The funny thing about oathkeepers is that some suspected that the founder was a fed informant from the get go.

Also, the group basically says the common person interpretation of what is constitutional or not is preferable to Korematsu v. US being good precedence. There are issues with everyone interpreting the constitution to their liking, of course, but... somehow refreshingly Jeffersonian.

*edit*: taking the mantle of "oathkeepers" is their equivalent of antifa. They are against violating the constitution (or in antifa's case, against fascism). How could you be against that!?

The difference of course, is oathkeepers haven't done much other than march around, and more importantly, generate a member's list.

The entire Capitol police budget is around $460 million. The bill he's referring to included half a billion to address a National Guard budget shortfall and over a billion dollars for Afghan refugee assistance. But when has Glenn ever worried about details when he had the option to feel smug instead?

Expanding the capitol police to satellite offices on the west coast and elsewhere is certainly an expansion of their mission.

I don’t see any version of the bill that doesn’t include tens of millions in increases designed to hire many, many new cops and establish joint offices all over the nation, plus money to cover 06.Jan costs and set up a semipermanent Guard force in DC. So he may have the number wrong, and maybe he’s citing the original house version and not what was eventually passed, but he’s right that the feds did nothing to ch age policing after the violent riots of 2020 and the squad was… for the 100th consecutive time… nothing but whinging children

Either the Capitol police budget was increased by $2 billion, or Glenn made a fucking idiot of himself. I’m sorry, those are the rules. I didn’t write them.

He made a very specific claim that wasn’t just a little inaccurate, but wildly off. He didn’t misstate the budget, he exponentiated it. He took a bill whose primary expenditure was Afghan immigration assistance, and presented the total cost as Capitol police budgeting. There’s no reason to “well, nevertheless…“ that kind of stupidity.

I mean, look what *you* wrote.

That’s your *defense* of it, man. Look how much heavy lifting you’re doing! You don’t need to do that to yourself. Be OK with Glenn Greenwald of all people owning himself unintentionally from time to time. He’s just another fuckstick on Twitter.

What’s the Venn diagram overlap like on “anti-vaxxer” and “willing to abuse police authority?“

Currently suspecting that this happening in every police department would inadvertently accomplish 80% of BLM’s goals.

End capitalism

Dismantle the police

Abolish words like “mom” and “dad” which are gender based and nuclear-family related

I think that’s the list

The NYPD is reportedly investigating an incident that occurred on Tuesday when two of its officers aggressively pushed a subway passenger out of a station. The passenger had reportedly asked the officers, who were maskless, to put on face coverings.

What will we next enforce as we currently do mask mandates?

Why Police Have Been Quitting in Droves in the Last Year.
Asheville, N.C., has been among the hardest hit by police departures in the wake of last year’s George Floyd protests. About a third of the force quit or retired.
