President Trump has ordered the shutdown of the first nationwide database tracking misconduct by federal police officers.

The closure, first reported by the Washington Post on Thursday, ends the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database — a resource experts said improved public safety by preventing bad officers from jumping from agency to agency.

    I feel like a good guide to “good policies the next democratic presidential candidate should promote” should be the opposite of the list of things Trump did in his first month.

    Its going to be a 60 year-old rich democrat from New England promising to “work across the aisle” and “promote small businesses with tax cuts and less regulation”, but hopefully some of this stuff will be undone.

      How fucking naive are you people? Do you just not listen to the words people say? Do you think they’re joking?

      “I love you. You got to get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not going to have to vote.”

      Go to protests now, or it will be too late.

      Optimistic of you to assume that they’re not going to appoint someone like Chuck Schumer (74), Dick Durbin (80), or Nancy Pelosi (84) as the nominee after another blatantly rigged primary process…
