This is one of those "I'm not saying a darned thing until it's confirmed" type of situations.

It's beyond confirmed now. Too bad Gillespie's people didn't find this, then we wouldn't have this pathetic disgrace as our governor.

It could be that someone found out this was the only copy in the state's public libraries and tampered with it. This is far from confirmed just yet.

This argument is as ridiculous as "but Moore was a Democrat when he molested kids". No. Just no.

Can we all agree now that Northam must go?

Ralph Northam shouldn't resign. That would validate all right-wing fake news sites on every matter to eternity. This is preposterous. They wouldn't resign if this was found.

Quote from: KoopaDaQuick on February 01, 2019, 04:34:56 PM
Because yeah, people got half a yearbook page dedicated to them, especially in the early 80's.

I'll take "Stuff That Totally Happened" for $400, Alex.

Other sources have found this page in the yearbook. Unfortunately it looks like this is real.

So if this is real, then pretty soon, people will say X fake news site reported this, so the next thing they report must be real too. If they had sources on one thing, then that validates everything they do! This is the world we live in.

I don't think that's how this works. The people who can't handle making informed judgements about what they see on the internet aren't going to have their opinions changed by something like this.

It probably would have destroyed his chances of winning the Democratic primary, but he still would have won the November election. The only scenario in which Northam loses the general election is one in which he praises Putin, Assad AND Kim Jong-Un, and even then he probably narrowly wins it.

Fairfax will be a good governor, also he'll be able to run again in 2021 if he wishes:

I've seen some confusion on this point, so I just want to confirm that yes, it looks like Fairfax should be able to run.

It's real.

Also, looks like the guy in the top left has a blackface photo as well. Delightful.

Congratulations Governor of Virginia Justin Fairfax.

I have since learned that this image comes from a what is basically a fake news outlet set up by Roy Moore. It's still possible that they just got lucky and were the first to find it, but I think it's a very real possibility that this is fake. I'm sure we'll find out soon.

I guess you win the prize for media literacy in this thread. Andrew Yang and SirWoodbury lose.
I'd like to take that prize if you wouldn't mind.

So can Fairfax run in 2021 if Northam resigns? If so, fantastic!
Yeah, good on them for bringing it up, but releasing this might end up as a little bit of an own-goal.

Don't worry.  He's being kept comfortable as a discussion ensues.
