Youngkin thinks he is king

He is the worst. The last thing Loudoun needs is Tuckems level stupidity and deceit and that's what he's bringing to the table.

Like I said above, I see you and raise you:

The vetoes were widely seen as payback for Senate Democrats’ refusal to confirm a handful of Youngkin appointments, starting with their rejection of a Trump administration official for the governor’s Cabinet. Ebbin, as chairman of the Senate committee that handles appointments, has been at the center of those appointment battles.

In early February, the Senate Privileges and Elections Committee rejected Andrew Wheeler, Youngkin’s pick for secretary of natural and historic resources. Virginia’s General Assembly rarely snubs a governor’s Cabinet nominee, but the Democrats strenuously objected to Wheeler, a former coal lobbyist who led a rollback of Obama-era environmental regulations as President Donald Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency chief.

How juvenile. I expect better than that from my 10 and 13 yos.

People, at least know the facts before you start reposting misinformation. You are part of the problem!

So he is behaving differently than any other previous governor but it's "selective" outrage.

Oh.

Oh please I remember Northam signing the SB1303 guaranteeing in person school on the very last day.
Andplusalso - the Ds are no better. Youngkin is basically doing payback for the Ds not approving one of his cabinet selections which they historically just rubber stamp - and so the Ds also behaving differently as well.

It’s really becoming clear to me that the difference between the Rs and the Ds is the difference between gonorrhea and chlamydia.

Dems opposed one nominee who was wholly unfit and approved lots of others without incident. That’s a little different from what Youngkin is doing.

What exactly is he doing - signing one version of a bill instead of both? It's the same result for citizens.

Custom and practice is for the governor to sign both versions, regardless of who sponsors them. Youngkin is signing the Republican-sponsored House versions while vetoing the Dem-sponsored Senate versions so the Republican sponsors can claim credit and the Democratic sponsors can’t. It is rank partisan politics, and highly divisive. Definitely not he behavior of someone who is trying to a uniter as Youngkin claimed he would be. He’s petty and vindictive, which are not good traits in a leader.

People tried to warn the fair weather Democrats that Trumpkin would try to drag the commonwealth back in time. But the kids were going to learn about Black people as if they were humans!

Sooo he’s the Republican POS everyone said he was.

Ah, yes. The smug high schooler who will call anyone who claps back at him a "bully." Perhaps he's not old enough to know this is commonplace among governors - but I imagine most of the outraged posters here are definitely old enough to know better.

"It’s not uncommon for governors to veto more bills from lawmakers of the opposite party. From 2019 to 2021, 33 of the 38 bills vetoed by former Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam were sponsored by Republicans."

And now he’s being sued by many media organizations because he is violating FOIA on submissions to his educator tip line. Laws don’t apply to King Youngkin.

I guess DCUM's finest have conveniently forgotten about all of Northam's vetoes. Figures.

That's why everyone hates politicians. But you notice in the Rs and not the Ds. I'm saying they both do it.

Oh, is your Google broken? Not OP, but this was the first hit when I searched “Youngkin vetos”: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/04/12/youngkin-veto-general-assembly-loudoun-schools/

It provides examples of bills with broad bipartisan support vetoed by Youngkin and statistics on how not only is Youngkin being very aggressive in his vetos and amendments, but also how he is using them to target Democrats in the General Assembly, at times in very petty and vindictive ways.

Are you new here? When someone starts a thread, the expectation is that that OP will provide relevant links and not just throw out some random words.

He's pro-active.

Unlike a certain president at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave that you can't even get action from when inflation is 8.5%.

I agree that unilaterally doesn't mean what you think it is means. It's up for a vote now - the exact opposite of unilateral.

The ignorance on display by the resident LWNJs is entertaining - but expected.

DP. Whoooooosh... that's the point. He's not behaving any differently than previous governors.

Whenever I post a link, it is clear that later posters don’t read the article(s) and just post their reply so this time I didn’t post the links. As PP said, these actions were common stories in the newspaper that day and you really should have been aware of them.
