      It’s the magic of the fungibility of money! You give ICE money for body cams, and then they can use the current budget for body cams on guns and bullets to execute ICU nurses. You can increase the budget in a way that allows you plausible deniability. Isn’t it so helpful to have an captive opposition?

        Seriously, they need to be completely defunded. Trump has taken money from things not even tangentially related to fund other stuff, no way this doesn’t get misused.

      The important thing is that you blame the Democrats and ensure republican victory in November. . . . Should it come to that.

        We have to hold everyone accountable. There sure are a lot of corp fake Dems that need replaced.

        Let’s make sure we identify them. Let’s make sure we don’t excuse them because they are flying a blue flag. Let’s make sure we do our best to inform the public who they are. Keep at it. Because people’s memories are short.

          Websites people can visit that lists traitors and verifiably says what they have done will help tremendously for both parties. The whole country has to change after this

            There is such a website. It was started by a guy on Instagram who does a “is your member of congress a piece of shit?”

            He has a standardized way to rate them based on specific metrics. Such as donation, stocks, assets, and voting history.

            Does his research.

            A lot of people were like." Bro. We need a website or app. !"

            He crowd sourced it. And it’s out. Fairly recently.

            It’s called. Political integrity project.

            Although it’s a bit of legwork. You can see vote records on Congress and House of representative websites.

            Also you may find some information here.
