Summary
The North Carolina House passed a controversial bill allocating $227 million for Hurricane Helene relief while including provisions to reduce powers of the incoming Democratic governor and attorney general.
Critics, including Democrats, called it a “power grab,” citing changes like stripping the governor’s control over the State Board of Elections and limiting the attorney general’s ability to challenge state laws or advocate for utility customers.
Republicans defended the bill as necessary, but some GOP lawmakers opposed it.
The bill now heads to the Senate and may face a gubernatorial veto.

Rule 1 of the liberal rules of engagement: if someone disagrees with you or isn’t a consummate eater of democratic ass, personally attack them
I attack defeatist attitudes, for sure.
There is one party that has tangibles that is open to positive change and the structure to implement that change. To toss out the baby with he bathwater is ridiculous. The party isnt useless. It’s influence-able and malleable. So yes, I will discard attitudes of defeat.
They’re just a troll, dude.
When have democrats ever been open to change? And when have their voters ever demanded change? You’re all going to sit by and let Trump and the GOP do whatever the fuck they want, because to oppose them in any way would be rude and disrespectful. Democrats are worse than useless, bc their goal is to be slightly left of republicans at all times, making them a right wing party with absolutely no interest in ever moving left unless republicans somehow also went left. If you still think they’re going to resist fascism in any remotely meaningful way, I’ve got a bogo deal on some bridges for you
Whoa, i was with you up until one of your sentances.
Dont disparage the voters, weve been demanding change from the dems for years. Its the party leaders that are at fault. The DNC will not allow a decent person to run as our candidate, which is why the DNC needs to be removed. Personally, I think the leaders of the dnc should be at least kicked out of the country, maybe out of life. You dont get to be just as bad as the republicans and still get to enjoy being taken seriously.
Fair enough, I didn’t mean all dem voters, it’d be weird if I did since I voted Harris lol. I was more talking about shitlibs who think any criticism of Biden’s policies or calls for more action to stop genocide in Gaza is basically support for trump, I should’ve worded it better. Tbh if there’s any chance for democrats to win in 4 years (there won’t) I might still vote for them in the vague hope that the far right will cannibalize itself and die with cheetoman, but the fact that they won this time around and democrats’ compete and total cooperation have pretty much killed my trust in them as far as trying to stop fascism or fundamentally improve anything that won’t be undone with the next republican president
Yeah, i knew what you meant, I was just being a shitlord.
I 100% agree. The republican party is actually malicious, and the dems are useless. Anyone campaigning for either party is at best ignorant and at worst evil. The solution no longer lies in parties, the solution lies in forcing everyone to understand that we are no longer asking. Its time for people to actually demand that the world improves, and if you stand in the way of that, you dont get to experiance the world. Worst part is that the malicious and ignorant are no longer just the US’ problem, Trump is going to fuck the entire planet.
The Consumer Protection Bureau says “What’s Up?”
Seriously how fucking hard is it for yall to admit you seriously fucked up this election and alienated a shit ton of voters that could have won you the election? Or that you don’t actually care about social or economic change? Democrats fucking suck, and if you want even the tiniest chance of winning another election the solution is not to go “after hitler, our turn” and suck republican cock, it’s to start actually appealing to people who aren’t fucking republicans
Really tho if that’s your only example of democrats ever doing anything to oppose conservatives, that proves my point perfectly
You mean the bureau that Trump is gonna destroy and democrats will watch it happen? Strange, for some reason liberal accomplishments never get locked in, so they can just be undone later. I wonder why that is
