Evil. Democrats are evil.
Quote:
“The stakes couldn’t be higher,” Jay Jones, the Virginia Democrat running for state attorney general, said Monday in an X post. It was an ironic post, coming 10 days after National Review reported numerous violent text messages Jones sent to a colleague in the legislature about a Republican lawmaker. Jones fantasized about urinating on the graves of political opponents as well as shooting then-Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert with “two bullets to the head.”
He also texted that he hoped Gilbert’s wife, Jennifer, would one day hold one of her children as they died.
THE CLOSING OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY MIND
He followed that post with the same tropes used against all Republicans about “saving our democracy” and accusing incumbent Attorney General Jason Miyares of being someone “who takes directives from Donald Trump.”
So what makes the stakes higher in this local election?
Is it character? There is none evident here. How can he tell voters he has the comportment to govern?
And how hard is it for Virginia Democrats to demand that he face consequences for his behavior? Where are Sens. Mark Warner (D-VA) and Tim Kaine (D-VA)? Gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger and lieutenant gubernatorial nominee Ghazala Hashmi? Yes, they have tepidly called Jones’s texts inexcusable. As for consequences? Well, they all still endorse him.
One Democrat they didn’t support after a major scandal was former Virginia governor Ralph Northam. They tried very hard to drive him out of office in 2019 when it was unearthed that he appeared in blackface in a college yearbook in the 1980s.
It didn’t work. He stayed, defying all of the pressure.
At the time, Warner and Kaine said in a joint statement, “We no longer believe he can effectively serve as the governor of Virginia and that he must resign.”
So did every major national Democrat, from Kamala Harris to former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe to Joe Biden. Yet there is no call for Jones to exit the race.
Perhaps it is because Democrats know it is too late to replace him on the ballot. Early voting has already started, and perhaps they don’t want the Republicans to score a win in the off-year cycle. Or, perhaps, and this is the worst possible scenario, the Democrats are secretly OK with what Jones texted.
Jones has a host of other problems as well. He was stopped by law enforcement in 2022 for going 116 mph in a 70-mph zone, an infraction that could have resulted in jail time for reckless driving. Instead, his lawyer and the commonwealth’s attorney worked out a deal by which Jones was only required to do 1,000 hours of community service, the bulk of which was performed by Jones for his own political action committee in lieu of jail time.
OCT. 7 FACT VS. FALSEHOODS
Virginia Democrats come across looking as though murder and gaming the system are not issues that deserve consequences. They aren’t going to stick their necks out to make Jones leave the race.
This story has totally blown up the race. However, the lingering question remains about the mindset of the Virginia Democrats, and indeed the mindset of national Democrats.

‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat
Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/14/private-chat-among-young-gop-

Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway.
They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Trump Fabricates Story of Hand-to-Hand Combat Between Troops and Child Gangsters in D.C.
Trump’s claim that National Guard members beat child gang members on the streets of Washington was disputed even by the military.

e-aragua/
President Donald Trump claims that U.S. troops have engaged in hand-to-hand combat with young members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua on the streets of Washington, D.C. But Joint Task Force–District of Columbia, the umbrella organization for the military occupation of the nation’s capital, says it never happened.
Trump’s outlandish claim — that National Guard members beat child gang members — is one of numerous demonstrably false claims peddled by the president concerning the deployment of military troops, including that there is now “no crime” in the district. It’s part of a raft of lies Trump has used to paint America’s cities as war-torn wastelands and justify urban military occupations. These blatant falsehoods have increasingly drawn the ire of the federal judiciary.
“You saw it in Washington,” Trump announced in an address to hundreds of top military officers late last month. “We had gangs of Tren de Aragua, say 10, 12, 15 kids. And these military guys walk up to them, and they treat them with disrespect, and they just got pounded.” After twice more reiterating that U.S. troops “pounded” gang members, Trump claimed the suspects were “thrown into paddy wagons and taken back to their country.”
JTF–DC spokesperson Alexia Nal says that troops deployed on the streets of the capital have never engaged in combat with any suspected criminals. “Nope. We’re not allowed to,” she told The Intercept, stating that service members cannot put their hands on people. One defense official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, called Trump’s claim “obvious bullshit.” Two more government officials laughed when The Intercept brought the president’s story to their attention. “Of course not. Not a chance,” one of them said when asked if there was any possibility that Trump’s account was based on a real incident.
“President Trump’s false and inflammatory justifications for deploying federal agents and National Guard troops to vibrant American cities may keep shifting, but the truth does not,” Hina Shamsi, the director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s national security project, told The Intercept. “There’s simply no emergency to justify deploying federal forces to Washington D.C. or any other city the president wrongly paints as a hellscape.”
The White House did not respond to questions about the supposed assault of members of Tren de Aragua; whether the supposed gang members were, in fact, children; and if the president was suggesting members of Tren de Aragua were driven by “paddy wagon” to Venezuela.
Trump’s fabricated tale of combat on the capital’s streets are mirrored by his clearly false claims about crime in Washington since troops began their occupation of the city in August. “D.C. is now a no — it’s a free crime city. We have no crime in D.C. … It took me 12 days,” Trump announced early last month, also referencing Tren de Aragua in those remarks.
Trump reiterated those boasts more recently. “We’ve got no crime,” Trump claimed last week. “It took 12 days to solve the problem. And we’re going to do that in Chicago, we’re going to do that in Portland.” The remarks came only hours after D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department announced the victims of two deadly shootings.
A JTF–DC spokesperson refused to contradict her commander-in-chief. “We do not speculate,” she responded when asked if crime in the district had been eliminated. “However, JTF–DC stays committed

Quote:This thread is NOT about what you think, you goddamn Nazi. It is about Democrats killing Nazis in WWII, but not doing it today. Back then, Americans didn't have qualms about firebombing Nazis, except Kurt Vonnegut, who earned a good living post-war as a professional qualm-meister, worried about being too violent, long time after sufficient Nazis had been killed to make the world safe for democracy and pussycats like Kurt. Democrats have read too many Kurt Vonnegut novels and misunderstood the lessons from the Vietnam War, where we were the bad guys.

