Congratulations to Senate Majority Leader Harrington on her new position. #ncpol #ncga https://t.co/ERrXfZec6r

I wish her congratulations also. But unless she can exert some pressure on Phil Berger to pull his head out of his ass and work with the Governor (and the NC House), this won't even leave a smudge on the glass ceiling.

Why @NC_Governor’s COVID rhetoric is so damaging, plus quick takes on the smear on @paulmnewby, Democrat rising stars, and the call to abolish the Lt. Gov as independently elected #ncpol

Today we will discuss how inept website gurus can pursue a lucrative career in right-wing propaganda. Okay, we just discussed it. Andrew doesn't deserve even that much analysis.

She's just a selfish idiot. When you're in their house (hospital), you play by their rules, period. The fact the nurse had to force her to wear a mask justt shows you how stupid these people have gotten.

Still waiting for the @NCGOP to ask @NC_Governor what he did with the $30M in CARES funding for rural broadband plus why I'm paying 51% property tax for my kid out of school since March. #ncpol

There is no cure for stupid. This very likely refers to 51c per $100 value, which is 1/2 of 1%. And actually on the low side of property taxes in the state.

A message to GOP state legislatures: You should have no qualms about using your full powers under the Constitution. You can name your own electors, so do it. Since Democrats are willing to win by any means necessary, you should also be willing to win in the same manner

You are one of the biggest threats to democracy in our country. And what makes it even worse, I know you don't believe that shit, you're just running a grift like your pal Trump.

Read more from Jordan Green on a far-right coalition in NC's attempts to "carry on the fight." #ncpol https://t.co/d5hnDdJQT5

I've been waiting for Jordan to write this:

True to form, a Proud Boy named Jeremy Bertino picked up a bullhorn a couple minutes after the official 11:30 a.m. start time and addressed the counter-protesters across the street.

"America will never be a communist nation — never!" Bertino said as fellow Proud Boys lined the sidewalk wearing tactical vests and trademark yellow and black gear. "Your side will lose. We will exterminate you like the rats you are…. Exterminate you!"

Bertino wore a patch with the letters "R-W-D-S" — short for "right-wing death squads." Mass killing of political opponents is a theme widely promoted by Proud Boys and other far-right extremists who celebrate Chilean dictator Augosto Pinochet's grisly practice during the 1970s of disappearing opposition activists by dropping them out of helicopters.

Previewing the in-real-life showdown on Saturday, Bertino posted a photo of North Carolina antifascist Lindsay Ayling on the Parler social media platform, encouraging followers to make a contest out of Photoshopping her image, while making a violent and misogynistic claim that "she has an affinity for alpha males and helicopters" and hash-tagging the post #antifawhore.

Going after women is hard-wired into these assholes. It's also known as cowardice, and absolutely nothing to be proud of.

Rumor: In-person early voting is incorrectly showing up on my voter record as “absentee.”

Reality: In NC, ballots cast during the early voting period are considered “absentee in person.” Learn more about your voter record: https://t.co/YzCSmKIhnZ#ncpol #YourVoteCountsNC pic.twitter.com/vASqjgtQvb

I've already had to explain this to several people on social media, and I'm sure I'll have to do it more. That being said, it might be worth taking a look at changing that designation, as accurate as it may be.

I am so looking forward to Maddy-boy taking on AOC (because he believes the right-wing propaganda about her intelligence) and getting his ass handed to him. He’ll be competing with Goehmert and Greene for the Dumbest Member of Congress title by the end of 2021. #ncpol #nc11

Yeah, he's an idiot, alright. I may have to go back to watching C-SPAN...

"It's been spreading to rural, ever since the beginning..and now we're seeing a larger foothold in rural, which is being more affected in most places than in urbanized areas." #ncpol #COVID19https://t.co/lW0QKOqOcZ

Pay close attention to this, folks:

Hamilton's wife said he likely caught it while he was, as usual, looking out for others. He visited a neighbor who was dying of cancer, then got a call. The neighbor's son, who had been present during the visit, had tested positive.

His wife said Hamilton immediately got tested, but the results were a false negative.

"And then when everything started going downhill, they went on and took a rapid COVID test and found out he had double pneumonia," she said. "And he did have COVID."

It doesn't give the age of the son, or whether any of them were wearing masks. But this is just 3 people and a relatively brief encounter indoors. And that's all Coronavirus needs.

On that depressing note, here's your Onion:
