More GOP-led bigotry, stopped by the court for the time being, but still carrying a cost --> a cost that Kiiid and DimBulbWard deny.

I love listening to our right wing folks going off on other people's immorality while continuing to deny or ignore the conduct of their own.

I only posted newspaper accounts and attached no opinions. I guess you though have decided that some of the reports indicate immoral behavior by high ranking Virginia democrats.

I love listening to our right wing folks going off on other people's immorality while continuing to deny or ignore the conduct of their own.

No discussion of the thousands of children that the Trump administration says are too hard to return and a burden on them.

Amoral hypocrites.

I would bet good money that REDSTATEWARD has posted about 4x more on this one allegation against a Democratic Governor than the 18 against the Republican “President” of the United States.

And the good time he is having is pure schadenfreude.  He has no larger point to make, because there is no larger point to be made.  Democrats at all levels are calling for Northam to resign, as they should.  And the activity in the yearbook photo is not indicative of a bias that has (as far as I know) influenced his policy stance as a Governor.  Compare that to Republicans who swear that, for example, their voter suppression efforts aren’t racist while they seek to remind us that White Supremacists are people too, and seek to build a wall to keep out all those “criminal brown people.”

It’s not even interesting from a “PC police claim one of their own!” argument.  Plenty of Democrats caught up in the #metoo movement.  And no one has ever said to my knowledge that a Democrat can not be racist (or could not have been 30 years ago)  What is true is that Democrats do not support or reinforce institutional racism, and their political opposition does.

The Northam affair changes none of that.

So Scalise has a Magic Negro... so what?
   

Heh.  Was going to post that rebuttal, but you got there first.  It is so unconvincing when somewhere somehow a vicious racist fuck manages to find someone he has been able to dupe.  It's like Trump and those Magical Women he found to assert how respectful he was, who wouldn't grab an ass even if it was an ass-shaped doorknob and the room was on fire.

I saw a report in the NYTimes
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/04/us/politics/justin-fairfax-sexual-assault.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage

What's your point?  How is this parallel to either Scalise or Trump?  Craft an argument and i will listen.

His link was backup to the twitter link I gave you that you implied was fictitious.

Northam had the opportunity to control the narrative and explain his evolution from privileged frat boy asshole to the Governor who expanded Medicaid and championed women’s reproductive rights, but he fucked up from the get go.

But what he overlooked was he was elected on the strength of the black vote.

If his wife hadn’t checked his ass at the presser he was going to try to do the moonwalk for crying out loud!

He had his chance Friday night... I really saw a way for him to get through this and steer the convo back to the rights of women to have self determination. He fucked up royally...

He gotta go.

Recall the braying over governorships picked up by the Dems

Could be we get one back in 2021.

Virginia quiz

Name the first governor of Virginia - then give us the 3 Va governors who went on to become POTUS.

The southern district of NY

heh

Frankly I think they should stick to going after Bobby Axe.

What is true is that Democrats do not support or reinforce institutional racism, and their political opposition does.

I'll disagree with that.

But I will argue that many fewer do and that more often they get called on it by their fellow Dems.

And that they leave under pressure from their own party, and if not their party, then their consituents.

The GOP folks embrace it, support it, and reelect it.

Nor do most of them perceive an actual problem with systemic racism, to the extent that they even admit that such things exist.

You could, in fact, get one back in 2021. You might not. Odds are it won't be Virginia.

Are you requesting a political trivia forum? I mean, the baseball trivia forum gets so much use!

I'd rather name the 5th governor.

[facilitatorn]

Nothing in the Notham revelations or Fairfax accusation amounts to 1/10th the buggery and canibalism required to be considered a candidate in Virgina’s GOP. It’s a foul smelling scumbucket that comprises the poor dying republican party.
