Remember assholes, you voted for this
[Spectator] Next year, Democrats will control both houses of Virginia's state Legislature as well as its governorship. On November 18, State Sen. Dick Saslaw introduced a bill that he will sponsor in the 2020 legislative session. That bill will outlaw not only the sale or transfer but also the possession of certain firearms.
Saslaw's bill - SB 16 - provides that "It is unlawful for any person to import, sell, manufacture, purchase, possess or transport an assault firearm" and makes such actions a Class 6 felony. (In Virginia, Class 6 felonies are punishable by imprisonment for between one and five years.)
SB 16 provides that a wide range of center-fire rifles, pistols, and shotguns are included in the definition of to-be illegal firearms:
1. A semi-automatic center-fire rifle that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material with a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 10 rounds;
2. A semi-automatic center-fire rifle that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has one of the following characteristics: (i) a folding or telescoping stock; (ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the rifle; (iii) a thumbhole stock; (iv) a second handgrip or a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand; (v) a bayonet mount; (vi) a grenade launcher; (vii) a flare launcher; (viii) a silencer; (ix) a flash suppressor; (x) a muzzle brake; (xi) a muzzle compensator; (xii) a threaded barrel capable of accepting (a) a silencer, (b) a flash suppressor, (c) a muzzle brake, or (d) a muzzle compensator; or (xiii) any characteristic of like kind as enumerated in clauses (i) through (xii);
3. A semi-automatic center-fire pistol that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material with a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 10 rounds;
4. A semi-automatic center-fire pistol that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has one of the following characteristics: (i) a folding or telescoping stock; (ii) a thumbhole stock; (iii) a second handgrip or a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand; (iv) the capacity to accept a magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip; (v) a shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the pistol with the non-trigger hand without being burned; (vi) a manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; (vii) a threaded barrel capable of accepting (a) a silencer, (b) a flash suppressor, (c) a barrel extender, or (d) a forward handgrip; or (viii) any characteristic of like kind as enumerated in clauses (i) through (vii);
5. A shotgun with a revolving cylinder that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material; or
6. A semi-automatic shotgun that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material that has one of the following characteristics: (i) a folding or telescoping stock, (ii) a thumbhole stock, (iii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the shotgun, (iv) the ability to accept a detachable magazine, (v) a fixed magazine capacity in excess of seven rounds, or (vi) any characteristic of like kind as enumerated in clauses (i) through (v).
There is no way in hell this will survive a court challenge, but it shows you what the fascist/socialist party is "gunning" for. Your complete disarmament and dependency on them.

"Your honor, my personal defense weapon does not expel projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material.

That won't be the local sheriff. He and his deputies want to go home that night and walk back to their cars in the morning to drive to work.
They'll have to put together a state team. That might work one or two times. Then there be the inevitable Concord Bridge incident. The folks in Richmond will panic and activate the National Guard. Only to find out they are gun owners as well. Then watch the idiots call upon the President to send federal troops in. I could hear Trumping laughing already from here.
Sen. Kamala Harris is ending her presidential campaign.
Harris, D-Calif., informed her staff Tuesday that she is suspending her campaign, an aide told CNBC.
Earlier Tuesday, CNBC reported that Harris canceled a fundraising event in New York amid reports of turmoil within her campaign. Tulsi Gabbard says: "Kiss my @ss"
Harris, 55, was the only black candidate whose polling numbers and national media attention had placed her in the top tier of the 2020 contest, if only for a short while.
She made waves with her announcement in January, nailing a campaign rollout that earned praise from Democrats ‐ and even a compliment from President Donald Trump.
"I would say, the best opening so far would be Kamala Harris," Trump said at the time.
In the months following her positive first impression, Harris and her campaign showed the makings of a contender who might be in it for the long haul.
She landed perhaps the hardest and clearest punch of the early primary debate cycle, when she tore into the frontrunner, former Vice President Joe Biden, over his comments about working with segregationist lawmakers and his past views on busing.
The attack gave her a spotlight on that stage, as well as a clear bump in the polls and a hefty fundraising boost.
But her rise in popularity appeared to evaporate soon after, and her performance in the second debate was widely viewed as subpar. Harris’ fundraising numbers consistently trailed her leading competitors, and some of her donors reportedly considered dropping her if she failed to impress going forward.
Asked about Harris’ exit from the 2020 race, Biden said Tuesday that he had "mixed emotions," though he added that Harris was a first-rate intellect and a strong competitor, NBC News reported.
A spokesman for the Trump campaign did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment on the latest departure from the Democratic primary.
Harris also faced criticism on her policy platform. In her breakout first debate performance in June, Harris had raised her hand when a moderator asked which of the candidates supported abolishing private insurance in favor of a government-run single-payer alternative.
A day later, she appeared to reverse herself, saying a Harris administration would preserve supplemental private insurance.
As the Iowa caucuses neared, Harris’ campaign further suffered from a lack of a clear strategy and a fractured and disgruntled campaign staff, according to multiple media reports.
By the end of November, the RealClearPolitics aggregate of candidate polls showed Harris sliding into the low single digits, while the nearest candidate above her, South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, appeared to be surging higher.
[Politico] Kamala Harris is dropping out of the presidential race, she told staff on a call Tuesday. She will release a video momentarily announcing her plans.

