From Jimmy Carter on every VA Governor's race has gone to the party opposite the sitting President

Going back to Jimmy Carter every off year election for Virginia’s Governor has gone to the OPPOSITE PARTY OF THE SITTING PRESIDENT.

BTW I was dead wrong about VA's 2021 governor's race. I saw the high #s of vaccinations and that HRC won VA by
> 5 points in 2016 and Biden won VA by > 10 points in 2020 so that McAuliffe should walk to a win.

I am now officially Bi

I got the J & J shot last April and the Moderna booster shot today.

The #s don't lie. Terry McAuliffe should crush Youngkin*. The media is selling "the horse race."

(Simple question for VA are you for medical science and stopping the Corona virus or are you stupid?)

In Virginia, 6,052,433 people or 70% of the state has received at least one dose. (Lots of smart people aka blue voters in VA)

Overall, 5,372,576 people or 62% of Virginia's population has been fully vaccinated. (Lots of smart people aka blue voters in VA)

The media is pushing crap about Trump's "base" turning out in 2021 in VA to me @ least seems kind of dumb. Trump got
his ass kicked in VA in '16 & '20.

The Democratic Party candidate, Hillary Clinton of New York, carried Virginia with a 49.73% plurality in the popular vote against businessman Donald Trump of New York, who carried 44.41%, a victory margin of 5.32%. (wiki)

Joe Biden 2,413,568 54.11 Donald Trump 1,962,430 44.00 (wiki)

BTW VA around Woodstock, VA is very red, racist, Trump loving, Christian Evangelical/Taliban, and gun loving.

White House Communications Director, Kate Bedingfield is awesome.

I just saw her this AM and she is really really good. Joe & Kamala's press and spokespeople are all top notch.

It started raining but I still had a bunch of trick or treaters

Life is good.

Give me a fairy princess or a bumblebee and my heart
melts. Some stuff is priceless.

Happy Halloween 🎃 👻 🎃 👻 🎃

My Clintonville neighbors now want me to have Chilli and spiced rum.

At the end of the day politics is about the art of what is possible given the realities of ....

... what is there. And we can and must change those realities in '22 & '24.

This is a very good start and it is a good bill too. Yes, more things need to be done and they
almost certainly will but you have got to start someplace.

Are you fucking kidding me? Kyrsten Sinema's look at me moment.

Kyrsten Sinema Shredded for Wearing a Jean Jacket to Preside Over the Senate: ‘Does She Think This Is a F–ing Rodeo?’

Arizona Democrat Kyrsten Sinema wore a jean jacket vest Tuesday to preside over the U.S. Senate.

The throwback fashion statement — and we’ll call it what it was, tacky — wasn’t her first questionable choice or behavior that has drawn condemnation. But the utter surprise for those expecting a more professional sartorial demeanor — even from her — remained.

And it came at a crossroads, as congressional Democrats closed in on a deal for a domestic spending package. It’s something Sinema had previously stood in the way of, provoking anger among many of her colleagues in part because, in addition to trolling instead of engaging, she used it as part of an apparent attention-getting ploy.

Joe Biden is doing a great job and he has put together the best team I have ever seen.

The supply chain problems are not his fault but he is still working to fix it.

Republican obstructionists and 2 bought off Democratic Senators are not Joe's fault but he is still
working to get things done that the American people want to get done.

An ISIS suicide bombing in Afghanistan was not his fault but still he did the right thing in getting
us out of that unending war and pulled off the largest international airlift/evacuation in history.
The Taliban was escorting Americans and our allies to the airport and we did not lose one American.

Joe is not responsible for misinformation on Fox and the like along with Russian backed misinformation
on Facebook telling people that their free DUMBS are being hurt by getting a life saving vaccine and
trying to stop a global pandemic. Many republicans and their wealthy backers actively want the C-19
nightmare to keep going because they think that it will keep them in power because of a very Machiavellian
use of "chaos theory."

Joe is not responsible for the violence and brutal poverty in Central America that is MAKING people flee
their homelands and try to come here. However he has Kamala working on those tough issues with those
governments and international agencies and she is doing it quietly because that is what grown ups do.

Joe and Kamala have put together and are still building a new and very diverse Democratic party that will
be a juggernaut which will crush the republicans in most states in '22 & '24 if we get out and work. Joe's
got our backs so can we have his back?


BTW Joe is responsible for Jen Psaki and her daily ass kicking of turds like Doocy.



Jen's M.O., stupid question ... Then she does her head tilt, half smile, flips hair, nuclear powered laser beams from her
eyes (which we can't see), and then she drops the hammer. I want to have her children.

BTW I think this is a good time for me to take a break from DU for "a little bit."

Something really good in West Virginia

The Upper Gualey River. I might have one more trip in me. Class 5 Whitewater.

Liz Cheney, "Trump appears to have been 'personally involved in planning and execution of Jan 6 ....

insurrection."

No shit. Trump:

Helped to pay for it.

Gave out over a dozen invitations to the violence in which he gave the day, the date, the time, and the place.

Had his chief of staff Nick Mulvaney's niece fill out the paper work for the permit for his pre-riot pep talk.

Told the crowd to go and storm the Capitol so as to protect America's freedoms.

Fired Sec. of Defense Mark Esper and installed Christopher Miller who gave stand down orders to the D.C.
National Guard on 1/4/21.

Refused to call of his supporters when asked to do so from Rep. McCarthy and V.P. Pence.

Watched the violence and chaos on T.V. and did nothing.

Knew of planning sessions for the violence in 2 different D.C. Hotels.

And at the end of the day let the violent thugs walk away and told them that he loved them and was
proud of them. President Trump’s Chilling Message to Violent Mob Overtaking Capitol: "Go Home. We Love You, You’re
Very Special."

*********

What Trump was looking for on 1/6/21 was to have so much violence up to and including the muder
of Speaker Pelosi & Vice President Pence so he could declare martial law and stop the Constitutionally
mandated transfer of power.
