I make him so angry. LOL

If the political spectrum runs from 1 being far left with 10 being far right, the dude is trying to define moderate as ONLY those from 4.9-5.1. LOL

He's pathetic

This is kind of awesome. Trump is teaching Republicans how to fight.




I have gotten so tired of conservatives (GOP) constantly bending the knee and offering the other cheek and following the Marquis de Queensbury rules when the DEMOCRATs constantly sneak up on them and beat them with brass-knuckles in the back of the head.

Even Reagan tried to 'keep above the fray" while the DEMOCRATs were burning their houses, raping their children, and robbing their assets. Nose held high, they would treat every 'compromise' as if it were the last thing needed to satisfy the DEMOCRATs.

The ONLY thing that will satisfy the DEMOCRATs is total unconditional surrender and submission to the boot on the neck.

To override the governor's veto, the Republicans needed to secure a three-fifths majority vote among those present. Local news outlets reported that Republicans in the state had been trying for months to override Cooper's veto and seized an opportunity on a morning typically set aside to honor the 2,977 people killed in the 9/11 attacks 18 years ago.


Hmmmm.....

quote:

It remains unclear where Democrats were during the vote and how many were attending commemoration ceremonies in districts around the state; The News & Observer reported that only one Democrat did so. Cooper also said he was at a memorial event but didn't know whether other members were present.


Lol, sounds like the Dems were being no-shows on purpose. Not attending 9/11 ceremonies as the title would lead you to believe.

You think a Mormon, co-founder of Bain Capital corporate raider, who said that the defense budget should be exempt from any effort to balance the budget, and in his 2012 campaign proposed to increase the size of the military by at least 100,000 troops, is a moderate?


EVERYONE thinks Romney is a moderate. He is a RINO to every definition of the word.

Now i know you're a radical leftist so moderate to you is Obama.

When the choice of motive for any DEMOCRAT action is between honor or deceit - nobody has ever gone broke betting on deceit.

Democrats have been so egregious that historically docile Republicans have finally lost their shite. We recognize their bullshite and will no longer be fooled. The sanctimonious dickheads can go frick themselves. No quarter will be given. Trump is a fighter and a good role model for fighting. However people finally wanting to fight is the Democrat’s doing.

That move was just plain stupid by the GOP.

Leadership had promised no vote on 9/11. That broken promise is going to piss off more than just the representatives who weren't there. That vote is now the talk of the state, certainly in the western part.

Those dumbasses just gave the Dems a GIGANTIC talking point for the upcoming elections, and they will come out in force next year to turn the state legislature blue again.

Just wait and see.

Gotta disagree with you on that. I'm sure that comes as a surprise. I mean, he said mean things about Trump. That makes him to the left of AOC, doesn't it?

Clarification: An earlier version of this article overly generalized the reason for Democrats’ absence from the General Assembly session. This version has been updated.

Republican leaders denied giving any such assurance. The Associated Press reported that the office of Republican Speaker Tim Moore provided audio from Tuesday’s floor session of Lewis saying that recorded votes would happen Wednesday.
