Please tell me that none of these nitwits have a chance at becoming governor in VA. I’ll have to move again.

Think inside her bubble: She’s obviously frustrated that the 1/6 rioters couldn’t intimidate Reps into voting to somehow voting to overturn the election.

“Hey! Our strategies aren’t working for US! You must have stolen our shitty idea!”

“Friends, today’s verdict makes me sick,” she said during a campaign stop after the decision was announced on Tuesday, per a video tweeted by liberal PAC American Bridge.

Well, if karma has anything to do with it, i suspect you’ll be much, MUCH sicker in the not-too-distant future. Get used to it.

If every law enforcement officer resigns who is worried that someday he might be on trial for spending nine minutes choking someone to death while on duty - well, you’d certainly want them off the force, right? Even if you’re a hard-core law-and-order person.

Now if you think police should be entitled to use any available pretext to kill persons of color in any way they damn well please…well, kindly find yourselves a nice authoritarian regime to live under. Russia, Turkey, Brazil come to mind. Choose one, go there.

Trying to be the biggest bigot out of 7 GOP candidates can’t be easy. On the eyes. Or the heart.

It’s always nice when you discover the exact words of the talking points that have been sent to the GQP. In this case, it’s that the verdict was politically motivated out of fear of violence.

“I am so concerned about law enforcement right now quitting.”

Meanwhile, here in cities that are routinely over-policed by suburban cop gangs getting their rocks off on our blocks, we consider that more of a promise than a threat.
