3. Same thing with security

(This is what I'm sending to my repug senator shortly.)
Let me throw out some names here: Kristi Noem, Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, John Ratcliffe –you confirmed them all. They, in their vast know-nothingness, chose Thomas Fugate, a 22-year-old recent graduate, to head the office overseeing the government’s main hub for terrorism prevention, including an $18 million grant program intended to help communities combat violent extremism. President Pedo and co-president Musk via DOGE cut this incompetent’s staff my 80%. These are the people who could have or should have known of the online threats by the Minneapolis church shooter. That’s what was promised—cooperation, coordination, and shared knowledge when George W. Bush established the Department of Homeland Security. If they had been doing their job, they could have intervened BEFORE he killed 2 and injured 18. We would not, as a nation, be encouraged to pray unceasingly to remedy such vile acts. If prayer worked, I’m sure those praying parents who sent their children off to school would have negated the threat. These folks, who obviously were selected for their incompetence, were placed in those positions by you, with your spineless endorsements and confirmations. You have blood on your hands. We've had Do Nothing congresses before, but the Do Nothing FBI is something wholly created by President Pedo. Now the FBI have been known to sometimes be incompetent and useless but doing nothing is a special Trump feature. They are too busy hunting sandwich hurlers and sifting through the Epstein files. This isn't incompetence. It's not inexperience or even insanity. It is all being done deliberately. It's being supported deliberately. Every one of us is on the slaughterhouse conveyor belt. You hear the machinery working up ahead. You hear the screams. You know keeping your head down isn't going to save it from the blade. STOP THE CONVEYOR BELT! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
