In this case, two party rule is going to cost Virginia billions of dollars that we are lawfully entitled to. Miyares will not fight back against Trump’s illegal budget crap because Miyares does not believe in the rule of law or the constitution. Hope you like paying taxes! |
And, you think Jay Jones believes in the rule of law? |
Of course he does. He just believes he’s above it all. |
He was held accountable, which is more than Miyares is demanding for cops who blow off steam by killing people on a bad day. |
Which punishment do you recommend for reckless driving? Hint: it needs to apply equally to rich white guys in their Lambos, too. |
Any link that backs this claim up? |
Original article is behind a paywall and I dropped WaPo, but here you go. Shoot an innocent civilian? VA’s top cop has your back. https://dems.ag/wapo-ed-board-virginia-ag-sends-a-dangerous-message/ |
Actions speak louder than words. Brutal cops have no need to fear accountability under Miyares. https://wjla.com/news/local/jason-miyares-persecuting-the-police-was-the-wrong-response-in-bijan-ghaisar-case-police-brutality-us-park-police-steve-descano-merrick-garland |
Can you elaborate? I feel an all blue win is going to cause exactly that; us getting more mired in expensive lawsuits that go nowhere (Jones has already said he will start suing on day 1) and the answer for local and state officials the $$ shortfall? Higher taxes! |
He was not held accountable. That’s a joke. He basically continued working on his campaign and disingenuously passed that off as “community service” compelling one of his underlings to sign off on it. He’s the rich kid of two judges who’s apparently never been held accountable. Otherwise he perhaps would have been humble enough to excuse himself after all his reckless immature bs and let someone else take the primary. |
Congress has said we are entitled to funds. Trump says he has “plenary power” (Steven Miller’s phrase) to do whatever he wants, including impounding that money. The states that have fought for their lawfully appropriated money have won big victories in court, because what Trump is doing is illegal. Those states are getting their money. Virginia doesn’t fight, so Virginia doesn’t get its money. Yes, you have to spend a few bucks to get a few billion. Or, you can “save” some public employee manhours and let Trump steal your billions instead. |
Taxes are goinig up and up under Republicans get ready to pay a King tax to Trump just to breathe. Vote red and all your taxpayer monies go to Don. |
|
They have won and actually gotten their money? Great, then they can perhaps lower our taxes and get rid of our exorbitant car tax. |
Are these “innocent civilians” referencing the publicized cases where police was shooting a weapon wielding guy with multiple priors? |
