This bill is a total joke! Like seriously, a Department of Peacebuilding? What a waste of taxpayer money! We don't need some government agency holding hands and singing kumbaya, we need real solutions to our problems. This is just another example of politicians wasting our hard-earned money on pointless initiatives. I can't believe anyone would actually support this nonsense. It's time to wake up and see this bill for what it really is - a complete waste of time and resources. #ridiculous #wasteofmoney
