There are some pretty egregious slavery imagery in that picture.

He's a real piece of work

In August 2013, police found Morrissey in his Henrico County home with a 17-year-old girl, now his wife, who was at the time an employee of his law office. Morrissey, the girl, and her mother denied any impropriety. A Henrico County court convened a grand jury to investigate a possible improper sexual relationship between Morrissey and the girl.[23] On June 30, 2014, Morrissey was indicted on felony charges of indecent liberties with a minor, possession and distribution of child pornography, and electronic solicitation of a minor, in addition to a misdemeanor charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, for which conviction he served three months of a 12-month sentence. After being convicted, Morrissey resigned as a delegate at the Virginia House.[23]

 

According to statements from the prosecutor in court documents, Morrissey had sex with the girl multiple times in his law office in August 2013, and possessed a nude photograph of the girl, which he also sent to a friend.[23] Morrissey allegedly continued the relationship with the girl after she left his law office in August 2013, and the two allegedly shared a hotel room overnight in October 2013.[23]

 

Morrissey denied the charges, saying the girl came to him for advice about family problems and was being abused by her father, and that the special prosecutor was out to get him because of a personal vendetta. Morrissey said he rejected a plea bargain for a single misdemeanor in December 2013.[28] He vowed to fight the charges in court, declaring that he would be vindicated, and rejected calls to resign his House seat.[29]

 

Morrissey again made national headlines in July 2014 when he used an obscenity on live television while reading a text message he claimed was planted on his phone by hackers.[29] He entered into a plea agreement in which he made an Alford plea to one misdemeanor charge and received an active jail sentence. News reports indicated that Morrissey would be eligible to attend sessions of the legislature on work release.[30]

 

Leading members of the Virginia Democratic Party, including Governor Terry McAuliffe, called for Morrissey to resign his seat.[31] Morrissey resigned his seat on December 18, 2014,[32] but ran in the special election to fill the resulting vacancy. On January 13, 2015, while serving a six-month jail sentence and running as an Independent, he won that election to reclaim his seat in the Virginia House of Delegates.[33]

Literally electing a guy who has had sex with kids (and shared pictures of them naked with other people) in order to keep out the Democratic pedophiles.


He is a democrat…

It is 4 total. Not gonna fault him for sowing his wild oats if everything else is above the board (especially since as an attorney who has his own practice I'm assuming he can afford to support them?) But the 17 year old employee now wife(who got married to save his political career) is yikes.

 

He used to be my rep! I even voted for him in a general election (better than a republican as always). Aside from this stuff he was very responsive to his constituents and worked his ass off to get elected as a white guy in a majority Black district. The mailers I got when he was running as an independent were wild.

 

But he's one of the likely Dem state senators who would work with republicans in a closely divided state Senate and otherwise republican controlled state government

GOP dorks already not thinking ahead at all

 

 

 

Oh, they are—they just don't care. The right wing functions off of "rules for thee, and not for me." They will do what they want, and then criticize the Democrats for doing the same thing later. Hypocrisy simply isn't a negative, in their world.

Even with high speed broadband in rural areas, and even if there were high quality (to say nothing of high speed) rail to certain rural areas linking them to central cities like DC and Richmond, I don't think that would do enough to lure significant numbers of people to so much as stop the bleeding of population loss. Even with these advantages the headwinds are significant. The reason why Loudoun and Powhatan etc have such high WFH rates is because (I assume here from experience with coworkers who lived in Powhatan anyway) that their spouse also worked in a job you can't do from home but still require a BS or greater (nurse, teacher, lab scientist, things of that nature) and only one of them would have a 20-30 minute commute (probably more in Loudoun and greater NoVA), so they get to have that land and "privacy" for a relatively affordable price.

I really hate Loudoun and almost all the rural areas of Virginia are awesome. I totally support a state- scale redistribution project. I'd like to see expanded use of the Virginia byways project with regular spots to stop and really engage with the landscape. Almost all the old towns could use some funding to spruce up. There are beaches other than VA beach and some would be really nice if they got cleaned up a bit but no we can't be going giving land value to the poors that wouldn't be fair to the investor class :rolleyes:

I can't remember where it is, but I visited the mountains on the WV/VA border in one small town that seemed to have been split in half during the creation of West Virginia and it's really incredible how even as disinvested most small towns in rural VA are, they're still significantly better than those across the border in WV. Same for Western MD and WV. Stunning area but one is going to hell and the others not as much.

Swing Voters Don’t Explain Why Youngkin Won - New York Magazine

Commentary by Ed Kilgore

Now comes some more granular data from political scientists Seth Hill and Dan Hopkins via FiveThirtyEight, and it seems to confirm that poor turnout by Democratic base voters defeated Terry McAuliffe more than ambivalent swing voters. “It was heavily pro-Biden precincts that delivered the governor’s seat to the GOP,” they write. More specifically, analysis of every Virginia precinct shows that McAuliffe underperformed Joe Biden’s 2020 margins by 592,000 in precincts Biden carried with at least 70 percent of the vote, while in those same precincts Youngkin fell short of Trump’s vote by only 124,000 votes. Both candidates had significantly slighter (and more equal) falloff from their presidential-candidate predecessors in more competitive and Trump-dominated precincts; indeed, Youngkin actually got slightly more votes than Trump in precincts the former president carried with at least 70 percent of the vote. This latter data point, however, confirms the general impression that the election was a battle of the bases that Youngkin handily won. And that’s exactly what the exit polls showed.

This is at best cold comfort for Democrats in Virginia and elsewhere who worry about 2021’s lessons for 2022, since off-presidential-year falloff for Democrats could well persist (unless hard-to-turn-out voters, particularly young people, who lean Democratic, are galvanized by subsequent events — like, say, a Supreme Court decision striking down Roe v. Wade). But it’s likely that in 2024, disparate turnout patterns will end, and the blue tendencies Virginia has exhibited in the past four presidential election will reemerge
