    Mayors are in cities. Everywhere else there are town supervisors. Not sure of the requirements for county mounties or state troopers.

    Mayors title goes to the elected leader of Villages and Towns also.

    Townships here used to have Reeves, but the title "Mayor" was also acceptable. So now most of them have changed from "Reeve" to "Mayor". Nothing actually changed, but I'm sure it makes them feel more important.
    Either way, a gombeen is a gombeen.

    Two questions of sorts. First is it "important" or "impotent"? Second is "what is a gombeen?". I never heard that before.

    Gombeen:

    A Nova Scotian term of probably Irish origin for any government beaurocratic asshole who likes to strut around and act officious, while being a crooked bastard who's on the take.

    Thank you for the information. Can't wait to use it at the next town meeting with the town board members. If you don't hear from me for a while, I was most likely arrested.

    That's what liberals and Democrats BELIEVE! Otherwise this is funny except it's pretty close to the truth.

    It is said that in last election several Liberal Billionaires donated hundreds of millions of dollars to insure that Democrats win the Virginia state elections. Steyer, Bloomberg and Soros being the chief among them. The new legislature have filed and are waiting to be sworn in to vote on several new laws, SB64 being one of several among them. SB64 violate the first amendment, the second amendment, the fourth amendment, the fifth amendment, the eighth amendment and the ninth amendment. It also makes illegal self defense under any circumstances or learning self defense under any circumstances. It also makes illegal having any device capable of harming or intimidating a person in public under any circumstances.

    Stopping firearms training is definitely a 3 Amendment violation, how can you quarter militia if they don’t know how to shoot?

    Does that make the Girl Scouts of America a paramilitary oganization? What about ANTIFA? And the DNC?

    I don't know what they teach girl scouts, but I know they do teach boy scouts on how to use a pocket knife, so the scout leader, den mother and all the scouts can be sent to prison.

    ....So, basically, a "Gombeen" is a Politician.?

    If this contradicts so many of your already legally introduced Amendments, how in Gods name do the Democrats hope to waste so much time and money trying to get this introduced? It should be stomped on and thrown out before it even gets to be tabled?
    But then, if that is all that they can do, and are not willing to concentrate on other far more important topics that really do need attention, then by all means let them waste THEIR time and effort.

    I just hope it does not get introduced so that little Boy Scouts and Girl Guides don't get arrested when they carry their offensive weapons - their pocket knives.

    And perhaps this legislation should have been listed in our Forum under "Acts of Stupidity"...
