I guess he didn’t get the “talking point” memo. Once they make it a federal crime they can allocate more resources to it

We have enough federal laws- actually, several thousand too many.
States are perfectly capable of dealing with homicides, without the Feds.
Every time we glorify some maniac by labeling him a “terrorist” we attract other wannabes.

How many terrorists are attacking state governments? Attacks on the federal government require a federal government.

It’s like Donald Trump. Any time some inconsequential celebrity says something inconsequential about him he “hits back” on Twitter and all his supporters cheer his courage, forthrightness and manliness.

Would you have Trump delegate the hours he devotes to insulting minor celebrities to state governors? Of course not.

So you DO NOT want to allocate more resources to domestic terrorism?

5

You had to stretch so much to insert Trump into it, your entire post made no sense.
I have no idea what you were trying to say.

6

Domestic terrorism? That sound like a butler or a house maid gone bad. A dramatic sounding phrase which means absolutely nothing.

8

So you don’t believe domestic terrorism exists?

9

Wait. Actual domestic terrorism isn’t a federal crime???

10

Nope… That’s why when stuff like el paso happens they can’t throw additional resources at it

11

That is beyond ■■■■■■■ crazy.

12

For more craziness Trump reduced the budget for domestic terrorism also

Then read it again.

Here’s a hint. When a party is attacked, that party should respond… and Trump is a model of that approach. Ocasio-Cortez acts just like Trump in that regard. Maybe I should invoked her.

14

You’re writing in riddles.
No time for it.

15

Holy crap.

Do people really support that?

16

Try this.

When terrorists attack the United States, the federal government should respond.

Simple enough?

17

Define a terrorist? How does one attack the United States?

18

With breaking news cycle every 17 mins because Trump did something stupid I’m sure it was over looked

Terrorism is just like any other crime. Let the locals take care of it. The Federal Government should only be involved if the terrorists are foreign. That’s what the law says and that’s what the law should always be.

He got shot…I’m sure that made an impression.
