For some reasons, the pinheads who run Roanoke (like the Mayor, Sherman Lea) insist on maintaining a “Sister city” relationship with some place called Pskov in Russia.  Mayor Lea says this relationship is “the way to understanding peace.”

Since to my regret I don’t have a teleporter to whisk Sherman directly into Mariupol this very afternoon, I’ve got to say maintaining any connection with Russia, no matter how dusted in the sort of bright, sparkly things that attract these people in Roanoke, is very stupid and wrong.  Gov. Youngkin says they need to cut that shit out, and I wholeheartedly agree.

To my embarrassment, Roanoke Virginia seems packed with those “useful idiots” you always hear about.

I live an hour away. Ive always thought roanoke was a run down shithole. Going to the civic center last month only confirmed my feelings. That said roanoke has been liberal for as long as i can remember.
Not surprising they want to keep with a russian city.

Pskov is the home of the 76th Guards Air Assault Division and probably has more new widows per capita than any city in Russia. So they got that going for them.

Shoulda stayed home in Pskov, but noooo, they had to fuck around and find out.

I used to live in Roanoke County. Even back then there was a very large and active socialist presence. I imagine it has gotten worse, not better.

Pskov VDV have been pretty conclusively linked to atrocities. Wonder if that'll change things.

They sure found a way to get rid of the gun shows at the civic center.

That's too bad. I used to enjoy working those shows back when Richard Davis ran them.
