      “If you won’t let us torment and kill people we’ll stop you from getting justice for rape victims”

      This is one thing a city government could hold a fundraiser for and it would blow any federal funding out of the water.

    3. ICE are horrible and they should be blocked. I am so sick of this administration’s bullying and gaslighting.

      “Yeah rapists are bad and all (this is what pr wants me to say, I don’t believe this) but think about how sad you’re making the poor ICE officers”

      – The Trump administration

      FUCK TRUMP. FUCK ICE. AND FUCK THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THIS DISGUSTING ULTIMATUM. THESE PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK.

      Go ahead DOJ because you’ll lose in the courts like the 100s of other cases you have lost already. Haven’t you gotten humiliated enough in the courts across the country?

    6. At this point, why should we continue paying federal taxes? They’re cutting funding for anything beneficial to citizens and society in general to continue funding wars and fascism. Not to mention outright stealing billions from us.

      I wish my state would stop sending money to the federal govt. Let them get their $$ from their fave red states and see how far that gets them. 

    8. Please, just throw more wood onto to the “we love rapists” fire, great job assholes. 

    9. They aren’t processing rape kits today and the police get way too much funding anyway.

      we have about 3 months till midterms, then we can take care of these clowns

      Does Fresno have so many rapes they can’t afford to prosecute them themselves?

    12. Oh fuck off. Fuck him. What the hell. I had to wait a YEAR for my rape kit to be tested. The backlog is already insane, we have rapists walking the streets because we have no DNA evidence, and they want to CUT FUNDING?

      What happened to getting all the “rapists and murderers off our streets” you giant orange sack of shit? I cannot with this. (Don’t worry, I realize it’s because he’s also a racist pos.)

      I feel like this is a good time to discuss rape kit testing being extricated from the purview of the police.

      Rapists and child molesters grifting to be able to rape more and suffer no consequences. Why it has gotten this far I’ll never understand.

      they don’t process the rape kits anyway. i doubt this will have any tangible effect on victims since they get zero support as it is

      Isn’t the reason they keep telling us they need ICE is because all immigrants are rapists? But then they want to suspend funding to prosecute rapists???

      MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

      I am still floored every day by how stupid fascists are. I was prepared for the evil but not for the stupid

      Sounds like defunding the police. Thought Republicans were firmly against this. Must only be when it fits their needs.

    18. Possible-Courage3771 on

      seeing as the rape kits don’t seem get tested even with the federal funding it’s not that much of a loss

    19. lol, are we surprised that a rapist is threatening to pull funding to things used to hold other rapists accountable? What a joke of a government we are unfortunate witnesses to.

    20. boomerangthrowaway on

      The entire country is being run by a convicted rapist and pedophile, so it shouldn’t really surprise anyone as much as it just is flat out enraging. Politicizing everything they can.. when they said the other side had been doing so. Really doesn’t look like republicans can stop themselves now that they see it’s acceptable for the leader to flaunt and blow past norms and acceptable conduct. Justice for the people needs to come along with more change and progress 😮‍💨

      Well considering Trump is a rapist it shouldn’t surprise anyone he would do this.

      How about we can ramp it up. They take away things……states take away federal tax income……..we’re not getting represented at all anymore anyway
