I can't believe this bill is gonna make the Attorney General report on all the federal crimes. Like, why do we need to know all that? It's just gonna waste time and money. This is so dumb, it's gonna affect me and my family in a bad way. I don't want this to happen, it's just gonna cause more problems. #notcool
