Except that Lucas isn't motivated by what voters think. She hates Youngkin. This is personal.


And Youngkin hates ordinary Virginians. And women. It's personal for him, too.


Just because someone holds different political beliefs than you doesn’t mean they personally hate you.

And don’t project your own beliefs onto an amorphous group of people you call “ordinary Virginians.” There’s no such thing.

And fellow owner Jerry R in Chicago is also seeking a taxpayer subsidy.


None of these guys would be billionaires without taxpayer subsidies.

It’s too bad they can’t have a little humility about that fact.


They’re all insecure little boys inside.

Well, her certainly likes billionaires over taxpayers, that's for sure.

his campaign was built on the false CRT narrative; his women's health preferences speak for themselves.

Yes, he hates people like me.

Recognizing the potential impact on DCA, the chairs said he's been trying to discuss with Alexandria or the State and nothing. So add the airports to metro on stateholders never involved in this process. This whole thing stinks


So their plan is to have people park at DCA lots and take the metro and no one from Monumental though to, you know, talk to DCA about it?

Maybe this is all just a ruse to get DC to pay more to keep the teams. They didn't talk to Metro either.


I've predicted from the beginning that all of this was a ploy drunkenly cooked up by Youngkin at the 18th hole clubhouse to help his buddy shake out more money from the DC government coffers.

lol Republicans have no leg to stand on when you criticize a Democrat over “civility”

I think it's hilarious every time they talk about "civility" or "decorum".



That’s a word for losers. Trump has the GOP finally fighting like democrats which is good for everybody. Hating each other is better than the GOP getting trampled by the vicious and violent left. The media is no longer paid any attention to. It’s awesome !!

It can always move forward by having Ted and Zach Leonisis financing the project in the private sector, if the deal is so good. No need to have public monies and resources on the hook, right?

Northern VA Republicans join opposition to Potomac Yard arena

" This is not the type of deal an ordinary retail establishment or restaurateur would get. Instead, it’s a deal reserved for the privileged and well-connected few. This goes against our vision for the future of the party and undermines our party’s values of fairness, transparency, and equal opportunity. We believe in policies that benefit all Virginians, not just the elite few. We cannot support a deal that undermines these core principles."


I'm not a Republican, but I applaud this message and agree with their words.

Watching this project crumble is hilarious. I know a lot of people are against it, but I think the labor union promises didn’t help, and of course making taxpayers fork over money too.

It's not just that a lot of people are against it. Aside form Ted and the politicians backing it, no one is for it. The local residents don't want it, state tax payers don't want to pay for it, fans don't want it.... I live in Alexandria and I have yet to hear anyone even on the fence about it; everyone is against it

So how does Ted go back to Mayor Bowser at this point? He has burned so many bridges with the fans and the city. Maybe he will just sell the teams.

Yep he is a criminal, lying sack of crap. Nothing that comes out of Youngkin's mouth is truthful.
He will rob Virginians blind if he gets the chance. He loves Betsey DeVos it that doesn't tell you he's a complete ass you are unbelievably stupid.
