Virginia megathread

[Woody]

Hahahaha f**k you Ralph. God really does exist after all. Jesus you guys can't believe how happy I am, and the timing is perfect too, right after the abortion debacle, maybe he'll resign? I'd love to see Fairfax's reaction to this, knowing that this sonuvab!tch was his running mate.

[Woody]

Obviously fake photo is obviously fake.

And if it isn't? Northam is doomed politically then. Also, democrats can kiss the legislature goodbye if this isn't fake.

[Woody]

Governors office refusing to comment

It's probably a hornest nest up there. Northam and his people must be sweating bullets right about now.

[Woody]

My sources are looking in to this.

[Woody]

Still no answer from the governor? You guys still want to refute this?

And what if Seth Rich was really killed by ATF and DEA agents?

What if??

Congratulations Governor of Virginia Justin Fairfax.

I have since learned that this image comes from a what is basically a fake news outlet set up by Roy Moore. It's still possible that they just got lucky and were the first to find it, but I think it's a very real possibility that this is fake. I'm sure we'll find out soon.

I guess you win the prize for media literacy in this thread. Andrew Yang and SirWoodbury lose.

This aged well.

[Woody]

Today is a good day. I guess we should take the advice from the democrats and give our dear governor the same fate as Mr. Ertel of Florida.
Also, to those who tried to make a fool of me, who is laughing now?

[Woody]

Remember folks:

Anything you do that is considered acceptable now is liable to become extremely unacceptable at any time in the future.  And with modern surveillance and the proliferation of social media, it will come back to bite you.

Maybe Northam's resignation will give the message (And my pleasure to laugh at him)

Northam must resign NOW!!

[Woody]

This is one of those "I'm not saying a darned thing until it's confirmed" type of situations.

It's beyond confirmed now. Too bad Gillespie's people didn't find this, then we wouldn't have this pathetic disgrace as our governor.

[Woody]

Can we all agree now that Northam must go?

[Woody]

I just realized it's black history month, perfect timing!

I'd like to take that prize if you wouldn't mind.

This nerve of this guy. If he doesn't back down peacefully he must be impeached.

What a dumb excuse.

[Woody]

I have been saying this for over a year now. I knew something was shady with him right from the start he went statewide.

[Woody]

Loses support of one of the statewides.

The rats are abandoning ship. The democratic establishment here is in full turmoil and here I am having the time of my life, having the privilege to watch this unfold bwhahahahahahaha.

[Woody]

OUR GOVERNOR IS A KLANSMAN!

[Woody]

OUR GOVERNOR IS A KLANSMAN!

I take it that you are saying this like you are excited, proud and acceptable of it.
Your kind-of-guy, right?

Of course not. I think he should resign.

[Woody]

They’d still be demanding that he resign (and I certainly would), you guys don’t seem to understand that the condemnation of Northam is coming from a genuine place in contrast to the Republican condemnations of Steve King whose racism was apparently fine by the GOP until he used the term “white supremicist.”  Just because the Republican party happily gives Trump a free pass on being a racist, misogynistic bigot who pals around with anti-Semites like Steve Bannon doesn’t mean that no one on the Democratic side talks like a preacher b/c they go to church every Sunday with respect to these sorts of issues.  All due respect, but this thread honestly reads like OP twisting himself in knots and grasping at straws to find some sort of “Democrats are the real hypocrites here” angle.  And speaking of hypocrisy, where was the Virginia Republican Party’s concern about racism when Corey Stewart was nominated for Senate last year?

Would you condemn Joe Biden for his offensive comments on segregation back in his 30's?

1) Link?

2) How is it that you somehow managed to come out of this looking like the biggest hypocrite on Atlas?

Edit: I believe all women should have their voices heard.

Watching these clowns tear each other down is the best thing I have seen this year so far.
