Wow. Being compared to Zimmerman. But he asked for it.

And they gave Liam aka Zimmerman a spotlight on ABC, with Robin Roberts as interviewer.
I saw it on the NBC Nightly News last night. Giving this clown a national platform is unconscionable.

Virginia regulators approve permit for pipeline compressor station
By Gregory S. Schneider
RICHMOND — Virginia regulators on Tuesday approved a permit for a natural gas compressor station in the historic African American community of Union Hill in Buckingham County, angering opponents who vowed to keep fighting in protests and in court.
The state Air Pollution Control Board voted 4 to 0 on the basis of recommendation from staff of the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and under heavy pressure from Dominion Energy, whose executives occupied two reserved rows at the front of the meeting room.
Dominion, Virginia’s most powerful utility, is leading a consortium of companies in building the $7 billion Atlantic Coast natural gas pipeline, which needs the compressor station to keep the gas flowing across the state.
After the vote, hundreds of protesters who had packed the meeting erupted in angry chants of “Shame! Shame! Shame!” as board members filed out a side door.
“The world is dying because of decisions of people like you!” one man screamed.
Others sang the civil rights anthem “We Shall Not Be Moved.”
We’re supposed to get an ‘ice storm’ this evening.
So, I have a question..
Do you put out the salt that you would use with snow..
BEFORE the storm or AFTER?
I don’t know about up there, but I do know when we are gonna have ice here, the county send trucks out to pour salt on the bridges before the ice forms.
The plan to keep Trump’s taxes hidden
The Trump administration wants to drag an expected Democratic request for the president’s tax returns into a quagmire of arcane legal arguments.
By NANCY COOK 02/05/2019 05:02 AM EST Updated 02/05/2019 12:56 PM EST
The new House Democratic majority is widely expected to test one of Donald Trump’s ultimate red lines by demanding the president’s personal tax returns — and the Trump administration has been gearing up for months to fight back hard.
Trump’s Treasury Department is readying plans to drag the expected Democratic request for Trump’s past tax filings, which he has closely guarded, into a quagmire of arcane legal arguments.
At the same time, officials intend to publicly cast the request as a nakedly partisan exercise. The two-pronged scheme was developed by a handful of top political appointees and lawyers inside the department — with the ultimate goal of keeping the president’s past returns private, according to four people familiar with the administration’s approach.
The strategy will hinge on an argument that politically motivated Democrats will inevitably leak Trump’s tax information — a felony in and of itself — if the IRS hands over the documents. So because Democrats can’t be trusted to keep the documents private, they shouldn’t get them in the first place, officials will insist. Treasury officials have been waiting since early January for a top Democrat to make the request.

Kamala Harris, Truancy and the Fauxgressive Left’s Desperate Attempt to Criminalize School Attendance
Midday music break, some country blues here. If you’ve seen the movie Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri then you’ve heard this song by Townes Van Zandt. But unless you’re from Texas, there’s a good chance you’ve never heard of him. Interesting man, great songwriter, he can rip your heart out. Don’t know where that comes from other than he had a horrific addiction to alcohol and heroin, and the addiction ultimately prevailed.

Your ancestors didn’t discover shit. They invaded native land and committed monumental atrocities tho. They killed the indigenous people for their land & then went to Africa to kidnap Black people to enslave them because they wanted wealth but were too m-fing lazy to work for it themselves.

From a local Black Virginian about the Fairfax situation:
and a good response:
More:
Town Miranda • 17 minutes ago
LeVar Stoney (mayor of Richmond) wants to run for Governor in 2021. Fairfax being able to run for Gov in 2021 gets in his way…he wants to be the chosen Negro. Stoney’s assistant’s wife is the one who shared that text message with that rightwing website, but Northam gets the blame*.
Fairfax found out Stoney was behind it and spilled the tea.
The tea I want to drink is why did Stoney and his white wife divorce? Did he kick his white wife to the curb because he knew having a white wife in Richmond would not get him votes (although a white man with a black child bride got very close)? They were college sweethearts, too.
RVA Dirt is down with Stoney as well but I can’t tell if they were in on it or if they were useful tools.
Town Sepia • 29 minutes ago
RVA Dirt is a Twitter account that reports on various government activities in the City of Richmond. They’re always live tweeting City Council meetings, protests around the city, etc. It’s 3 women that run the account: 2 white, 1 black and they’re all millennials.
This Scharf woman is part of the woke millennial crowd and her husband is Stoney’s aide.
RVA Dirt started reporting (before any of the mainstream media picked up on it) about Justin Fairfax having a MeToo moment. They retweeted Collective PAC’s tweet about Ms. MeToo coming forth & Collective PAC is the one who said Northam was behind this.
Collective PAC raises money for young black millennial politicians and one of their beneficiaries is Fairfax.
Later on, Ms. MeToo pops up on RVA Dirt’s Facebook page to say the text message sent to Adria Scharf was indeed from her and Adria had her permission to spread it around.
Somebody started attacking RVA Dirt’s FB page about their post on Fairfax/Accuser; RVA Dirt said they think it’s people connected to Fairfax but later they admitted they know who is attacking their page.
Adria Scharf has come out to say SHE would NEVER share something like that with the rightwing website. No, but I’m 99% sure your husband did (smile).

Clearly what Sanders LACKS….
In addition to being intelligent and skilled, describes Stacey Abrams to a tee.
Mettlesome: adjective MET-ul-sum
Definition: full of vigor and stamina : spirited
Bernie is a meddlesome mthfkr that I wish would sit his @ss down somewhere. I didn’t vote for him in the 2016 Dem Primary in GA, and I won’t be voting for him in the 2020 primary. He can’t pee on my leg, tell me it’s raining, and have me believe it. When it comes to getting my vote for POTUS in any presidential election year, he’s, metaphorically speaking, dead meat to me. Roadkill, to be exact.
And, you’re right, Ametia! He definitely is not mettlesome!
Thank you, Mr. Blow, for nailing it. Again.
