Glenn Youngkin, the Republican Governor-elect of Virginia, will be allowing localities in the state – including cities, counties, and public school systems – to implement mask and vaccine mandates

That didn’t take long for buyer’s remorse to set in.

We MUST STOP re-electing Assistant Democrats.

Complete list of the GOP Senators up in 2022:

Roy Blunt (Missouri) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
John Boozman (Arkansas)
Richard Burr (North Carolina) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
Mike Crapo (Idaho)
Chuck Grassley (Iowa)
John Hoeven (North Dakota)
Ron Johnson (Wisconsin)
John Kennedy (Louisiana)
James Lankford (Oklahoma)
Mike Lee (Utah)
Jerry Moran (Kansas)
Lisa Murkowski (Alaska)
Rand Paul (Kentucky)
Rob Portman (Ohio) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
Marco Rubio (Florida)
Tim Scott (South Carolina)
Richard Shelby (Alabama) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
John Thune (South Dakota)
Patrick Toomey (Pennsylvania) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
Todd Young (Indiana)

Toomey, Burr, Blunt, Portman and Shelby are leaving, which helps, but there are a lot of them to primary.

Rubio and Hoeven are Amnesty Senators. They voted for a permanent Democrat majority, can’t be a better Assistant Democrat than that.

The only ones worthy of re-election are Johnson, Paul and Kennedy.

The rest are Assistant Democrats.

And it is experimental; this is partly why a booster may be needed

A booster? A single solitary booster?

Or a booster every 6 to 8 months with each round of bolstering causing about 10k to 20K deaths?

[who knows what evil?]

LOL...suckers!

[married21]

I don’t get why everybody is so upset with Governor Youngkin. He said he will not do a state wide decision and it can be done locally. That means local people need to step up and assert themselves. That seems like an approach that is conservative and small government. Give the guy a chance to establish a fuller track record before writing him off.

Republicans cooperated with the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

Obama is NOT a natural born citizen and is ineligible.

[Drew68]

The lying trolls are twisting what he said. He specifically said “NO MANDATES FROM ME.”

Thanks for injecting some sanity into this thread.

There's still a lot of people here butthurt that McAuliffe didn't steal the election like they promised he would.

[Skywise]

14 boosters to flatten the curve

[FreeReign]

No. They elected a guy who won’t tyrannize an entire state and instead chooses to allow local governments to decide what’s best for them.

Vaccine mandates at the local level? What does the US Constitution and the Virginia state constitution say about that?

There are certain inalienable right, don't you know?

[Clutch Martin]

Stopping the McClintonCrony was a good start.

[charles_covington]

Oh good, it will be my local school board injecting my kids with poison instead of the state school board, I was worried there for a second

[enumerated]

“…lack of critical thinking…”

And lack of intellectual curiosity - which makes them easy marks for the trolls - useful idiots.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell which are the trolls and which are the useful idiots, but after a while you can see it’s the same names that always chime in first with the defeatist messages.

There’s no point voting for Republicans - they are just as bad.
Trump is being controlled by Ivanka and Jared.
Blah blah blah

[backwoods-engineer]

Saw this coming. How do all you GOP voters like your RINO Supreme Sandwich?

[backwoods-engineer]

Yep, that's what they'd say and do.

Me? I'm DONE with voting. If it limited the Commies in any way, they would have made it illegal by now. As it is, they have certainly nullified it.

[voicereason]

But hey, lets keep voting “R” because they are better than the “D’s” or some such utter horse crap.

Far too many conservatives have battered-wife syndrome.

[Revel]

Another deep state infiltrator who came with an “R” in his name.

[lodi90]

Youngkin reminds me of Kavanaugh.

Good comparison. Youngkin really is from mainline GOP central casting. I was not impressed with his campaign. It seemed the usual campaign as conservative and govern as corportist that we see all the time in places like VA from the GOP.

It was a huge red flag to me that Youngkin supports the removal of Civil War monuments.

Youngkin is not a conservative of courage. He’s a go ahead to get along corportist. He’ll do the minimum required on conservative issues and not an ounce more.

[lodi90]

The logic is; if you vote D, you will always get a D.

If you vote R, sometimes you’ll get an R.

---

Not very often. The vote to certify the stolen election was 93-7 in the GOP controlled Senate.

[joma89]

I wish there was a viable third option. But there just isn’t.

[lodi90]

pathetic if so. Look at DeSantis in FLA; that guy kicks ass by protecting the citizens of Florida. He doesn’t let these radical leftist municipalities ruin our lives.

---

Youngkin will do the minimum required. He’ll do things like “ban” CRT but then spend no political capital rooting out violent Marxists from our institutions. We’ve seen this movie from the GOPe before. It has a bad ending.
