Same. It’s the poor people who come here to work and are clueless.

It’s always the shrinking MC that pays. ALWAYS.

Just proof that too many people don’t look at the candidate and just look at their larty’s ticket. It was a reaction to Trump not a vote for Spanberger in many cases. Why is this so hard for people to get? It is the Achilles heel of the DNC and their tribe. (Don’t get too cocky, MAGA, same thing happened after Trump 1.0. He lost. Accept it.)

When I'm driving around Bethesda and Chevy Chase, and someone fails to use turn signals, is driving with high beams, blocks traffic by randomly stopping in the middle of the road, cuts across multiple lanes of traffic out of nowhere, can't stay in their lane, etc. -- 95% of the time they have Virginia plates.

Agree. Virginia drivers are horrific. I wish they would stay in Virginia where they can be in the company of the other awful Virginia drivers.

They can all drive slow in the left lane together.

HB537: Will threaten public safety by allowing violent felons that are arrested for another felony to be released without a bond.
https://lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/20261/HB357

the AWB will ensure that democrats will never win another election in Virgina after this, just like the clinton era AWB created a two decade dominance by the GOP

We’re in a different place now. Everyone except the 2A extremists is tired of all of the gun violence.

AWB is a no brainer.

keep thinking that

Guess you aren’t paying attention. Try turning off FoxNews/newsmax every now and then.

lol i dont watch any of that, i am not 50, i am in my late 20s. Lots of young people voted democrat this cycle for pot legalization and abortion rights, which i agree with. you touch my guns, it will be hell to pay.

Most people will prioritize the safety of their families over your cosplay fantasy life.

My aunt carries a gun because she works nights cleaning commercial properties in dangerous neighborhoods. Should her gun be taken away?

A gun is one of the only ways smaller people can protect themselves from getting murdered or raped by larger people. A lot of guns are bought for safety. You probably don’t appreciate this because you’ve lived a sheltered life. The real world is a rough place. Some people, especially working class women, need tools to protect themselves from larger, violent predators.

Women are more likely to be killed with their own gun than to kill someone trying to attack them. We saw it all live in MN, bad guys grab your gun then shoot you dead.

That apples and oranges. You’re talking about confronting a team of federal agents, I’m talking about working a night shift in unoccupied offices where a larger man can come and literally do whatever he wants to you. If you think asking nicely for a rapist to stop is better than pointing a revolver at his face, I sincerely hope you never have to face that choice.

You obviously have never had to deal
with the trauma of someone who was a victim of a violent crime like murder or kidnapping and rape. I have. Your flippant retort isn’t appreciated.

Explain the net investment income tax... What and how works and how much.

The felons don't bother me because they mostly terrorize and kill in blue areas reducing blue votes.

Does Maryland actually have both these laws/policies?

No

For the 2nd one…

Maryland law requires the judge to use certain risk reactors to determine binding instead of a mandatory bond. Others who have this law are Kentucky, New Mexico and Alaska.

For the 1st one VA is 3.7% on over $500k, Md is 2.8 over $350k (capital gains) VA is matching what Massachusetts does.

Thanks for clarifying! I certainly want them to lower taxes which have been rising out of control along with utilities. And as the ‘law and order’ candidate- I hope she does not forget what she stood for.

And why is it that so many people from MD go to VA for work? Why have the job centers grown in VA over the last 25 years instead of MD? Also, MoCo and PG County have plenty of ugly strip malls and unwalkable roads.

Meanwhile in MD… tinted windows no blinkers changing across 3 lanes doing 90 mph. 695 is completely lawless with zero enforcement. Do you even have state troopers?

Maryland has always been prettier since it has a lot of wealth in a much smaller area. Virginia has always been more development because it can ruin one areas and just move to another since it has so much land. Like right now..all the nova sky scraper buildings are half occupied and business will move to cheaper regions over time. Marylands worst county is PG which has lots of trash and horrible schools. Despite this..PG is richer than 30 Virginia counties and has NASA, Andrews AFB, NOAA, Census, USDA, IRS, the future FBI, a Big Ten university, MGM and the future sphere.

I don’t know; I don’t live in MD.

On road trips up and down 95 we’ve noticed that the idiot camping out in the left lane blocking a long line of cars….usually has VA plates.

Man that net investment income tax is the biggest attack on wealth in the country. It makes Maryland look like a tax haven.

That is precisely my experience when I commute into MD, but with robbery as a bonus.

+1. VA drivers are clueless, oblivious, and self-centered. Doesn't surprise me in the least that they're the ones loudly proclaiming how they're great drivers and MD drivers suck. Just shows how clueless they are.
