Virginia HB1627:

If any person, with the intent to coerce, intimidate, or harass any person, shall use a computer or computer network to communicate obscene, vulgar, profane, lewd, lascivious, or indecent language, or make any suggestion or proposal of an obscene nature, or threaten any illegal or immoral act, he shall be is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. A violation of this section may be prosecuted in the jurisdiction in which the communication was made or received or in the City of Richmond if the person subjected to the act is one of the following officials or employees of the Commonwealth: the Governor, Governor-elect, Lieutenant Governor, Lieutenant Governor-elect, Attorney General, or Attorney General-elect, a member or employee of the General Assembly, a justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, or a judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia.

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.)

    Even the likes of TMB can be pressured into doing the right thing. Not sure that is overly commendable, like the school bully being forced to clean up trash. Of course his retraction was two-faced, but better than straight denial of reality.

    Guess we gotta work overtime just to keep these fools accepting reality!

    Fraid not. I'd have to give a shit about your opinion before it could exert any influence upon me.

      Facts are the facts, you can lie your ass to hell and back but it won't change reality :D You're a partisan shill who talks a lot about being an independent thinker, and I'll give you credit for being more open minded than Ted Cruz but that is about it.

      Get fucked you little proto fascist.

        Which party am I a shill for then? I'm curious.

          Conservatism in general, and Republicans over Democrats. Maybe shill isn't the right word since you would like to lock up a bunch of corrupt Republicans too, but you have a repeating pattern of defending Republican bullshit while screaming like a stuck pig anytime a Democrat does the same.

          It took a while to see the pattern but you're as tribal as can be with a mask of libertarian individualism.

            Ha! Hahahahaha! Republican? Ha!

            See, you only think that because you buy into the Democrat bullshit 100%, immediately, without ever engaging your own mind. If you see me calling Democrats on their bullshit more than Republicans, it's for one reason and one reason only: Because they're currently producing more and worse bullshit in need of calling out. Which is true. While the Republicans have gone terribly down hill in my lifetime, the Democratic party has gone absolutely bug-fuck insane over the past twenty years.

              You have a knack for getting things backwards, I blame your parents for beating you so many times you developed some sort of weird Stockholme syndrome.

              C'mon fascist wannabe, just admit you want to put on some army boots and stomp some undesirables. You'll probably feel better getting off your chest, and there is a better chance you can get better once you admit your love of geese feet.

          Also, since you care SO LITTLE for my opinions would you care to make another blustery post excusing your response to this thread? Some insulting joke about correcting an idiot? Maybe a statement about how your a Warrior for Truth?

          You'll probably get your wish, I've been sickened by the large minority of hypocrites and fact-denying users around here for a long time. Your personal hypocrisy does get to me since you are always going on about freedom of speech and how those mean internet companies are persecuting conservative voices. You hate CoCs and mock anyone who tries to make rules to manage their communities and then you go and do the same! H Y P O C R I T E

          Your ideology means nothing beyond your selfish desires. This site was founded on escaping the corporate boot, but the community that believed in that has only switched to a council of boots.

          You should feel ashamed of your actions, but I know you won't. Just angry and self-righteous as you ignore the truth of my words.

            Angry? Kid, I won't remember what you were going on about three seconds after I hit Submit. That's how little you and your opinion matter to me.

            And I've done nothing in need of excusing, so I won't be making any excuses this evening.

              Sorry World, a bunch of morons elected a clueless addled actor a while back who rubber stamped defunding public health services. Thus we inflicted mentally unstable morons upon you all. Good news though, they're generally too lazy and bigoted to learn new languages so just stay away from the English speaking sites and you'll have a much better time on the net.

              Sorry again, and if you can spare a little time we would appreciate some help in handling these sentient mothballs who seem capable of spewing diametrically opposed opinions with zero self-awareness.
