Basically, house Republicans voted to defund DC police because even though it’s not federal money, they fact that that have the power to pass laws affecting DC means that they can claim these as “cuts”. Again, defunding the DC police doesn’t help the federal government save a dime. But it’s technically a budget cut, just not the budget cut they’re supposed to working on. Yes, it’s that silly.
What about the thin blue line as the libs were calling for defunding the police?
They will just replace with military. It’s not like they are going to go unprotected. I think this is all about a grudge Krasnov has against the DC police defending the capital on January 6th 2021 from his planned insurrection.
Proud someone else is calling this fuck by his real name. Fuck Krasnov!
That was the capitol police, not DC. I believe they are feds.
Isn’t DC all federal?
Idk, DC is weird when it comes to… Well, everything
Marvel isn’t any better.
just like the military, they outlived thier usefulness.
DC Police weren’t exactly fans of January 6th. Could this be a move to weaken an opposition to a possible coup?
The cops let it happen, though.
The insurrectionists also killed a cop.
No, they stood against it, putting their bodies on the line, with one dying. They just critically undermanned the defences. All cops are bastards, but they can also sometimes do the right thing, and they did in this case.
“Defund the police!”
“… No, wait, not by the baddies!”
The 2nd step is using the funds to alleviate poverty and creating other organizations to handle mental health crisises IIRC.
Ah… Will you settle for soothing billionaires’ egos and making them richer?
They are projecting so hard
More like vomit projecting.
Noted
How’s that thin blue line doing?
It’s private military contractor time!
In a nice, brown uniform and operated by the republican party!
I suspect they’re about to replace them with armed murder drones.
Can’t have a coup if they don’t bring the military in. Robots won’t have a moral dilemma and back the people.
Why is the GOP so soft on crime?!
Because they have a hardon for insurrectionists?
bAck tHE BLue
Such a great idea!
If Republicans did it, it’s likely got horrendous consequences somehow
They are positioning to not transition any power ever. 50501
Isn’t it surreal to imagine this administration not ratfucking elections? Isn’t it hard to imagine them ever ceding power peacefully? The legal challenges can and should occur, but they’re not going to save us in the end I fear.
As a wise (???) man once said: The courts have made their decision, now let them enforce it.
Legal challenges will not be enough.
There’s a checklist, with a box after the jury box.
Ah shit
They are setting things so they cant be stopped. This is all phase 1.
I think you mean they’re setting things so they can only be stopped a certain way.
Huh, so weird.
Oh, that brings joy to me. Had a friend who “serves” in DC police. Not a friend anymore as he gladly picked 51st state bs and started trolling, praising their cartoonish fuhrer.
I’d even talk to him again if gets defunded and laid off. With glee.
I feel like this is not going to work out in the way they think it will
