@upstatefederlst How undemocratic of you.

I actually very much like the thought experiment of "what happens if the Supreme Court says Congress does not have the power to change the size of the Supreme Court?"

@GovernorVA Even you know better

The Supreme Court of the United States has now joined the Supreme Court of Virginia in choosing to nullify an election and the votes of more than three million Virginians. These Virginians made their voices heard — casting their ballots in good faith to push back against a President who said he’s “entitled” to more seats in Congress before voters go to the polls. As Governor, I will make sure voters know when and how to cast their votes this year. Because our votes are how we choose the representation we deserve.

@Gap422 No mistaking the song and who’s playing it. Good analogy.

When you run errands, walk in your front door, and hear Santana blasting Oye Como Va on your stereo.

@Mark_E_Noonan Mom knows best

Need to raise statues to Mom.

@DavidJHarrisJr 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

How would you respond to him?

He had been one of the most recognizable child actors of the 1950s. By 1980, he was lying on a Los Angeles sidewalk with bullets in his bulletproof vest, bleeding from at least one wound that had gotten through. The name on the Los Angeles Police Department's roster was Officer Ken Osmond. The name on his old television contracts was Eddie Haskell, the slick two-faced kid from Leave It to Beaver who had become cultural shorthand in America for fake politeness. He had been a cop for ten years. Most of his old industry had no idea where he had gone. Ken Osmond had played Eddie Haskell on Leave It to Beaver from 1957 to 1963. The character had been the slick, two-faced neighbor kid, the one who was sickly polite to Mrs. Cleaver in the kitchen and cruel to the other kids the moment the adults left the room. Eddie Haskell became so culturally specific that the name itself turned into American shorthand. Calling someone an Eddie Haskell, in 1965 or 1985 or last week, meant they were performing for authority and probably lying about something. Ken Osmond had been the face of that performance for six seasons. The show ended in 1963. Osmond was about twenty years old. He had been working as an actor since he was nine, and famous since he was fourteen. By any reasonable measure, he should have been ready to keep working in Hollywood for the rest of his life. There were a lot of doors potentially open to him. Almost all of them were the same door. Casting directors could not see past Eddie Haskell. He auditioned. He got small parts. Each one was, in some way, a variation on the same character he had aged out of. The kid he had been on television had become a brand he could not put down. He could have spent the next forty years playing different versions of Eddie Haskell. Plenty of former child actors did exactly that. Some of them made a comfortable living from it. Ken Osmond decided he was not going to do that. In 1970, he joined the Los Angeles Police Department. There was no press release. There were no former-child-star-becomes-cop magazine spreads. There was no carefully orchestrated rebrand. He went through the academy, like every other recruit. He came out the other side and started working patrol, like every other rookie. His fellow officers knew who he was. Some of them had grown up watching Leave It to Beaver. On the job, he was just Osmond. He worked patrol in Los Angeles during the 1970s and 1980s, in a city that was, at the time, in the middle of one of the most violent periods in its history. Gangs. Drugs. Rising crime. A police force that buried its own officers far too often. Osmond was on the street. He responded to domestic disturbances and traffic accidents and burglaries and assaults. He did the work patrol officers do. He did not give interviews about it. On September 20, 1980, he was working a foot pursuit when the suspect turned and fired. Osmond went down. He was wearing body armor, and the vest stopped at least two of the rounds. Another bullet hit his belt buckle and deflected. One round got through and lodged in his body. He survived because the armor worked, because the buckle worked, and because the bullet that got through missed anything immediately fatal. He was rushed to the hospital. He recovered. He went back to work. Asked later about the experience, in the few moments anyone got him to comment on it at all, he gave the kind of answer cops give to journalists who do not understand the job. I knew I'd been hit, he said. I just didn't know how bad. That was the full Ken Osmond statement on getting shot in the line of duty. No book. No movie rights. No press tour. No carefully crafted memoir. He had been within inches of dying on a Los Angeles street, and he had nothing in particular to say about it. He kept working for the LAPD until 1988. Eighteen years of service in total. He retired on a disability that had been accumulating for years. He went home, mostly quietly, and lived the rest of his life out of the spotlight. He did a handful of Leave It to Beaver reunion projects in the decades after, because the show was important to people and he was a generous man about that. He made occasional appearances at fan events. He sometimes signed autographs. He almost never led with the LAPD story when he sat down with interviewers, even though by that point a fair number of his fans already knew about it. He had not done the police work in order to have a story to tell about it. Ken Osmond died on May 18, 2020, at the age of seventy-six. The obituaries led, naturally, with Eddie Haskell. They were not wrong to do so. He had been Eddie Haskell. But almost all of them, somewhere in the middle, added a paragraph about the eighteen years he had spent as a Los Angeles patrol officer, and the day in 1980 when he had been shot, and the body armor that had kept him alive. A paragraph. That was the recognition. It was probably exactly the amount of recognition he had wanted. Eddie Haskell was the most famous fake politeness in twentieth century American television. The man who had played him had spent the second half of his life doing the opposite. He had walked into a uniform without making a press event of it. He had bled on a sidewalk without selling the story. He had retired quietly. He had refused, for fifty years, to make a thing of the fact that he was a thing. He had played a phony. He turned out to be the real version of the character's exact opposite. The most honest piece of casting against type in the history of his profession.

