ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN BOGUS ELECTION RESULTS GO UNCHALLENGED. (VIRGINIA)

ANOTHER PROUD MOMENT FOR VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS.

Virginia's AG withdraws state from legal effort to have Equal Rights Amendment recognized.

Veronica Stracqualursi, CNN

Virginia's new Republican attorney general on Friday withdrew his state from a legal effort to have the Equal Rights Amendment recognized as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution.

The move by Attorney General Jason Miyares marks a significant shift in the commonwealth's stance and is a setback to supporters of the ERA. Virginia had ratified the ERA in 2020 under Democratic leadership and is seen by supporters as the final necessary state that put the ERA into effect -- despite legal questions.
Miyares, in court documents on Friday, had Virginia dismissed as a party to an appeals case brought by then-Democratic Attorney General Mark Herring that seeks to have the ERA published.
    "Following the change in Administration on January 15, 2022, the Attorney General has reconsidered Virginia's position in this case," the court filing read.
    WHY DO I MAKE THE CONCLUSION OF BOGUS ELECTION RESULTS IN VIRGINIA? BELOW IS A PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED ARTICLE.

    I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN VIRGINIA: FASCISM WINS AND THE "TRUMPOCRATS" AT THE STATE LEVEL DO THEIR JOBS FOR DONALD.

    (BY THE WAY, THE RESULTS FOR LIEUT. GOVERNOR AND ATTORNEY GEN. ARE STRIKINGLY SIMILAR TO THE GOVERNORS RACE. MY CONCLUSION STANDS FOR ALL 3 RACES. BOGUS AND FRAUDULENT.)

    After hearing about GOVERNOR ELECT ---Oberführer GLENN YOUNKIN assuming office yesterday, it reminded me of the results that put him there. It puts Virginia in a very select group with;

    - FLORIDA.

    - OHIO.

    - TEXAS.

    As States whose latest election results were beyond the realm of being even remotely reasonable, but where the OPPOSITION, (DEMOCRATS), LEADERSHIP SAID NOT ONE WORD OF DISSENT, ASKED FOR NO INVESTIGATION, QUESTIONED NOTHING.

    For my readers, here is a reprint of the results, as compared to 2017.

    would indicate that the defeated party demand an investigation...

    HOW DOES THIS COMPARE TO PREVIOUS ELECTIONS?

    IN 2001 THE DEMOCRATS WON, INCREASING THEIR VOTE TOTAL 9.6%
    FROM 1997.

    IN 2005 THE DEMOCRATS WON, TOTAL DECREASED BY 0.44%
    FROM 2001.

    IN 2009 THE REPUBLICANS WON, INCREASING THEIR VOTE TOTAL 12.6%
    FROM 2005.

    IN 2013 THE DEMOCRATS WON, INCREASING THEIR VOTE TOTAL 6.5%
    FROM 2009.

    IN 2017 THE DEMOCRATS WON, INCREASING THEIR VOTE TOTAL 6.15%
    FROM 2013.

    IN 2021 THE REPUBLICANS WON, INCREASING THEIR VOTE TOTAL BY 41.1% FROM 2017.

    I'M SORRY, BUT THIS IS BEYOND BELIEF. ARE WE TO BELIEVE THAT NOT A SINGLE MEMBER OF THE STATE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP HAD A PROBLEM WITH THESE RESULTS?

    WELL VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS, THIS IS WHAT YOUR DONATIONS AND HARD WORK BUYS YOU.

    APATHY.
    CORRUPTION.
    INCOMPETENCE.

    PICK 1 OR 2... MAYBE ALL 3.

    WHAT DOES BETRAYAL ADD UP TO?

    HERE ARE A COUPLE OF FLAGS TO HELP THE GOP CELEBRATE:



    YOU'VE EARNED IT.

    MTV- MOSCOW TELEVISION/FOX NEWS EDITORIAL POLICY, REVEALS THAT SELLING OUT DEMOCRACY IS THE GOAL OF ITS FASCIST OWNERS.




    THREE OF A KIND.


