Could anything be richer than the Democrats, who have turned the Capitol into a literal military base, where they hind behind bared wire, fences and thousands of military men, voting to ‘defund the police’?
Orwell could not make this up if he tried!
Bongino Reported:
‘House Democrats are advancing their anti-police agenda, passing the “George Floyd Justice in Policing Act” last night in a 220-212 vote. Only one Republican voted for the bill (which turned out to be accidental) while 219 Democrats voted in favor. Two Democrats opposed the bill.
The legislation is wide ranging, banning no-knock warrants, mandating data collection on police encounters, and prohibiting racial and religious profiling. One part of the bill that “redirects funding to community-based policing programs” gives the “defund the police” movement exactly what they want.
The bill was co-sponsored by far-left Rep. Karen Bass, who once eulogized the Communist Party USA leader.
As reported by the Daily Wire:
“Democrats just voted to defund the police,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said in a statement. “The unfunded mandates in their bill, H.R. 1280, would cost police departments hundreds of millions of dollars—the equivalent of taking 3,000 cops or more off the streets. Our men and women in uniform deserve better.”
Jason Smith & Jim Jordan sent a letter to the Congressional Budget Office Director, and listed some of their issues with the bill:
“It is our understanding that H.R. 1280 contains provisions that significantly violate the current Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) threshold of $85 million,” the letter stated. “It is further our understanding that these provisions may in fact result in additional costs to state, local, and tribal governments totaling in the hundreds of millions of dollars which would deprive these localities of the resources needed to provide adequate policing and public safety services in their communities.”
“We respectfully ask that CBO provide a detailed estimate of the total cost that the mandates included in H.R. 1280 would impose on state, local, and tribal governments if it were enacted into law,” the letter concluded.
The bill will face strong opposition in the Senate, with Democrats’ only chance of a Republican voting in favor being another accidental vote. Meanwhile, Democrat Joe Manchin has explicitly opposed the “defund the police” movement, meaning his party won’t have enough votes to pass out.’
This is what communists do, they remove the ability for honest citizens to defend themselves, and then they remove their protections as promised by law enforcement.
Once the people are defenseless … well, if you watched those PBS specials in the 80’s and 90’s on the Holocaust I think you have a pretty good idea.
