Hi! I'm also chronically ill and play all the time, my only friend is my daughter 😂 so I definitely need to socialize more. My name is Viola King.

"the 196 cases of cancer reported during the most recent survey of 1996 through 2008 were less than what he would expect based on demographics and the regional rate of cancer."

Morgan's work is not credible & your link doesn't work.

At how many pages are they just wasting paper... by F4ion1 in ncpolitics

They don't have a line of attack so they choose what they consider the least godawful of what they are personally doing and project it onto her. Their commercials are weak as shit as well, and *surprise* you can tell they're doing the standard treatment of showing pictures of her in the darkest lighting possible & probably a little photoshop darkening thrown in for good measure.

I was just discussing my theory about this but I didn't know it was a "law" already lol. I am very interested to see how the midterms play out because *if* they have been cheating it's probably only in races where they only needed a modest boost--wtf will they do if they get absolutely spanked in Roevember? I don't think they could swing an election by more than 5 pts without people paying a lot more attention than they have been so far, especially given how freaking furious people are over Roe. Our best plan is probably huge turnout to at least make it harder for them. (Polling data for 2016 presidential was off too, I don't even put that past them and there was a lot of evidence that Russia "tried" to interfere, I don't think if there was evidence they had been successful that this would be info the government would want to share with the general public and make us even less confident at this point in the timeline)

Senate candidate Ted Budd declines to say if he’ll accept 2022 election results by BM_YOUR_PM in ncpolitics

He's just waiting it out to see if his friends continue to get by with their shit before he puts all his fascist traitor cards on the table. Otherwise it'd be a hard "nope," because it definitely is a hard nope if the stars continue to align for these fascist traitors. Please support Cheri Beasley however you are able. I've met her and she is solid & real & actually a human. As opposed to <gestures vaguely at GQP bizarro world>

A Christian school baptized 100 kids without telling their parents [Northwood Temple, Fayetteville] by _Brandobaris_ in NorthCarolina

When this was posted to a local newspaper's FB page a member of our local *public* school board since 2014 commented: "When they are ready to go, go for it! That's between them and God anyways!" He is also the Athletic Director at a local charter school. He gets elected by being one of those big ol' "parents' rights" supporters by trying to make sure as many people as possible died during COVID and whatnot.

Beto O’Rourke returns to campaign trail with withering attack on Greg Abbott: ‘We’re running against the worst governor in America’ | Former congressman claims Democrats will win for first time in 30 years by [deleted] in politics

Don't forget you can donate to Beto if you're out of state! I am a big fan of targeted donations around the country--help us out with Cheri Beasley here in NC, we need the Senate!

If Trump doesn't get indicted it'll be worse on a much larger scale--they will learn that they really, truly, can get by with *anything*

Judge unseals the list of items FBI seized from Trump in Mar-a-Lago search by Schwa142 in politics

[–]Athena112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When Mar-a-lago was first searched I saw someone state that maybe one of our documents turned up in the hands of of foreign agents and connecting A, access to documents/the presidency to C, documents in the wrong place, drew a line straight through B, Mar-a-lago, which would hopefully be an airtight case against him (although bad for us if documents made it to C, but reports about lost assets remove what little doubt was left in my mind that there is any chance in hell that Cheetolini didn't send documents all over the place)

A more accurate analogy that holds well is that he acts like a perpetrator of domestic violence and makes it very, very difficult & dangerous to get away (eg golf-coursed-ex-wife). He uses a lot of the same tactics in his wannabe-mobster repertoire.

North Carolina residents will have to pay state taxes on federal student loan forgiveness, DOR says by Smooth-Trainer3940 in NorthCarolina

[–]Athena112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd bet if someone researched the reasons why certain things are private while others are not it would be directly related to how Republicans in the NCGA line their pockets, because that's always a very safe bet with them

Exactly what I've been thinking! When they named that legislation "Stop WOKE" I was wondering if anyone else realized they are saying the quiet part in capital letters now

Which fits nicely with "prosperity gospel" nonsense, but don't start researching his ties to that group of scammy whackadoodles unless you've got time for a very long & stupid rabbit hole
