They figured out a successful strategy to remove Democrats from office without using the electoral process.

As long as Justin Fairfax unequivocally denies the charges and Ms. Tyson remains silent he is entitled to the presumption of innocence...

I saw the list on another thread about leaders who’ve spoken out about this Northam mess.

Have either of the Obamas spoken, or are they just staying out of it?

He was amused, and did a quick look to apparently see where he should do it when his wife cut him off.

He'll be quitting today, as he should have done days ago. What an arrogant fool he is.

He's just looking like a fool who's trying to hang onto his power. He clearly needs to put the needs of his state over his own selfish desire.

Otherwise we'd be having problems in Virginia.



Honestly based off of the people still defending him on here, I wouldn't be surprised if this fact has something to do with the dead-enders still going down with the ship. The last thing any of them want to do is admit that their slavish devotion to centrism failed in any way.

vote for bush along with telling us that Romney was going to beat Obama, and tried to interject his divisionary bullshit into the women's march until Ashley Judd shut him up very quickly

Let's see MM run for a public office in Michigan, and how well he does.

practice the words "President Romney"

He was also wrong about the 2018 midterms

Now predicting that Trump will win a second term. I am sure if that prediction turns out against him it will be conveniently forgotten by him.

MM is no prophet, and except for a few exceptional movies from the past, he is trying to do everything to get attention, since his current projects are not getting much traction

Mon Feb 4, 2019, 10:48 AM
Feb 2019

that kind of casts doubt on whether it was Northam in the yearbook photo.

It was in a Gateway Pundit article, which was linked from a comment after a WaPo article. (I won't link to a rightwing source, like the GP.)

It shows a guy in a pic wearing plaid pants that may be the same pants on the blackface guy in the yearbook photo.

DH looked at it, and says the pants aren't the same, but I think the difference could be in the quality of the picture.

Regardless, Northam admitted to wearing blackface, there is the heinous nickname, and a number of other examples of racist behavior. He needs to go, but I'm not so sure it's him in the yearbook photo.

When Northam resigns, they’ll go gunning for Fairfax. This is a coordinated effort by anti-abortion extremists. Don’t believe me? Just watch. Within a month (or short time) of Northam’s resignation, something will be dug up from Fairfax’s past. There will calls to resign - especially from Democrats.

The issue isn’t how evil blackface is. It’s that this is a soft coup by extremists who will stop at no cost to get in power. Proceed at your own peril - this is more than a racist yearbook picture and career-ending press conference.
