Are we just gonna let it slide that North Carolina’s Lieutenant Gov said he needs an AR-15 in case he wants to violently overthrow the govt?

Violent threats of insurrection from a leading state official are just OK now?

When they tell us they’re a bloody terrorist, BELIEVE THEM

We shouldn't have to file a complaint with law enforcement when somebody says this crap on national TV. The days of assuming people don't really mean what they say are over. Haul his ass in for questioning.

Redrawing the state's congressional districts could produce a map more likely to elect Republicans compared to the current map which is expected to elect 7 Republicans and 6 Democrats. One district is a toss-up.#ncpol #ncga #gerrymanderinghttps://t.co/uIkMCsK6Qd

They never learn. Go ahead Timmy, we'll see you in court.

How's the Democrats' energy policies working out, NC?

Maybe @RoyCooperNC can put a windmill on the roof of your car to help you get to work?

Or perhaps @CheriBeasleyNC can cheer your financial hardship as a contribution to emissions reduction? #ncpolhttps://t.co/3gse6nnJOv

And again, it's the fossil fuel industry (which Republicans love) that is doing this, not Biden or Cooper. Hong Kong $10.97 a gallon. Denmark $9.32 per gallon. Greece $8.70 per gallon. Singapore $8.39 per gallon. I could go on, but you get the picture. It's global, FFS.

Republican politicians feel a special kinship with the Uvalde police because they are both standing aside and refusing to do their job to protect the citizens they are responsible for while we are slaughtered by legally obtained assault weapons.

I detect no faulty logic or hyperbole with this, it's right on the money.

[thread] Even as #NorthCarolina booms with new jobs, development, and a growing population, millions of North Carolinians are unable to pay for their basic needs.

We have a long way to go, for sure.

Facts: It was not an active shooter; It was an accidental discharge. Weapons are not allowed to be carried on hospital grounds but the perpetrator did anyway.

FACTS: This jackass shot his own sister in the leg and ran away, caring more about getting busted for illegally concealing a handgun (not to mention on hospital property), than the health and welfare of his own sibling. Evil or stupid, there's not much difference.

“I was especially moved by the volume of soldiers who served our country honorably and came back with invisible wounds, and we heard about how this saved people’s lives recovering from PTSD,” Sen. Wiley Nickel said.https://t.co/wqNi3ss7ZQ#nc13 #ncpol #LegalizeIt

We really (really) need this now, veteran suicides are still at 20 per day. Every day. Spark it up.

On that hopeful note, here's your Onion:

Just get close enough. If he punches you in the nose, then yes, he's having a good time.
