Simmsy Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 1 hour ago, EmirOfShmo said: Some of the comments in that are amazing, Republicans really are ****ing morons. They seriously cannot connect the dots between the message being portrayed by Youngkin and the fact that he rolled back protections when the air quality is code red. Their main point is "It was arson, what does that have to do with emissions". Look outside, you idiots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofSparta Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I think Gov. Sweatervest may have overstepped on this one. He was elected to destroy schools, not the Blue Ridge/Shenandoah or Chesapeake Bay regions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmirOfShmo Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Wait, did she say "diverse workforce"? She better check with sweatervest before using that phrase... 🤣 Maryland governor says Youngkin doesn’t support the FBI as states vie for new building A competition between Virginia and Maryland to house the new FBI headquarters heated up this week with Maryland Gov. Wes Moore slamming Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s prior criticism of the agency. “I’m the only chief executive of the two states that actually says, ‘I believe in the mission of the FBI and I don’t believe it should be defunded,’” he said during an interview with WTOP radio. “If I’m incorrect, I know Gov. Youngkin will correct me and he will come out publicly and vocally say, ‘I believe in the mission of the FBI, I believe the FBI should be funded, and I believe that the attacks on the FBI are unfair.’” Many Republicans legislators — including Youngkin — took aim at the FBI last year after the agency executed a search warrant at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. Some Republicans in Congress have since called for the FBI to be defunded. “I think that should matter and I think it does matter,” said Moore, a Democrat. Youngkin spokesperson Macaulay Porter dismissed Moore’s remarks as a “partisan attack.” “Virginia is well-positioned to support the FBI headquarters with a diverse workforce, extensive transportation network and close proximity to public and private sector partners,” she wrote in a Monday email. “Virginia’s competitive advantage is clear.” https://richmond.com/news/state-regional/government-politics/wes-moore-glenn-youngkin-fbi/article_7944fa80-1b4d-11ee-a7f5-df3582dfba1d.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, notably absent from the response is any mention that Youngkin does, in fact, support the mission of the FBI. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attempt to say "Nuh-uh!" without actually saying it and pissing off Trumpies that hate the FBI for enforcing the law against their god. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky21 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Remember this? On the subject of abortion...He acted like a moderate when he was obviously not that at any time. "When I’m governor and I have a majority in the House we can start going on offense. But as a campaign topic, sadly, that in fact won’t win my independent votes that I have to get,” he said. Youngkin says in video he can’t discuss abortion for fear of losing independent votes | The Hill 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) Per some news source his approval rating is at 57-32.... so odd.. (I think that Morning Consult) His approval among Democrats was 34 percent which seems pretty high too. The news article described it as "polarizing"... I would say it is fantastic to have opposing voter approval at that rate. Edited July 25, 2023 by Fergasun Added more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooked Crack Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 Youngkin lucky that all his impulses legislatively have gone nowhere with a Dem senate. He'd be very unpopular if he could pass his agenda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
