How is the right going to blame transgender people for this one. #ncpol https://t.co/dEIpo4uaZ6

They will either ignore it, twist it all out of proportion, or just flat-out lie. It's how they roll.

You employ neither logic nor experience. You say there's never really been a Free Market, and then spew out postulations of what that would look like and how it would operate. That's not logic, it's writing a screenplay. I remember a few years ago a Libertarian running for high office in NC came on BlueNC, and tried to "sway" me by bringing up a successful biofuel company. When I brought up the fact this company (which I really like, by the way) got a $10 million grant from the Golden Leaf Foundation (government taking money from one company and giving it to another should be anathema to a genuine Libertarian), instead of admitting he was wrong, he tried to poo-poo the amount, ten million being small potatoes (or something along those lines). As for experience? If any of you guys ran a business (successful or not) in the past, I'm pretty sure we would have seen it mentioned here and there. Cranking out pseudo-Libertarian propaganda for Amerigarchs might be considered experience, just not the kind that engenders trust in your opinions. And neither does this:

Rather than actually addressing the country’s problems, our government has decided to stick their heads in the sand. #ncga #ncpol pic.twitter.com/uJESAR3oiz

Where were you when Trump was jacking up tariffs on everything our producers and consumers needed? Not a friggin' peep. Inflation by country: UK 9.4, Spain 10.8, Brazil 11.9, Russia 15.9. In other words, global. JLF has always been somewhat questionable, but now it's turned into a joke. A bad one at that.

Now that is freedom. Spread the good news.

After county boards went over everything a second time, they removed a few verified signatures but @NorthCarolinaGP was still 1,607 signatures over what they needed. Chair Circosta said there was nothing political involved in investigation process. #NCPOL https://t.co/sR2oRMAp6z

A little piece of advice (free of charge): Don't hire shady, out-of-state professional petition contractors next time, and you won't have to deal with the consequences.

Two parties can play this game. I suggest the NC Green Party candidate be a strong MAGA supporter. #ncpol

Lol! Bob Orr is a left-wing activist? You are a f**king idiot, you know that?

@SenThomTillis has quite the history of loudly claiming his support of veterans and then quietly voting against them

Not sure how any active duty or ex-military can support him tbh

veterans are dying and Tillis just gave them the middle finger cause 'politics'#ncpol https://t.co/31Jk6VY1Fy

He learned that from Burr. What a pair...
