B-Man Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Never forget: none of this would be happening in Virginia right now if Kathy Tran hadn't introduced a bill to legalize abortion all the way up until birth. A bill that was going nowhere in the statehouse. That's what made Northam's med-school classmate drop the dime on him. . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gov. But I imagine any move like this would cause a giant amount of hoopla and probably some form of suit in the SC. Not sure the legality either, but I think this might compel me to pick up the phone and call my district rep to voice my displeasure in the bastardization of the government of the state by the democrat ass holes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 This seemed evident from the first moment (that it was an operation of some kind)... question is by whom? Is it really the Governor's med school buddies who turned on him after his disastrous infanticide comments? Or is it another activist group/party/actor?

Buffalo_Gal Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Here is a rundown on how succession would go: If the governor were to resign, the lieutenant governor — Justin Fairfax — would assume the office of governor for the duration of the governor’s term. That is what people thought would happen … </snip> If the lieutenant governor were elevated to the governorship or if the lieutenant governor resigned — now a genuine possibility — then the current president pro tempore of the State Senate “assumes the duties” of the lieutenant governor. Note that the president pro tempore does not assume the office of lieutenant governor. It is a subtle difference, but the office of lieutenant governor would be left open until the next statewide election in 2021. The current president pro tempore of the Virginia Senate is Sen. Steve Newman of the Lynchburg area. Newman is a Republican — a mild-mannered conservative who is well-liked on both sides of the aisle. Interestingly, he would not have to give up his Senate seat as he assumed the duties of the lieutenant governor. That means that he would get his vote as a state senator, and he would also get to vote to break any ties that arise in the chamber. </snip> There is more, and it is worth reading if you are interested in the Clown Show in Virginia 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been whispers that Fairfax is a "creep" and his past was "polished" as he was to be pushed on to higher offices after the LT Gov gig was up. "People" expected him to be the next VA Governor, and then on to the White House. That appears most unlikely now. The question I have is... what else is going to come out about him? His handlers are said to be "most unhappy". Edited February 6, 2019 by Buffalo_Gal 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 WASHINGTON POST EDITORIAL: Ralph Northam Must Resign. “His shifting and credulity-shredding explanations for the racist photograph on his medical school yearbook page, and the silence into which he then succumbed for days — after initially promising to do ‘the hard work’ of atonement and apology to restore his standing with Virginians — is simply too much.” Hey, WaPo editorial board — remember how you pushed Northam as some sort of racial healer, while gleefully spreading the bull#### claims that longtime milquetoast GOP pol Ed Gillespie was some sort of Stormfront stalking horse? Maybe you should resign, too. Hacks. Don’t try to pretend this is just about the rottenness of Virginia’s Democratic Party. You’re part of the rot yourselves. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Baby Killing Is Fine. Yearbook Photos Are The Problem. By Ben Shapiro Last week, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam was hit with a shocking blast from the past: a photo on his medical school yearbook page of a man in blackface and another man in a Ku Klux Klan outfit. Northam quickly apologized for the photo, then said he wasn't in the photo and then admitted he had once worn blackface and dressed up as Michael Jackson for a dance contest. He nearly moonwalked at a press conference before his wife gave him a look that could curdle milk. For this sin — the sin of an old, disgusting, racially insensitive photo — Northam now finds his political career on the skids. As of this writing, he's hanging on by his fingernails, even as his lieutenant governor struggles with dicey sexual assault allegations. The same week that Northam found himself in hot water, he endorsed a Virginia bill that would have broadened the ability of women to obtain an abortion up to the point of birth. Virginia Delegate Kathy Tran, a sponsor of the bill, stated in defense of her legislation that women would be able to obtain an abortion during labor. Northam then defended the bill, adding that if a baby were born alive during such an abortion — he assumed that the abortion would be due to "severe deformities" or "a fetus that's not viable" — then the baby could be "kept comfortable" while the family and the doctor decide its fate. Even in the least appalling reading of his comments, Northam clearly endorsed infanticide. Yet these comments did not merit his ouster. In fact, they didn't even merit an argument inside the Democratic Party about the extremism of the pro-choice position. Last month, Democrats in the state of New York cheered wildly for a law that opened the floodgates to third-trimester abortion, with Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordering state sites to be illuminated in pink in celebration of the potential murder of the unborn. The Democratic governor of Rhode Island endorsed a similar bill; Democrats in Vermont attempted to pass an even more extreme bill that would enshrine abortion as a "fundamental right" for the entirety of the pregnancy period.
