The Youngkin campaign was based on lies.

He's an extremist, and we knew this a long time ago because he was getting votes from Fox-viewering, lied-to Republican voters.
The modern Republican party is an authoritarian radical movement.

The GOP uses white identity politics, a rightwing media, and lies ("CRT") to get elected.

Their policy agenda is to enrich billionaires and CEOs. They have no other goal.


How do we fix this?
[b]We unite – patriots, Americans, those who care about democracy and a fair shake for all.
And we reject the GOP. At the polls, but also those who vote for and embrace the radical GOP agenda.
What we can do? We all can do this! – cast Republicans out of the temple; cast them out of restaurants, make them unwelcome at social gatherings.

Meanwhile, gather like minded people who stand up for American principles and a plural multiracial democracy, and get them to vote in every election for Democrats and against Republicans.

Never believe another GOPer who claims he's a moderate but then fires the whole civil rights office.

All three attorneys and one member of the support staff of that unit were fired yesterday. One has six-month-old twins and was a career AG employee.

I also know the incoming person who is taking over those cases, and I’m the one who told that person that the people who knew anything about the relevant cases had been sacked. They aren’t cases that the AG can just drop, either.

I get that new administrations change things, but this was just cruel and classless. Also stupid. Not a great sign.

Do you understand what it means to have summarily fired the entire civil rights division.

He could have left them on the health insurance for 90 days. Same with severance. Too bad.

No, step back from what happens to the individual former employees for a moment. Do you understand what the civil rights division does, and the significance of firing everyone despite the current case load? Please explain your understanding of the implication of that, if you can.

Oh that? Yeah you can discuss the implications. Pretty terrible. Too bad 45% of Loudoun voters didn't think of the consequences on November 2nd.

But they were MAD! And they wanted everyone to see their tantrum. How dare, during a pandemic,you expect me to be responsible for my OWN KIDS?!?!?

That is exactly it. Being 24/7 parents was not the social contract they signed up for. How could they get their Starbucks latte and yoga class in with a 4-year-old hanging off them?

Each time you post this drivel you drive middle of the road working parents who were hanging by a thread last year (and had the services they pay taxes for ripped away from them) further to the right, so thank you 😊

I don't know for sure, but I had a family member who was an assistant AG in another state, and while he was not a political person, it was considered a political appointment.
I just googled Ms Hardiman. She has a very large BLM banner at the top of her Linkedin page. So, it would seem that she is quite political. (I've never seen anything like that on a Linkedin page.)

BLM is not a political movement, it's a human rights movement. Thank you for demonstrating that Republicans don't give a crap about basic human rights.

The GOP is an extremist authoritarian movement that seeks to destroy America as we know it and turn us into Franco's Spain.

(Franco's Spain had a brutal secret police that went after liberals and intellectuals.)

We have about 9 months to turn this around, break through the lies, and expose the GOP for what it is, or your kids will be living under an autocratic Christian regime that aims to help billionaires and harm every one of us on DCUM.

This is serious. The American experiment is at stake in the next 9 months.

This sounds dire. You are toast.

Here comes the name calling, right on schedule.

Facts are facts. Own it.

So the facts seem to be that Miyares terminated 30 people across divisions among the 649 persons reporting to him as Attorney General.

It's no surprise that the Democrats would exaggerate the extent of the firings or that some of the terminated employees would suggest citizens are utterly without protection without their continued employment.

However, they serve at the discretion of the Attorney General, and he is making changes. You do know that Biden terminated scores of Trump appointees and that their replacements in turn, push out career employees perceived to have been close to the prior appointees.

It's how executive agencies operate. Believe it or not, neither the Constitution nor state law establishes them as an independent fourth branch of government.
