apparently you have a lot more in common with trump than you thought


Donald J. Trump Verified account @realDonaldTrump

Ed Gillespie, who ran for Governor of the Great State of Virginia against Ralph Northam, must now be thinking Malpractice and Dereliction of Duty with regard to his Opposition Research Staff. If they find that terrible picture before the election, he wins by 20 points!

He was trying to dress up as Kurtis Blow

I will say when I read this …his street cred went up a notch for good musical taste for a white kid in 1980 Virginia

When I read he dressed up as a rapper in 1980 I was intrigued as there weren’t that many in the public eye….but kurtis Blow makes sense

I think we need to modify the lyrics

To the girl in brown, stop messing around
(Break it up, break it up)
To the guy in blueBlackface, whatcha gonna do how do you save face?

And these are the breaks
Break it up, break it up, break it up!
Break down! Yo!

You say last week you met voted for the perfect guy
(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)
And he promised you the stars in the sky to not lie
He said his Cadilac history was gold good
But he didn't say it was ten years old his 80s yearbook he wore a hood
And he told you the story of his life
But he forgot the part about his wife racist past!

Huh! Huh!
Well, these are the breaks!
Break it up, break it up, break it up!
Break down!

I don’t know if to laugh or cry but I do love that song

PledgeMusic

They owe several artists thousands in collected funds, for completed projects.  Which blows for the artists involved..

Stealing from Twitter, they were better in taking in money than giving it out.

My experience with PledgeMusic is the past was positive,  got a couple items that weren’t released in the states.

On a similar note: Patreon CEO says the company's generous business model is not sustainable as it sees rapid growth

Also, Patreon CEO = ½ Pomplamoose

Grape or fruit?

I thought that was an insult… until I found out it was a band
I know I wouldn't want to be called even 1/4 of a Pomplamoose

Not even if you were the drummer?

I didn't think it could get worse in Virginia

Second accusation and the left-handed defense
But I am happy to hear that northam is reported to be reading Roots

The conservatives are absolutely loving every minute of it….
@bensharpiro
God gave us VA Democrats because he loves us and he wants us to be happy

Ben Shapiro is garbage



What is the left handed defense?

trust me I know….but just an example of them getting a boner over this

What is the left handed defense?

Northam insists he's not in racist photo because he's left-handed while men in photo are right-handed

Oh boy…that is some pretty weak sauce

Yeah hard to hold your head high as a VA Democrat
I really thought both of them had bright futures and we really trying hard to deliver on their promises to the voters who put them in there

I was excited about northam plan to make 2 year college free for VA residents…no way that's happening now

The one thing you can say…the voters had no idea this was in Notham's past (Fairfax…it was out there, but who really pays attention to the Lt gov race)

the right is determined to paint Democrats as knowing this information I still voting for him


I can guarantee you they're looking at Don byers and any other Virginia Democrat' old yearbooks and photos they can find from the 60s, 70s and 80s….mining for racist gold

This is very interesting…

The Washington Post-Schar School poll found 47 percent (of Virginians) wanting the Democrat to step down and 47 percent saying he should stay on after the emergence of a racist photo on his yearbook page. He counts higher support among African American residents — who say he should remain in office by a margin of 58 percent to 37 percent — than among whites.

Lindsey Buckingham's voice?

He was spared, at least.
