Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, Youngkin is a Nazi in a fleece lined vest.

True, but I posit if a person who is even great in one field, by speaking outside his expertise is just as dangerous as every MAGAT and their ilk.

The rage is deep, the frustration is real, and I'm completely on the side of the Black lady here, just saying.

"These kids seem to be having problems with long division. Historically, this has always been the case. Henceforth, 5th and 6th grade math will no longer be taught!"

In that vein I wonder how much "inflation" is just big companies exploiting the pandemic to raise their prices enough for everybody to notice, so that they'll vote the Ds out next chance they get.

They’ve already gotten at least one judge to order a hospital to give a patient ivermectin.

Youngkin also signed an order banning the teaching of CRT in schools, which means you can expect a Toni Morrison book burning by Groundhog Day.

It is fully conscious. I’ve encountered enough of them who just shrug off Covid deaths in the name of Freedumb.

I approve of this fine tactic. Just say no. It's worked for Republicans for so long. What's Yunkin gonna do? Withhold funds? I bet he runs afoul of the state Constitution if he tries that. I haven't read theirs, but many require equal distribution of funds (both state and federal) for education.

I encourage you to read the Rules, and to work on your rage. Your original post was borderline (not borderline) racist, and this response makes me think you need to examine your life choices. Because really, there is nearly no scenario in which "fed up screamy black lady" should lead to "my training kicks in and someone ends up dead."

This is so unfair. I'm white and I did not vote for Youngkin. Neither did my neighbor on the left and my neighbor on the right. Now people like me who have never once, yes, never once voted Republican have to be lumped in with my sister and her white supremacist friends. It's very unfair.

Your suspicion is absolutely correct. Retailers are making 14% profit now, about triple their norm.

You make an absolutely racist remark and I warn you against it by telling you about an event where the "white man outrage" was used against someone who has always been a liberal... and you call me a racist. So, in your white man hating world, I deserve to be yelled at... for buying chips while being a white man... and I'm the racist, ok. Feel free to get the last word, I no longer feel the need to banter with you.

Have mercy. There is no limit to "righteous" levels of profit.

I bet Fairfax and Arlington can just ignore this B.S. as much as they want. Half the parents there work either directly or indirectly for the government, and we all know how bureaucracy ends up taking so long that it's useless. Go Fairfax. Go Fairfax. It's your smart-day. It's your smart-day!
