, and trades training while in prison, for those who will see the light of day sometime. Crime is a symptom of the issues. If the issues are never addressed, crime will continue to evolve with every neglected generation of the poor.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, i was thinking about something else as i was typing. I forgot, my female isnt capable of multitasking deep thought, which is why Pete Kegseth says I should not be allowed to vote or lead men! Hahaha

Crime rates are directly proportional to how sick the society is. The sicker society, the higher the rate of violent crime. Work on why society is sick, and crime rates will naturally fall. “I want to grow up to be a violent criminal” said no child ever!

All of which are good counterpoints and policies democrats should advocate for to counter his approach.

Thanks. I have been preaching cure society and crime will decrease. If you think if post war America, the most successful period in her history, crime was low and people were able to work and have substantial buying power, without anything more than a grade 12 education, that was a healthier society

I guess Patel is tired of all those agents with law degrees and forensic accounting degrees asking questions and investigating. It's much better to hire uneducated thugs.

☠️👍There's a Lot of Uneducated trumpsuckers out there Ready to take those jobs!👹

I'm gonna guess DEI on this one.

jfc.

Or maybe just target dangerous drunks who are armed with sandwiches!

So, Open the Gate that just raised the collateral damage figure gee thanks bug eyes

Sounds like the FBI is about to lose a whole lot of competent people.

That's the point

Other than on federal government property or federal employee victimization, what is the federal interest in street crime?

Many FBI agents are not beat cops in suits, they have accounting backgrounds and do their jobs by "following the money." Is this an indication that Patel doesn't care about financial and white-collar crime? Of course, that's the kind of crime Trump and his friends are most likely to be guilty of.

Let’s connect things: There are a reported 1,000 fbi employees that flagged mentions of trump’s name on sharepoint w/o permission restrictions. If any of them give two shits about the FBI, child rape and/or America - they should leak it all. bsky.app/profile/gtco...

Feds patrolling our streets you say. I wonder what the federalist society thinks of the monster they helped unleash on the US.

The key here is “white collar”crime; gee I wonder who fits that description? Hint: ALL OF THEM!

For that they go to Quantico. Each day is more bizarre, disturbing and dangerous than the last.

The unqualified, selected by the least qualified deliver shit quality. Surprise!!!

Awwww. FBI didums doesn't like to be a blatant tool of fascism. Didums would rather return to slow rolling J6 investigations in the office cuz it's hot in body armor cosplaying Nazis!

OMG! This sounds like Hiltler's Gestapo. This is NOT good .

Why not? Hitlers SA is the newly forming ICE. But i guess that the FBI should rather be transformed into some kind of Schutzstaffel (after Röhm) as some kind of "Überpolice".....

Don't you mean Hiltler's Gelstapo?

ahem! there are reasons for the strict govt-required training for the use of tasers...

And how many government officials bought stock in this company 🤔 🙄

This has little to do with violent crime and a lot to do with an authoritarian leader, wanting to control the country and keep everyone in fear. And, of course, distract from the Epstein files.

They are bait. It is unforgivable.

This administration is about fear

It is spelled R-E-T-E-N-T-I-O-N

So they are getting rid of the non-political professionals and hiring yes-men. Will we ever recover?

It remains to be seen, but it's not looking good

The man wearing the red cape is Gov. Newsom. So far it’s a bit fun. And hopeful.

They are actively steering away from the national threats that will arrive at Putin's hand. The former leadership I hope is setting up and using shadow networks to gather the information that'll be needed to actually repel the real threat they are trying to clear the way for.

Maybe it's time to start The People's FBI, and The People's Navy, and The People's Army, etc.

Sign me up !

Let's Do This!

Terrorists are ecstatic omfg.

Domestic & foreign terrorists

Removing national security layer by layer Showing a KGB officer the F-35s and B2s and giving him a ride in presidential limo Sheer Incompetence at every level of Government Trump is a traitor who is undermining US security at every turn If an attack happens IT’S AN INSIDE JOB

When this is over (and it will be some day), there will be many from this administration who will be charged with treason and sedition, with some even warranting the death penalty. May GOD have mercy on their souls.

Those inhuman maggots don't deserve mercy.

Plus, of course, they have absolutely NO training covering how to deal with being attacked with a sandwich.

Honestly don’t want to hear they’re “unhappy.” They saw the Epstein evidence. They can dig up dirt. Time to leak.

I want to show this to rural Nevadans in 2005 and ask them to guess which party controls the government.

Someone will get hurt here.

So they're turning the FBI into the SS

ICE can't be used to officially brutalize citizens, but the FBI can

Or they're being steered away from things like rich, white men trafficking children for CSA, and told to patrol the streets for people who aren't white instead.

¿Por que no los dos?🤷🏽

Because local crime is not the job of the FBI unless asked.

Yet the trump regime is making them into beat cops.🤷🏽

Not just trafficking children but also bribery and extortion, kickback schemes, fraud and insider trading, and embezzlement.

Money laundering, major level drug smuggling, terrorism, human trafficking, white collar offenses like antitrust conspiracies, officials' corruption, civil rights violations ... these are some of the crimes that have been the FBI's targets.

This way him and his friends can break all kinds of federal laws and there will be no one to see it happening let alone charge them!

It's like firing all the Inspector Generals in a number of agencies as one of his first actions in 2.0. But that's just a small part of the many actions he's taken to reduce supervision and accountability in every part of the government.

And we the fuqn people just sit back and watch and say ok what’s next instead of standing up and saving this country. Which at this point I don’t really feel is worth saving. The Republicans were right in their assessment that the Dems won’t use the constitution to stop this coup! 2A specifically

One of the major areas they've policed is public corruption. Not anymore, I guess.

ayup

It’s becoming more and more apparent the only purpose of law enforcement in this country is to target anyone of a color that isn’t pure white. Patel should be careful as he doesn’t fit the Trump color pallet of pure white. By not focusing on national security we are opening the doors for calamity.

Exactly !!

Yes

I feel that SS is ICE and FBI is going to be just "also cops", because their original role, investigating terrorism and corruption, is something that's no longer needed by the corrupt terrorists in the current admin.

Sure looks like it.

FBI + DHS = we're fucked.

What could go wrong??

subway sandwich patrol

The crappadoodledoodling of the FBI takes shape in a repeat of what Trump's done to most other federal agencies. #WantCrap?

They will walk around with thumbs up their asses like the National Guard is currently doing. Do they get night differential pay? PS The crime rate in DC doesn't warrant this kind of crazy pants response, it is all BS from Trump.

🤣🤡🤪

Turning their backs on Russian interference. We are a Russian state now. And Putin is bribing trump today to keep it that way. Treasonous to the max.

That’s exactly what happened today. We are now effectively an extension of the Russian state. It won’t be long before they’re gonna try to take Europe

And Alaska

#Trump and his goons are uneducated inept fools. Get rid of them all!

The only crime I see is supposed masked government agents snatching people off the streets.

Trump is building a MAGA paramilitary of loyalists. Purge and rebuild, no LE required.
