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.

It's bubble think Stink! They don't listen to the public. They don't brainstorm the angles the opposition will attack. They just look for the next members of the club who are due their shot. I've seen this in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee, so toss in Virginia. The more a group thinks they are right the more likely it is to occur. So why not Virginia?

What's more these people haven't caught on that investigators and dirty tricks people from the national parties will do their due diligence to talk to old classmates, former coworkers, and neighbors to get the dirt on anyone, and if not dirt certainly something they can spin or allude to at the last moment so that truth is not an obstacle.

It's an all out propaganda war and those who think Joe Blow and Billy Bob Goodfellow are going to be able to hold their shotgun over their shoulder in front of a church and oh shucks it for the rubes and win are just plain damn stupid! Every damn one of them is a lawyer and if there is any group of people on the face of the earth that are going to have former friends, neighbors, or clients that hate them it's a lawyer.

Add sanctimonious commercials to the mix and the hypocrisy is enough to bring out the detractors and provide a negative narrative.

High school and college is what they stoop to when everything else came up dry. Al Gore locked his college roommate up until his election was all chadded out. They supposedly smoked a bong together in their college days. But hey, I hand it to Al his campaign had the good sense to avoid a potential negative.
