A sign of things to come this year?

“Three Democratic members of the Staunton, Virginia, city council were ousted by Republicans on Tuesday despite receiving more votes than they did four years ago.

Republican candidates Mark Robertson, Amy Darby, and Steve Claffey all joined incumbent Andrea Oakes in a four-seat GOP sweep, WHSV reported. The three incoming council members replaced Democratic incumbents Erik Curren, Ophie Kier, and James Harrington all almost doubled their vote totals from 2016, yet still lost.

Bottom line is that the strategies worked, flipping both from D to R, but the change in Staunton is stunning almost beyond words,” Graham opined. “A city that voted for Barack Obama, twice, voted for Hillary Clinton, voted for Terry McAuliffe and Ralph Northam, even gave a solid majority to Jennifer Lewis in her 2018 congressional run against Ben Cline, is now controlled by Republicans.”

Virginia City That Voted Obama Twice Throw Democrats Out Of Office

Voting by mail is bad...Trump says so himself its a travesty its even being considered as a option

You cant make this stuff up...….so a person picked up ballots for Trump then returned them for Trump.....so how do we know Trump was even the one that filled his ballot out how do we know it was not done by aides.....the hypocrisy is astounding.

President Donald Trump voted for the first time in Palm Beach County (presumably for himself)

As coronavirus cases started increasing and concern mounted in the days before Florida’s presidential primary, the state’s voters increasingly turned to voting by mail. President Donald Trump did the same thing, taking a moment to vote — undoubtedly for himself.
So did First Lady Melania Trump, who presumably also voted for her husband.

Eight days before the March 17 primary, a Trump representative picked up vote-by-mail ballots at the Palm Beach County Elections Office, said Supervisor of Elections Wendy Sartory Link. The same person returned the ballots to the elections office the day before the primary.

That's gotta sting.

For nearly everything trump speaks on he has a tweet or previous behavior to the contrary. It's like clockwork.

LOL I seriously doubt that. Especially when running against the likes of Bathroom Bill Forest.

Yea the nerve to say females should use a female restroom and males a male restroom. Safe to say the majority still agree with his view on this issue, that never was an issue till the left decided to make it one.

I have no problem with transgendered individuals using whichever restroom they are most comfortable in. I can not once in my lifetime say I was concerned or cared about the dude in the stall next to me. Whether its a dude dropping a deuce or a female sitting to pee I've never asked and never will.

Yes only ones in essential jobs and only ones that PAY taxes. Get over it already. They deserve to get their tax payer money just as much as I do. I'd ratherthem.get stimulus than Americans who wont work.

If they are paying taxes,whose soc sec number is it under? Oh I get it, they get paid cash and voluntary pay income taxes. You ok with them using your soc sec number to work under? No big deal,right?

Transgenders arent the concern. Its people manipulating that law that's the problem.

My guess is thousands of times a day transgenders just use the restroom of their choice. You never know it and it shouldn't be any of your business. You dont have to explain anything to your daughter.

ITIN dude research it. Did you read the highlights of the bill you're talking about? It explains it. Taxpayers be it legal or illegal have paid into the system the SAME and deserve the same benefits point blank and preiod.

You cant answer the question. In order to be paying taxes and entitled to a refund one has to be using someone elses social security number. No way around it. So your ok with that.

You blow my mind. You wonder why trumpsters get railed on as stupid? Did you even look at what a ITIN is? It's a number that allows you to pay TAXES without a damn SSN.

I don’t have issues with transgender having their own bathrooms. I have a daughter and son and we all know several will use this to get into opposite gender to possibly see young kids naked. That’s the sick world we live in. No reason a transgender who maybe using it as a cover should even have the chance to see kids or even ladies. Reason is it’s much more likely a man pretending to be transgender will want to see ladies naked than a woman being a man.

You really believe they paid taxes? Lmao. I’d bet most of their work was on cash only. So they file a small amount and get more than they paid. Especially those with large families. Hilarious you liberals would give America away and never blink an eye. Liberals think the democrat name means they want pay equality. When the liberals have more money than most Republicans. Yes both sides are filthy rich. Liberals want everyone to worship them and make people believe socialism works. It’s freaking hilarious. Trump is an ass but he at least believes in capitalism. Like yesterday some on here think that Harris making Wuhan and China virus as hate speech. Those I will call dumbas... What’s next saying Italian and Mexican food is hate speech. Or saying the Alamo is hate speech. This is why America needs to wake up and get rid of these sheeple. Give them tickets outta of America. America stands for FREEDOM not communism.

You will have more trouble trying to explain to your kid why the lady in the dress is pissing in the urinal.....since she is forced to use to male bathroom even though she presents as a women....

