"Two beautiful world wars."
My God.
My God.
He did an interview with Chris Wallace March 1. Does that count?
When was the last time you watched Fox News ( other than Hannity or Tucker)
Some people obviously think it means getting rid of the police while others say it is about redirecting funds. The fact it has different meanings to different people would make it difficult to really say Biden 'flip-flopped.'
It's a flavor of both. For example, Minneapolis is planning to completely dismantle their law enforcement. New York is moving funding to other areas and they've dismantled their plain-clothed crime units.
Biden is focused on two things: redirecting funds to support other programs (e.g. mental health), as well as limiting federal funding of law enforcement based on undisclosed performance and quality metrics. Not necessarily abolishing law enforcement, but it would certainly have that indirect outcome.
Trump is talking about withholding federal funding to public schools that don't fully reopen. Would the indirect outcome be abolishing public education?
Reduced funding equates to a reduction in resources and equipment, and it limits the scope of work and what's able to be accomplished. Given the precedent set by politicians; however, their language is often vague and generalized as to not panic their constituencies (e.g. Common Sense Gun Measures = Heavily restrict firearms, undocumented immigrant = illegal alien or "peaceful protester" = rioter).
Completely subjective: I would have high confidence that "defunding law enforcement" has an alternative meaning as well.

We are overburdening our cops by having them handle most emergencies in communities. They shouldn't be the ones dealing with the homeless, prostitutes, drug addicts, mentally ill, loose dogs, etc. We can have people who are actual experts on those things handling it. Btw, why are we amping up police funding when we are supposed to be winding down the failed War on Drugs? It's as asinine as increasing military funding when we're getting out of two major wars.
So I can assume you think Trump is seeking to get rid of public education by threatening to cut off funds for schools that don't fully reopen?
Trumps still believes that he is the sharpest tool in the shed. That’s what the inner circle tells him........:shrug:
If Chris Wallace was the Democrat nominee he would absolutely crush Trump in debates.
You people need to stop fantasizing.
After he called out Wallace on crooked polling, Trump absolutely owned him. Wallace had no leg to stand on.

I watch Laura Ingraham and Shannon Bream several times a week, and I watch the Next Revolution With Steve Hilton every Sunday
The argument that I don't watch enough Fox News isn't going to be convincing.
