You'd think they'd at least get the 2A out of the way before they go balls out after the 1A. Remember this shit next time you get butthurt because someone tells you the Democrats are authoritarian shitstains.
[Update]: Deathmonkey was kind enough to point out that this was in fact a Republican-passed bill from 2K that is being reaffirmed/reenacted by the Democrats, as well as adding the ability for the state to prosecute in Richmond no matter where the crime was committed if it's against state-owned property or a politician. Let's hear it for bipartisan fuckwadery! This would have been updated sooner but this is the first time I've looked at it since Thursday around lunchtime. Sorry, you're just not as interesting as The Roomie's kids who arrived a couple hours later.
(What, you thought I'd support it if Republicans had a hand in it? You must be new here.)

This means this journal is, in the most literal sense, Fake News. Or, less politely, willful, bald-faced lies. Now I know, freedom of speech and all that, but if ever I need an example of what a lying sack of shit you are and why no one should trust a damn thing you say about politics, all I have to do is link here.
If you really gave a shit about the truth you'd delete this journal. No, that's not censorship. No, I'm not disagreeing with you because I dislike you or from some position of partisan ill will; I am disagreeing with you because 1) you are provably, factually wrong, 2) willfully spreading misinformation, and 3) trying to pretend you're some paragon of virtue and honesty all the while.
I know you won't delete this journal entry. Because when the rubber hits the road, you don't give a shit about anything but your own ego. That's fine; all it means is I and others have a nice citation to link to when we accuse you of being full of shit. You will hang by the testimony of your own words.
