looks like the virginia legistature which was red may have flipped to blue.
republicans lost 19 seats and dems gained 15 seats.
there are a number of districts that are undergoing recounts.
That's true of probably every state with a major city or cities in it. Rural areas are heavily Republican. Cities are heavily Democratic.DC is a little different than other major cities. It’s the Federal Government. The 6 counties that surround DC are now the wealthiest area in the country. It surpassed Silicon Valley a few years ago. Nothing of significance is manufactured there. It’s all about making money off the government. Most major cities are Democratic, but not the counties surrounding them. Except the big 3, NYC, LA and Chicago. Those are blue states. People in Northern Virginia don’t want the status quo messed with. That’s why Clinton and Obama won the state. Trump didn’t win Virginia, the incumbent Governor was a Democrat. Trump didn’t lose anything here. The Dems just held their serve.
I don't think anyone had a problem with "draining the swamp". What people did not want is the replacements coming from a different swamp, which is what happened. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

Yet people in Virginia trust his judgment and voted him to public office, to make sound decisions on their behalf. That's not a conspiracy is it? No it's the absolute truth, something liberals are deathly afraid of.I'm sure Danica Roem does not want you feeling sad for her. I'm not sure what you believe liberals are deathly afraid of. I fully support the LGBT community, unlike most conservatives. I'm sure SHE will perform admirably in HER new job. It's easy being a heterosexual person in today's world. Not so easy being a lesbian, gay, or transgender person.

I did not know about the "Q" but it is to me rather redundant. Since Q can simply refer to a gay/lesbian person, yes, I know several.
"Q can mean either 'questioning' or 'queer,' Fred Sainz, a spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign, an organization that lobbies for LGBT rights, told USA TODAY Network. Either interpretation is accepted, he said." Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

Thanks speedy, that clarifies things for me (cough, cough). Who is in charge of deciding whether to add another acronym/category to the organization name?Yep, we have a variety of gender choices. What's next? Hey how about those who feel they belong to a different species.

The bottom line is you can't change your genetics. Drugs and surgery do wonders for people for a lot of different things including altering a persons exterior gender, but the original biochemical makeup of a person can't be changed. Do I hate these people, no. I am just being realistic. This guy sees himself as a women. I simply don't the similarity.You just answered the question. No a person cannot change their genetics. So if a person is born with the natural instinct to be or pursue a certain gender, how are they to change? I have asked before if a person is of one DNA and another external genitals, how do you determine "what they are? Or what if they are born with both as in the case of a Chimera?
