How is it possible that NOBODY has tweeted about a deep dive into the Oath Keepers 990s yet?
Also, I'm wondering - will involvement in conspiracy to commit insurrection overturn the non-profit status they were granted by the IRS during the Trump administration?
Oh, wait - it seems that this org formed in 2018, and dissolved Oct 31, 2020?
Listening to @RepMcCaul on @CNNSotu, I have to wonder why he's talking about paying people's electric bills off using federal funds, when those "exorbitant" rates are pretty clearly a violation of Texas §17.46(b)(27).
Any bills already issued should be comped, and each instance should be counted as a violation.
If doubling the price of water during an emergency is considered price gouging, increasing costs on something required for survival by an order of magnitude is certainly price gouging.
I don't care if the PUC authorized a rate hike.
An 18,000% increase is not a 'hike.'
A two-fold increase in the order of magnitude in something required for survival is NOT a hike. It's beyond gouging.
This is an especially interesting photo to me, given the themes many of us have written on in the past few years. It brings together the Oathkeepers, someone in a crew jacket from Michael Jackson's "Bad" tour, Netjets corporate schwag, and an interesting Nascar timeline
Sure - that pic doesn't directly reference NASCAR - but it shows that the Oathkeepers were founded in 2009, and it only took 4 yrs for them to get enough funding to sponsor an Earnhardt on the Nascar circuit?
Note: the "Nationwide" circuit that the car was on in 2013 is now the "Xfinity" circuit - it's equivalent to NASCAR's "minor league."
The first amendment places no restriction on freedom of speech.
Freedom of speech is not freedom of paid _amplification_.
You can't keep dangerous things from being amplified by word of mouth, but restricting broadcast or electronic amplification is totally kosher.
It's not the speech that Trump is being impeached for.
It's the broadcasting, the paid propaganda & adverts.
It's the use of the presidency to SPREAD that message that, were he just rando naked guy on the corner, prolly wouldn't have drawn enough support to take over Starbucks
Trump used the attention and free media granted by the Office of the President to amplify his message that incited and produced imminent lawless action.
This video from Parler features recently arrested Robert Gieswein of Colorado, seen in photographs outside @RepBoebert's bar and with @repBoebert as they move into ranger formation ~1302, breaking the window outside the Senate ~1400. projects.propublica.org/parler-capitol…
As identified in these photos by @arawnsley, we have a match.
I seriously question which Seattle hospitals keep COVID patients on a "highly trafficked" hallway in the ER.
Here's the assignment for the purported non-mask-wearer. The two ERs in that precinct are either the UW system or BluePearl Pet hospital (which I doubt would have been the location of said report).
So, UW Medical Center Northwest.
Perhaps someone who works at @UWMedicine could confirm if they assign ER patients to "rooms" instead of "beds," and if so, if they keep known COVID patients in the ER off a 'busy hallway;'
and if there was indeed an incident with any LEO refusing to wear masks at the facility.