If you read my post. I said they should have their own bathrooms. Like unisex.

What I said is all truth. I’m not taking up for either party. I’m sick of them both. Especially liberals wanting to take rights away. Little by little they chip away. This is a law. This is hate speech. Let’s tax this. Let’s give money to all. The sewage coming out the deep state is ruining America. Hopefully people are starting to wake up and will start demanding term limits and a change in politicians living off the Americans backs.

Katha Pollitt: I'd Vote Biden Even 'If He Boiled Babies and Ate Them'

The Nation columnist Katha Pollitt claimed on Wednesday she would vote for presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden even "if he boiled babies and ate them."

Trump wondering why Fox News is not doing more to help him get reelected lol.....the bolded part is significant.....that age range is the GOP bread and butter Trump won that age range by 9 pts last election so if the poll is to be believed that's a huge swing and major trouble for Trump.....one has to wonder if his Covid response or lack there of is hurting him with this group as they are more vulnerable to the pandemic.

Fox News Poll: Biden more trusted on coronavirus, Trump on economy

Most voters are concerned about the pandemic and the economy, so when they favor Joe Biden on coronavirus and Donald Trump has a narrow edge on pocketbook issues -- it makes for a tight race for the White House.

www.foxnews.com

The survey released Thursday finds Biden at 48 percent support and Trump at 40 percent, with 11 percent undecided or saying they’ll support someone else. Trump and Biden were knotted at 42 percent in the same survey last month.

Biden leads by 17 points among voters aged 65 and over and by 13 points among independents

Cooper seems to be doing quite well poll wise so far against Forest:

North Carolina : Governor Polls

The latest political polls and polling averages from FiveThirtyEight.

Obviously this will probably tighten up some as we get close to election day but it is incorrect to suggest Cooper is in real trouble right now. #ReOpenNC could only draw 200 people when they promised 1000's marching on Raleigh in their last demo. That should also be a clue that they don't have the support some would like you to think they have.

I voted for him and will so in November but actions like this is just wrong. I don’t wear a mask unless required by a business I have to enter. This plant required mask so he should have respected the people working their to wear a mask also. Disappointing he did this. As for it being a state law that’s BS. Don’t agree with that and I would say Supreme Court will shoot that down. I went to Hardee’s this morning and the seniors were out in full force sitting inside. No masks which surprised me them being mostly 60-80 yo. Also we’re not social distancing. The majority Id say 95% at businesses and out and about all believe these precautions are stupid. Like at Hardee’s they said the not being able to refill your drink on your own or having napkin holders out or condiments. I believe Biden wins in November unfortunately. Thing is he better be real careful the restrictions he tries to enact. Tensions are already high and people are on edge. I say my doctor this morning for my yearly checkup. He has been my doc 40+ years. He told me the depression and anger and people starting to lose it is real. That it’s getting really bad quickly. He said depression meds are skyrocketing. As I have said when done with this virus. The economic and mental effects on people will be worse than virus itself.

I believe he wore a mask for most of the tour but didn’t in front of the press. One person did manage to take this pic before he took it off.

“Trump did wear a mask for part of the tour of the plant that has been repurposed to make medical supplies, but refused to put it on in front of reporters -- although at least one photographer snapped a photo that was posted on social media. It showed the president wearing a mask that included the presidential seal.”

Cooper is a moderate, he has a good chance of winning. Nc is moderate. BUT, Republicans are typically not the ones that protest so it's hard to gauge support because of a protest when it involves Republicans.

They didn't play a fake card. He chose not to wear one for part of the time while he was there for whatever reason.

Seriously? What is not likely? A man pretending to be a lady and dress like one to see ladies naked? Or kids? They already happen and will continue and encourages it even more by allowing transgender in regular bathrooms. Do you have kids? You sure seem naïve.

It’s looking like schools will have hard time going back if they follow the Stupid corrupt CDC guidelines. My sis is on TN state education board. Here is some of the guidelines.
No cafeterias. All food has to be in brown bags. Kids will eat at their desk.
All desk 6 feet apart.
No changing classes. No teacher changing classes. All students and teachers stay in their classrooms all day. No teacher can leave kids unattended. If one has to go to bathroom they all line up 6 feet apart and go.
All desk aiming same way.
In MS and HS this is not possible because teachers are not equipped to teach multi subjects. They are geared towards one subject.
Buses most have every other seat on bus. Plexiglass installed between seats.
This is just some of the guidelines. Welcome to prison kids. All over a virus. This keeps up you will have mass revolts eventually. People are getting sick of it. I have heard 100% today where I have been say people will die we can’t make millions suffer for the ones that will die from this virus. Not my words today. This is actual several people saying this.
