This would include everyone, including the very ill, or compromised, such as patients undergoing chemo.

Evil people don't deserve freedoms. Protestors are evil. They protest against the good. Allowing them freedom would be stupid and dangerous. They might change things and all change is for the worst. Everybody knows this.

They codified exceptions for the KKK.

Republicans have no platform other than Trump and virtue signaling.

"we need to ban masks because we hate the current group of protesters" is some real East German shit.

Evil people do evil thing. News at 11.

Desantis did something ludicrous the other day regarding climate change (though shalt not refer to it) so all the other shithead red states feel like they are getting passed by in the "race for idiocy".

Texas will respond shortly, I'm sure, if not Mizzou....

North Carolina already has a law on the books prohibiting state agencies from considering the effects of climate change while developing infrastructure projects like roads, bridges, and water and sewer systems. In a coastal state, what could go wrong?

For the contractors who don't have to legally build infrastructure that can withstand climate change, and the politicians who get "campaign contributions" and no-work jobs when they're out of office from those same contracting firms?

Absolutely nothing.

State government working exactly as intended.

That CANNOT BE LEGAL. Remind me to never set foot in N. Carolina.

Virtue signalling is a pejorative neologism for the idea that an expression of a moral viewpoint is being done disingenuously,

OK, yeah, well somehow by hook and crook, swindle, illegal payoffs, hush money, Russian interference, Trump got the White House for 4 years and Republicans are all celebrate the victor, goddamn all reasonable considerations. Trump is their boy and they'll go down with the ship tied to the mast.

Don't worry. In 20-30 years they'll come begging congress for funds to fix their now flooded out coastal infrastructure. Then we all get to pay!

Kentucky GQP was considering it as well ,then the Democrats had to remind them that we don't have a coastline. 😉

Uncontrolled pig farm ponds are over run by flood waters and spread pig shit everywhere.

Disappearing coastlines are only one problem that's going to hit the world (and us) in the decades ahead. Short of some miracle of science or aliens (who IMO are more likely to wipe us out like roaches before we spread our nonsense to galactic society).

I won't be here to see it, and from what I see from my kids' generation a lot of them can't be arsed to care, or have bought into fake news bullshit as much as the oldsters. Good luck with that, hope for your sake you are right that it's fake or no big deal.

Those who already know the Republican Party is the racist party this comes as no surprise.

This is flat out authoritarianism. How can this be constitutional in the USA?

MrSquished · May 20, 2024

North Carolina Republicans are absolutely shitty evil people. We already knew this. I feel bad for the minority of sane and decent people there that don't like the Trump party there
