"Huh"? As in "Huh, I didn't know we were gonna start following the Constitution?" Stop making yourself look dumber than you are, Pete.

Huh I thought he was elected to bring prices down and make our lives better. Even my Trumpiest neighbors weren’t looking for you to cut cancer research, cut off Head Start, and try to freeze road funding.

Apparently you don't know any. The modern home schooler is typically better educated, better skill-equipped and better socialized than institutionalized students, because their parents are more involved, they spend less time at desks, and the modern home-school community, which is not typically defined along ideological lines other than having lost confidence in institutions, exposes them to a more diversified set of experiences. Just keeping it real. @unclsmitty12

@Kyle46242033 Again, not 100% of the funding is driven per capita, some of it is fixed. In other words, the marginal loss of the school system is less than the average spend per kid. So, the average spend per kid is driven up, not down.

DISMANTLING THE FBI The reason I’m not a big fan of selectively culling out FBI agents is that I believe the whole of the FBI should be dismantled, with the anti-espionage functions relocated to an agency that has not been so politically corrupted, like the Department of Defense, and the FBI’s functions in law enforcement agency oversight should be supervised by federal courts, not the highly political Department of Justice. The rest of the FBI should be ended, with its various functions picked up by state law enforcement agencies. #FBIReform #DismantleTheFBI #DOGE
