GOP launch sneak attack during 9-11 commemorations

In a surprise move Wednesday morning, the N.C. House of Representatives voted to override Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of the state budget with just over half of the 120 members present to vote.

Democrats in the chamber objected to the bill being brought up, saying they were told there would be no votes during the 8:30 a.m. session and that it was just a formality so work could begin. Rep. Jason Saine, a Lincolnton Republican, made the motion to reconsider the state budget and chaos in the chamber quickly ensued. House Speaker Tim Moore, a Kings Mountain Republican, said that announcement was not made, and even asked the House Clerk to back him up.

“This is a travesty of the process and you know it,” Rep. Deb Butler, D-New Hanover, said when the vote was called, noting that Democratic leadership was not present. “We will not yield.”

Why are there Democrats that still trust the Republicans? I am not trying to excuse the Republicans for using The 9-11 Remembrance, but when you have a Republican Party willing to work with the Russians to defeat us, why would you think that they could be trusted to keep their word? The Republican voters on NC will cheer them on for taking advantage of 9-11, being the deplorables they are, so it's not like they are going to pay a political cost.

Nice job, Charlie Browns.

Nice guys finish last. We must start working with an element of surprise. We always telecast when and what we are going to do, So frustrating!
