Revolver: Trump comments on Virginia… on Truth Social: A RIGGED ELECTION TOOK PLACE LAST NIGHT IN THE GREAT COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA! All day long Republicans were winning, the Spirit was unbelievable, until the very end when, of course, there was a massive “Mail In Ballot Drop!” Where have I heard that before — And the Democrats eked out another Crooked Victory! Six to five goes to ten to one, and yet the Presidential Election in November was very close to a 50-50 split. In addition to everything else, the language on the Referendum was purposefully unintelligible and deceptive. As everyone knows, I am an extraordinarily brilliant person, and even I had no idea what the hell they were talking about in the Referendum, and neither do they! Let’s see if the Courts will fix this travesty of “Justice.” President DONALD J. TRUMP

Virginia referendum ruled unconstitutional…(??) per Ken Cuccinelli II (@KenCuccinelli) / Posts / X — FORMER Virginia AG — but people are saying it’s going to the Virginia Supreme Court… 

Trump has a bold option to counter Virginia’s new gerrymander scheme… per Chad Mizelle - Wikipedia (op-ed on Fox News, reposted on MSN) — President Trump could issue an executive order declaring the slavery-motivated retrocession [of part of 1790 DC given back to Virginia in 1847] unconstitutional, triggering certain legal action, and allowing the courts to finally weigh in on whether the county of Arlington and the city of Alexandria in fact properly belong to the District of Columbia.  //  This Order would be on better legal footing than many of President Joe Biden’s most egregious orders, such as those imposing an eviction moratorium or forgiving billions in student debt with the stroke of an (auto) pen. As some of the deepest blue areas of the Commonwealth – and the country – and loaded with federal government employees, residents of this region should feel right at home as part of D.C.

Democrats just banned open carry in Virginia… Wren Williams post on X showing a pic of a vote on HB 1524 “Carrying assault (sic) firearms in public areas prohibited; penalty.” (He says it’ll be challenged and overturned, but defended with taxpayer money.)
