Trump Administration Preparing to Terrorize Citizenry

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration proposed a $163 billion cut to federal spending next year, which would eliminate more than a fifth of the non-military spending excluding mandatory programs, it said in a statement. The White House Office Management and Budget in a statement said the proposed budget would raise defense spending by 13% and homeland security spending by nearly 65% compared to 2025 enacted levels. Non-defense discretionary spending would be cut by 23% to the lowest level since 2017.

I can only think of one reason to boost military and homeland security funding while withdrawing from the world stage - suppression of the US public and terrorizing the citizenry.

Bring On The Jackbooted Thugs. Federal ones, even.

Republicans love Federal police, just ask Cliven Bundy what he thinks about Bureau of Land Management!
Just ask Timothy McVeigh what he thinks about ATF and Lon Horiuchi.
