Who would have ever thought the NC GOP could go so low as to holding a vote when many legislators are at a 9/11 memorial. What despicable people they are.

So many questions not the least of which is why the GOP couldn't be bothered to attend a remembrance of 9-11, let alone sneak in a vote while other lawmakers were away.

GOP House Speaker Tim Moore commented “If they didn’t want it to pass, all you have to do is show up for work” .
This is what a political party does when they cannot win fairly even in a red state, obviously. NC GOP sound like a reprehensible bunch. Fortunately, their underhanded tactics are front and center across the country so everyone knows about their scummy actions.

Remember how we grew up in America hearing, "it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game"? Trump's America has replaced that with lie, cheat, steal, as long as you win, because that is all that matters kids. The state of the country is irrelevant to them. Make American Slimy.

Politicians perform a sneaky, slimy political maneuver? In other words, everything is normal; nothing to see here.

So those that didn't show up for work complain about those that showed up and did their job....the GOP did the right thing (their job).

The faster you come to grips with that basic fact of political life, the better off you'll be.
Yea, speaking of partisan blinders, perhaps being better informed would help you moving forward.

I am as nonpartisan as it gets. I despise all politicians of any party with equal intensity.

Don't care what rhetoric, excuses, justifications or rationalizations a bully uses, I simply hate bullies.

But you clearly cannot see, and I cannot do that for you. Seeing is something people have to do for themselves.

If leftists had done this, their lickspittle supporters would be calling it an act of courage.
