For those that arnt familiar with local Virginia politics, Portsmouth was created by democrats when they jerrymandered the black neighborhoods out of the city of Norfolk.

It's a democrat created shit hole

Just another one of their lies. They recently gerrymandered PA's congressional districts in favor of dems so now I live across the street from a corn field but have a dem rep cause my district includes huge swaths of dem shit holes 50 miles away. Pisses me off so much cause I moved out here to get away from dems and two years later they gerrymandered it. Fuck Conor Lamb.

I remember in school when I saw a district that literally looked like an audio headset; two rectangles with a tiny crescent sliver connecting them. That's when you know that this government is cucked beyond belief.

Hey (former) neighbor! Ex-Mt. Lebanonian checking in. Next move skededdle up here to gods country, Tioga County or the like, and never have to deal with Pittsburgh shitholes again. Good people up here, and beautiful landscapes. I think GEOTUS took the county by like 40 points.

Yeah I was in Dormont. In Beaver County now. I used to go up to Potter Co when I was a kid. Loved it up there. If I had a work from home job I'd be in the middle of nowhere like Tioga or Potter, but I have another 20 years of commuting to Pittsburgh.

We did it way better than them which is why they bitched.

Irony is that (some) gerrymandering is out of an attempt to be fair

You see, Democrats are all concentrated in cities, so almost any normal-looking map will favor Republicans. You have to gerrymander to split up the concentrated areas with Democrats to divide us.

You know how I know this? Because I read some studies... by leftists. Yeah, they did cover it in the media, but only at the level of "researchers find fair splits" or something like that.

Dude, the mental gymnastics I'm reading about this shit is nuts. Point blankly stating that the investigation shouldn't occur because of possible conflicts of interests from multiple departments. Just starlight up cronyism. Yeah, some government officials may have committed some felonies, but we have to look the other way because it may make us all look bad. FUCK THESE CUNTS.

I have lived with a person with borderline personality disorder. These people distinctly remind me of that experience. They have a warped reality they cannot give up no matter what. So they can twist anything in anyway just to fit their narrative. The scary part is that they believe all the crap they spout.

I saw some movement behind the plant - I thought it was just the boss' kid back there messing around or something. Then I realized it was a grown man.

Goodness, Portsmouth is SUCH a shithole.

I hope this little chapter screws up the mayoral office, but it's hard to believe that place could ever come out of the political swamp.

Born and raised in Portsmouth - it is, indeed, a shithole! Only good part about it is the children's museum and the Coast Guard base (which brought my family to Portsmouth to begin with). No one in my family still lives there.

Remember in Saving Private Ryan when the Germans are on fire and jumping out of the bunker and the American yells "DONT SHOOT LET 'EM BURN"

That's how I feel about Portsmouth, let it burn
