BLUF:
[RedState] This is why I think there will be more out there.
Dr. Tyson was outside Fairfax’s social circle so when the Washington Post did their half-assed investigation when the incident was reported to them after the 2017 election, they would not necessarily have found anything if this was his pattern.
Dr. Tyson’s description makes Fairfax seem very proficient in his chosen form of seduction. This implies there are others out there who now know they are not alone.
Fairfax has lawyered up.
NOW is now lumbering onto the field and when they go after a Democrat it is a serious matter.
This could all be wishful thinking and internet bullsh** but right now a safe bet is that there are other women out there and Fairfax knows it.
[DW] The AfD accuses the domestic intelligence agency of stigmatizing the party. The far-right party is seeking to ban the agency from making public statements on a so-called "test case" investigation.
"The complaint is not aimed at the fact that the intelligence agency is monitoring the AfD, but at the fact that the agency has made this public," a party spokesman said.
[Washington Examiner] Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, and Attorney General Mark Herring are all facing calls to resign. What happens if they do?
[Washington Examiner] House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., invited Leana Wen, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, to be one of her guests at the State of the Union address.
Wen’s seat was not cheap. Affiliates of her organization spent millions to support Pelosi’s quest for the majority in the House of Representatives and the ultimately unsuccessful efforts by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to retake the Senate.
In total, the Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Planned Parenthood Votes ‐ the arms of the Planned Parenthood Network allowed to engage in electoral politics under tax regulations ‐ spent almost $6.5 million in outside spending supporting the election of Democrats to both houses of Congress in the 2018 midterm and special elections, according to FEC records compiled by OpenSecrets.
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., bore the brunt of Planned Parenthood’s attacks. The organization spent $1.85 million attacking him, more than any other House or Senate candidate in 2018. One suburban Philadelphia congressman was attacked more than Rick Scott or Mike Braun, freshman Republican senators who won their race and will now vote on judges with substantial power over abortion policy.

An organization that takes government money should be forbidden from spending any money on lobbying (or spending money on government functions). The money wasn't given so that you could bribe Dems for their votes.
[Breitbart] Failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams claimed in the Democrat response to President Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday that "voter suppression is real."
Abrams claimed, without evidence, that voter suppression is taking place in three specific ways.
"Let’s be clear: voter suppression is real. From [1] making it harder to register and stay on the rolls, [2] to moving and closing polling places, [3] to rejecting lawful ballots, we can no longer ignore these threats to democracy," Abrams asserted.
Abrams also made a straw man argument that, "We must reject the cynicism that says allowing every eligible vote to be cast and counted is a power grab."
No one, however, has said that "allowing every eligible vote to be cast and counted is a power grab."
Supporters of election integrity focus on preventing ineligible voters from illegally casting ballots.
As for her three specific, unsubstantiated assertions, here are the facts:
#10
She had no facts, only unsubstantiated assertions. There were no statistics that could be fact checked. Probably that was by design. But, of course we want certain votes suppressed: those of dead people, illegal aliens and felons.

She is right though. Voter suppression IS real. Democrats practice it every election, along with dead voting, foreign invader voting and multiple vote casting, vote creation through 'found boxes.' Anyone showing up with a box they claim is full of 'uncounted' votes should simply be shot. Repeatedly. And their head placed outside of the closest polling place.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives began moving toward tighter gun regulations on Wednesday, holding the first congressional hearing in years on how to stem the epidemic of gun violence that claimed the lives of nearly 40,000 Americans in 2017.

You could cut the murder rate in half by taking away guns from from young black men. They are only a few percent of the total US population so you'd be getting a lot of bang for your buck, so to speak.
Disclaimer: I'm not advocating for this. It's nearly impossible for a whole host of reasons and most likely, they'd just find some other way to whack each other. Still, it would be fun to see the Democrats make this part of their platform.
#4
There's a simpler solution. Commit 3 separate felonies and you go to the nitrogen gas chamber. Quick, quiet, painless and you will commit no more crimes beyond vote fraud in the future. Will this mean thousand of young black men are executed. Yes. But I no longer have any mercy for criminals of any type and I don't give a crap their upbringing, environment or maybe 200 years ago there was racism. Each and every person must be held accountable for their actions. There are no excuses for that. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, not understanding the law is no excuse, thinking 'white' laws don't apply to you is no excuse. You want to be a career criminal, you get caught and you pay the price. The price should be death after a certain point.
#5
And hell, I am being nice, being put down with nitrogen is far nicer than than lining public streets with impaled people screaming. Which is what most of them deserve.
Of the close to 40,000 deaths from gun violence in 2017, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in December that 60 percent were self-inflicted.
#8
I don't know Silentbrick, on the whole I support your solution 100%. However, I would suggest that the first few hundred sentenced to death be impaled. That would be quite the message to others.
#9
We would prefer to avoid Stalin's dilemma though, about people deciding that impaling people is so fun they need to do it all the time. Stalin just had them shot and used new people but N2 is a good solution. And in about 2 generations, I think we'd see major drops in crime.
#10
You are all suggesting fixes to the actual gun problem that results in 99% of gun casualties.
I'm sure Congress is going after the remaining 1% which is all about schools and gunfree zones with results that are almost always about taking away rights from law abiding citizens.
#11
Playing to the rubes. Nothing will happen until they get either a veto-proof majority in the Senate or control of the House, Senate, and White House,
#12
Use CO2 instead of N2. Recycle CO2. Fight global warming. Save the planet.

Sorry but as a pro-plant, no-plant-starvation, Geologist, I must side with the planet in having a biosphere that isn't on the verge of CO2 starvation and death. 1600-1800ppm of CO2 is far healthier for plant life so it can be devoured by animals I like to eat:p
[CNN] In the last six days, the following things have happened:
- Gov. Ralph Northam said he was in a picture in his medical school yearbook of two people -- one in blackface, the other in KKK robes. He then recanted and said he wasn't in that picture. But he added that he *had* darkened his face to look more like Michael Jackson for a dance contest in 1984.
- A woman named Vanessa Tyson accused Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of assaulting her during the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston. Fairfax angrily denied the allegations. Then on Wednesday Tyson released a statement, in which she said in part "what began as consensual kissing quickly turned into a sexual assault."
- State Attorney General Mark Herring, in a statement released Wednesday morning, acknowledged that he, too, had appeared in blackface at a party. "In 1980, when I was a 19-year-old undergraduate in college, some friends suggested we attend a party dressed like rappers we listened to at the time, like Kurtis Blow, and perform a song," Herring said.
[Townhall] During his State of the Union address on Tuesday, President Donald Trump took a moment to jab Democrats for their Russia probe.
"An economic miracle is taking place in the United States -- and the only thing that can stop it are foolish wars, politics or ridiculous partisan investigations," Trump said, as Pelosi made an uncomfortable face behind him. "If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation. It just doesn't work that way!"
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff took the jab as a threat, as evidenced by his tweet on Wednesday:
#3
Unlike most State of the Union addresses Trump's was not just a laundry list of programs to spend money on to buy support of every possible interest group.
#4
Democrats got badly beaten up. Trump looked presidential while Chuck and Nancy sneered and smirked like juvenile delinquents. Stacey Abrams was beyond pathetic. Occasional-Cortex sat on her hands like a petulant adolescent while Trump delivered good news about the economy, like she would have preferred bad news. All that is gonna create an impression on 2020 voters.

Bizarre because it wasn't Bush/Clinton/Obama/Bush/Clinton? Because we got somebody in office who thinks like a citizen instead of an overlord?

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
