"A Maryland Republican who leads a right-wing coalition in Congress says North Carolina’s legislature should consider awarding Electoral College votes to former President Donald Trump before citizens’ votes are counted, according to Politico.

Rep. Andy Harris, the chairman of the Freedom Caucus, made the comments at a dinner on Thursday, saying the idea “makes a lot of sense” because the western part of the state, a rural area where Trump is popular, is still dealing with the impact of Hurricane Helene."

    What’s with all you people always making things about politics every time a politician says something politically alarming? Can’t you see it was a joke or not that big of a deal or not meant to upset people?

    Why would you threaten a politician’s career just because they were threatening to sabotage an election by leveraging the current chaos due to lacking resources after a natural disaster? You know, the chaos caused by insufficient disaster relief funds after people like Andy Harris forced approval of lower than necessary funds.

    \s except for that last sentence. Fuck this unqualified asshole.
