Virginia governor's yearbook page shows 2 people in blackface, KKK garb

Sounds a lot like Kavanaugh but with Northam there is photo evidence with Kavanaugh there is ZERO substantiating evidence.

Just a human. And an expression by Kavanaugh himself of the kind of disposition one would have who commits a violent crime like rape.

No, they didn't. They chose to. I'm not aware of any major Democrat breaking in such a fashion from Clinton.



LOL, there already has been. :) He was President in the 90s.

It doesn't appear to that distinctive. And besides. you want a link showing that Reagan's polices benefited the rich at the expense of everyone else?

News flash! There were Democrats that don't believe removing statues of Democrats and denying history isa good idea. Which statues are next George Washington or Thomas Jefferson?

During his campaign, Northam was attacked by the GOP for betraying his slave-holding heritage, a traitor to his race. (Ha! Guess he proved them wrong).

So don't give us this Democratic Party racist line. The whole GOP is in the bag with racists. But, yes, it comes from both sides because it comes from * spoiler alert!* white people, and there are still just to dang many of them.

Ah. Your concern is inequality?
That has nothing to do with RWR or any other POTUS. The period 1945-75 was an artificially lush international economic environment for the US. By 1975 the countries that had been devastated in WW2 had returned to full competitive economic vigor. As a result, income distribution began a long term trend returning to historic (pre-WW2) norms. Increased inequality is simply a return to those historic norms.

No! if you can't see the absurdity in all this then you are the one who is lost.


What this governor did three decades ago in medical school is absolutely racist. But what he supported yesterday which was nothing less than infanticide was egregious and yet not one member of the Democratic elite spoke out against his remarks. But something this man did 3 decades ago they are lining up to condemn him demanding he resign.

It's been a hard lesson for many of the learning that is for sure.
 
The pixie is horribly racist, but seeing Trumpers lecture someone about it is ridiculous.

Sam Rayburn was never in the Senate, and he was not from Georgia. He was Speaker of the House, from Texas.

Republicans today are more interested in protecting monuments to Democratic slave holders than they are in fostering monuments to members of their own party who brought voting right to Blacks and civil rights to all. That is history too, but Republicans disdain it. they disdain their own history, and favor acknowledging the history of slave holders.

Based on this thread, I suggest you brush up your history knowledge.

A human who's best friend wouldn't even vouch for her story and a Judge that had decades of exemplary public service and the support od 60 or more women that knew him for decades. That's all. :roll:

Were you that understanding with the unsubstantiated accusations against Kavanaugh?
Click to expand...

I didn't care about him getting drunk in college, if that was what you mean. The attempted rape allegation can't really be put into the same category as typical drunken college behavior, which he admitted to, or black face in 1984. Rape was considered wrong by most people in 1984.

I opposed Kavanaugh's appointment for multiple reasons, including the baggage he brought, but I wouldn't support impeaching him now that he is in office. Likewise, this photo might be enough to prevent me from voting for Northam, but I don't think it merits forcing him out of an office he was already elected to.

Update - I am happy to see that there is little tolerance of this type of display in the Democratic party. So far there's been an increasing wave of calls for his resignation: Sen. Kamala Harris, Rep. Ted Lieu, Rep. Julián Castro, NARAL, NAACP, HRC, Move On, Daily Kos, and more that I am missing.

They've been joined by CBC, Planned Parenthood, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, NJ Gov. Phil Murphy (chair of DGA), the VA House Democrat Caucus, the VA Senate Democrat, the VA Legislative Black Caucus and several others.

Gov. Northam is holding a press conference tomorrow.

Not in a liberal Democratic Party. Only when there was a thriving conservative blue dog Democratic Party. You know... back not so long ago when the South hated Republicans for being the party of Lincoln and his "war of northern aggression!"

News Flash a lot of Southern Democrats still do.

Submit your resignation immediately, Governor.

There is nothing tolerable about this.

You know, I find it sad that this is how politicians are now taken down. Not over their morally execrable political positions, like ostensibly championing euthanasia for the Lebensunwertes Leben, but over disgusting youthful hijinks that occurred decades before the moral compass of the country shifted. This is distasteful, but is this the actual position of the Democratic Party? That if you ever engaging in morally reprehensible humor in your past 3 and a half decades prior to entering politics, that is what disqualifies you? Let us ignore the man's immoral political positions, but instead pay attention to some racy humor that is older than I am so we do not have to address the more reprehensible topics of child euthanasia and late-term abortion of healthy viable fetuses on demand? This is nonsense.

He was Hillary's mentor and in 2001 he used the N word on TV. He served in the Senate until 2010. So again which is worse dressing as a KKK member as a Halloween costume in Med School or being a KKK member for decades and being racist until at least 2001?