Beware. She's likely running for Attorney General.
God help us.
Biden, Buttigieg, Harris, Klobuchar, Sanders, Warren have qualified.
Yang and Gabbard need one more poll.
Steyer needs to reach donor number threshold.
Booker needs 4 more polls and thus doesn't look like he'll make it.
Deval Patrick only announced recently and won't qualify.
Mike Bloomberg won't be accepting ANY donations and so will not be in any of the Dem Debates. He has, however, used his decline of donations as a talking point in ads and is already past Kamala Harris in some polls.
Details at the link.

Oh, goody - more insufferable Tom Steyer ads to look forward to. I heard the same 'Term Limits!' radio ad every fucking 1/2 hour on the local sports talk radio channel yesterday.
h/t Gates of Vienna
[Daily Mail] The lawyer representing Hunter Biden in his paternity case abruptly withdrew on Monday while his client blew off the hearing, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
Biden, 49, was not in the second-floor courtroom in Batesville, Arkansas, when his attorney former Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel quit.
...In the hearing, Judge Don McSpadden said he would need at least three years of Biden's tax returns before he could reach a decision on monetary support for the child, whose sex has not been revealed.
Earlier this week, DailyMail.com revealed Biden filed a request to seal all financial records to spare himself public 'embarrassment' amid claims of 'significant debts'.
...In his motion to withdraw, McDaniel ‐ a former Arkansas Attorney General ‐ said Biden's personal lawyer had 'advised' him that he was being discharged.
'(C)ounsel will take all steps reasonably practical to protect defendant's interests and make every effort to ensure an efficient and judicious transition for new counsel.' McDaniel wrote.
Judge McSpadden also ordered Biden's team to provide Roberts with a valid address and phone number for him so papers can be properly served.
[HOTAIR] Are we really still referring to South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg ...the testicleless mayor of South Bend, Indiana, since 2012. Buttigieg graduated from Harvard College and, on a Rhodes Scholarship, from Pembroke College, Oxford. From 2007 to 2010, he worked at McKinsey and Company, a consulting firm. From 2009 to 2017 Buttigieg served as an intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve, attaining the rank of lieutenant and deploying to Afghanistan in 2014. Buttigieg was first elected mayor of South Bend in 2011 and was reelected in 2015. During his second term, he announced he was gay. Buttigieg also campaigned for Indiana state treasurer in 2010 and for chair of the Democratic National Committee in 2017, losing both elections. He is running for the Dem nomination in 2020 on the theory that being mayor of a nondescript medium sized city is qualification to run the country... as one of the "moderate" candidates in the Democratic primary? Because if so, he’s really doing his level best to shed that title and move into the socialist lane. Yesterday he was having a discussion with the Reverend William Barber when the subject of illegal immigration came up. Barber tossed out some seriously open borders style propositions and found a willing ear with Buttigieg.
First Barber asked if we shouldn’t stop "demonizing" illegal aliens. Mayor Pete didn’t just agree with him. He went one step further, saying "Yeah, I mean the uncomfortable reality is that undocumented folks are in many ways, like Social Security, subsidizing everybody else."

SS, Part 207.
This absurd comment -- "the uncomfortable reality is that undocumented folks are...subsidizing everybody else" -- shows how completely out of touch with reality our ridiculous political class is.
Got it? Illegals are subsidizing us.
Right.
Night = day.
Up = down.
Slavery = freedom.
Illegal alien carpetbaggers = Heroic Citizens.

Allowing Illegals IS subsidising THEM.
Lower wages and higher rents make THEM richer and the vast majority of Americans poorer (and living in more danger of crime).

Mr. Bloomberg is in the race to beat Sanders and Warren, not Trump. It's self preservation for him and his caste. They're taking the neo-Bolsheviks as a serious threat.

SS, continued. Supposedly smarty-pants Pete can't even do basic arithmetic. The illegals send billions of $ earned in the US out of this country every year - back to Mexico.
They are literally "subsidizing" the Mexican countryside and artificially propping up the Mexican economy - at the expense of the American communities that educate their children in the public schools, provide them healthcare through local ERs funded by Obamacare, and absorb the cost of other public services for them.
Including the cost of their Obamacare, we are now spending on the order of $100 billion so that these invaders can trash our low-end labor market and send almost the same amount of hard currency out of this country. That a US politician cannot see this basic equation or do this math should be enough reason to throw him out of office.

No opinions on Mexico Mr Buttigieg? A state that is so bad their citizens have to sneak across the border at great risk to earn enough money to survive? A state whose pro-oligarchy policies limit foreign investment that might help the situation while also ensuring that those forced to seek jobs in America come primarily from Mexico's Indigenous groups and not from those descended from Europeans?

