Add a charge of cultural appropriation for the white woman's haircut.

Going to be a lot of Dems bitching about Trump targeting black female Dems.

Couldn’t possibly be that they are corrupt and generally stupid.

Is that picture one of those deals where you can drop a lot of different hairstyles over a bald head?

With a little luck it goes directly to the VA Dem Party and Governor.

It's past time for this. Let's see how Abigail Spanberger and "two bullets Jones" try to spin this.

What? From a gun control advocate?

quote:

For over three decades, Senator Louise Lucas has been a true champion in the fight to end gun violence and a consistent advocate for the many commonsense solutions needed to save lives across Virginia. As president pro tempore of the Virginia Senate, she has led her caucus in taking crucial action on gun safety in recent years, helping to pass lifesaving legislation like Virginia’s extreme risk law and a bill to expand background checks to all gun sales.

For Senator Lucas, ending gun violence is personal. Having lost a nephew to senseless violence, she knows that families are never truly the same once they’ve been touched by this issue and that we owe our children a better, safer future.

I thought this happened months ago. Or was I having a premonition?

Her office was raided months ago. (See the linked tweet embedded in today's update).

She's just now getting indicted/arrested.

These things take time.

She made her one phone call, but it was to ask to speak to the manager.

he "co-owns" a cannabis business and it was raided recently. According to the new article i just read,

quote:

Federal authorities on Thursday charged a prominent Virginia Democrat with racketeering and a money laundering conspiracy as part of an alleged public corruption case involving a cannabis business she co-owns.



from a NBC news article just published, so i wont link it for clicks.

but this gem is typical MSM:

quote:

The investigation into the 82-year-old Lucas predates the Trump administration, NBC News previously reported. But the Justice Department’s move, just 12 days before a midterm election, is unusual, as federal authorities have typically avoided taking overt investigative steps against political figures so close to an election. Lucas is not up for re-election this year but has ties to prominent Democrats who are on the ballot.



so the investigation, which started under the Biden Administration, but is Trumps doing since its 12 days before the election. so, because there is an election she should not be arrested......
