Peacenik Gun Law March in Virginia
Virginia Governor Ralph Northam is defending the state senate’s Red Flag gun law. He was last seen defending late term abortions and apologizing for wearing blackface.
But many Virginians seem to think Northam has his ban impulse backwards. And about 20,000 of them marched in protest of the gun law.
That set off a minor media hysteria about white supremacist gun violence. But the armed marchers behaved and even cleaned up their trash.
Which didn’t stop the senate from passing the bill anyway.
Bernie Sanders Gets Treatment From CNN
Some people on both sides of the aisle think Bernie Sanders got set up by The Most Trusted Name in News at the CNN debate last week.
Here’s correspondent Abby Phillip asking the “when did you stop beating your wife” question:
“Sen. Sanders, CNN reported yesterday, and Sen. Warren confirmed in a statement, that in 2018 you told her that you did not believe that a woman could win the election. Why did you say that?”
And Here’s Bernie’s response:
“I don’t want to waste a whole lot of time on this, because this is what Donald Trump and maybe some of the media want,” Sanders added. “Anybody knows me knows that it’s incomprehensible that I would think that a woman cannot be president of the United States.
And here’s Abby Phillip’s next question to Senator Warren:
“Sen. Warren, what did you think when Sen. Sanders told you a woman could not win the election?”
Best of Bok 2019
Here are some of the cartoons I liked best from last year:
John Dean No Rosemary Woods
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler thought it would be a good idea to have John Dean testify about Watergate. And John Dean was happy to oblige. After all, he may be a convicted felon but he’s no chicken – or Rosemary Woods.
But he did say that Russiagate was just like Watergate, only worse.
However, unfortunately for Chairman Nadler, the media spent most of the day covering a helicopter crash in New York City.
Really Big Big Loser, Everyone Agrees
The NYT got hold of Trump’s tax returns from 1985-94. He lost $1.17 billion.
Big Big Loser
It’s not fake news but it may not really be news at all. In fact Trump bragged about it at the time, and wrote a book. Probably only really lost a billion.
