   On 01 Feb 2026, Aaron Thomas said the following...   
      
    AT>    
    AT> Why though? Normal people can right through all of the BS. Or by normal   
    AT> people do you mean judges?   
    AT>    
      
   No I meant voters.  Think about what just happened in Virginia. They had Glenn   
   Youngkin who saved the state from the Woke Democrats... Recall the transgender   
   guy who rapped girls and we just passed around to different schools, the   
   father of one of the girls was arrested because he spoke his views at the   
   school board meeting.   
      
   Welp, they just elected a new Governor who ran as a moderate... She wanted to   
   make the cost of living better for the residence of Virginia...   
      
   Who caused the inflation and hi costs??  The Democrats???  Well, apparently   
   they are going to fix the problem they caused.   
      
   New Governor is suggesting 50 new taxes.   
      
   Additional local sales tax in all Virginia counties and cities   
   New personal property tax on electric leaf blowers and electric    
   andscaping     equipment   
   Large employer tax   
   Gun and ammunition tax   
   New income tax brackets   
   Delivery tax, which would hit Amazon, Uber Eats, FedEx, and UPS orders in       
   Northern Virginia   
   Investment income tax   
   Event tax   
   Storage facility tax   
   Gym membership tax   
   Dog walking tax   
   Dog grooming tax   
   Counseling tax   
   Digital personal property tax   
   New car taxes and highway use fees   
   Increase in the hotel tax in Arlington   
   Statewide speed cameras (not a tax, but more fines for drivers)   
   Vehicle repair tax   
   Home repair tax   
   Dry cleaning tax   
   Rideshare tax   
   Fantasy sports tax   
      
   Just to name a few....   
      
   There is a small revolt going on in Virginia because apparently they didn't   
   learn and believed hook-line-and-sinker the lies that the new Governor was a   
   moderate.     
      
   NOT EVEN A MONTH and they are regretting voting her in.   
      
   I'm not sure if its professional dog walkers having to pay the new tax or is   
   it every time you walk your dog you have to pay a tax.   
      
   If there were more "normal lefties"  Not the FAT BLUE HAIRED ONES, the normal   
   ones.  Virginia may not have happened, it was the people in the north east   
   that voted her in.   
      
   Everyone must suffer now because of the Kool-Aide drinking Democrats buying up   
   everything the woke says.   
      
   They are also wanting to reduce the mandatory minimums of violent crimes.   
      
   Less that a month and people are complaining about the cost increase... carbon   
   tax...   
      
   I argue that if some of the "Normal Democrats" wakeup to what their party   
   actually stands for and move to the right NY might get rid of Hochul and   
   others like her.   
      
   BTW, less than a month and the left is protesting Mamdani's official residence.   
      
    AT>    
    AT> That sounds like good advice. "Don't talk about it until you're   
    AT> presenting the facts to a judge in court." That's the way to do it.   
    AT> Otherwise, the left will find ways to ruin everything.   
    AT>    
       
   I think there will be some changes during the next few months.  As I have said   
   about the Venezuela President is part of the conspiracy... Smatmatic and   
   Dominion Technologies and other entities like George Soros and whatnot.   
      
   They are putting their ducks in a row right now and some of this stuff may   
   start to make sense in the weeks to come.   
      
    AT>    
    AT> He can do it. Pray for him. I do it every night. I pray for his health,   
    AT> happiness, and success in bringing justice back to America. And then I   
    AT> pray for health and happiness for Melania, Barron, Don Jr, Eric,   
    AT> Tiffany, and Ivanka (and Bruce Blakeman.)   
    AT>    
       
   And this is what we should do.  We have to celebrate or victories and stay   
   focused on the end goal.   
      
      
   BTW, I thought I was talking to Aaron and I see its a new face.
