Northam has copped to darkening his face to look like Michael Jackson.

Keep up.

Not in the yearbook photo

2 different things altogether

Any reasonable person could distinguish between 1830s black face, which demeaned black men -  and Northam and his second in command GLORIFYING Michael Jackson and Curtis Blow.

Maybe you cant

You're kidding, right?

What's especially droll is that he seems to think the heyday of blackface was the 1830s. 

Paging Al Jolson!

Also, clever to shift away from the indisputable fact that the yearbook page is Ralph Northam's page.  With a picture, selected by Ralph Northam, of a KKK costumed student, to represent his time at the school.  Those facts don't scrub off, so let's focus on some irrelevant ones!

While I didn't say that, I'd be happy to hear your definition of "socialist" Red.  I realize that for somebody who doesn't know the meaning of simple words like "amoral" and "benefactor", I imagine it's difficult, but take a shot anyway, Red. 

It seems to me that when a Democratic Congress explodes the debt they're "socialist cocksuckers" but when a Republican Congress does the same, well you got your tax cut.  I'm sure your definition of "socialist" might be in there somewhere.

I apologize. I misidentified you as the author of those remarks.

No.

And only a fool would think that was possible.

Why do you think that was glorifying Michael Jackson?

And why do you think Northam chose to put that picture on his yearbook page?

And why do you continue to fail to address the illegal siezing, transporting, retaining, and losing of thousands of children by the corrupt Trump administration, not to mention  their lying to the courts and refusing to heed the court's orders?

Why do you think the conduct of these three Virginia officials is more important than the negligent and likely criminal behavior of the folks who did that?!

This I do not understand, to the liberal elites open borders is the end of every argument. Crying babies and their extended families.

Luee it’s sad to watch you get fucked by kleptocrats and plutocrats who also have you convinced that the problems they cause you should, through some massive failure of logic only you and a few others can achieve, be blamed on immigrants.

Once someone puts money into an off-shore tax haven, they are a foreign enemy of the people. Most of the rest of it can be and is being worked out.

This has nothing to do with lower taxes on the wealthy. This is illegal immigration. These are not persecuted minorities for the most part but people tied to failed societies that do not wish to assimilate but want to transform America into what they came from.

Guys, this open letter from Jeff Bezos is such a fascinating look at modern political extortion that I have to share it here.

I like it when someone calls a blackmailer's bluff. 

What are the odds there was a presidential order behind the collection of this embarrassing material?  And what agency might be involved?

The company’s recent purge of unauthorized workers from at least five Trump properties contributes to mounting evidence that the president benefited for years from the work of illegal laborers he now vilifies.
It remains unclear what measures Trump or his company took to avoid hiring such workers, even after he launched a White House bid built around the threat he says they pose to Americans.

Amid Trump’s push for a border wall, there has been little public discussion of how U.S. employers — including the president himself — have generated demand for unlawful workers.

From the New York Daily News; heretofore a strict defender of the PC of the left;


Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring’s admission that, as a 19-year-old in 1980, he wore what could be considered blackface, may be a blessing in disguise.

Coming just days after the revelation of a racist photo in Gov. Ralph Northam’s 1984 medical school yearbook, it provides all Americans the opportunity to pause and think through what truly ought to constitute a firing offense in public life.


And from a prominent democrat


Former Democratic Congressman Jim Moran is also arguing for a less draconian response, telling NPR: “And, you know, these — this public shaming, I’m not sure how much it accomplishes versus looking at the longer picture. If the longer picture is, and I think should be, racial justice and conciliation and reparation, then I wonder if giving people a second chance, as well — whatever they did — might serve, in the long term, the greater interest.”

Tax the rich?
Sure...but not too much now...rich people employ poor people, directly and indirectly.

Defining 'rich' is the starting point.
