#JamesComer's reason for thinking his opponent was laundering money via #ActBlue is because "she couldn't possibly have won in his district".

1. there are no criminal charges, just congressional subpoenas

2. that said, this is still out and out fascism that is aimed at dismantling the democratic party's financial infrastructure

Probably also a good time to remember that #BennyJohnson is one of the #TenetMedia crew who was proven to be taking millions of dollars directly from #Russia / #VladimirPutin (even if unknowingly).

"La legislatura de Tennessee acaba de aprobar la ley SB6002/HB6001 que, entre otras cosas, "crea un delito grave de Clase E para: un funcionario gubernamental estatal o local que adopte o promulgue una política de santuario; o en su calidad de miembro de un órgano de gobierno de un gobierno local, vote afirmativamente para adoptar una política de santuario".

Sin embargo, no define explícitamente qué es una "política de santuario", ni tampoco las leyes a las que se refiere (hasta donde sé).

El Santuario de Elefantes de Tennessee es solo una organización benéfica que realiza un trabajo vital que marcó la casilla en su formulario 990 en 2023 de que es "una organización que normalmente recibe una parte sustancial de su apoyo de una unidad gubernamental".

Entonces... si el gobernador Bill Lee firma esto... ¿les quita fondos a ellos (y a otros santuarios)?

Las leyes mal intencionadas y mal redactadas son malas.

El gobernador Bill Lee debe vetar este proyecto de ley, probablemente no lo hará... porque odia a los elefantes. 😉 🐘

The Elephant Sanctuary In Tennessee is just one charity that does vital work that checked the box on their form 990 in 2023 that they are "an organization that normally receives a substantial part of its support from a governmental unit."

So...if Governor Bill Lee signs this... he pulls funding from them (and other sanctuaries)?

Badly intended, badly written laws are bad.

Governor Bill Lee needs to veto this bill, he probably won't... because he hates elephants. 😉 🐘

🧵 2/3

Tennessee's legislature just passed SB6002/HB6001 which among other things, "creates a Class E felony offense for: a state or local governmental official to adopt or enact a sanctuary policy; or in their capacity as a member of a governing body of a local government, vote in the affirmative to adopt a sanctuary policy."

However, it does not explicitly define what a "sanctuary policy" is, nor do the laws it refers to (as far as I can tell).

🧵 1/3

MAGA Republicans are passing real laws based on baseless conspiracy theories instead of legislation to solve real problems.

In Tennessee, GOP legislators are yelling at clouds. It would be embarrassing if they were capable of shame.

In a joking response, a Democrat from Nashville introduced an amendment to protect fictional beasts, such as Bigfoot.

Breaking: Federal judge rules Tennessee drag restrictions unconstitutional after trial

When he spoke to the obvious FBI agent/prospective hitman hirer, he allegedly told the agent that he was interested in the murder for hire gig because, quote, "being in the military, doing that sort of work already. I was looking into civilian law enforcement (!!!), but that's not for me (AKA he failed the psych eval?). I wanted to do something more exciting."

So much for doing it for his family. Besides, who the fuck commits a major felony for 5 grand!?

At the meeting with the FBI agent, he accepted a $2500 down payment. His only question was if he needed to take a picture of the corpse to get paid the rest.

Now, this might shock you, but he was found to possess an AR-15.

Since being converted into a parody site in 2008, it has led to at LEAST 30 arrests of violent psychos dumb enough to send a resume for a hitman job listing on the internet. Or violent psychos dumb enough to ask for their help in finding a hitman.

So, our barely sentient idiot responded to a request for a hitman on an obvious parody site. Which, I'm sure will shock you, turned out poorly for the moron in question.

However, based on how psychotic he clearly is, it might be the best possible thing to happen to his family.

But, not to be deterred by objective reality or critical thinking, he met his potential employer/obvious FBI agent in person to discuss the job. Apparently, uploading his personal identification and murder for hire resume to a website didn't tip him off to it not being real.

His resume claims he is an "Expert Marksman" and that he had earned the nickname "Reaper" in the TN Air National Guard. Again, I am also the Queen of England.

National Guardsman Arrested After Allegedly Seeking Assassin Job on Parody Website RentAHitman.comAccording to the U.S. District Attorney's Office Middle District of Tennessee, Josiah Ernesto Garcia has been charged with use of interstate facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire

Today, in "what the fuck is going on with the air national guard?!"

21 year old Tennessee Air National Guardsman, Josiah Ernesto Garcia, was apparently looking for work as a contract killer.

So, when he came across www.rentahitman.com, he jumped at the opportunity to...apply for the job by sending his personal identification documents and a fucking resume to become a hitman.

Go to that website to see how fucking dumb one must be to take it seriously. It's a parody website that references the "Hitman Information Privacy & Protection Act of 1964" in the popup warning users of its Cookies policy.

It has testimonials from satisfied customers.

It has career profiles for Alec Baldwin and Kyle Shittenhouse.

And this 21 year old, barely sentient moron whom our nation has trusted with weapons, decided it would be a great way to earn extra money for his family. Yeah, sure, and I'm the Queen of England, lol.

"None of this is easy, especially in a state so heavily gerrymandered and so anti-democratic as Tennessee, but our ancestors faced worse and they prevailed. So will we, as long as we stay in the streets, in the halls of power and in the front of the chamber–together." - Justin Pearce
