Starkiller Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 https://thehill.com/regulation/national-security/511325-aclu-calls-for-dissolving-of-department-of-homeland-security The American Civil Liberties Union on Monday called for the dissolution of the Department of Homeland Security, calling it a “fail[ed] experiment” that has become a “badge of shame” under President Trump. “Nearly 20 years of abuse, waste, and corruption demonstrate the failure of the DHS experiment. Many knew DHS to be an ineffective superagency, but President Trump has converted DHS into our government’s most notable badge of shame,” the organization said in a series of tweets Monday. “Dismantling DHS, breaking it apart into various federal agencies, and shrinking its federal budget will allow for more effective oversight, accountability and public transparency,” it added.

tgo Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I agree - DHS should be dismantled. We've seen how it can be used as essentially the president's centralized secret police army. DHS is too dangerous and too much of a threat to liberty to not be dismantled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s merely a reorganization of government departments into something a little less monolithic. BTW, conservatives would traditionally support that, too...

El Guapo Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 secret police, the boogieman, etc. But the FBI, well, they are awesome as long as they were trying to take down Trump. You don't need a secret police force to stop rioting and looting. But you cant have candy ass lefty mayors either. So lets see if I get this right. You are ok with 70 days of rioting, looting, etc. but you are against trying to to stop it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 DHS is unnecessary but once again the timing here is absurd. Its going to be painted as liberals trying to undermine law and order. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted August 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 The FBI are not the secret police on the streets assaulting non-violent protesters... Am I ok with violence and looting? No. I’m all for a police presence to stop that. But that isn’t assaulting unarmed, peaceful protesters, which is exactly what Trump has been doing.

Starkiller Posted August 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Just now, oldschool said: DHS is unnecessary but once again the timing here is absurd. Its going to be painted as liberals trying to undermine law and order. Only to people who already believe Trump’s “law and order” bullshit. Most people have been pretty horrified by his secret police force. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
