.@CLEAT's primary stated objections? If a Church's volunteer security team wore uniforms or some other badging (prohibited in final legislation), people might think they were law enforcement; they also worried that those same volunteers might illegally direct traffic. Seriously.
.@cleat rep said "when you put on a uniform, it tends to empower that person & you move from the element of coming up and saying would you mind doing this into the realm of you have to do this because I said you have to do this" - apparently a role reserved for "professionals"?
Seriously. You can't make this up.

A bit of trivia: the United States didn’t ratify the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict until March 2009.

We reserved a “military necessity” clause (e.g. if we deem a target a necessary, it no longer has protection) 1/
We also completely excluded nuclear and other non-traditional weapons from the protocols (e.g. if we use nukes, there is no obligation to protect anything). As far as loopholes go, this might not bode well for certain Iranians.

2/
Oh, and hey, Iran excluded countries they don’t “recognize” from their obligations to protect when they ratified it. (e.g. they didn’t want to get hauled into international court over “cultural stuff” when they try to wipe Israel from the map). Nice people those Iranians. 3/3

A TERRIBLE proposal. I'm grieved.

It should be called “How #UMC traditionalists from around the world demonstrated majority support for their Biblical view, and then had their mandate squandered by US progressives seizing both the narrative and the remains of the Church” 1/
Basic outline: pay the traditionalists to go away nicely, but set a plan in motion where most traditionalist congregations will be trapped in the system and unable to leave.

Prediction: most traditional-minded #UMC congregants will leave UMC entirely over this capitulation
2/
Conferences would vote to disaffiliate by July ‘21, but local congregations would be required* to wait until that happened & then have up to three and a half years for the local church to do something other than what their conference did.

As multiple #TXLege politicians try to jump in front of the parade to take credit for the changing the law back in 2017, let's make sure we are honest about what ACTUALLY occurred with SB2065 in 2017.

1/
Back in 2017's 85th Legislature, there were 3 bills filed in the Texas House with language similar to what was eventually passed. ALL 3 were DOA under then Speaker Straus' leadership. One died in his Homeland Security & Public Safety Committee, the other two died in Calendars 2/
If it wasn't for @MattRinaldiTX's tireless efforts working behind the scenes (& against House leadership), the legislation (added as an amendment to a Senate Bill) would not have passed.
It is not an exaggeration to say his work in #TXLege literally saved lives. Thanks Matt!

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

Jacob Wohl and Laura Loomer say they have been going around Minneapolis in armored cars, with security, because they feel Rep. Ilhan Omar might send someone after them.
If you're wondering who Laura Loomer is, I'll let this clip—from later in the Periscope video—speak for itself. (As you can imagine, the replies are even worse.)
Jacob Wohl and Laura Loomer say in Minneapolis Periscope video “the Islamist forces here have taken over” parts of law enforcement, and that “Sharia Police” enforce Sharia Law. (Fact check: nope.)

Today, @CER_EU publishes my piece on #Brexit and #JHA. I have been looking at this for 1,5 years so I hope I did not make too many mistakes (links to piece - cer.eu/publications/a… and opens thread)
At the outset of the #Brexit process, most people assumed that a deal on #police and #judicial co-operation was easier to get than one on #trade. Time has shown this is not the case. Ongoing co-op on #JHA is one of the few items yet to be agreed on #withdrawal deal. Why?
Well, because the #EU and #UK's opening positions in the #negotiation are incompatible: Britain wants a #bespoke agreement with the EU, a la #Schengen, but is not willing to accept #ECJ or #EUCharter. EU wants to replicate existing models. What to do?
