I guess it's time to re-write that Statue of Liberty phrase...

North Carolina finished third in a study by the Tax Foundation examining how well states have structured their corporate income tax systems in 2020. #NCPol #ncga https://t.co/lJPjJx3GXF

Guess what? A top 3 ranking on corporate tax cuts combined with a bottom 10 ranking on education spending signals an extremely irresponsible set of priorities. It's time to Flip NC.

Tackling big public health problems requires big investments. We are proud to announce our plans for a new manufacturing facility that will help meet the need for our life-changing medicines and bring over 400 new jobs to North Carolina. #WeAreLilly

Very impressive. Except for the fact there's only one (human) worker on that production floor. If you're trying to gain my support, it ain't working...

Today would be a great day for Superintendent @MarkRJohnsonNC to release public records which would clarify whether unethical and possibly criminal electronic eavesdropping on a DPI retiree occurred last year. #nced #ncpol @GrahamHWilson @VoteMarkJohnson https://t.co/O4z2fCkJHL

Tell you what, go to one of his regular (white) rallies without wearing your MAGA hats or t-shirts, and see what happens. You'll be shown to the blexit door before you can blink twice.

What do you expect? Meadows isn't backing him, so...

One thing I'll say about School Choice Week: The sheer creativity of their bullshit is amazing.

WE. DON'T. CARE. ABOUT. YOUR. FUCKING. SOCKS.@SenatorBurr either votes to have Bolton testify or he's part of a cover-up

I endorse this message. The "no socks" thing is nothing more than a distraction. It's the "no integrity" thing we should be talking about.

Here in NC, we have a politician who keeps breaking the law while railing against “the deep state,” enabled by Republican legislators who have completely abandoned their oversight responsibilities. #ncpol #nced https://t.co/gex5UTyUey

And he's running for Lt. Governor, another job he's not qualified to do.

And yet, she still supports Donald Trump as if he was the Second Coming. How are we supposed to reason with people like this? The truth is, we can't. All we can do is show the voters how deranged they are, and hope a majority of those voters are not also afflicted.

Thank you to other GOP candidates who have finally joined me in standing up against Sanctuary Sheriffs.

Could not even win the Republican Primary for Charlotte Mayor, got appointed to the General Assembly and then won *one* election before getting spanked by a Democrat (Wesley Harris) in 2018, and now he's running against eight other R's for Lt. Governor. Dude, you don't even have the support of your neighbors, what makes you think you can win a state-wide race? Going after sheriffs is pretty much all you've got, but guess what? They won their elections.

Shut the fuck up, Mark. You're out of your element. And you'll be out of a job, soon. Do you honestly think Trump is going to pay your bills after he's booted out of the White House (now or later), and he has to go back to conning bankers and investors to help him build tasteless hotels? Nope, when that happens he will blame everybody else but himself, including his brown-nosing North Carolina boy.

On that nauseating note, here's your Onion:
