If you want to know where this goes: I’ll give my prediction. The FBI generally does not do “street crime”…because they’re the FBI. Thats the domain of local police agencies.

Things like complex financial crimes, major public corruption, terrorism, things involving multiple state jurisdictions. However, there is an FBI program called “safe streets”. The purpose of Safe Streets is to augment local police departments with federal capabilities (and federal charges).

This Patel fella seems like he wants to shut down all that other stuff I mentioned, and devote the whole of the FBI to being “Safe Streets”. This would mean two things: 1. It would basically create a police force that can usurp local and state jurisdiction

It would also bring a divide between the kids in red states and blue states. Red states will be more likely to remove diverse books and history that doesn’t work with their narrative. Trump also wants teachers to be fired if they don’t comply to what he wants states to be teaching.

They also want to provide vouchers so public school kids can move to private schools on the public education budget. There’s only a set number of vouchers so ultimately the wealthier kids and voucher kids will be together and the “poor” kids will be left behind with less resources.

The Dept of Ed also protects children from discrimination and does testing to see where kids are academically. I guess you could say it overlooks the states to make sure kids are getting the education and resources they need and kiddos are not receiving less if they are from a marginalized pop

Trump wants to eliminate the Department because he wants the budget and control to go back to the states. A lot of schools, especially rural schools receive a lot of federal funds. The funds can go to a variety of things. One of the biggest is special education. It would also eliminate Headstart.

Trump mentioned he will be doing background checks after his people get established. For my friends, everything—my enemies, the law.

Excuse me. This thoroughly Pi$$e$ me off. To get a secret+ clearance, the FBI talked to my grade school & practically gave me a colonoscopy. I had long ago graduated college. These a$$holes will have access to top-level USA security data with no vetting 😱😱😱 Gee, what the fuck could go wrong?? 🤬🤬

A president can unilaterally give anyone a security clearance. Case in point, Jared Kushner.

Maryann, I've seen some Republican senators balk at the idea of not having background checks for nominees. But will at least 4 of them grow a spine to vote "No" on confirmation is the real question.

Are we all just clinging to hope that maybe not every fucking republican senator is absolute insurrection garbage? And they aren't about to wipe their asses with the constitution?

Republicans have been cowards & gone right along with handing our country over to a criming dictator so why would they start now? Sadly, they seem happy to join sides with a traitor & destroy our country.

It is possible that he ran an EOI and the major criteria included lying grifting sexual assault and betrayal… if so he’s managed to get the lowest pond scum possible
