The Pizza is A Choice. The lack of bowls defeats the purpose.

Let me get this straight.
The NCGA is 71R-49D.
The NC Senate is 30R-20D.
The SCONC is 5R-2D.
The Council of State is split but the Auditor became a Shadow Governor out of spite.

But Democrats run North Carolina because the Governor is a Democrat.

Make this make sense. #NCpol

I literally just heard "Marek & Boudreau" (as in Jeff & Bruce, who launch a podcast next week) as "Meredith Gaudreau" and wondered why a hockey widow would do a podcast.

P.S. F Sean Higgins, I hope you RIH.

Going to leave this here for the Boston sports fans because more and more it seems true.

A Google Translate screen asking for what the translation for Jerod Mayo (New England Patriots player from 2008-15 who was head coach in 2024) into German, with the solution being Marco Sturm (current Boston Bruins head coach who played for them from 2005-10) This alludes to Mayo's 4-13 record which led to him being replaced with former teammate Mike Vrabel.

People say there was a recession and that people allegedly were hurting. I sure didn't see it.

I am convinced that 99% of the "Republicans" on Threads are actually bots who rush to stance like some screaming Usher fans at the slightest utterance of certain terms.

Sure, thinking that things would be more stable if Kamala won is peak hilarity and 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 worthy. Are you blind?

They deserve no vices. No alcohol. No cigs or vapes or Zyns. No prescribed drugs even, illicit or otherwise.

Twist your ankle? No aspirin or Advil or Aleve for you. Definitely no oxys. Maybe Tylenol just to troll them.

Republicans are the cause of all of America's problems and are all awful people.

I think after 10 years of dealing with the other side having staked their reputations on a narcissistic sex pest nepo baby with far more red flags and having won big, some people (not I, because I hate early anointment) are desperate enough to enter DILLIGAF territory with little to lose.

I need to speak to a Republican.

Where would I be able to find one?

Don't say Twitter. Though Threads is making me want to go back there so slide into some MAGA DM's.

She might have had coattails to flip or keep a few House seats. Things would still be better.

Kamala Harris would've saved America from collapse and would've ushered in a new golden age. Prove me otherwise.

When North Carolina gave governors during Jim Hunt's 90s return, then-Senator Roy Cooper left out congressional maps because "hey, we're never going to lose the legislature."

You know who is to blame for this?

Some dude named Roy Cooper. I wonder what happened to him.

Oh, he became a beloved two term Governor and is supposed to be our savior in the US Senate next year?

Damn.

Unfortunately, due to the NC state constitution, the Governor does not have the power to veto bills related to redistricting. And since the NC GOP holds a majority in both chambers (ya know, due to gerrymandering 👀), they only needed a simple majority to pass these maps into law. #ncpol

Me after going through Threads today.

I swear that among those who identify as Democrats in North Carolina that there has been a collective amnesia about anything before the 2023 NCDP chair election save one night in 2008. #NCPol

75%-25%? In North Carolina?

Try 99.8%-.00000000001%

I can't think of a single Democrat who cuts Republicans fully out. Not even a loud critic like a Julie Von Haefen.

You want to see why I'm so anti-Republican? Stuff right here. Republicans see Democrats as an obstacle, not as humans.

Meanwhile, Democrats somehow have a Padme Amidala-level naivete of Republicans at best to outright simping for Republicans at worst.

If you were looking for an example of everything that's wrong in our politics today, you could do worse than this sentiment from Republican North Carolina State Senator Ralph Hise on Monday, October 20th 2025, to objections from lawmakers about his proposal to rig North Carolina's Congressional map.
