With DC shooter now identified as an Afghan national not the antifa secret agent White House hoped for a good time to remember the Trump admin has gutted domestic anti-terrorism capacity and reassigned many to finding grandmothers to arrest at immigration hearings.

The FBI has cut staffing in an office focused on domestic terrorism and has scrapped a tool used to track such investigations, in a shift that could undermine law enforcement's ability to counter white supremacists and anti-government extremists, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The party of---------- is coddling the next McVeigh.

Not to worry, this 22-year-old former landscaper is in charge of programs at DHS to counter domestic terrorism on behalf of the American people.

This is Trump pandering to his Base again; almost all Domestic Terrorism in the US having been committed by far right white nationalists for the last few decades.

"AI
Independent and government analyses confirm that far-right extremists, particularly white nationalists and anti-government groups, have been responsible for the majority of domestic terrorist attacks and fatalities in the US for the last few decades."

Independent analyses are the only kind you can trust with the abhorrent pieces of garbage running this government

Isn't that convenient when all domestic terrorists are MAGA'ts.

I guess they don't need those anti terror folks since Der Dotard won the war on terror. He said so recently ...

Der Dotard won the war on terror.

By granting them asylum?

Not much point in hunting the culprits down if ultimately President Trump will simply pardon them.

Just accept the fact that we are now Russianized, our rule of law has been amended to include extortion and exclusion for those who oppose the fascists in charge, and our rule of law only applies to those who the criminals in the White House hate, to those it supports. well pardons for all.

But Patel had 1000 FBI agents spending their time redacting the Epstein files?

FBI agents have a nickname for Patel: "F****** Douchebag"

You heard it here first, folks.

Right wing nut jobs trying to kidnap Democrats, murder black, hispanic and LGBTQ people, and blow up abortion clinics are jokes to the Pedo Lover.

If you are a Democrat, not white, or sleep with the wrong people, Jeff thinks you deserve to die.

Of course, he also thinks raping underage girls is an admirable quality in a President, so no one should be surprised.

"going after [...] school parents."

School parents who THREATENED SCHOOL BOARDS WITH VIOLENCE AND DEATH.

Why do you always leave out that salient part?!? It's insulting, especially after you've been corrected a dozen times.

You're actually carrying water for (by definition) TERRORISTS.

bellringer is lying so he can play conservative victim.

for some reason a lot of white conservative Christian men think they are systematically victimized. its weird.
