Another shoe likely drops on Herring. Soon. Chronic blackface I guess (?).
I mean, who wasn’t a fan of rapper Kurtis Blow in 1980?!?
Accuser #2 on alleged rapist Fairfax that came forward apparently wasn’t expected accuser #2. So now we’re up to three. Nothing to see here.
This is only going to get much deeper. The frenzy that it’s already started has only started.
Restocked the pop secret today.

And I have one question:

WTF were the republican opposition research people doing instead of finding this all out before the election? Dropping this information in October before the election, as opposed to January over a year later, would almost certainly have changed the results.

These figured to be close elections in a major swing state, and as such should have gotten their full attention. Are they idiots, or merely incompetent? The revelations regarding the Northam yearbook supposedly came from med school classmates who were anti-abortion and reacted to his statements regarding late (very late) term abortions. Well, let's see, I'm guessing they were anti-abortion before the election, and I'm guessing Northam was pretty clearly pro-abortion before the election. So why in the world did this not come to light then.

Republicans were asleep at the wheel. Once again, they show their inability to play politics. And when they're the only thing protecting me from the democrats who are becoming increasingly socialistic, I am not willing to accept that level of incompetence.

Northam ran as a moderate (like McAulliffe, Warner, and Estrogen Kaine) to win. While most figured he'd be as liberal as he could get away with, there is nothing in the man's history that would have suggested he would end up being this radical. He was running against an establishment GOP milquetoast (Ed Gillespie) that brought nobody to the polls other than the straight ticket republican types that vote every election and Northam didn't seem so bad that he'd bring opposition to the polls either. For Northam, it wasn't difficult to get his people to the polls... just "Orange Man Bad".

That said, none of this excuses the sheer incompetence and the fact that this yearbook was of no issue. What's worse is we were going through Roy Moore yearbooks and fake signatures at the same time.

I imagine Democrats are going to ramp up their book burning phase. Huck Finn was among the first. Next they go after yearbooks that Democrats are in!

Huck Finn guy was either a Teacher or Admin at my middle school when I went there. That's how long this stupidity has been going on.
