pagegoo.com/police-defunder-ayanna-pressley-continues-to-spend-thousands-in-taxpayer-cash-on-private-security/Far left Massachusetts Democrat and squad member Rep. Ayanna Pressley is still spending thousands on taxpayer-funded private security, despite the fact that she was one of the people who consistently called for defunding the police. You see, it’s fine if your life is put at risk because the police are defunded, but when it comes to her personal security, cost is not even a consideration, even if she is paying for said security with your money. And if you have a problem with that, you’re probably a racist, a sexist, or both. THE DAILY CALLER FIRST REPORTED IN APRIL 2021 THAT PRESSLEY AND MEMBERS OF THE FAR-LEFT GROUP IN CONGRESS CALLED “THE SQUAD” SPENT THOUSANDS OF CAMPAIGN FUNDS ON PRIVATE SECURITY. ============================================ THE SQUAD and their use of taxpayers money. What say you? You like?

values ayannapressley.com/The entrenched disparities and inequities facing communities in the Massachusetts 7th didn’t just happen. They are the result of decades of shortsighted, exclusionary policies that hardened institutional racism, increased income inequality, and advantaged those in power. In Congress, Ayanna is fighting to resist the cruel, draconian policies put forward by the White House, which threaten to take us backwards, and is working every day - in close partnership with community - to advance bold, empathetic policy on issues of consequence to the people of the Massachusetts 7th, from housing and transportation to healthcare, education justice, and the rights of working families. |

There have been no cuts in police, I know of in Massachusetts, and defund the police that has been a talking point of the GOP, got a lot of GOP elected, The idea that was behind "defund the police" was lied about, by the GOP.
The point that was BADLY made by the Dem's, was that the police needed to be reorganized, to face today's challenges and to, do, so we would have to start from, scratch. It was very bad marketing of the idea, and caused the Dem's to lose, many elections.
Defund the police had nothing to do with taking money from the police, just reorganizing them.

#1 Main point: Defund the police had nothing to do with taking money from the people, just reorganizing them.
#2 Main point: The point that was BADLY made[mishandled] by the Dem's, was that the police needed to be reorganized.
I can't speak of what other locales are doing, but here the "defunding" didn't mean reducing budgets for police agencies, it refers to having other professionals for example: to respond in place of police, who don't have expertise in dealing with mentally ill subjects.
As usual, the GOP media and politicos strive to appear as "law & order" proponents, and will twist & distort any words or events to their advantage.

www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/here-are-the-6-house-democrats-that-voted-against-the-1-2-trillion-bipartisan-infrastructure-bill/ar-AAQoFRPParts of the link... Six House Democrats - who make up "The Squad" - rejected the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. Progressives demanded that House leadership put both bills on the floor for a vote at the same time, while moderates called for a vote on the bipartisan bill - without tying it to the larger bill - which was still the subject of debate over its size and scope. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California unfastened the bipartisan bill from the Build Back Better Act, which led to the former bill's successful package, with several key moderates signing on to an agreement paving the way for their backing of the reconciliation bill once its fiscal impact has been released. However, six progressive Democrats - all members who make up the "The Squad" - rejected the legislation late on Friday. The members include: Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan =========================================== "The Squad" the armpit of the Democratic Party.

The point you seem to be making is it hard to get stuff passed in Congress, because making a bill is like doing a balancing act, you please some, and lose others, this is not news?

Rashida Tlaib of Michigan =========================================== "The Squad" the armpit of the Democratic Party. How very telling that the GOP propaganda script writers have picked all persons of color to be a target of hate and fear, labeling them as "The Squad" for the low thinking followers to recognize easily. "Divide and Conquer", "US vs THEM".....Adolf Hitler would be proud.
Some people are convinced that Adolf Hitler has risen from the dead, and is:

Six House Democrats - who make up "The Squad" - rejected the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. So you're saying it's wrong for them to spend campaign funds on private security when they are under threat? They are under threat from Right-wing nut-jobs much like the ones who attacked the capital, and you think they shouldn't spend campaign funds on protection? Apparently, you think Right-wing nut-jobs should have free access to kill legislators that are not sponsored by corporate greed - legislators who are fighting against allowing corporate greed to run the show. And by the way, campaign funds are not tax dollars, but I see nothing wrong with spending tax dollars on security for legislators when they are threatened. Please refer to other's comments for the definition of "defund the police." That said, there's no doubt you fully understand the meaning behind "defund the police," yet you continually beat the drum anyway. You post a link from pagegoo.com. Who ever heard of pagegoo.com? Are you really so stupid to think anyone here would give credence to what a fly-by-night website says? The fact that the site had to print this in big, bold red letters should have told you that you were entering a rabbit hole. No media organization with credentials would do that. Just keep buying into those conspiracy theories oldmontana - you know...Jewish laser beams and such. Wow! Are you going to start complaining about people on this site not allowing a free exchange of ideas now like you typically do? Save it. |

"one of the people who consistently called for defunding the police." Unless you live under a rock or get your information from MSNBC, CNN ETC you would know this. Have a good day! |
