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.

    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.
