Trump's Plan to Dismember Government

This could go here...or the happy thought for the day !

Best headline that I've read in the past few weeks - even if it appears on the communist news network...I didn't even bother reading their spin. EF'em !

For those with a higher tolerance for BS than I - the link to the complete CNN article at link below.

Man, I like that headline...reads like poetry.

I would think the Supreme Court Police could be combined with the Capitol Police and several others could be combined too. Does the EPA and the DOE really need their own swat teams?

Seems a reasonable suggestion Oldrotorhead.

As for the Department of Education's need for their own SWAT team...have you heard of those damn helicopter parents...

Looks like there's even more than OldRotorHead's post listed!

"In September 2008, federal agencies employed approximately 120,000 full-time law enforcement officers who were authorized to make arrests and carry firearms in the United States."
