So what are Virginia Democrats' options? Can they force him out? Recall him?

Impeachment. No recalls in VA.

I mean, it's one banana Michael, what could it cost? 10 dollars?

Do they have the majorities to do it party line? Or does the state GOP just kinda go along vote him out with the Dems even though the Lt. Gov is far more progressive? Is that who would still take his place in the case of an impeachment? Forgive my ignorance.

This guy is trash, way to throw away your easy out and do some good for the party at the same time.

We are down in the minority in both chambers by 1 seat. The Lt Gov takes his place in resignation and impeachment

Odds are he will resign because there is no way this is going away. But in the event of impeachment it.f shouldnt bd hard to poach R votes because he is a "baby killer"

Any more info on this? Because seeing CNN pull a Fox News with the party changing on the cyron to align with his views is pretty hilarious.

I mean, it's disingenous as heck. But just lol if you look at Steve King, Kavanaugh, Trump, that one pedophile the GOP moved heaven and earth to try and defend, etc, etc, and think they aren't the party of full balls to the walls naked corruption, grift, and blatant racism at this point in time.

Ok, since we're doing this, at what point do you not vote blue no matter who? The line is clearly drawn way past Manchin (R-Coal), so exactly what is an acceptable reason to say "you know what, gently caress the party that thought nominating this shithead was a good idea."?

I'm not looking forward one or more of D-Cop, D-Wallstreet, D-Boeing and D-Phizer being the top of the 2020 ticket.

Dude you came out and said the pic was real, you said it was you and that it "isn't the person I am today", It's a little late to backtrack at this point! Either it's not you and when the report comes out you go "gently caress no that's not me" or you cop to it and resign. Can't half measure this poo poo.

Even if it isn't him, it's too late for take backsies and no one is ever going to believe him

From what I remember, a plague mosquito bites one of the Smurfs and he contracts a sickness that turns him into a vicious zombie that bites other Smurfs and makes them zombies too. The uncontaminated Smurfs are slowly whittled down until just Papa Smurf is left.

I’m serious.

In the cartoons, the zombies are purple and not black.

so if he does refuse to resign. what exactly do you impeach him FOR. for reference this is what the law says:

quote:

offending against the Commonwealth by malfeasance in office, corruption, neglect of duty, or other high crime or misdemeanor

bad as it is an old racist photo doesn't really meet any of those...its not a crime to wear racism costumes, maybe it should be. I guess it has to be a more abstract argument about him being unfit for office morally and thus neglectful of his duty or something like that.
