Apparently republicans are attacking General Milley and our military leaders because they, checks notes, went to our best schools…
Tucker Carlson needs his sorry ass pushed out of a C-130 aircraft with a parachute strapped to his back by a couple Navy Seals over a combat zone and see how he fares in combat. What a jerk. Mark Miller didn't get 4 bronze stars for being a coward in combat.
How any military Vet could support Trump and vote for him blows my mind. He is the WORST person imaginable to be the Commander in Chief. He would be hiding in a bunker wetting himself at the first sign of danger. He, nor anyone on his entitled family has any business criticizing men who have served in combat.
It intellectually dishonest to compare voting against a $1.9 trillion dollar spending bill that includes $350 billion dollars in federal givaways to states and localities that they can use essentially however they want and call it defunding the police. If the bill were actually simply a block grant for police agencies, that would be one thing, but the American Rescue Plan does no such thing. It would be the same as saying voting against tax cuts is actually voting against feeding the homeless because people might use the money they would have been taxed to buy food for the homeless.
It would also be intellectually dishonest to claim that Biden wants to defund the police. One 5if these claims is closer to reality as at least one side did vote against what they claim to support but yes you are correct that there is some intellectual dishonesty with that argument as the vote is for the entire package which has a lot more than just funding law enforcement.
It has nothing about funding law enforcement is the issue I take with the argument. It has $350 billion to states and municipalities to do with as they choose. There is no requirement that any of it is spent on law enforcement. Voting against a $1.9 trillion dollar "COVID Relief" bill that has $350 billion that states and municipalities could spend on law enforcement (though the odds of the $350 billion all being spent on law enforcement are essentially nil) is not a vote for defunding the police.
There is no requirement means that it's up to the local states and municipalities which I thought is a tenant of a libertarian federalist system. This freedom allows states and towns who believe they need increased police funding to do it at their own discretion.
