Should Governor Elect Youngkin be sworn in early?

[Eriech]

Karma that Senator Kaine spent most of a day stuck.

Motorists including Sen Tim Kaine finally rescued from snowbound I-95

The I-95 through Virginia was finally cleared on Tuesday evening, after motorists including Senator Tim Kaine were stuck for well over 20 hours.

Passing through there this weekend. Maybe a week will be enough time to clear a little snow. Virginia used to do a great job in winter. The rare storms that crept down into the Carolinas were the nightmare.

Yes. Install him as a dictator. Make the cars run on time.

While sunlight is expected to help @VaDOT clear the road, all Virginians should continue to avoid 1-95.

There was a dumb thread this morning that I did not think would have any competition for dumbest of the day, then the OP said "hold my beer"...

Sunlight will help

Uh...it'll take more then that, Ralphie.

Some people think that Youngkin IS the Gov. right now and are criticizing his "lack of help":

Some libs are blaming Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin for the ongoing humanitarian crisis on I-95 in northern Virginia. Who wants to tell them?

Unironically yes.

The democrats legit do not care about regular people.

Their attitude is probably “well George Floyd is dead so you don’t deserve to be able to get home, stop complaining”

All of their political program is about advancing the cause of extremist minority groups at the expensive of the middle and working classes.

what the **** does George Floyd have to do with plowing the roads lmao

It’s the attitude of the left. They are guilty of serially incompetent mismanagement and they always deflect with “but muh racism” when they have to answer for it at election time.

Republican governors like DeSantis are currently providing a completely clinic in incompetent mismanagement, stop projecting.

Also it would behoove the right to attempt not to be racist, but if they did they probably wouldn't have much of an ideology left.

So bad that AOC had to come down and party maskless because Florida is open for business, which is what the people of that state want and which is a completely legitimate public policy tradeoff

If this was a dumb thread, hold my beer
When people are blaming Youngkin for the debacle on 95; the question I asked seemed logical. Many on the left thought he had been sworn in already. America is craving competence. 2 weeks early is an easy ask.

NY City is better off already, just saying. Hold my beer ( bourbon)

He should be sworn in on whatever time and date was previously designated. What does a snowstorm have to do with this?

Nothing, that is the point. Ask Bush about Katrina? Ask Trump about the China virus. The left tried to blame Youngkin who wasn't yet Governor.

None of these events necessitate changing Inauguration Day.

I have no idea what you're talking about or how it relates to Inauguration Day, and your OP doesn't offer any clues. If you had some point to make, I assume you would have made it already, so this thread is just a stream-of-consciousness word association.

Do you think the Mexican government should ban Brazilian steel imports because of the Ethiopian War in Tigray?

A southern state that lacks proper snow removal... Imagine that, they share that quality with literally every state in the south. Hell, I would be surprised if there were 10 snowplows in all of the South.

Virginia gets enough snow it has plows and salt trucks. they wernt deployed
Most southern states have some plows - just not that many. Atlanta for ex gets hit with snow often enough to have plows

Atlanta averages less than 2 inches of snow a year. I can't imagine it coping with much snow at all. There is reason why growing up in the south, everything shut down with even a hint of snow. I am not saying it's not a **** up, I am just saying it's not surprising.

they dont cope well..true. the surprise was they were caught so flatfooted. and gave no warning on the signage

 

[Lord Tammerlain]

Gosh darn socialists wanting the government to take care of their problems.

They should have put snow tires on their car and carry bags of sand. But no, they cry that the government is not helping them instead of doing it themselves

According to army cowboy, whose wife is down there right now, the heavy rains prior to the switch over to snow prevented them from getting the salt down ahead of time.

• Virginia's governor, Ralph Northam, came under furious criticism for failing to deploy the National Guard after travelers were left without food and water
• On Tuesday afternoon Northam said the National Guard was on stand by, but blamed a perfect storm of factors for creating the monster backlog

 

[Linc]

Biden should have definitely been sworn in early. Too bad the traitor trumpers weren’t all CC—corrupt carry—eh?!
