    Kentucky attorneys take an oath swearing not to participate in duels, which I thought was silly at the time. However, as I dealt with certain lawyers over the years, I began to understand. Sometimes, if it were an option, I might just demand satisfaction from a MF…

    No, I'm suggesting exactly what I said: national politics aren't affecting what's going on in the UNC System ALEC didn't tell them to create a fake lawsuit so they could pay $2.6M to NC neo-Confederates for a statue, nor to give Chancellorships to two of the ppl who went along

    Replying to @greg_doucette
    Are you suggesting that right wing politics aren't a national issue? ALEC is a national issue and we are seeing it here and many authoritarian leaders across the globe..

    You sound like someone who has no experience with NC politics circa 2010 Stick to what you know

    Replying to @greg_doucette
    It’s closer to “they came to get theirs and will hold onto it until you pry it from them”. Cut the BS that they ever tried to reform a thing.

    Never, that's why I post it to Twitter so I can use advanced search to find stuff and threads to keep it organized 😉

    I've heard of them, and even attended a Leadership Institute event back in 1998 The UNCCH situation isn't driven by national politics though, this a purely parochial affair with state-level personalities and objectives

    Greg.. Have you heard of Campus Reform? A Rep. Campus Newsletter and what it's up to?

    There have been so many BOG scandals I'm not sure it's even possible to keep them all straight 😂 In terms of keeping track, I always start with The Daily Tar Heel (), then and 's reporting at NC Policy Watch

    The UNC System Board of Governors issues are such a mess but I don't feel like I've seen a lot of real breakdowns of exactly what is going on behind the scenes and we could really use it.

    I can, and we are.

    I can't speak for UNCCH faculty, but I'd imagine they're tired of their university being a political football 3/3

    National Republicans did it with the 1994 cohort, and again with the Tea Party wave NC has been its only little enclave largely unnoticed by national politics until circa Obama

    Replying to @greg_doucette
    Did that translate nationally at all?

    At worst, yes It's just an excuse for NYPD to be big-🍆 commando warriors and show everyone how tough and powerful they are

    Been a couple of years since I've been on a NYC subway, but wouldn't fair evasion basically constitute petty theft?

    Oh the GOP was entirely correct, NC Dems were shamelessly corrupt (and a large number went to jail for it) But – as is so often the case in politics – they "came to do good, stayed to do well"

    Replying to @greg_doucette
    Do you think the GOP had the right of it, or were the Dems operating within the typical norms (i.e. sometimes being nepotistic, but not overly so) and the GOP was largely running a smear campaign?

    Yes, using a taser is better than them just shooting him Sending 6+ NYPD cops with tasers, for fare evasion, as bystanders explain the guy paid, and then tasing him as he's being cuffed, is still excessive force that wouldn't be tolerated in a less-slavish society

    Replying to @TJinPhoenix @greg_doucette
    And isn’t the purpose of a taser to be the least violent recourse for subduing a subject? Should a WWE-style wrestling match have ensued? Or should the officers have pulled their firearms? Like I said, I appreciate what you do. But this seems to blur the lines quite a bit

    Destroying it limits patronage opportunities Bruising it a little is just collateral damage

    Replying to @greg_doucette
    the problem I see is destroying UNCCH would be seen to them as a feature not a bug

    Do you not see him no longer moving and with his hands behind his back? If you can't see what's in the video, I can't help you

    Greg, I appreciate the light you shed on police violence But how was this man compliment at the moment he was tased?

    Republicans came into power criticizing Democrats' decades of patronage politics And have then spent the past 10 years making sure all of their friends get rich with taxpayer-financed jobs and contracts

    Replying to @greg_doucette
    Ah ... the joys of a reality show "golden buzzer" in politics (albeit highly localized internal politics in this case). Honestly, I sometimes wonder how we manage to function as a society as well as we do.

    Being at the top is elitist, and Republicans are men of the people! Or something

    Why is the War For the Bottom so much more passionately pursued today than the Race For the Top?
