We're real sure they had a good reason for doing this.
No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen:
Glenn Youngkin’s administration just admitted they have purged THOUSANDS of Virginia voters from the voter rolls ahead of next week’s critical elections.
They previously said they were only removing about 270 voters.
This is just wrong. They should be required to do so where voters have sufficient time to verify they're still registered or can re-register before the election.
It'd be like those pharma ads where actors talk about coming to terms with their diagnosis of FC, and what the new treatment options have meant to them.
They don't tell you what the hell FC is. They want you to search it so they drive up web hits, I guess. "Promoting Awareness."
It's outrageous that we do. Nobody else does. Yet they work, or the pharmas wouldn't spend billions on them ($8 billion last year on TV ads alone). Doctors are writing off-label prescriptions of diabetes drugs so their patients can lose weight without eating less. And some of them, their digestive systems are going dormant; because that's how the drug works, which is why it's only supposed to be used for people who would otherwise die of diabetes so the risk is worth it. But the rich and spoiled badger their private on-retainer doctors, who are perfectly willing to prescribe $1000/month drugs to keep their clients.
The stark difference between the trump and Biden projects is on full display with Karine and Kirby. Coherent and largely truthful. It's somewhat difficult to recall just how horrible were Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Stephanie Grisham, and Kayleigh McEnany at their jobs.
She didn't. Spicer was worth watching, the first one or two times. If only to add context to Melissa McCarthy's dynamite SNL parodies.
The one where she, as Spicy, had the custom self-propelled lectern and was ramming it into everybody was genius. And foreshadowed Smoky-Eyed Sarah eerily.

Republicans: What if we pay for aid to Israel by cutting tax revenue?
From WaPo:
"House Republicans on Monday announced a proposal to pay for emergency aid to Israel by cutting the expansion of the Internal Revenue Service that President Biden had approved, an effort aimed at cracking down on rich tax cheats and improving taxpayer service."
I don't understand Republican opposition to funding the IRS. Is it just more of their BS pandering to their base or do they have some substantive reasons? Do they *support* letting tax cheats (e.g. wealthy individuals like Trump) get away with not paying taxes?
This has been the R way for decades. They decimated the IRS to a skeleton crew that could only afford to go after the peasants who didn't have the money to fight back like the rich fucks do. Those tax cheating offshore accounts aren't for the poor.
Then they want to fall all over themselves telling everyone what great philanthropists they are which are TAX DEDUCTIBLE. I can't believe people fall for this shit.
'Nope. We are going back to traditional ways. You like tradition, right? Good - you and some of your family report to the new pyramid we've built to Huītzilōpōchtli. We're ripping out hearts to appease him and ensure that the Sun rises daily. And don't tell me that's not how it works. We've had 40 years of Republican tax cuts and no-one got richer. This works at least. And rub some lotion on your skin too, I'll be wearing it this time tomorrow'
Like Christopher Wray demanded an investigation of Brett Kavanaugh after he was credibly and repeatedly accused of rape and sexual harassment -- and then the FBI ignored the 4500 calls that came in?
Youngkin is a straight up Confederate in a nice sweater and people like Murdoch like him and want to support him for POTUS because he looks respectable but will help them swindle and bankrupt the country for their own use by subverting democracy
"GossJankowski, 'who appears to stand at least 6 feet, 3 inches tall and is exceptionally muscular,' began to brawl with federal agents who were attempting to detain him."
Now that a friend has fixed the leaky toilet, I don't have any scary house noises, thank the Lord.
Now if only a particular person would just choke on a hamberder, we could have some peace and quiet.

Glenn Youngkin's administration therefore demonstrably lies like a cheap fucking doormat.

From WaPo:

Gods, they’re assholes
ETERNAL FACEPALM.
Yeah, our corporate masters hate paying taxes and refuse to do so so wring the peasants dry.
I believe with the expansion of the IRS they collected $125M in the past few months from these rich fucks.
“Let’s pay for this thing by crippling our ability to get money for this thing.”
I don't understand Republican opposition to funding the IRS. Is it just more of their BS pandering to their base or do they have some substantive reasons? Do they *support* letting tax cheats (e.g. wealthy individuals like Trump) get away with not paying taxes?
Oh -- and yes, it's the wealthy who are both responsible for their positions and blackmailing them for them to stay in said positions
So the answer to that last question is "yes"
This has been the R way for decades. They decimated the IRS to a skeleton crew that could only afford to go after the peasants who didn't have the money to fight back like the rich fucks do. Those tax cheating offshore accounts aren't for the poor.
They've a been cheating on their taxes and they don't want to get caught
Also their billionaire taskmaster don't want to pay ANY taxes
Then they want to fall all over themselves telling everyone what great philanthropists they are which are TAX DEDUCTIBLE. I can't believe people fall for this shit.
Yes, you can -- because no matter how contemptible their taskmaster are for believing them stupid, they also WANT to believe it
Yes. Yes they do.
Yes - they get lots of cash and favors from billionaires perfectly happy with not paying taxes.
House Republicans can take a flying f**k at a rolling donut.
Of course, they are. Ain't going to happen though.
I hate those fuckers. There's always a good reason to ease taxes: "Okay, how about this: we have to cut taxes so the sun will rise in the East."
'Nope. We are going back to traditional ways. You like tradition, right? Good - you and some of your family report to the new pyramid we've built to Huītzilōpōchtli. We're ripping out hearts to appease him and ensure that the Sun rises daily. And don't tell me that's not how it works. We've had 40 years of Republican tax cuts and no-one got richer.

Shoot this shit down. Tell the public that Republicans are adding a poison pill to Israel aid, because they obviously don't want to support Israel.
That should be fine with trump's johnson. Do unto others as they would do unto you.

Youngkin’s team removes 3,400 legal voters ahead of key Va. elections - The Washington Post
https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/10/29/youngkin-virginia-elections-voter-rolls/
At least some of this was known weeks ago:

took care of that last week!
It took TWO WEEKS for this news just to make the Washington Post
Louise Lucas from the VA Democratic Senate and Raw Story have been sounding the alarm since then
He's demanded an investigation.
Like Christopher Wray demanded an investigation of Brett Kavanaugh after he was credibly and repeatedly accused of rape and sexual harassment -- and then the FBI ignored the 4500 calls that came in?
Like that ...?
What Geoff said. Youngkin is as dishonest as any of the rest of those shits.
I'm thinking more like "why weren't more purged and why did we get caught?"
"And who can we silence or fire so that it doesn't happen again ?"
Youngkin is a straight up Confederate in a nice sweater and people like Murdoch like him and want to support him for POTUS because he looks respectable but will help them swindle and bankrupt the country for their own use by subverting democracy
He’s scared.
As well he should be.
Seems to me such egregious actions by a state legislator should demand legal prosecution.
This is NOT acceptable.
Rs don't punish their own they help them lie, cheat and steal. If they have any power in the state this will be buried.
OT. Big man vs. four US Marshals plus FBI staff.
