I'm amazed that GOP statement is realHer FB reactions to it:
9/14/2016 1:40:00 PM
"Are we still talking about this??"
9/14/2016 1:42:56 PM
I just saw it
9/14/2016 2:18:11 PM
Best part of Kami's response is the foot in mouth action right now considering the UNC rape accusations just thrown into the mix. I'm appalled really but you can't make this shit up!
9/14/2016 2:19:45 PM
what a joke. Literally NC GOP and Pat are the worst leadership I have ever seen in my life. What a disaster for NC.
9/14/2016 2:49:18 PM
NC GOP is truly the party of the dumb.

I know the state GOP doesn't get much love on this site (mostly deservedly), but North Carolina’s business tax climate has improved to 11th best in the nation, according to new rankings released this week by the nonpartisan Tax Foundation.http://taxfoundation.org/article/2017-state-business-tax-climate-index
9/29/2016 2:46:12 PM
I think (correct me if I'm wrong) the tax foundation has been pretty closely associated with ALEC for the past decade or so. And ALEC legislators wrote the new tax laws. So I'm not really surprised they would be cheerleading the reaulta

Trevor Noah just did an HB2 bit. I'll post the video if it's available tomorrow.

Can we all agree that Deborah Ross looks weird AF?[Edited on September 30, 2016 at 2:06 AM. Reason : Shes a Democrat but not sure where to query this.]
9/30/2016 2:05:38 AM
......I'd hit it(Especially if she becomes a senator!!!!)
9/30/2016 6:34:24 AM
I think Ross looks pretty good, she just moves her mouth in a weird way when she talks (she looks like she is trying to perfectly articulate everything, but it ends up looking weird)

they dropped a press release today gloating about the effectiveness of their voter suppression[Edited on November 7, 2016 at 2:45 PM. Reason : .]

Because even if its equal opportunity, if there is disparate outcome that is bad for the DNC... must be racist!You can't expect black people to get identification! #RacismOfLowExpectationsOr could it just be that nobody is actually enthusiastic about a corrupt establishment puppet, no matter how much race-baiting and pandering she does?
11/7/2016 11:24:23 PM
dumb decision anyway. why fire up people to go vote on election day? now they are going to get steamrolled. idiots.

CBC (Wral) had a pretty good editorial today regarding the disparate impact the rural legislators have on state policy given the relative little impact they have on state GDP and valuation. They have basically completely consolidated power with little to no opposition possible to change it.Someone can post a link..[Edited on November 23, 2016 at 9:57 AM. Reason : basically only courts can change it at this point]

http://www.wral.com/federal-court-orders-new-nc-legislative-elections-in-2017/16289906/RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina lawmakers must redraw their legislative districts by March 15 and hold new elections by the end of next year, a federal court ruled Tuesday.That order follows up on a ruling from this summer that found lawmakers had unconstitutionally relied on race when they drew 28 state House and Senate districts.Although lawmakers had told the court they should be given more time to redraw their districts and should not have to hold elections until 2018, the three-judge panel disagreed."This gives the State a total of seven months from the time the districts were held to be unconstitutional, which is longer than it took the 2011 legislature to redistrict the entire state," read the order, which was drafted by a three-judge federal district court panel.

voter fraud never ever happens
12/13/2016 11:40:20 AM
none of that is individual voter fraud
12/13/2016 11:51:43 AM
Looks like another late-night session with an undisclosed agenda is in the works.
12/14/2016 4:16:53 PM
^^^ If anything that's election fraud, not voter fraud. Requiring ID wouldn't have done anything.
12/14/2016 6:19:31 PM
^^I keep telling myself: surely they don't have the bawls to pull something in this situation.Then the past ~6 years flash before my eyes and I wake the fuck up.

Jeff Jackson Facebook reporting a "flurry" of legislation being filed right up on the deadline. Some over 40 pages. His screenshot of the NCGA interface just shows a few adjournment bills (I think just parliamentary bills?) and the NCGOP patented Regulatory Reform Act of [insert every long session year the GOP has been in control].So I guess we'll see if they let people read these before voting or not.[Edited on December 14, 2016 at 7:38 PM. Reason : Also a bill to terminate the I77 toll contract! Can't hate on that]
12/14/2016 7:23:01 PM
absolutely disgusting
12/14/2016 9:03:50 PM
Please let the 77 tolls go away
12/14/2016 10:06:09 PM
Doing their damnedest to strip Cooper of as much power a possible. Dozens of bills prepared and ready to go.
12/15/2016 7:40:25 AM
So the way it's structure the educated folks in the urban areas basically get shit on by the yokels correct? Vastly unfair influence exerted by the more rural counties in this state?
12/15/2016 7:41:56 AM
^we'll see what happens after they come up with the non-racist gerrymanders. It should help urban areas I imagine.This sucks, and like I said earlier I didn't think they had the bawls, but I was wrong. That being said......It could have been worse?????(based on some of the court packing rumors we heard, etc). They are still stretching for mustache twirling Villian status as hard as they can.[Edited on December 15, 2016 at 8:02 AM. Reason : Democracy should not have moving goalposts][Edited on December 15, 2016 at 8:11 AM. Reason : Worst part is giving more power to Lt Gov Forest - that guy is a shitty human being]
12/15/2016 7:58:45 AM
anyone protesting today?
12/15/2016 1:11:36 PM
What would happen if the legislature refused to redraw districts next year?
12/15/2016 1:40:02 PM
Hopefully all of these bills will be thrown out by the NC Supreme Court
12/15/2016 3:02:21 PM
Are you referring to the Disaster Recovery Act, which passed with a 115-0 vote?
12/15/2016 3:40:22 PM
he is pretty obviously referring to the bills from the illegal session

If anyone was arrested at the protest yesterday, hit up my buddy, http://spraguelawnc.com/He is waiving his fee to represent protestors.
12/16/2016 8:36:20 AM
Why not do what they are doing? They could do anything and not lose power.Cooper is going to get literally nothing he wants to done. Part of me wishes McCrory won and made life for the rural idiots even shittier so maybe they'd come to their senses. But Jesus of course so they won't.
12/16/2016 9:42:40 AM
this is going to blow up in their faces by either the courts striking it down or enough of them being voted out during next year's election cycleI'm hoping that there are enough decent people out there who are appalled by this and will be inspired to vote
12/16/2016 10:31:47 AM
