So glad Carter isn't around to see this. Fucking Habit for Humanity? The, "we won't give you a house for nothing, you need to literally build it with some help" folks?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Keep in mind that one of the purposes of these actions is to force these organizations to waste millions of dollars and months of time defending themselves. That's money and time not being spent actually doing the job they're supposed to be doing, and therefore giving a false impression that the entire organization is just a waste of taxpayer money since they're not actually accomplishing anything and keep being subject to criminal investigations.
Basically, if the optics of shutting down an agency are too bad even for Trump's standards, he'll just drown them in litigation and render them ineffective instead. The end result is pretty much the same for all practical purposes.
Hard to even defend yourself against bullshit allegations when your bank account is frozen at the request of the Fascist Bureau of Intimidation.
There are no non-violent solutions
To quote American Dad: "I know I said violence is never the answer...but it has just become, the answer".
Their crime? They helped poor people, which in Trump's eyes is defrauding the wealthy.
Suck it asshats who ever thought the people at the FBI (*cough Mueller) were ever going to save us.
Does anyone remember when Robert Mueller railroaded Bruce Ivins for the Anthrax attacks in 2001 until Ivins committed suicide?

Ex Post Facto laws are back on the table, eh?
Cool. Cool cool cool. Nothing fascist about that.
These people really want to watch the world burn
But at least we saved Gaza!
Oh geez, this is real fuckin bad.
Let’s hope someone can Mario part trump and every single republican representative. It’s honestly the only way forward. Preferably all in one day so the retarded followers can’t get their propaganda consumption to spew idiot messaging. Thank god they’re too fucking stupid to join lemmy cause we’d have to clean up in here.
What do we do?? What the fuck do we do??
