    The FBI's budget is over $11 billion. $32 million doesn't come close to covering the amount spent hunting down the J6 grandmothers over four years.

    That every penny thing is an odd thing to say when we're spending billions on illegals, DEI and pissing it away to Ukraine and other countries. I think we spent nearly 10 times that .03% amount on Pakiistani gender studies.

    You have no idea what it cost, and there weren’t a bunch of “grandmothers” beating cops, breaking into the Capitol and making Congress flee. Why you think that’s accurate is puzzling, except that you want make the attack on the Capitol sound benign. It was not.

    Of course there are degrees. A paper cut isn’t the same as having your arm chopped off in an accident.

    Flying a plane into a building and killing thousands isn’t like one lunatic going nuts on one person.

    And nothing from 500 years ago is relevant today.

    Whining about the use of “alleged” seemingly only applies to D4. Even after he’s been convicted.

    What do any of those things have to do with the FBI funding? FBI asked for X amount. GOP gave Y for political reasons, not due to a shortfall.

    Does it come close to the amount of money spent spying on Congress during the Trump administration which resulted in no charges? Or what about the $82 million in investigate Clinton?

    You mean increase funding to the FBI, not street level cops. Right?

    If the FBI can't operate with .03% less, then the FBI has bigger problems; management problems.

    Can't be! Trump and the MAGA crowd decided he was an immigrant!

    It's called "jumping into conclusions", which is something Trump is famous for.

    Our "very stable genius" will never miss an opportunity to confirm he's a moron.

    If anything, the facts that have come out make it worse! We now suspect he wasn’t acting alone and we know for a fact he crossed the border.

    So several questions:

    1) Who was he in communication with?
    2) Were they aware of who he was in communication with?
    3)Why in Mexico to begin with?

    I would expect and demand cooperation for the security along the Southern border.

    Just because the Left is soft AF doesn’t mean that I have to be

    Jumping to conclusions? There was literally an Isis flag on board.

    Who said he was an immigrant? And why are you assuming the terrorist’s gender?

    This definitely sounds like cultural appropriation to me.

    I think most religions did in the past, hence the Crusades.
