VA people- can you remind me because I have this vague memory of something a bit unique with your gubernatorial elections. Were Northam and Fairfax running on the same ticket or do you elect your Lt Governor separately from your Governor? I’m just thinking of the extra level of betrayal to Fairfax if he was out campaigning for Northam as well, and serving as a rep for him at campaign events.

I've been working all day so I didn't see the press conference.
What the actual fuck is this referring to?

Thanks. I guess that’s also good because it can’t be used against Fairfax later. Because you know somehow someone would try.

In hindsight, this gives an awful perspective on the scandal that saw the Northam camp send mailers with Fairfax removed.

Seriously, he has no support. The democrats are done and the racist right-wingers won’t support him because he’s a democrat who is pro-choice. Surely, surely, he will end up resigning, right?
Although I haven’t forgotten that Justin Fairfax was alone in sitting out over Robert E. Lee’s birthday so maybe I’m completely wrong on how this will shake out.

I just remembered I still have a VA phone number attached to my phone and still know our old zip code. How wrong would it be to call with that info every day and demand he resign?

They said he needs to "listen." It's pretty weak sauce. And I say that as someone who loves Klobuchar but also thought it was weak sauce for her to not make a statement asking for Franken's resignation.

I can’t imagine him not resigning by Monday. But I also thought he’d resign today so what do I know.

Because that’s the most insane thing ever. They stay silent for their own and every dem I follow has called for his resignation. It’s like the twilight zone and I have no idea how the country even moves forward with people like them legit not in reality.

There is a prison full of freezing, starving people and it's lost in this news cycle. I was reading how some use CPAP machines and haven’t been able to use them and as a former CPAP user that just sent me over the edge. Corey Booker is involved and a lot of politicians stepped up today so hopefully this gets resolved ASAP, but it’s still extremely barbaric and there needs to be accountability.
