Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
1. *Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.*
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- *Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.*
- *Be civil, No violations of TOS.*
It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- *No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments.*
Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- *Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.*
- *No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning*
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
*That's all the rules!*

So he's threatening to defund the police?
Hmm...
Ah shit. A broken clock is right twice a day. Still not worth it.
This move is specifically described in Project 2025. The next step is that he will gut the DOJ, appoint his people, and have them pressure, remove, and prosecute any local DA who doesn't get in line.
The goal is to force very part of the legal apparatus to get in line with the fascist agenda.
this is really just Trump searching for controversial takes to show up on headlines
realistically any real attempt to mass deport illegals would require
a) the involvement of the military
b) a dramatic increase in the size of ICE
police participating or not isn't going to be a significant player in this
Join the Gestapo or else. Our glorious leader at work again.
Defund the police. but not like that
