There are problems with the FBI, but I’m betting the problems he has with the FBI are the exact opposite of my problems with it.

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!

As sad as it is, compared to local law enforcement here in the US though, they're a breath of fresh air.
Oh yeah, that's part of what I mean. My problems with the FBI (and law enforcement in general) are related to the balance of power and the mechanisms available for protecting the public. The widespread issues of white supremacist and/or christian dominionists in positions of authority over regular people are a huge problem, but I bet DeSantis is all about those guys. They're his people, even if just for political convenience.
I'm all for a partial purge: we should purge it of every agent who was willing to overlook the law because of political bias. Anyone who does their job, regardless of their political beliefs, should stay.
I wonder if he would actually do half the things he is campaigning on. A lot of what he doing in Florida are just populist policies to score points with idiots. He is fully aware they are gonna be challenged and likely overturned (or scaled down) by courts, but he just cares about the immediate "news" points he gets when the law is passed and he brags about it.
Definitely abhorrent human being willing to do anything just to score politically.
OK, Ron. Your a terrible human.
Step 1 for covering up his crimes and being a traitor
I feel like he's pulling an RFK Jr. No chance at winning the primaries, so he's just going to blurt off things that many people will resonate with (but have no chance at happening), then when he loses people will feel cheated. Kinda like Bernie
So he plans to fire Federal Government Employees with no justification? That doesn't sound legal.
Definitely not, "Just gotta commit mass corruption without getting arrested."
The "law and order" party strikes again...
