Editorial: Did Trump use the FBI to silence Burr? https://t.co/7JuSHJcOPL via @ncpolicywatch #ncpol #ncga #ncgov #ncsen #Burr

The timing of the FBI's decision to drop the months-long investigation tells us quite a bit. Shortly before Biden was sworn in, but after the House voted to Impeach. Was there a quid pro quo between Trump and Burr dealing with his Impeachment vote in the upcoming Senate trial? The fact the Senate Ethics panel did not outright absolve Burr of any wrongdoing is also very telling, but it looks like Burr will not face any consequences for his second bank run.
Key responsibilities of our @WCPSS BOE.

As usual your logic is flawed. You would force them to have an in-person meeting, with probably unlimited public participation, or not make any policy decisions at all. Aside from the fact that's just plain reckless, you're also assuming that would somehow lead them to open schools. In reality, it would actually make them fear the virus more.
Two people familiar with his thinking said Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows… was even considering a position at the Trump Organization because of a lack of options.https://t.co/uKS5G0J59r

Well, he can't drive the golf cart. Trump doesn't let anybody do that for him, because it's his Par Assault Vehicle (PAV) and follows his commands unquestioningly. Unless the battery dies.
Rumor: If election night results change over the ensuing days, the process is hacked or compromised, so I can’t trust the results.
Reality: Provisional ballots and absentee ballots received after Election Day but postmarked by Election Day may be added later.#ncpol pic.twitter.com/0ZJ697rK4S— NCSBE (@NCSBE) January 25, 2021
I agree with this 100%. Except for Bigfoot. I'm keeping an open mind about that...

Oh god, here we go again. The Tim Peck Tim Moffitt bromance is rekindling. Where is Shakespeare when you need him?
This is political theatrics. #ncpol https://t.co/t8oVGoHXGy

Uh, no. Political theatrics is acting like a deadly pandemic is just another flu variation, nothing to worry about, merely to attack a Democratic Governor. Jeff's comment is just a light-hearted satirical observation, which of course flies way over the heads of trolls.
Proud of @JoshStein for this win on our behalf but really struggling with "NCians" #ncpol https://t.co/Rt9QNtqLFx

Yeah, that needs to be retired. And so should calling everybody from our state "Tarheels," for that matter. Nothing against UNC mind you, I've just always found it...degrading? Reductive? something along those lines. Then again, I was born in Florida. Tarheel might be slightly better than "Cracker."
This is the sort of thing we like to hear. It's been established for several years that NC is a popular retirement destination. A study by the Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan organization, states that NC is gaining new residents due to wise tax policy decisions. #ncpol pic.twitter.com/8eaZjmnB7h

Yeah, that's a load of crap. The average high temperature during the two equinoxes approaches the 70 degree mark. There are harsh days during the Winter and Summer, but "mild" is the rule for 4/5 of the year.
Meadows mentioned as potential witness the Democrats might want to hear from in the impeachment trial qualifies this one for an #nc11 & #ncpol tag. https://t.co/PUKgabjcb4

It would be pretty sweet if somebody could get Meadows on record about that phone call, even if it's not included in the articles. Help back up any criminal charges that may be brought by Georgia prosecutors.

You know who is tasked with most domestic violence calls, intervention, and prevention? County sheriff's departments. You take them out of the loop on permitting, and more women will die. So spare me the faulty 2nd Amendment argument, I've got more important things to contemplate.
