This says a lot about the zeitgest of today's Republican Party...

If I understand, I think it is outrageous that they would ban anyone from associating with anyone else. The fact that anyone would have even thought to introduce such a fascist measure is grotesque. passing the measure woulda been a win for fascism, not a defeat. If the dems introduced such a bill, I would hope they'd have the fortitude to kill it. Good god, the BIG GOV pubs are obsessed with social engineering.

But, to be fair, it's not like the bill was about suggesting quantity of meat consumption or something.

 

The devil is in the details, and in this case - definitions.

Not sure why anyone needs to banned from anyone.

 

FYI, this dude's bro lives across the st. Met him last year at the bro's xmas party. he was the spokesperson for the oath keepers. I like him.



he even sent me a pdf of his book a few months before it being published.

 

Jason Van Tatenhove? He said he left Oathkeepers after hearing some members express denial of the Holocaust. He has family who is Jewish.

I understand life is messy and complex and no one is exactly what they seem. But I wasn’t expecting a tattooed former militia member to be talking to me from a kitchen table in suburban New Jersey, alongside his Jewish aunt and cousin.

Van Tatenhove’s uncle, Toki Tolkach, married Robin Mintz, a Jewish woman from northern New Jersey. Van Tatenhove himself, who is 48, grew up in Green Pond, New Jersey, where one of his best friends, from age 2, was his cousin Sarah Coen Cwiak, who is a year younger.

“You know, they’re married into the family,” he said, “but they’re still family.”

Van Tatenhove, a former Oath Keepers spokesman, said he was living at reduced rent with his wife and two of his four daughters on a Montana property that belonged to one of the group’s wealthy supporters.

 

yeah. He lives in Estes Park now

 

There's a lesson in this.

 

his story is that he was undercover all along with the goal of writing an insider book. His model being HST’s Hells Angels.