    WHEN DISCUSSING FOX NEWS EDITORIAL POLICY, IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THE INTENSE, BUT BOGUS AND SUPERFICIAL REPORTING OF NON-ISSUES;

    - LIKE ACCUSING HILLARY CLINTON OF A CRIMINAL ACT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

                                                      OR

    - THE COVERAGE OF BOUGHT AND PAID FOR FASCIST STOOGES LIKE THE SMALL NUMBER OF "TRUCKERS" WHO ARE SELLING OUT THEIR COUNTRIES FOR A QUICK BUCK. (WITH A BIAS THAT RUNS ALMOST ENTIRELY IN FAVOR OF THE "PROTESTORS")

    ...ARE DELIBERATE ATTEMPTS TO TURN ATTENTION AWAY FROM ACTUAL ISSUES THAT COULD HAVE A DIRECT GLOBAL IMPACT ON ALL COUNTRIES. ( LIKE THE POSSIBLE INVASION OF UKRAINE BY RUSSIA.)

    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

    Fox's obsession with Hillary Clinton is only growing more fierce.

      The right-wing talk channel, which has in recent days dishonestly twisted a court filing from special counsel John Durham to accuse Clinton of nefariously spying on Donald Trump, mentioned Clinton's name nearly 200 times Thursday, according to a search of rush TV transcripts. The escalation in the network's already-manic coverage of the former presidential candidate came after she delivered remarks at the New York Democratic convention.
        Fox carried Clinton's remarks briefly before abruptly cutting away when she started to talk about the Big Lie. But if the network had stuck with her speech, the channel's viewers would have heard Clinton rip into Fox's recent coverage of her. "Fox leads the charge with accusations against me, counting on their audience to fall for it again," Clinton said. She then invoked some legal language. "As an aside," Clinton said about Fox, "they're getting awfully close to actual malice." Clinton spox Nick Merrill wrote on Twitter that she had "called them and their bulls**t out by name."
            A rep for Fox didn't respond when I asked about Clinton mentioning "actual malice," the bar a public figure needs to clear in order to succeed in a defamation lawsuit. But Sean Hannity addressed Clinton directly during his Thursday night show. "Malice, really? It's called news," the right-wing propagandist claimed. "Hillary, we invite you to bring it on." Of course, while it is extremely unlikely Clinton would take any such legal action against Fox, I would be curious to know what the network's lawyers think of him daring her to sue for defamation.
            Hannity was the only Fox figure that I could find who addressed Clinton's malice comment on the network's air. Other personalities, however, devoted significant time elsewhere. One theme Fox promoted Thursday night might inspire some déjà vu: That Clinton is gearing up to run for president again. It was pushed by both Jesse Watters and Tucker Carlson. Carlson, who mocked Clinton for calling out Fox, framed her speech as "the start of something big." He added during a lengthy segment, "We fully support Hillary Clinton as she runs for president."
            The big picture: Expect Fox and the right-wing media universe as a whole to continue its focus on Clinton. These outlets need villains and, all these years later, Clinton serves as one of the ultimate foils. Tracy Sefl, the Democratic strategist who is familiar with the right-wing media universe and who was once described as the "Drudge whisperer" for having dealt with Matt Drudge on behalf of the Clinton campaign, had a similar thought when I texted her Thursday. "Why the obsession?" Sefl asked rhetorically. "Simple: [cha-ching]..."

              NEW UPDATE, AND ASKING THE QUESTION NO ONE WANTS TO ANSWER: JUST A FEW TRUMPIAN "PEARLS OF WISDOM" DOWN THROUGH THE YEARS, SETTING THE STAGE FOR TREASON: THE HELSINKI SUMMIT.

              AS YOU WATCH THIS VIDEO, AND LISTEN TO TODAYS HEADLINES, ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION: WHAT WOULD  BE THE LIKELY RESULT OF THE RUSSIAN THREAT TO INVADE UKRAINE IF DONALD TRUMP HAD WON A SECOND TERM IN OFFICE, AND THE SENATE MAJORITY WAS CONTROLLED BY RAND PAUL AND OTHER GOP PUTIN SUPPORTERS?

              SO WAS JANUARY 6TH JUST A BAD DAY FOR DONALD, OR WAS IT THE CULMINATION OF YEARS OF IRRATIONAL HATRED THAT LAID THE GROUNDWORK FOR STEALING A SECOND TERM, WHEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE REALIZED THAT HE IS A CORRUPT JOKE, WHO WON THE WHITE HOUSE THROUGH ELECTION FRAUD. 

              PLAN B- IF THE RUSSIAN GRU, AND CORRUPT ELECTION OFFICIALS CAN'T GUARANTEE A SECOND TERM, JUST TOSS OUT THE CONSTITUTION AND CREATE A FASCIST REGIME. HOW DO WE LAY A FOUNDATION FOR SUCH TREASONOUS ACTS?...
