~*Official "What the hell, Commonwealth of Virginia?" Thread*~


Recommended Posts

So does that make it more legit? I haven't been following that.

 

In Canada we had our own sexual harassment scandal where the democratic socialist 3rd party NDP (but still large, having 44 seats in our House of Commons) kicked out a member. It was revealed that he was a close-talker who basically has Asperger's and didn't get social cues. I have personally gone door to door with him during the campaign (he used to be my MP before I moved) and he is totally socially unaware and doesn't read social cues, so it makes sense. Anyway, the party overreacted and kicked him out, but not for the harassment, but because he went public saying their review process was not fair. Anyway, my point is that it's always hard to tell of accusations are true or not. I do think that women should be given the benefit of the doubt initially, however.

It is definitely not a right wing hit job either, looking through her twitter she is way left. 

 

It really wouldn't make sense for this to be a right wing hit job (at this point) anyways.  The right would need to get Northam to resign or be impeached first so Fairfax becomes Governor.  Once he is Governor, that is when you would release the hounds.

Does Northam need the state legislature to approve a replacement for Fairfax if Fairfax goes first? If so that could be the play here, trying to get Fairfax out first so that Fairfax can't become governor and select a new Lt. Governor.

 

But I could see Northam making the play on the basis of creating a situation where it become viewed as riskier to force him out too.

A hit job doesn't have to force someone out just make them and by extension the party look bad

Wouldn't all governors be privileged?????

Why single out that he is a white male?????

To answer your questions

Wouldn't all governors be privileged?  Yes

Why single out that he is a white male? I didn't you did.

 

 

Your obsession with identity politics is mind boggling

Calm down, we are working on my Wokeness

 

I think you're just a dumbass, but sure, let's say it's that. Or is that bullying to call a thing what you think it is?

 

And given you troll users (myself included), that means you are a dishonest debater to boot.

 

The sad thing is, you're not even funny (at least, of course, to me). It's sad because until recently I didn't know you were quite like this.

First, I think you really need to take a break.  It's weird just how polarized people have become in the past couple years, (Trump is largely to blame but it goes much further than that).

Please elaborate on the users I troll and my trolling of them, including yourself.  

What's truly sad, is that I don't have any of the negative things to say about you as you do about me.  I think you are a smart guy and we disagree on some (very few) things.  Social Media seems to be destroying people and their ways of communicating with others.  

Sorry bud

The problem is you admit you might not know enough about these things ("you may very well be right" or "working on wokeness"), but you come into threads and say outrageous things. A person who knows they don't know much about something either reads up on it first so they have some foothold or they ask questions. I disagree with plenty of people on plenty of topics here all the time, just ask @mclumber1 or @sblfilms but we understand each other and hear each other out. They don't instigate or bait me, they discuss in good faith from a different position they genuinely hold that still has merit. 

 

You say inflammatory things like: "wearing a MAGA hat at an anti-abortion rally" is the same thing as Muslims wearing traditional Muslim garb. It's so gobsmackingly stupid to say that to even put forth the point, and then try to defend it, and then entrench yourself further, all the while now implying you are "working on your wokeness" makes you an almost malicious person. Either shut the fuck up or learn first or frame your points of views as questions if you are unsure. For instance: "is wearing a MAGA hat at an anti-abortion rally when you are a young white male the same thing as any and all kinds of Muslims just wearing traditional Muslim garb the same?" All of us would calmly and happily explained the point to you.

 

But not you. Not ever you. You have to take the wildest and most ignorant positions and then push them. You, to me now, come off like OhioGuy or HeyYouDVD or Dodger or Alien-Gunner. I didn't think you were like them but if all you are interested in is baiting and then not listening as you entrench yourself further in your terrible, backwards, anachronistic views on things, then yeah, I'm not interested because there's no way to communicate anything to you.

This board is far more entertaining, tbh.   The amount of hatred towards others is truly astounding. 

 

We're at war with the alt-right in real life. Wake the fuck up - yes, I hate that group as they are only interested in destroying me, my life, and the possibility of creating a better world for everyone.

@Greatoneshere is this the type of baiting and trolling you are referring to?  Sorry about that m8

 

You've made everyone stoop to your level and they are tired and done with you. You start a fire in their house and then get upset when finally, they've been pushed to the brink, they start a fire in your house.

 

Yeah, it's their fault. Projection 101.

I mean really think about it for a minute @Greatoneshere what did I say in this thread that truly set you off?  

 

 

It doesn't matter because you wouldn't listen to the counter arguments I'd make to the "points" you've made anyway. Hence why I've ignored posting in this thread until now. 

 

You simply don't merit my time or consideration on the matter as a result.
