shoful 13,304 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/02/us/virginia-scandal-northam-fairfax.html This is the strange, suspended state of Virginia politics, just two months after scandal after scandal seemed to be devouring the state’s government from the top down. In the space of a week in early February, the public was stunned by revelations about each of the three highest statewide elected officials, all Democrats: the racist photo in the governor’s yearbook; accusations of sexual assault against the lieutenant governor; and the attorney general’s appearance in blackface at a party in college. Protesters and news crews swarmed the Statehouse. Calls for resignations came from fellow Virginia Democrats, Republicans and even 2020 presidential candidates. And then? “It just went poof,” said Natalie Draper, a librarian sitting in the back of a coffeehouse last week in Richmond. “It’s like it never happened.” ~~~~~~~~ Was this expected? Totally, luckily I have receipts "My name is Dita, I'll be your Mistress tonight..." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politicians have always been like this but Trump has made it so much worse. The bar is so low now, people get away with anything. No accountability.

It's just the news cycle changes like every 15 minutes so our attention is divided. Like what even happened in February to bury this topic?

I was challenging your view a little bit and you act like I support trump. Claiming that all politicians are unscrupulous is a conservative talking point used to excuse whatever they do. So, yea, it’s pretty annoying to excuse poor behavior because “hurr durr all politicians are like this.” Which is clearly not true but again, in this day and age no one seems to care.
