It is just a trial for what the Republicans have in mind to retain or regain power in 2020. We haven’t seen anything yet. Dirty tricks are all they have, and we seem intent on helping them.

Hope someone’s looking into the Speaker of the House as well…

It really would be a shame if the Democrats are the only ones that have their pasts examined closely. Since blackface seems to be the uniform of the day in Virginia back then, I’m sure there are more representatives there with a bit of ‘colorful’ history.

Speaker is a Republican, he could film snuff films in his spare time and they wouldn’t care if overlooking it would give them a shot at the governorship.

Meanwhile, the crimes of Agolf, the racism and misogyny, are documented/stacked up for years, and yet he remains.

If this isn’t a reason to elect more women to office, I don’t know what is.

A shitshow, wrapped in a clusterfuck, inside an enema.

I’d suggest a coin toss only there are three of them. This is the state I grew up in then lived out west for 40+ years, moved back last year and sincerely wonder if there are real Democrats in this neck of the woods. Which one do you believe? If it were up to me, I wouldn’t have a clue as to which one should be in the office.

I’m curious as to whether or not there are Virginia Democratic women in the pipeline that could step in… these seem ready.

I’m damned depressed that so many high-level Virginia Democrats have so damn many ugly skeletons in their closets. How those skeletons have been revealed isn’t that important to me (with the slight exception of the AG getting out in front of his story).

Don’t worry. I’m sure that if the Dems in VA spent their youth in blackface, probably half the Republicans spent it all in white. And we’ll see that soon.

Chuck Turd is enjoying the shit out of this right now.

His show today has been one “Dems shouldn’t even bother voting in 2020”

Absolutely agree. These are just the warmup exercises, a startling shot across the bow. As Charlie Pierce quipped the other day " . . . Democrats need to wise up."

That being said this is truly a flaming fiasco with few good (if any) remedies. We either hold the line or purge. The latter move opens the door for Republicans to fly right in and roost like invited vampires.

Is there a stronger word for clusterf*ck?

Apparently they weren’t prepared for a coordinated attack. Because they’ve…never dealt with Republicans before. Apparently.

I’m in Northern VA (Alexandria). I was rooting for Justin to become governor over Ralph, but wow I picked 3 bozos in 2017. I wish I could throw my ballot away.

Not all of us are intent on helping them. Some of us see these things for the ratfuckings that they are, and retaliate accordingly. We are the ones who will save democracy, not the pearl-clutching lemmings.

Seems pretty appropriate. If this state goes back to the Rethugs I may have to move, again.
