NC Republicans waiting for one Dem to be a no-show so they can override governor’s veto of their budget. They are assholes.

Sen. Jeff Jackson ✔ @JeffJacksonNC

Aaaand they just did it *again.*

They brought us into session yesterday, saw all the Dems were there, so they called a recess,

then another,

then another,

then another,

then another,

but every time we came back all the Dems showed up.

So they cancelled the vote.

2. Democracy - we don't need no pesky democracy

Good governance has to be at the heart of any system for it to work. They are literally trying to destroy America...

Look at the dipshits smiling and laughing at Sen Jeff Jackson for wanting to do the right thing. I wish karma would catch up to these Cons

4. Senator Jackson is a Dem to watch:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Jackson_(politician)



Jeffrey Neale Jackson (born September 12, 1982) is an American soldier, attorney, and politician from North Carolina. A Democratic member of the North Carolina Senate, he represents the 37th district, which is based in Mecklenburg County. Jackson also serves in the North Carolina National Guard.

After the September 11 attacks, Jackson enlisted in the United States Army Reserve and served in Kandahar Province during the War in Afghanistan. His military service continues to this day as a Captain in the JAG Corps with the Army National Guard. He drills monthly with the 113th Sustainment Brigade.

After graduating from law school, Jackson worked as an assistant district attorney in Gaston County and tried over one hundred cases ranging from DWI to first degree murder. He has served in the North Carolina Senate since 2014.

I hope he upgrades his senate seat to the Federal level!

5. But Dems are supposed to compromise, to reach across the aisle.

A nice idea when both parties are acting in good faith. Impossible otherwise.
