CNN: Sadness, disbelief and disgust: Virginia politics plunges deeper into chaos as Dems worry
CNN ^ | February 6, 2019 | Dan Merica and Ryan Nobles

Virginia politics descended further into chaos on Wednesday, and Democrats in the capital grew more dismayed by the possibility that a trio of scandals involving their top three statewide officials had laid waste to years of work building up the Democratic Party in the commonwealth.

The controversies have created a pseudo-standoff between scandal-plagued Gov. Ralph Northam, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax and Attorney General Mark Herring, all of whom are fighting to hang on to their jobs as public outrage grows around each of them.

None of them wants to resign first, creating a scenario where all of them could hold on to their positions because of the utter chaos around the Capitol. That, said a longtime Democratic operative, would not be good for the party.

Wikipedia says it all...

Schadenfreude; (German: lit. 'harm-joy') is the experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of or witnessing the troubles, failures, or humiliation of another. It is one of four related emotions or concepts.

Schadenfreude is a complex emotion, where rather than feeling sympathy towards someone's misfortune, schadenfreude evokes joyful feelings that take pleasure from watching someone fail. This emotion is displayed more in children than adults, however adults also experience schadenfreude, they are just better at concealing their expressions.

Schadenfreude, in plain English, means:”Glad to see the fools and traitorous bastards suffer”

The rather sad thing is that it’s some photos from 30-40 years ago that may lead to two of the top 3 resigning. Northam should have been drummed out of office and forced to resign (as well as his medical license revoked) over slowly and carefully explaining how he would (or had in the past?) allow the mother to give birth and then proceed to murder the baby.

Instead, people are upset about some blackface at a party.

Speaks volumes about how far our country has fallen that murdering babies is less of an offense than a costume.

The Fairfax situation. I haven’t seen any of the #MeToo Hollywood celebs come out in favor of the accuser. No widespread calls for resignation. Even the accuser — who holds a Ph.D. — is not afforded the “Dr.” moniker by the MSM.

I’d like to see all three resign and the Republican take over. Picking a name out of a hat may be a better approach for future races there. Voters can’t seem to pick anyone decent.

So please don't go
Don't go
Don't go away
Please don't go
Don't go
I'm begging you to stay

I want Northam to stay for as long as possible. Just point to him whenever the far left Trump haters come up with their “Trump is racist” nonsense.

Being a Democrat means never having to say ‘I’m Guilty’...

Have concluded that more often than not the most vile are the chosen or anointed or probably announced as the politically selected. Yes Virginia and my fellow Americans the rabbit hole or the swamp is probably that deep. Damn I’m no longer confident in voting. The river runs swiftly that is life. I’m grateful my time on Earth is fleeting quickly although I know if allowed I’ll miss the Grandchildren when my time is up Everthing else.... and everyone else... call me ..... maybe I’ll answer and maybe not. God Bless President Trump. Pretty much all the remainder of the elected can go to hades. They are as worthless as I am

We should pounce to stave off socialism and loss of gun rights cor a few more years but all of the illegals nd refugees imported into Virginia by the leftists means they will eventually vote in leftists again so they can get stolen money through the government. And of course, that stolen money will come mostly from white people to pay for all the illegal people of color.

Napoleon attempted suicide with a pill he had carried after nearly being captured by the Russians during the retreat from Moscow.

The flesh cant seem to help itself.. power, prestige, money, and they all succumb to the temptation. It just satisfies their weaknesses. The left delight in accusing others.. but they are worse.

Thinking his own side had something to do with bringing his photo forward. He got out too far ahead on their baby killing ambitions. He had to go.

CNN is especially distraught after convincing themselves the Virginia Governor was a Republican, and plotting to hang him around President Trump’s neck.

This could have been said by any Soviet Communist Party member:

That, said a longtime Democratic operative, would not be good for the party.

I suspect we may be receiving highly shaded reporting and the citizenry is outraged by the statehouse passing a law to murder babies. That could be the real cause of the turmoil, or be an added factor on the blackface brouhaha.

At least I hope that is the case and the crooked reporting is covering that up.
