So we have the Governor dressing up in blackface or KKK garb, the Lt. Governor being accused of sexual assault and now the third in line, the AG, saying he also dressed in black face.  I suppose the 4th in line is the guy who delivers mail to the Governors mansion.  And what do all these gents have in common?  All Democrats. 

Now let me state from the outset that I could care less what is in the guy's yearbook from medical school.  And I am always skeptical of these long ago sexual assault claims.  And I could care less that some guy dressed up in black face.  But I am enjoying Democrats having to either be total hypocrites or having to eat their own.  Either way it's a win for the good guys.

It is absolutely wonderful to watch dimokraps devour each other.  It is very clear that the only electable dimokrap in the future will be a must be a female homosexual, brown or black, socialist or communist, under 40 years old, who has been sexually abused (preferably at the age of 40 or less).  Normal humans need not apply!!!!

You sound like an old white dude who is afraid of a lesbian.   I don't think any of them is advocating socialism...

No private property ownership, the state owns all property.

No private ownership of the means of production, the state owns the means of production.

you will want for nothing, except to work…”

each according to his ability, each according to his needs…”

A dictatorship of the Proletariat

You can argue progressive tax is socialism.  According to your definition, we are a socialist country with our progressive tax rate. You are covered under government insurance...you must be one of those old white socialists.

Goofy, most of what you believe are aspects of socialism are actually communism.  Your govt school education has once again failed you.  Communism is an extreme form of socialism and is more of a philosophy while socialism is more of an economic theory.  What they do have in common are three things.  One, they never work.  Two, they both result in equal misery.  Three, they always devolve into tryanny, dictatorship, economic collapse and death when taken to their extremes.

No private property ownership, the state owns all property.  Wrong - socialism advocates for collective ownership, commies want govt ownership.  Socialism calls for the distribution of profits equally and usually relies of overly progressive taxation to accomplish this goal.

No private ownership of the means of production, the state owns the means of production.  Wrong - socialism again calls for collective ownership.  The state may not own the means of production but under socialiam it merely controls it through govt regulation and intervention.

you will want for nothing, except to work…”  Wrong - socialism only provides for basic needs while communism makes the false claim that it will provide for all needs.  In communism you will definetely not be wanting for work, often in gulags and re-education camps.  But as for anything more than subsistence for those that are useful to the govt, the rest are starved or killed as the the central government plans fall short as they always do.  In socialist societies you can have your basic needs provided by the govt while you are sitting on your butt.  By far it's greatest attraction to the parasitic class.....you know the old saying, if you rob Peter to pay Paul you can always count on the support of Paul.  This is exactly what deToqueville warned about democratic or republican forms of govt, once people realize they can vote for access to the public treasury it will fall apart.  Or as Thatcher cleverly put it, the porblem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.  And finally, Bastiat stated that government is that fiction by which everyone lives at the expense of everyone else.

each according to his ability, each according to his needs…”  Wrong - socialism advocates from each according to his ability to each according to his contribution.  Yours is communism.

A dictatorship of the Proletariat.  Wrong - socialism can exist in any number of political systems, including democratic ones.

You can argue progressive tax is socialism.  According to your definition, we are a socialist country with our progressive tax rate. You are covered under government insurance...you must be one of those old white socialists.  Wrong - progressive taxation can exist in a capitalist economic system and democratic or replublic forms of political systems as we have seen in the U.S.  However, when taken to extremes it destroys economic growth and results in the equal misery described above.  And as we have seen over the last 50 years, when you have marginal tax rates at or above 70% the percentage of the overall tax burden carried by the ultra wealthy goes down.  That's because they know how to avoid paying that tax.  As Cuomo-tose recently said, high marginal tax rates results in the fleeing of the ultra wealthy and a loss of revenue to the treasury.

But otherwise......you got absolutely nothing right.

MM has very successfully nailed you to tha tree, but may I also add that your two favorite liberal idiots (most famous reps for the dimokrap/socialist party) use the term “socialism” with great regularity.....that would be “BERNIE” and “AOC”.  Own up...or bail out.

   Remember the Nazis were Socialist also.

    Communist governments always had their firing squads working over time when they took over. During the 20th Century they murdered more people than were killed in all the wars! When I told this to my Comrad Professor that he said yes but we just haven't got it right yet. (believe it or not) I asked how many millions they needed to kill to get it right? Look up democide.

   The only reason Russia managed to survive so long was they were blesses with so many naturel resources.

   Why do people who claim to be so intelectual advovate  apolicy that has failed every time it is tried? I have a problem with those claims.

It reminds me of a quote from the Bible:

                                                             Believing themselves to be wise

                                                                        they became fools.

 Only Democrats????

Another Virginia politician — state Sen. Tommy Norment, the Republican majority leader — was swept up in the growing blackface scandal Thursday after it was revealed that he was one of the editors of a 1968 Virginia Military Institute yearbook that featured racist language and students in blackface.

A Virginia Military Institute spokesman, Stewart D. MacInnis, confirmed to NBC News that Norment was managing editor of the 1968 yearbook.

There are multiple photos of students wearing blackface in the yearbook, which also contained the N-word.

Your liberal idiot post has been proven false for the Congressman, who was part of the yearbook staff, but had nothing to do with VA Gov page.  As usual, just more BS copied off liberal fake news.  Geez!!!

The next Governor may be the postman.  What we are seeing here is mass hysteria that will die down when we start to examine the media and their history with blackface....until then, the feeding frenzy continues.  This is the next installment of #metoo.
