If that question doesn't rally enough people to come out and vote for "No"...

Yeah. Needs to rally people to make calls, knock doors, and donate too though. Need something to fight for, not just against.

You could argue Trump's entire (successful) campaign was fighting against ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Would disagree.

He gave them things to latch on to-- the wall, bade trade deals, etc.

Yes

absolutely.

I am not sure that VA has been the easiest state to get a gun, but it has to rank near the top. Our border gun stores see plenty of out of state plates and have been at the center of gun violence in DC for a very long time. All the governor has signed into law are some common sense measures that slow our commonwealth's participation in unfettered gun violence.

‘Red Flag’ law

No guns for people under protective orders

- prohibits any person subject to a permanent protective order — which can last for up to two years — from possessing firearms while the order is in effect.

- anyone under such an order has 24 hours to surrender their firearms to law enforcement or sell or transfer them to someone else who is allowed to have them.

Expanded background checks

Reporting lost or stolen guns

In-person safety training for concealed carry permits

Cities and towns can ban guns in public buildings

- require clear signage and exempt Virginia Military Institute cadets or other members of college ROTC programs

One handgun per month

Sadly, in order to win Senate passage, lawmakers also voted to exempt concealed-carry permit holders from the limit.

Tougher penalties for unsecured loaded guns

- expect this to be the highlight of tragic court cases for years to come.

If Pearl Harbor were to happen today, Trump would say it's Hawaii's problem to figure out.

You're God Damn right.

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) pressed Pence on Trump’s Twitter feed at the end of the call, asking why the president was trying to incite division by tweeting “LIBERATE” Virginia, Minnesota and Michigan and aligning himself with protests in those states over their lockdowns. Pence said the administration is working with governors but that the president will continue to communicate with the American people as he always has.

Any day now President Trump is going to pull the plug on the swamp.

Any day now.

$19B on the way to farmers. Trump says 16 billion in direct payments, the details are really pretty sketchy. One thing is for sure there has never been a better president to farmers. He’s paid them for disrupting their livelihood with tariffs, and he’s bailing them out in his words for the virus disruptions. The part that seem to make a little more sense was that there would be $3 billion in food purchased for distribution and the 15 1/2 billion would be used to shore up the supply chain. That’s a little bit better than direct payment.

I guess that's fair, but many of those things were created to fight against something - "the illegals", China, HRC, etc.

An interesting review of what it's like to go to Trump's daily circus

I think we all remember where we were when Rosa leveled her AR on the bus driver and said:

Ima sit down right the fuck here. Any questions?

I see that Matt Drudge is today's Trump's chosen enemy.

Imagine how pathetic you must be to completely lay down for Donald Fucking Trump and put your citizens in harms way (South Carolina, welcome to the party) because you like guns, hate science and want to jam your bars full of drunken idiots? Really brave stuff.

There's a lot going on in this photo from Austin.
