It is the definition of defunding.

Defund- "To redirect funds away from something"

Do you have a better definition? I'm bring mildy facetious. I don't think the 45 minutes a day that Joe is sentient, he actually wants to defund police. But his senile ass is going to have zero chance to stop Trump of convincing people of that while trying to appease his own party with quotes like that one.

It's a definition that can be broadly applied as you have... more narrowly, it has been used in Republican ads to imply that Democrats want to abolish some local police departments. It really doesn't matter. It's not going to happen. Even the Republicans who are pushing this narrative don't really believe it. It's just something that Republicans consider to be a weakness for Democrats in American suburbs. Trump needs to get his numbers up among white women in suburban neighborhoods and he knows it. He has been pushing the "Biden is soft on crime" narrative hard. Considering the 1994 crime bill, it doesn't make any sense.

Welp! Apparently I had exactly one dude on IGNORE... and guess who it was. This is priceless. At some point long ago, I recognized that luther was epic levels of off balance and I put him on Ignore. I mean, you gotta be space-case moron for me to put you on Ignore. Flicka is close, but I have fun hammering him for now. I might promote luther for a minute to see how he has progressed.

Reality has little to do with perception. No one understands and takes advantage of that fact more that Trump. He has spent his entire presidency intentionally blurring the lines between fact and fiction.

Wow, that would be funny if it wasn't so sad. Surely you don't honestly think that Trump isn't the cause for a lot of this or at least some of it. That is just scary. You may need to put down the FoxNews kool-aid for a while, buddy.

Your right it’s not. You seem to insist the dictionary use extra words. Not something they do. If it meant, what you incorrectly think it does, the word reduce would be used.

This is the article cited by the dictionary, indicating that "defund the police" uses this context.

Can Minneapolis Dismantle Its Police Department?

To “abolish” the police, as the Minneapolis City Council member Jeremiah Ellison said he favored, was not exactly the same as “defunding” it, which could mean anything from a dramatic to a slight change to its budget.

I'm sorry, you're wrong.

Yeah, and the Dictionary would recommend using 'You're' instead of 'Your' in the context in your post. Watch that Dictionary. You mess with the Bull, you might get the Horns. Not a Texas fan, BTW.

After thinking about it, yeah it’s Trumps fault for winning in 2016. You guys still can’t accept it. So yeah, people finally snapped and started riots and burning sh!t.
