Fuck my governor who is OK with this violent fascist bullshit. (Credit where it's due: Tapper actually did a decent job of pushing back on my dumbfuck governor's bad faith bullshit in this clip.)
I wish wish wish, Tapper and the rest would, when confronted by this stupid obduracy, say, "You know, this is a waste of time. Come back when you want to have a conversation about current events, not your fantasies," and then cut off the interview. These gutless assholes won't do it thought. They instead let the guy repeat FIVE TIMES, the completely false lies about millions of immigrants to a national audience. Enraging.
Questions like Tappers are considered "gotcha" questions because answering this correctly puts them at odds with the man who wants to deport all his critics.
Counterpoint: the reason we got Youngkin was because of term limits, which are undemocratic. Voters got lazy, did not bother showing up, and voila. Youngkin.
Someone they liked who had been governor before would have been a vast improvement.
The state appears to have presented a figure without fully explaining its methodology or double-checking the information, said Becker, who is a former senior trial attorney in the voting section of the U.S. Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.
If the governor presented this data in a court of law without evidence, Becker believes it wouldn’t stand up to scrutiny.
“Their claims would likely be dismissed until they could come up with something that actually documents how they got to those numbers,” he said.

That's all fine and dandy until that voter tries to vote and can't. WTF good is that going to do AFTER the election counselor?
I used to think the prohibition against a governor serving successive terms in my old state (well, "commonwealth") was a weird anachronism, but it seems wonderful today!
Well, he probably couldn't win again anyway, having rode in on a bullshit demagoguery premised on ending the dual imaginary threats of CRT in middle and high school curricula and gay porn in middle and high school libraries, while being a "moderate" in all other facets of his governing philosophy, the latter being dispelled early and often in his term w/r/t women's reproductive rights, even though he couldn't get his policies through the lege...

It is nice to see the media actually pushing back on Trumpkin. Considering how hard they white washed him while he was campaigning

“YOUNGKIN: I don’t think Trump was referring to sending the military after Americans.
TAPPER: I’m literally reading his quotes to you. He’s literally talking about sending the military after Democrats.
YOUNGKIN: I don’t believe that.
TAPPER: I just read the quote!” Shakes head in disbelief. I got nothing.
Gov. Smirk Pumpkin doesn't find Hair Furor's statements as mean sounding when stated in English, as opposed to the original German versions.

Oh, when you're smilin'
When you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you, baby
Yes, when you're laughin'
Oh, when you're laughin'
The bullshit shines right through
But when you're cryin'
You bring on the pain
So just start lyin'
And be shitty again
We needs to smack that smirk off Youngkin's and Vance's face (with votes).
With a dead, stinking, cross-eyed fish.
The best thing about Virginia is that their governors can only run for one term. It's a good argument for term limits.

OMG I can't stand this guy. He's making my state look ridiculous all over the world. Thanks, dumbass.
“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” - Obligatory.
Youngkin is offal.
Offal libel!
I saw where Trump answered 5 questions at his "town hall" and then spent 39 minutes "dancing(?)" to canned music.
It was like an "American Bundstand" eposode. Dick Clark is spinning in his grave.
Kristi Noem was the guest host.*
* No animals were shot in the production of this program.
*we think
Updoot for American Bundstand.
Danke!
No animals were shot...that we saw.
Duly corrected.
Keep this clip in mind when this fascit in a red fleece vest runs for POTUS.
Gov. Greg Abbott boasted that Texas removed 6,500 noncitizens from its voter rolls. That number was likely inflated.

That is the problem with how slowly courts move.
Greg Abattoir lie about something? Get my fainting couch!
Sorry, JDV has it.
OT: I guess it is Commie Kamala's bday today

Terry McCaullife was a terrible candidate too.
He was. Embarrassing to watch him smugly assume he was going to win during the campaign. Learned nothing from Hillary.
