The States 2: States Rights for Me But Not for Thee

So in the saga of the "Whitmer on a hot mic" moment from last week, she and Oracle (imagine that) are claiming it is altered. The videographer says it was absolutely NOT altered, but refuses to name who paid for the video.
 
So did she have a stroke, too? She genuinely seemed like "one of the good ones."

Or is it an iron law of power that it turns you into a shit, and only Bernie has ever been immune?

I absolutely believed she WAS one of the good ones. Not only that, I always cited her as an example of doing it smartly where Hochul was doing everything wrong. They both had the same agendas, but Whitmer was getting it done with laws and proclamations that for the most part were not costing the taxpayers anything. While Hochul was getting everything done by using the budget which meant having the citizens pay for all of her agenda.

But once again, that iron law of power corrupted her.
 
After Democratic Reps. Carla Cunningham (Mecklenburg County) and Shelly Willingham (Bertie, Edgecombe Counties) missed a scheduled NC House session today, Republicans quickly overrode four vetoes by Gov. Josh Stein, a Democrat.

The four vetoed bills, which are now law, require local law enforcement and state agencies to cooperate with ICE and block NC government departments, public schools, and universities from promoting diversity.

They sat outside the chamber while the House voted.
 
You never win by losing.

You never win by walking out.

Minorities have managed to stop terrible things with procedural hurdles. You can't protest a ratfucking by sticking to principles -- you are dealing with ratfuckers. They have no principles.

I don't like their response to getting screwed but I think this is one possible result. This is the opposite of Fetterman. These are folks that likely lost their primaries because they were seen as not getting anything done, while they were doing everything that they could.

I guess in a way they taught people a lesson. It's similar to what some of the folks in New York (not all) got. Punished because of the party, not because of what they did.
