Is there still a state called Virginia?

Posted on 01/20/2020 2:57:32 PM PST by Jonty30

I'm just wondering. I work nights, so all news has to wait until I wake up. I'm just wondering if there are survivors from the rally today?

There never was a state called Virginia. Not to split hairs, it’s a Commonwealth, as I learned in Virginia History class in High School.

I did not know that. It’s an important fact to know. I don’t view it as splitting hairs at all.

It was truly amazing and fun. I have never seen so many heavily armed Citizens having such a great time. It couldn't have gone better imho.

I was one of tens of thousands. An extremely disciplined and yet diverse group mainly Virginia Citizens - but also from across the Republic. Sitting back thinking about it, it was a self-forming autonomous group that made an impressive statement.

Me thinks, if there were “antifa bus loads”, (which is possible and plausible), either they decided their wigged out skinny pants and brass nuckles wearn’t quite up to taking on 308.’s, or the authorities took a look at the firepower and decided to save “antifa” for another day.

It is also possible the feds could have been directed to interdict and stop the mess Northam and the mass media wanted.

Not only was there a “no fly zone”, but were snipers and personnel on several rooftops.

Regardless, as expected, the 2-A crowd were good clean liberty loving people.

A couple of estimates placed the overall divided crowd close to 120,000.

There are a few more Commonwealths instead of States, such as Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Also the official name for Rhode Island, is "State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations".

It was a very heavily armed Army - or maybe Militia? From pistols to Barrett 50 cal. with thousands of ARs in between.

That was one of the threads, along with others, like the “no fly zone” thread where people were predicting a false flag event, mass murder, cover up, etc. Lots of folks saying “don’t go” or “it’s a trap”, calling the fenced area “the kill zone”. There was a lot of FUD being shoveled, even by people who normally know better. Allowing others to scare you out of your first amendment rights kinda defeats the purpose...

If we get out the vote, they will be trashed. I’ve heard people say that many Blacks will vote Trump and “’R” and just keep it to themselves. I believe it. I have a Black conservative friend who told me that many Blacks will vote for Trump. They’re sick of being on the Plantation. And we can’t forget the Walk Away Movement.

In point of fact, Virginia is both a state and a Commonwealth. Virginia deemed itself a Commonwealth but was also one of the original 13 US states and is now one of 50 US states. Being a Commonwealth does not make it not a state. It is both.

There are 4 commonwealth states — Virginia, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky. All four are also US states.

Yup. Internet prediction threads are neat because usually both sides are adamant in what they are predicting. Not that something like that happening wasn’t plausible, at least in my opinion. I might bump that thread later, I planned to no matter how lobby day turned out.

And it’s the republic of Texas. But we are all the USA.
