Dumbasses hand out 30-round AR-15 magazines at Virginia state capitol

Documentarian Ford Fischer captured video of pro-gun activists handing out free 30-round AR-15 magazines outside the Virginia State Capitol, in a direct challenge to pending legislation set to ban the sale of such magazines in the state.

 

Gun activists hand out AR-15 magazines at Capitol to defy upcoming ban

The distribution occurred ahead of the expected signature of a bill that would prohibit the sale of high-capacity magazines in Virginia, marking a significant policy shift for the state. The activist giveaway represents an apparent attempt to circumvent the incoming ban by placing magazines in circulation before the law takes effect in July.

The footage, shared on social media by Fischer, shows activists freely distributing the magazines to supporters gathered at the Capitol. The incident underscores the ongoing tension between gun rights advocates and legislators pushing for stricter regulations on firearm accessories.

The stunt likely was staged by the “Virginia Citizens Defense League,” a gaggle of “activists” who delight in staging such displays.  I suspect this is what happened:
  • the people lined up are all VCDL members
  • who all came in together
  • all of whom own the magazines
  • they handed the magazines to the guy who stuck them in a sack
  • and is handing them back to their owners for the cameras,
  • hence, “distributing” 30-round magazines.

 

Shoes. It’s all about goddam shoes.

When Joseph Stalin took the stage, applause wasn’t just standard. It meant your freedom.

As the crowd thundered with cheers, no one dared to break first. Not after two minutes. Not after four. Not after six. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote in “The Gulag Archipelago,” “It was becoming insufferably silly even to those who adored Stalin.”

Finally, after 11 minutes, one man — the director of a paper factory — broke the spell. And with that one act of independence, he sealed his fate. The director was arrested that evening.

On his interrogation document, an important lesson was inked into the pages: “Don’t ever be the first to stop applauding!”

Now, Donald Trump’s men are learning the same lesson — the humiliating way. Although this time, the question is different: “Who will be the first to take off their shoes?”

Across Washington, D.C., a new fashion trend has taken hold of those in Trump’s circle: embarrassingly oversized clown shoes.

More specifically, a pair of $145 Florsheim oxfords. Trump is apparently obsessed with the shoes, and it’s getting weird. According to the Wall Street Journal, the president has taken to handing them out to Cabinet members, advisors and White House VIPs. He even makes it a game: guessing people’s shoe size, placing an order and then signing the box.

Forget policy and matters of government. At Cabinet meetings, Trump jumps in to ask, “Did you get the shoes?” As one female staffer noted, “All the boys have them.”

But this isn’t the type of gift horse you can safely look in the mouth. Another female White House staffer joked, “It’s hysterical because everybody’s afraid not to wear them.” Like Stalin, Trump is paying attention to see who stops clapping first.

As one cabinet secretary complained, he had to shelve his Louis Vuittons in favor of the president’s preferred style. What else has he had to shelve over the years to please the president? His morals? His values? His brain?

As he styles them to his liking, they are too afraid to disobey. If they take off the shoes, will he cast them out of his inner circle? Will he tarnish them on Truth Social? Will he send them to the gulag?

That last one isn’t a joke, nor is it an exaggeration. In an era of baseless political prosecutions, you are one wrong shoe away from facing an indictment.

While we have all been visually assaulted by the clown shoes, we have also felt the consequences of Trump’s hold on the Republican Party.

Sen. Susan Collins has done pirouettes around her policy positions in order to please Trump. The Department of Justice has found itself on the other side of its own lawsuit in its quest to demand voter rolls and rig the midterms. And just recently, Sen. John Cornyn — who is facing an intense runoff election — has flipped on the filibuster to appease Trump on the SAVE America Act.

The list of spineless capitulations is practically endless. If MAGA men can’t stand up to Trump on the shoes they choose to wear, what can they stand up to the president on? The answer is easy: nothing.

While Trump’s circle can’t find the strength to disagree with the president, it’s worth noting that Weyco, the parent company of Trump’s beloved Florsheim, is currently suing the administration over tariffs.

Businesses may oppose Trump’s policies, the public may be worried for democracy, and protestors may be taking to the streets — but the audience won’t stop clapping. They have learned Solzhenitsyn’s lesson.

The Republican Party will follow Trump off a cliff — and given their footwear, they will likely trip over the edge.

God tells Mike Johnson he is going to hell

Remember when Mike Johnson was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives and he claimed “God selected me to lead the House the same as He selected Moses to lead the Children of Israel.” ??  Remember that?

Well, now it seems God has had enough of Johnson’s bullshit.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a move that many called long overdue, on Thursday God formally notified House Speaker Mike Johnson that he was going to Hell.

In a rare public statement, the Almighty said that Johnson’s support of Donald Trump’s war in Iran was the “last straw” that sealed the Speaker’s eternal damnation.

“What do you do with someone who claims to be a Christian and supports killing civilians?” God asked. “You send his ass to Hell, that’s what.”

Confronted by reporters in a Capitol corridor, Johnson said he was “disappointed” by the Heavenly Father’s decision, but added, “I serve a higher power than God — I serve Donald Trump.”

Trump: “We took out all of their mine ships in one night. The Strait of Hormuz is open.”

The facts as of right now:

Iran struck a Thai civilian vessel attempting to transit the Strait this afternoon.

Lloyd’s of London has not restored war risk insurance for Gulf shipping.

No major shipping company has resumed transits.
Marine Traffic shows vessels at anchor, not moving.
Iran’s foreign policy advisor said this morning: we decide when it ends.

Trump said the Iranian navy was destroyed. We kept finding ships to bomb.

Trump said ships were safely transiting. The Energy Secretary deleted the tweet. Karoline Leavitt corrected the record.

Now Trump says the Strait is open.

A Thai ship was struck today trying to find out.

Remember those “persecuted” white South Africans who Trump invited to come live in the US???

They are going back to South Africa — the US is too violent for them.

The Trump administration’s crusade to “save” white South Africans from supposed persecution is backfiring. Instead of embracing his invitation to America, growing numbers of those same expatriates are buying one-way tickets home—disillusioned by the violence, fear, and brutality in Trump’s United States.

Andrew Veitch, who left South Africa for California two decades ago after being carjacked, told Reuters he no longer feels safe in Trump’s America. “People are being shot in broad daylight. American citizens are being shot and killed,” said the 53-year-old.

He plans to return to South Africa this year, joining a wave of repatriations driven by disillusionment with the country that once promised security. “I don’t want to live in a place like this,” Veitch told the outlet.

Trump’s officials have defended Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers who killed two U.S. citizens in January, claiming self-defense—though video evidence disputes that. South Africa, which Trump once accused of persecuting whites, now finds itself welcoming thousands back. South Africa’s government says there is “no evidence” of racial discrimination against whites, and newly relaxed laws have prompted an online rush: 12,000 expatriates have checked their eligibility to reclaim citizenship since November.
