...Repuke legislature. NC is going BACK BACK BACK to the dark ages: racism, sexism, high unemployment, fucked-up RTP and colleges, and I hope they enjoyed their early voting and same-day reg and NO Voter ID because this was the LAST TIME they'll ever get to experience it.

Birth control: outlawed. Voter ID: mandatory. NO more early voting. NO more same-day registration.

McCrappy is a Duke Energy tool. Hope NC loves oil and gas wells because they will be EVERYWHERE. Fracking and stinking polluted water - poison. Rates will go UP UP UP. Taxes on middle-class through the roof. Duke Energy will pay less than ZERO in taxes - WE will make up the difference.

If there is a whiff of a union anywhere in NC (I don't think there is) - they'll smoke that.

Durham, Chapel Hill, Asheville, any blue speck and African Americans and women everywhere - marginalized - legally, socially, economically. Worker's rights? --->

Civil rights: DEAD.

KKK and oil rigs in ya front yard.

HooBoy.



Dumbasses. Ya'll gonna be sorry.

These idiots will soon find out what they've got.........I give him about 6 months after he's in before the crap hits the fan. A year to 1.5 years before their is buyer's remorse but it'll be too late.

pug to rule their state so I figured they'd also like to have a pug run their country.

But I hear that the blue counties have not been counted yet.

I'm just glad I don't live there. I have to live in the pathetic state of OH where our pathetic population elected Kashit and no ability to recall the asshat.
