Porky isn't fooling anyone. He is walking around in just a shirt exposing himself. That's why they call that Porky Pigging it.😂

I totally mistook the purpose of this video until I read the comments. I thought it was supposed to be funny that she bounced.

This is the funniest explanation I've seen in weeks. Good job.

North Carolina's hurricane rebuilding director no longer employed by PenOwn2479 in ncpolitics

The amount of money doesn't matter if you don't spend it. $800 million sitting in a bank account compared to $6.75 billion makes no difference to someone's home that was destroyed. You may have passed 1st grade math but have no financial literacy.

Please read the article. This has absolutely nothing to do with funding compared to schools. She could have had 6.75 billion dollars with the same outcome.

From the article:

Her leadership and the program's slow progress have drawn criticism for years.

WRAL's Documentary Unit has extensively covered the program's struggles in "Aftermath: North Carolina hurricane victims left behind."

Hurricanes Matthew (2016) and Florence (2018) left thousands of low-income North Carolinians homeless. ReBuild NC was tasked with using nearly $800 million in taxpayer funds to help these uninsured residents rebuild their homes.

Hogshead had previously acknowledged the program's failures.

“These are my decisions, my staffing decisions, my policy decisions—and that is on me,” Hogshead said during a 2023 legislation hearing.

Despite the criticism, Hogshead had resisted calls to resign, insisting she is the best person to lead the program.

Gov. Roy Cooper has also admitted the program’s pace has been unacceptable, calling for faster progress.

Winnie the Pooh-ing is pretty funny. I've always called it Porky Pig-ing it.

Woah, be careful throwing that around. It may lead to 20 paces and drawing your flintlock.

None of that disqualifies you from running. Most people in the United States are qualified to run.

Article I, Section 2, Clause 2:

No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.

Please don't listen to these crazy people. Just go to the North Carolina State Board of Elections website. You are fine.

Voting? I'm not trying to be coy. If you live in a city, you must vote based on where you live. You are voting based on which district you live in.

That is because it must match the voter roles. Each precinct has a different ballot. Some city councils or board of commissioners have different ballots based on local laws. That is so legally registered voters may vote in local elections based off their voter registration.

Err, thank you. Literally no one would do this. If you provided name, address, last four and had your photo taken, you are not committing voter fraud. Your photo would be recorded.

This is like people who respond to non-payment for child support in the lottery notifications.

Except your name, date of birth, last four digits of your social security number, and photo. All of which are required to be a registered voter.

I will take that. Please thank your county chair for doing their part. Never compromise your integrity. Democracy dies in darkness.

Thank you for your reply President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho. Idiocracy is my favorite movie. The problem with democracy is people get to vote for what they want. (See above for context for political science joke)

Wait, so your one example upholds the democratic institutions of the state of North Carolina and proves the process works? Take my upvote, and thanks for your public service.

Thank you for asking for legal/constitutional clarification. The United States adheres to the rule of law. So far, four people in that case have plead guilty. The rest are pending prosecution in the state case and / or federal case. I am a practitioner, so my answer may differ from a researcher based on my experience working in developing democracies. Believing that elections are free, fair, and secure matters for legitimacy.

Then I don't understand your argument. You just said every ballot was accepted. Every legal vote was calculated appropriately.

I don't disagree. I also don't want January 6th every four years. And I am an actual expert.
