When Tara Reade credibly accused democrat Joe Biden of sexual assault, liberals explained that “Believe All Women” didn’t really mean believe all women, just the ones accusing Republicans. Now that leftists and their democratic party representatives are screaming to “Defund the Police” and mortifying the majority of Americans, the liberal spin machine is working overtime to explain how that doesn’t actually mean defunding the police. Liberals really need to work on their slogans if they require this much explanation.
Since the liberal media has begun referring to the violent riots raging across the country as “peaceful protests” the message from the smoldering remains of our cities has been “Defund the Police!” Minneapolis, where this crap started, is very close to actually dismantling their whole police department to replace it with hugs and rainbows. Most people in this country think it’s the dumbest thing in the history of idiocy to get rid of all law enforcement so the liberal media has taken it upon themselves to make this sound slightly less moronic.
Here’s that dude from MSNBC:
Ending policing and prison as we know it doesn’t mean ending public safety — it means rethinking and reimagining public safety in ways that ACTUALLY KEEP US ALL SAFE.
Don’t fall for false dichotomies.
Justice is possible.

Next up is that thing from NPR that your tax dollars pay for:
SOME NEEDED CONTEXT:
Activists calling for defunding the police are not always calling for dismantling departments.
In many cases, it means redirecting funds from police departments to other parts of society that help people like housing, education, and communities.

All of CNN:
Everyone on CNN this morning says that “defund” and “dismantle” the police just means reforming the department. If that’s true, why don’t they just call it that so more people can get on board?

And finally Al Sharpton:
“The slogan may be misleading without interpretation,” Rev. Al says on @Morning_Joe of “Defund the Police”

It’s weird how none of the rioters on the streets or the liberal politicians have mentioned any of this. They simply say: “Defund the Police.” In fact, here is Minneapolis city council president, Lisa Bender, admitting that her plan is to completely get rid of the police department. She adds a nice touch by saying that it’s racist “white privilege” if anyone opposes defunding the police:
CAMEROTA: “What if in the middle of the night my home is broken into. Who do I call?”
BENDER: “Yes, I hear that loud and clear from a lot of my neighbors. And I know — and myself, too, and I know that that comes from a place of privilege.” pic.twitter.com/WhubQ9yJIf

For the record, “defund” is a verb that means prevent from continuing to receive funds. If you prevent the police from continuing to receive funds, that means they will cease to exist, which is what these leftist kooks are demanding.
On the politician side of this insanity, the spin isn’t much better. Vapid Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims defunding the police means we stop giving them tanks.
Rep. @AOC: “We would not be giving local police departments who are undertrained A TANK if we didn’t give the military too much money to have extra damn tanks lying around to begin with.” pic.twitter.com/8VUBieyTZD

We don’t currently give surplus tanks to local law enforcement agencies, which is one reason why this is vintage AOC idiocy. The other way is, in defending the “Defund the Police” movement, she’s actually saying “Defund the Military.”
The biggest problem with liberals, besides their shitty ideas, is that the have no idea what words mean. “Defund the Police” is just another in a long line of liberal slogans that fail because they have alternate definitions and realities like “Abortion Saves Lives” and “Trans Women are Women.”
