@journeywithme2 Someone made a prediction about all this information coming out.
As someone who lived in NoVa for over a decade and voted for McAuliffe last time, no worries. I really feel that he will be ok and win.
What's that old joke? You could draw a boundary at the Rappahannock River and have two Virginias- north would be blue and south would be red. Still true, I imagine, but since most of the population is in the north and leans blue, no worries.
Was just talking to my husband today about W. VA, and how ironic it is that it exists because it ceded from the Confederacy, and now it's one of the reddest states, and VA proper is purple leaning blue.
Charlottesville was overrun with people not from there, it's a pretty liberal college town (have friends who live there and witnessed the whole thing).
As for Lynchburg - well the name says it all, dontcha think?
Now that I'm on the west coast, I am way more concerned about the white supremacy/neo-nazi groups inland from CA all the way through WA. Armed to the teeth, religious nutbars, ex-military with lots of training. Recently ruled out a move north as a result. Plan to hop over OR and WA and look to settle in BC Canada.
@jeanne-mayell I will try to find it too . Here's more https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-3-2021
I looked it up, and apparently Lynchburg went for Mangolini in 2016 by over three thousand votes, but last year went for Biden 50% to 47%. Go figure. Misogyny in part, I'm sure.
The home of Liberty University-YUCK.
Yep, WV has come a long way. The wrong way. From pro-Union secession to pro-traitor obsession.
I think it was baba, on 9/23 (in the Random Predictions Thread):
This is what I got today during my meditation . . .
I heard “all fall down” and sensed that a group of very powerful men will have deeds from their past exposed and this causes them to fall into disgrace. Some of these men are those you would expect and others will surprise everyone.
@meliaamal Thank you for finding.. I was poring through the RTFN predictions and not finding what I was looking for!
Is anyone picking up anything on Trump lately? It seems that he is trying to do everything to get himself in the news right now (threaten DeSantis if DeSantis decides to run for president in 2024, filed a motion with the court to make Twitter re-open his account, saying he has done more for religion than anyone else, wanting a recount in TEXAS of all places, where he actually won, etc.)
Usually when Trump is doing this stupid stuff, he is doing it because he knows that there is going to be something bad about him (an indictment, subpoena, lawsuit, etc.) that is about to hit the airways. As always, he is trying to distract us by taking over the news first in hopes that we will somehow not pay attention to the story when it breaks.
Am I wrong on this?
Also, anyone have a reading on McConnell? It seems like the Republicans are desperate to force a default in this matter. The question is (1) will they actually do it and not pass the debt ceiling measure, and (2) will Republicans be blamed for holding the country hostage once again, as they have been the ones who have continuously threatened to bankrupt our country.
I am so afraid that people will buy into McConnell's argument that Democrats would be responsible because they can use reconciliation to pass the bill. Should Democrats stick it out and force Republicans to either blink or cause a default? Any insight?