@Gap422 She’s right about one thing Virginians are getting the representation they deserve after electing her.

You tried to nullify your own state’s constitution. Maybe sit down and listen for a change.

@DBTayor Maybe God term limited her.

Silver Alert! 🚨

@cruadin The “black” district’s white congressman has to resign.

We can’t start missing him until he goes away, but this is nice too.

@GretchenInOK Exactly they don’t like happy.

In these times of negativity and rebellion, a positive attitude may not solve all your problems but it will annoy enough people to make it worth your while.

@fugitivemama Thune is there to protect the Deep State.

It’s not enough to get elected. Republicans need to learn how to govern.

@Gap422 I also read only 40% of eligible voters voted. Lazy people are going to kill America.

@kor1785 Hey, Kevin! Yeah he’s an evil one. Stupidly so.

Quiet, piggy x.com/innavernikov/s…

@AGJayJones If y’all did something illegal isn’t the court supposed to rule against you?

(3/3) It leaves in place the deeply flawed ruling from the Supreme Court of Virginia, which overturned the results of a lawful election and erased the will of millions of Virginia voters." Read the full statement here: oag.state.va.us/media-center/n…

(1/3) Attorney General Jay Jones today made the following statement in response to the Supreme Court of the United States’ denial of Virginia’s Petition for Emergency Relief in Scott v. McDougle:

@NotNJ_Taxman @fenixash8 The receiver just to set the proper vibe when you’re done with the IRS.

@fenixash8 Tax advice in the nude is for the provider or the receiver? It is a pre-sell of dealing with the tax authorities.

@NotNJ_Taxman back up plan

@Morien60Phx @PolitiBunny Jan 6 was a Nancy Pelosi set up.

@PolitiBunny Just for the record, Jesus Christ did not authorize the storming of the Capitol on Jan 6th. Some of the worst Christians in this country are...Christians.

It’s finally over. For real. I read this like a dozen times. OVER OVER OVER. Virginia won. Democrats lost. And now, we Virginians see who they really are and what they really care about, and it’s certainly not about making our lives better. Vote accordingly.

@NewYearsDani Ditto

That's a bad bet, my man.

@Sassafrass_84 Amen

Opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one. Some stink more than others. It's true. What grinds my gears is that others will come to my post (and I am speaking directly about my own experience) and proceed to tell me what they think and then criticize me for my OWN opinion while accusing me of being paid. Because heaven forbid, I have a different opinion and didn't sell out on my support for President Trump. (I'm not saying you did sell out. Just saying the same thing said to me.) So....are you paid? Were you paid to come to my post to troll? Were you paid to support "said candidate?" Or is it only YOU who has clarity and worldview politics?! So you go around accusing others of nefarious reasons?! The bottom line for me is that I support President Trump. That's it. Critique what you want. I do. I just dont use my platform to try to sow divide. I dont want to. We still have a few years with him. I want to see how everything plays out. Sometimes, people, including the president, have to make choices that are uncomfortable. Biden sure tf did. And it's a mess to clean up. Again, my opinion and observation. Things will get better. IMO. Thanks for listening to my Sass talk.

🚨 GREG GUTFELD ABSOLUTELY TORCHES Jessica Tarlov for crying about President Trump making $3 BILLION last year! “I know this is gonna blow your mind, Jessica, but he was a BILLIONAIRE and successful businessman BEFORE he was President, unlike Obama!” 🫳🏼🎤

I’ll wager he took his walk at 6am like Pritzker in Chicago.
