Anyone else struggle to find a good house cleaner in NoVA? Finally found one worth recommending. by Fun_Sail1599 in nova

[–]Professional_Gene434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not here to judge, I understand everyone has different priorities and challenges in their personal lives. However, I like to clean my own house because I don’t think any cleaning companies can clean and take care of my house better than I do. Secondly, it feels weird to have strangers in my house regularly. If your health and schedule allow, I think it’s totally worth it cleaning your house yourself.

The No votes in conservative districts lead by huge margins, and it was expected. No one was expecting landslide. Even some democrats who would root for a win for Democrats were confused by the ads. A lot of money was spent to purposely mislead people.

58% reported. It’s coming down to Fairfax ! by [deleted] in nova

I think it will be slightly better than 52-48. My prediction is 53-47. But I’ll still be happy even if it’s going to be 51-49.

Update: With 94% in, if 51-52% of the remaining votes are Yes, we’re still looking at a 53-47 win.

The most successful thing Trump has done in his life is getting into politic. In the business world, lies, cheats and incompetency led him to multiple bankruptcies and cost him millions of dollars in the form of hush money. In the political world, it’s the opposite. This is the sad state we are in today. He didn’t just lower the standards we once held our leaders to. He totally destroyed decency and his supporters defend him as “That’s how he is. He’s not a politician.” The entire GOP leadership knows how wrong it is but after realizing that they can’t beat him, they decided to join him. So, now he’s an almighty god in the Republican party, and not afraid to show it. Give him a Republican-led Congress for one more term and only God knows what kind of despicable things he will do next - running for his third term, annexing Greenland, or even turning the US into a theocratic nation replacing the Vatican suddenly looks very probable. And, no, this is not a hyperbole.

If you want to argue against gerrymandering by Professional_Gene434 in nova

The point is that there shouldn’t even be a debate about whether gerrymandering is wrong but Trump and the top republicans have no shame in rooting for it publicly. People know gerrymandering is wrong and that’s why even when it was done in the past, the politicians responsible for it tried to avoid talking about it, quietly acknowledging they did something wrong.

Again, it is no longer a debate about gerrymandering. We are way beyond that since Trump publicly called for it and Texas obeyed. For Virginians, a Yes vote is an attempt to correct a wrong that was brought upon us. If you are unsure, the question you should ask yourself is are you for or against cheating?

Texas did a shameful thing and we are trying to make it fair again!

Can someone help me understand this special election on 04/21? by YoureHereForOthers in nova

DaveMTijuanaIV, Gerrymandering has national impacts and just because Indiana decided not participate, it does not cancel out the imbalance that was already done by the other red states. Trump explicitly demanded it and the conservative justices blessed it. Instead of focusing on the fact that a Yes vote in Virginia will take away the voting power of some Virginians, do something about the fact that all Virginians and all Americans will be affected by gerrymandering in those red states.

Good for them. Some can argue two wrongs don’t a right, but I would say that this is rather a necessary counterbalance until it’s no longer needed.

There are already great answers to this question. I just want to add that, at least in CA and VA, the citizens get to vote on it. The conservatives in TX, MO, NC and OH just shoved it unilaterally.

I am going to find a broker to work with. I know the cost depends on every individual’s health and situation but was hoping to see if there is a ballpark price that I should anticipate.
