Is this guy furreal? He says he's in the photo and apologies.. then says he isn't in the photo but he did darken his skin to look like Michael Jackson at one point..
Maybe that excuse would fly if you didn't initially look at the photo and basically say "yup, that's me. Woops."
Who is this guy trying to fool? My thoughts: He probably thought he'd be able to apologize and get on with his job.. but once he realized he'd have to resign due to pressure, he wants to backtrack and say he isn't in that photo (which I'm willing to bet he considered doing initially).

And his third trimester abortion thing is ridiculous and sickening. I'm pro-choice but only to a certain extent. Once you get to the point where you have a viable life inside of you, and it can survive with neonatal ICU support outside of the mother (which is becoming younger and younger) then it's too late to terminate your pregnancy. Nobody should be waiting more than 10-12wks maximum for an abortion. I understand accidents happen and a child would entirely ruin one's life & future. Waiting a few years to get a college diploma and a stable job, a stable companion then having a kid is better for the mother, child and family. But you don't get to be 32+ weeks and decide not to have it. That ship has sailed and I agree mostly with others at that point, it's basically murder. I think parents have the right & freedom to make that decision but once that fetus is viable from a clinical standpoint (as detailed above) then abortion should be off the table.. and then some. I think abortion should be restricted weeks before complete viability too.

I'm sure a big question people would have is "when does it start and stop being murder?" And to that I say ... The idea that any abortion at any age is murder, is reasonable and understood. That's a belief to respect. I encourage anyone with those beliefs to live by them. The idea that abortions before fetal viability would not be considered murder is also reasonable. I think parents have the freedom to believe the latter or the former, and they have a right over what they do and what their body is doing. I don't think people and parents have the right to impose their beliefs on other people in consideration of early term abortion. Mid/late term abortion is a different story to me, because now you can have a clinically viable infant.

In conclusion, Governor Northam is an idiot, his beliefs are jacked and he needs to resign.

In the governor's defense, he is a Democrat and they usually are let off the hook with an apology. Different standards and all.

Who do you think leaked it? Is Trump lazy, or is his admin trying to hide what he’s doing?

I’m being funny because you all about the leaks !

It was ignorant when people talked about how much Obama played golf or whatever and this is just as dumb. He’s obviously busy doing something you don’t like. Unless he’s getting Bill Clinton like executive treatment therapy under the desk or something. Funny you don’t se how much of a non story this is just like it was for Bush and Obama golfing.

Look at the schedules. Dude isn't even putting in an 8 hour day. Maybe I'm glad he isn't...

Bush and Obama were nowhere near this level of personal time and golfing.

It’s over the last three months since the midterms. I’m sure they waited until they had a good block to leak. To me “executive time” doesn’t mean not working. Presidents are president 24/7.

No bother explaining it. If it’s a bad look then your all over it. You’ve got time built in your schedule to look for pictures on the internet of trump kicking puppies and throwing eggs out of bald eagles nests whilst painted blackfaced. Looking at schedules and acting like he’s in there napping, watching I Love Lucy Reruns. Eating bugles. Getting back rubs from illegal immigrants from the Philippines. Hope George Soros is paying you well enough to get a new couch and tinfoil hat cause you are wearing yours out. Only thing dumber is me killing five minutes of my day posting about it.

He literally live tweets fox and friends. And the leaks come from within his staff.

Big news of the day is the SDNY is subpoenaing the records of the Trump inauguration committee. Is there anything he touches that isn’t suspect?

Posting Buzzfeed articles is akin to Info Wars. It's just a leftist version.

Ehh. Totally disagree. You have something to substantiate your claim with? Buzzfeed has a real news department that does real reporting. Well, I should say "had" considering they just laid off a big chunk of it. A comparison to Infowars is just outlandish. There's a number of top-notch reporters at Buzzfeed, and more than a few that they just laid off.

Largely agree. They do rush to publish, but they don’t randomly make stuff up.

Think they copied and pasted something looking into the Clinton Foundation...but there was nobody left alive to flip I guess. Maybe Trump runs a softer gentler corrupt organization.

Any way I have to go I’m on executive time.
