As far as politics. * Governor Northam (D): Urged to resign for wearing blackface * Lt. Governor Fairfax (D): Accused of sexual assault -
* Attorney General Herring (D): Admits wearing blackface -
* 3rd in line for governor: State House Speaker Kirk Cox (R) - Got in there via a coin flip.

I think a good hard look at almost any state government will look like a shit show. Consider the number of politicians from IL in jail or on the way. Consider the actions in GA to limit who could vote. Consider the Chief Justice of Alabama fighting the US SC. Consider the state of AZ allowing one sheriff to run roughshod over the rights of prisoners. Consider Christy. Consider vote counting or not in FL. I am not familiar with all state houses but I bet clean ones are exceptions.

So guys guys guys...
Get this.
Northam is still in his position. There's also a Muslim Congresswoman out of MN that's using anti-semitic tropes.
We all knew which party was the real racist right?

Huh? Who needs to heal? Perhaps Virginia needs to have a dialogue about race, but Northam isn't anywhere near the top of my list to lead that conversation. I like what Jonah Goldberg has to say about this in the National Review: www.nationalreview.com/corner/northams-vanity-project/

The sweetie out of MN is by my standards representative of one of the most serious ongoing problems in the United States...immigration, both legal and illegal. Although I believe the problem with our southern border is a real issue regarding illegal immigration it is in the big picture not as important as the coverage it gets. That's because the legal and illegal immigration here from around the world is the biggest threat to the United States. The biggest threat is our immigration and enforcement system that allows a constant flow of a really huge number of people that come here legally from all around the world with visas or as tourists and so on and then simply don't leave. They eventually then work their way into the "system" as legal and become anchor adults. The Congresswoman Leon references came here via Somalia and Kenya. We shouldn't be allowing immigration of peoples here from places like Somalia except possibly in extremely low numbers and then only after high standard vetting. It is harder to immigrate here from places like the UK or Norway or Germany than it is from Third World shitholes whose residents, for the most part, are of dramatically different cultures and different languages than of the United States and whose people have little love for the United States except for what they can get from it. As for loyalty and assimilation and love of the USA as a country as it is, forget about it.

Don't forget Colorado Governor Hickenlooper. He was up for re-election a few years ago. During the campaign he implied that if he wasn't re-elected, he would pardon a convicted killer, who shot to death 3+ former co-workers because the killer had been fired.
