"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."

      Especially the fucking news.

      They cover those trump rallies like they are fun parties. Then are sure to repeat all of his lies. It’s ridiculous. The news every night is like “such and such happens. Then trump said…” As if what he says is equally as important as what actually happened.

      They reported on him trying to overturn the last election live on every single network then just continue to cover him like that never happened. Infuriating