I'm coming to the thinking that the democrats actually all have a death wish, they are too cowardly to off themselves so they're trying to get us to wipe them out.
Brilliant idea. Throw more Progressive money straight into the national economy without stopping to get yet another Democrat elected to anything.
[HOTAIR] It’s not going to happen this election cycle, however, there is speculation Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Congressman Adam Schiff ...Showboating U.S. Representative for California's 28th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Schiff has served in Congress since 2001. He currently serves as the chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In a manner reminiscent of Joe McCarthy, on March 22, 2017, in a interview with Chuck Todd on MSNBC Schiff claimed there was “more than circumstantial evidence now” that Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia." Todd followed up by asking if he had seen direct evidence of collusion and Schiff responded that there was "evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation... is looking towards higher office. The only question is how high. A new report from The Hill suggests Schiff has his eyes on either the Senate or a future residency in the White House.
Some Democrats see him as the natural heir to 86-year-old Sen. Dianne Feinstein ...Dem Senator-for-Life from Caliphornica. She has been a politician since about the time she was weaned. Feinstein was the author of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, and tried it a second time in 2012. Feinstein has chaired the Select Committee on Intelligence since 2009. At age 80, Feinstein is the oldest currently serving United States Senator.... (D-Calif.); others say the 19-year Southern California congressman is a House guy through and through and could one day run to succeed Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments... (D-Calif.), his close ally. One of his House colleagues from the Golden State said she saw a president in the making as Schiff led the televised hearings these past two weeks.
"When we look at the characteristics of what we want to see in a president, it is somebody who is not going to lose composure because he’s been poked. And we’re seeing that on display from Adam Schiff every single day," said the California Democratic politician. "He’s not too vanilla. But I kind of want that now after Trump. We need boring; boring is good."
Schiff obviously isn’t boring but someone who appears to be doing his best to be a Very Serious Politician when he’s far from it. He proved it last week in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper where he spoke from both sides of his mouth on the impeachment question. Tapper asked Schiff directly if he believed President Donald Trump should be impeached and the answer was, "I want to discuss this with my constituents and my colleagues before I make a final judgment on it."

A story about a doofus politician based solely on speculation and his perceived worth as a Presidential candidate - that's a lotta worthless elements right there.
[BIZPACREVIEW] Democratic gaffe machine Joe Biden continued his role as the unofficial chair of the Trump reelection campaign by making another epic blunder that underscores that someone should put a fork in him. Because he’s done. This time, Biden — who never met Kim Jong Un — claimed he “spent a lot of time” with the leader of North Korea.
Biden spouted the boldfaced lie during a campaign stop in Iowa on Saturday (Nov. 30). Joe bragged to a tiny roomful of supporters that authoritarian leaders like Kim Jong Un will never fool him because he knows who they are at their core, which is brutal dictators.
“You’re gonna have to assume that position from the moment they are sworn in on January the 20th and know the rest of the world knows that person — in this case, me — and that I know them,” Biden boasted.
Joe continued: “Putin has no illusions about whether I know him or not. Kim Jong Un is another person [who knows] whether I know him or not. The same with Xi Jinping. I’ve spent a lot of time with these folks. They know, they know [me],” Biden said.
[BIZPACREVIEW] Among the reasons Democrats and their media sympathizers offer to show President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... ’s alleged "racism" is that he called Rep. The Ageless and Downright Brilliant Comrade Maxine Impeach 45! Waters ...U.S. Representative for California's 43rd congressional district, serving since 1991, a total of 28.00464 years. A member of the Democratic Party, she is the most senior of the twelve black women currently serving in the United States Congress, and a member and former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. Before becoming a member of Congress she served in the California Assembly, to which she was first elected back when Disco was in flower, in 1976, which would make it 43.00259 years. She has been a politician for virtually all her adult life. If she was a little brighter she'd be a Communist... , D-Calif., a "low IQ individual."
At a July 2018 rally in Montana, Trump said: "She is a low I.Q. individual, Comrade Maxine Waters. I said it the other day. I mean, honestly, she’s somewhere in the mid-60s, I believe that." And in June 2018, Trump tweeted: "Congresswoman Comrade Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily low IQ person, has become, together with Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments... , the Face of the Democrat Party. She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement. Be careful what you wish for Max!"
Trump’s tweet was in response to a fiery ...a single two-syllable word carrying connotations of both incoherence and viciousness. A fiery delivery implies an audience of rubes and yokels, preferably forming up into a mob... Water’s speech in which she urged a campaign of harassment against members of Trump’s cabinet: "Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere."
Now, Trump, of course, frequently calls people, politicians, policies, Democrats and many Republicans of all stripes and colors "dumb" or "stupid." A recent example occurred last month at a Minnesota campaign rally when Trump slammed (white) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: "She’s either got one of two problems: she’s either really stupid or she’s really lost it, or maybe there’s a certain dishonesty there." In July, Trump called the (white) British Ambassador to the United States "a very stupid guy" for criticizing Trump in diplomatic cables published in a British newspaper.

Well, remember these things. If someone who has never met you says you are a rayciss bigot Nazi, then you are. If a psychologist (not a psychiatrist, not licensed to practice) says someone she never met (let alone examined) says that person is clinically insane, then they are. If Dan Rather tells you it's false but accurate then it is. If a congressman tells you hearsay is superior to documented fact then it is. One could go on and on..