Long ago, Democrats understood that Nazis were evil, and they didn't drop leaflets on them explaining the evil plans embedded in Mein Kampf. They dropped firebombs. Nowadays, Democrats waste time explaining to Trumptards the evil plans embedded within Project 2025. Today's Nazis, like the old-time Nazis, don't see their evil actions and their child rapist and tax cheating President as evil. Their eyes and minds invert and reverse evil with good.

For the dumber Trumptards, Mein Kampf served as the foundational ideological blueprint for the Nazi Party, outlining Adolf Hitler's political vision, antisemitic views, and racist worldview. The book laid the groundwork for the policies and atrocities that the Nazis would later carry out. Trump's Project 2025 serves the same purpose as Hitler's Mein Kampf.

Quote:Do you remember all the hand-wringers in the North during the Civil War? They literally could not decide whether slavery was evil or an acceptable way to organize an economy. The Northerners vacillated back and forth, day and night, hour after hour, about whether Southerners were sufficiently justified, or not, for rebelling against Lincoln, who was interfering with the Constitutional rights of states to decide what their local culture would permit in handling the workforce.

Eventually, Generals like Grant and Sherman made the hard decision. But the hand-wringing continued. Oh, the slaughter was too much! Couldn't war be more civilized? The slave-owners are Americans, too! Why can't we come to a compromise and all be friends again? Northeners and Southeners as brothers once more. (Blacks were excluded from the brotherhood, except for the particularly noble examples such as Frederick Douglass)
For a few months, there was moral clarity. Cotton plantations were burned. Slave-owners were killed, but then it once again became cloudy and uncertain about how badly workers can be mistreated by their employers. Nowadays, the workers get a tiny paycheck directly deposited into bank accounts, unlike slaves. Still, it is not at all clear that most Americans understand how badly a majority of workers are mistreated in America, just like how badly workers were mistreated in antebellum America.
World War II was also a confused moral mess, at least in some weak minds, with Republicans refusing to declare war on Germany and Japan. There were vast numbers of Americans who could see no need to stop the Germans from invading Poland. Or France. No need to accept Jews fleeing Nazis. Especially no need to do anything about Japan invading Asia in the 1930s and slaughtering millions and millions.
But, finally, Democrats decided the Germans and Japanese were evil. Democrats killed millions of those evil people, plus their darling little children, as a bonus. Nothing clarifies the mind of a Nazi or Japanese Imperialist faster than pouring gasoline on babies and setting them ablaze.

My Sunday column was about a Trump-appointed judge, Karin Immergut, who sees through the Trump con:
Presidents have enjoyed a degree of judicial deference in part because they have earned it. Generations of good faith and fair dealing with federal courts have even created a doctrine called the “presumption of regularity,” where courts presume that official duties have been properly discharged — unless there is “clear evidence to the contrary.”
https://harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-131/the-presumption-of-regulari
ty-in-judicial-review-of-the-executive-branch/
There is now “clear evidence” — in the form of Trump’s own words — that there is nothing regular about this administration.
Judge Immergut understands this reality clearly. She understands that there are traditions that predate court precedent, that predate any deference to the executive. “This country,” she wrote, “has a longstanding and foundational tradition of resistance to government overreach, especially in the form of military intrusion into civil affairs.”
“This is a nation,” she continued, “of constitutional law, not martial law.”
That’s correct. The best way to evaluate the reasoning behind Trump’s actions is to examine Trump’s words, and Trump’s words reveal a man who isn’t just “untethered to the facts”; he’s also untethered to the law.
Dishonest presidents should be entitled to no deference at all.
On Saturday, we published a conversation with Michelle Cottle and E.J. Dionne Jr. The subject was Donald Trump’s military deployments to American cities. I’m concerned that we’re facing something worse than the Red Scare of the past. Now we face a blue scare.
French: It’s like you have the anti-Lincoln in the White House.
Dionne: Yes.
French: If you’re looking at Lincoln’s first Inaugural Address, he very eloquently, eloquently sort of begged and pleaded that we must not be enemies, we must be friends. We must remain friends. And of course, that fell on deaf ears. But now you have the exact opposite going on right now in the White House. And I think if you’re wanting to look for historic parallels, you’re going to go to Red Scare One and Red Scare Two.
Red Scare One came after World War I, Red Scare Two after World War II. But this isn’t a “Red Scare.” That actually undersells it. This is a “Blue Scare.” In other words, what he’s essentially saying is that it’s not the Communists we’re after — it’s Blue America. It’s the entire superstructure of Blue America, which they are categorizing as the equivalent of Communist Marxists. They’ll use that language.
So they’re turning all the engines of government against political opponents, justifying it to their base by claiming these people are the ultimate threat to the American experiment. This is Stephen Miller’s constant rhetoric. In that way, it makes the Red Scare look tame; it’s worse than the Red Scare because it’s like the Red Scare metastasized.
