The party of dirty tricks is at it again:
#SB359 - NC's #BornAliveBill - was withdrawn tonight in the #NCGA, originally up for vote by the #NCHouse to override the Governor's veto. Vote looks likely to be rescheduled (again) on Weds. Stay vigilant, y'all. #ncpol #ncgov #reproductivejustice

Every single Republican was present, so the only reason to postpone the vote is to wait until more Democratic absences. Inexcusable abuse of both the system and the participants.
Happy #NC Independence day North Carolina!#NCpol #NCnews #NCga #NChistory #NCgov #NCheros #History https://t.co/uWrN8ps1ru

Don't you mean happy "Treason" day? Or maybe happy "We're going to get our asses kicked for four years before surrendering" day? One of those two things.
There's a Right Dan and a Wrong Dan in #NC09. Wrong Dan will fall right in line with his friends in Washington - the socialists and the radicals. And he won't stand up for you. #ncpol https://t.co/1nQ9wwlQ5c

Geremy begs to differ:
Wrong Dan loves gerrymandering, and led an effort to redraw several African-American judges out of their seats. #ncpol

Wrong Dan never served in the military, but loves to call reporters "jihad media" and LGBT protesters the "Taliban." #ncpol

Wrong Dan is more concerned about protecting bathrooms than he is our environment, scoring a big fat 0 (Zero) lifetime rating by NC LCV. #ncpol

And last but not least, Wrong Dan blindly supports a President who has lied to the American people over 10,000 times. #ncpol

I endorse all those messages...

The short answer is, "No." That's also the long answer...
Here's a little Facebook to break up the Twitter monotony:
Also, if that Born Alive bill is as "inconsequential" as Colin says it is, that makes Don Davis' vote to override even worse.

Uh, no. Won't be doing that. If I wanted to torture myself, I'd (try to) read Ayn Rand again. I mean, forget about the whole Libertarian thing for a minute, the writing is just bad. Baaad.

A wise man once said, "Just because a person is gay, it doesn't mean they're not an asshole." Don't Google it, I'm the wise man who just said that.
Conservatives think the best way to make NC a more attractive place to live & work is to restrain government so that it delivers basic services more cost-effectively, allowing households to keep more of their own money & freedom to use as they wish. https://t.co/fdY1XP0Jvs #ncpol

Dude, *you* don't even believe that, and the rank and file Republicans? They just want a government so small they could drown it in a thimble.
Today we go trial in Asheville, NC to defend the 1st amendment. MAKE NO MISTAKE. This has nothing to do with our news-gathering tactics. They would never go after @nytimes or @CBSNews like this. But video is real, irrefutable, and undeniably clear - that's why we use it. (1/4)

I hope they squeeze every last dime out of you, jerk. Your immoral actions put an elderly, disabled woman's life at risk, and no amount of whining will make that go away.
@realDonaldTrump is the worst president and leader I have ever witnessed in my lifetime. The corruption and erosion of the separation of powers makes my skin crawl. He and his followers have no class and truly are deplorable humans. #TrumpCrimeFamily #NCPol

After following this crook's business practices for years, it wouldn't surprise me to find out every building he's got is leveraged by two of his other buildings, with the whole thing perched on the edge of collapse.
Let me tell you this. Neither you nor I have a uterus or a medical degree nor even a degree in ethics. So let's leave such discussions to those who do, rather than trying to prove your status as the Democrat who agrees with Berger and gets attention for it. OK? #ncpol https://t.co/Zb0jLHNOBN

Not ashamed to admit, I couldn't have said it better myself. And another of the many lessons Joel Ford will probably not learn: Don't screw around with John Burns. You'll lose every single time.

That's pretty much all he is, and all he's ever been: A guy who might beat Roy Cooper. What are his policy positions? To hell with public schools? Tell women to put a bible between their knees? Give gay people a one-way ticket to New South Wales? To be the most photographed politician in NC history? The NC GOP has literally scraped a hole in the bottom of the barrel with this guy, and the only photograph I want to see of him is on the side of a milk carton. Which they don't do anymore, but they should bring it back for Lost Dan.
On that dry-retching note, here's your Onion:

I wouldn't put it past him. He really hates Iran, for some reason. Maybe he tripped on a Persian rug one time, and broke his favorite Yale coffee mug? Probably something like that.

Definitely not a good time.
