It took FIVE paragraphs to identify the party affiliation. It was mentioned only one time in the entire article.

How many times would Republican shown up in a similar article?

Well Try this for size: A Dennis Hastert article that includes Two references to his party affiliation in just three paragraphs. Strange huh?

What is the potential felony punishment? The article seems to avoid this information.

He could be sentenced to 20 minutes behind a bar.

This is series.

WAIT!

Seriously - Yee pleaded guilty? He was running GUNS.

This should be NATIONAL NEWS, ALL OVER THE NETWORKS.

A sitting member of the California State Senate - an immigrant alien supposedly assimilated and naturalized - comes to our country, screams “elect me! I want to rule you!” and gets caught running GUNS, for Chrissakes?!

MACHINE GUNS no less, Weapons of Mass Destruction according to the Democrat Party?!

Where is CNN?

Where is ABC?

Where is CBS?

Where is NBC? (off in a huff over Don Trump telling the truth)

Where is the LA Times? SF Chronicle?! Santa Cruz Comic News?

That’s right folks. Crickets chirping in the night.

Nothing to see here, move along. ‘Rats and Immigrants are sacred. They can do no wrong, and when they do....cover it up.

Got it. Will get with the program.

Thanks Citizen Zed.
Leland Yee entered the plea on Wednesday and could face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison when he is sentenced in October.
This is the anti-gun zealot who was allegedly (smirk smirk) involved in weapons smuggling from jihadists in the Philippines. Ah, but he's also one of the Asian-origin Demwits who have fought off efforts to pass unconstitutional measures to implement admissions quotas in the colleges and universities of California (see the Proposition 209 keywords).

That’s just it. These politicians aren’t against guns.

They are against YOU having guns.

“District of Corruption”

That fits very well.

Btw, Yee was running for Secretary of State at the time. We're infested.
