Mike Lonergan, a campaign spokesperson, said in a statement late Friday night that the 56-year-old Robinson suffered second-degree burns during an “incident at a campaign appearance at the Mayberry Truck Show in Mt. Airy,” a city located near the border of North Carolina and Virginia.
They’re using pyrotechnics at GOP events, I guess.
Interesting question that hadn’t occurred to me. Great one to bring up as a thought experiment. I agree with a sibling comment that says he likely wouldn’t be covered if convicted, but this is also new (and previously unthinkable) territory.
“I have never believed that there’s systemic racism in the police,” he told reporters.
Not credible (his superior, not the guy in the headline).
Cuz free speech, duh. /s
Stop supporting Israel. They’re terrorists.
However, in that same interview, McCrory noted that the North Carolina Republican Party had known for awhile that Robinson’s extreme policy positions and rhetoric could come back to bite them, calling the sitting lieutenant governor a “ticking time bomb.” He laid blame for Robinson’s likely loss in November at the feet of former state GOP chair Michael Whatley, who is now the chairman of the Republican National Committee.
I’d blame racist Mark Robinson, but what do I know about politics.
Stop doing this.
They’re going to get a beer and a hotdog but they’ll be right back.
Rasmussen has long been criticized for its polling, which focuses on “likely voters,” and for skewing toward older Americans and providing favorable results to conservatives. During the Trump administration, its website became overtly supportive of the right wing, with many of its polls sponsored by conservative personalities and causes. On social media, Rasmussen appeared to legitimize many conspiracy theories on the right, such as election fraud and vaccine denialism.
Yank their non-profit status.
They’ve got the bank account to do so successfully. But I don’t think they’d wanna piss off his lunatic supporters and risk domestic terrorism.
I work in IT. Five bucks says their government-issued phones can be unlocked by an MDM (Mobile Device Management) profile.
I’m talking about the senate. Each state gets two reps.
He’s an elected public servant. Regardless of whether or not we want to protect ourselves from prosecution, he’s supposed to be accountable for his actions and he’s deliberately spoiling the investigation.
Apple has a feature to restrict changing the passcode when not in a typical geolocation. This is to prevent thieves from shoulder-surfing your passcode in a bar and then snatching the phone and changing the code. If you’re at home or at work (where the phone recognizes your typical behavior / location), it shouldn’t activate. In a random location, it would. I don’t know how well that works. It’s a relatively recent feature (within a year or so, I think).
I wasn’t bullied into casting a vote for Hilldog (she fucking sucks). I am going to vote against the orange bad because I’ve seen how awful his time in office was. I’m not a fan of Harris, but I’m very anti-him. Dems aren’t good enough, but he’s terrible enough that I must do what I can to prevent another term.
I dunno. I kinda think it’s cool that a state twenty times smaller than my own (Alaska, California) gets an equal share of say to my own. /s
And Lonnie’s platform blocks links. Something I thought he’d never do, what with being the “free speech” guy. /s Lonnie’s a hypocrite, but we all knew that.
Given that this was about an election, I don’t think they should be allowed to settle without making the terms public.
Boebert mentioned her disappointment with the “bias” of Warner’s questions at that point. “It’s very unfortunate that we are having this time together to communicate policy and every one of your questions is so far skewed and is so partisan,” Boebert said.
Why are you talking about reality and facts when I try to lie about my party?!
Even those of us who wanted Bush Jr to stand trial for war crimes never thought it was possible. This is the first time it’s been a possibility for sure. That’s how far this asshole has run amuck.
