His suicide shocked his constituents, but his family asked that an autopsy not be performed before they passed in that tragic house fire.

Deja vu. Then what was this sneaky veto? https://www.newsobserver.com/news/state/north-carolina/article235010892.html
BubbaRunski
In this political climate, if you don't laugh, you'll cry.
Iseeyourpointandraiseyou
watch your back, Jeff. keep the curtains closed, and stick to the buddy system, bro. keep fighting the good fight, though.
dontrike
I'll never understand why they don't take the bribe, don't do what the briber asks, and just donate the bribe money.
Halohatch
No matter what they do with it, the moment they take the bribe they can be accused of bribery, and its harder for them to fight it.

reminds me of the recent updates i've been binge watching on snowden, dude's like these are hero's!s!

I just read about this guy... I love him. I want him to be president yesterday.
veronicablood

SpammersAreScum
I'm getting major deja vu. There was a recent budget veto override which succeeded because Reps lied and then voted in Dems absence.
SpammersAreScum
I thought it was NC. Not a normal voting day, maybe Labor Day, so Reps told Dems it wouldn't be voted on then did do so anyway.
SpammersAreScum
A few learned of it immediately and one was filmed excoriating them for the appalling and undemocratic act, while they tried to remove her.
CGWN
It was during a 9/11 memorial.

Oh fuck, something to be proud of NC about? As a teacher who left cause...well I like to get paid

Pork barrel money?
chunkblaster
...what? Anyone got context on this? Dafuq is "pork barrel" money?
AutistMasterbaiter
We’d appreciate it if you voted this way. No? I see you have a project you need/want funded, we’ll give you $$$ money if you’ll “compromise”
Quincy80
Pork barrel: the use of government funds for projects designed to please voters or legislators and win votes.
Quincy80
That's a little ambiguous, but it's essentially trying to buy votes in certain electoral districts.
HonestCommentFarmer
I'm not sure on its origins, but budgets that are bloated with earmarks & giveaways are said to be filled with pork. A kind of corruption.
Kopar
I don't care if he's Republican or Democrat. I don't want to know which. I don't care whose toes he's stomping on. He's absolutely right.
poopshartigan
Hm
channelranger
Well, I can tell you the guys he's talking *about* are republicans. They're basically delaying a vote until enough dems don't show up-
channelranger
so that they can win a vote they'd otherwise lose. Basically making a mockery of our already broken democracy.
Kopar
Well, I don't think all Republicans are like that, nor do I think there aren't Democrats who wouldn't do the same. With that said, shame on
Kopar
2) these Republicans, especially for laughing at it. Totally fucked up.
Kopar
3) Oh, and btw, if you're reading this and you think only Republicans or only Democrats are shady, you're part of the problem
Arcanum3000
Sounds like you're trying to avoid being confronted by the possibility that both sides are not, in fact, equally corrupt.
NotaCPA
EXACTLY. my gut says he's talking about republicans though. So do my hips, and my hips don't lie.
ButtblasterMcAssmaster
If you're unable to admit which of the two is the problem, you're part of it.
puffyjacket69
He's a democrat. Anyone noticing a pattern? Are republicans capable of simple pattern recognition?
VesselOfHate
BoTh SiDeS!

Is a he a justice Democrat?

When you are on the side that labels justice as a bad thing... IDK man. Maybe think about where your whole life went wrong?
froggy2therescue12
I actually support the movement. My parents however dont in the slightest.
puffyjacket69
Your mom is a justice democrat.

@JuicyMooseDance bro he brought our mom into this!

"heck", ah?
Crawmak
I know, right? He shouldn't swear
Ninjainslippers
He'll never become president with that kind of language. These days you need to drop F-bombs on twitter if you want to succeed.
HonestCommentFarmer
He's a state senator, so the chances at a presidential run right now are slim.
OatmealTheCat
Its weird thinking of a Carolina as having good politicians.
inchoroi
As someone who lives in North Carolina, I wish it weren't such a bizarre concept.
HonestCommentFarmer
NC's been corrupt for so long, my vote has boiled down to a simple question: "Are you an incumbant? Then get out."
confanity
He's a Democrat, so the weirdest part is that the state was sufficiently free of corruption for him to be elected at all.
Shoutrr
him being elected means nothing if he can't do anything after being elected, that's one way to fuck a democracy
confanity
I'm not ready to say it means nothing yet. Vote. Call your reps, organize your fiends, donate if you can, and vote.

As someone in SC... he’s a NC politician. We’re still number 1 for shitty politician.

As a fellow SCarolinian... I agree. I mean, how you gonna boot the governor for unethical behavior, fraud, etc. Then re-elect him to Senate

TristanVIII
Ra! Ra! Go Team Go! Seriously though, no one's buying this complete innocence BS. The left is corrupt, just in different ways.
HonestCommentFarmer
I can't remember a specific example, outside of Gerrymandering, but I do remember the sentiment when the GOP seized the state senate...
HonestCommentFarmer
We'd finally managed to get rid of those corrupt Democrats.
AnthropomorphisingEverything
Just so I'm clear, your argument is "I don't remember any details, but I'm pretty sure the Dems were just as bad." Is this accurate?
HonestCommentFarmer
More "I remember people fed up with the corruption from the Dems, so I doubt it's a partisan issue."
JohnnyUtahFBI

qazxswedcvfrtgbnhyujmkiol
Only to be replaced with Republicans at least as corrupt, if not worse. Excusing terrible behavior with the fact that others have done ¹
HonestCommentFarmer
Well, when your choice is the corruption you know and possible future corruption, you choose the possibility of no corruption.
qazxswedcvfrtgbnhyujmkiol
bad things in the past as well is not a good look for elected officials. It's childish, petty, and part of what's wrong with this country. ²

Depends what your budget is. You can get quite a good one if you can afford six figures or more.

Im sure there is, its iust they probably dont run for office
DevonGronka
McCain was part of a dying breed- sane republicans who understand that their political opponents still want what is best for people.

If they're in office, the only way to stay in office is to check your morality, ethics, and compassion at the door.

What about that guy with the eyepatch? He seemed nice. Dunno what he does, I'm pretty sure he's a veteran.

I thought Crenshaw did some crappy things, too. The clips I've seen of him he's been generally jackassy
QuasiIntellectualChimpanzee
Dan Crenshaw. Was a member/mod of a shady Facebook group. https://www.newsweek.com/republican-candidates-racist-far-right-facebook-1099744
QuasiIntellectualChimpanzee
By shady I mean racist and conspiratorial.
TheCatOwl
That's Dan Crenshaw, I think. Honestly from what I've seen he seems kinda chill, and better than most.
Keairan
He's voted in favor of some blatantly crappy stuff. He's just another party republican.

Not at all! Every single republican is evil man, it’s amazing. Their supporters too, just right down party lines
disneyplusandthrust
Surprising we haven’t just given government control to Democrats permanently. Idk what’s stopping us.
lilmookieesquire
You mean "Republican Lite"? btw I answered you post. :)
dnd3edm1
it might help if you weren't actively promoting immigration/gun policy that gets people killed with your vote. might be less evil

So easy to throw people in baskets. So easy! Usually the work of a simple mind......

It’s always gotta be a you vs us thing isn’t it? Is there anyone in America who can entertain a thought that isn’t their own?

oh and supporting tax cuts which will bankrupt the government just to pad some cayman accounts

Exactly man. Democrats = good Republicans = bad. It’s just that simple

It is an integrity issue, but it’s not corruption from what I can tell from the video. Just power politics (which is still wrong)
