And then please explain to us just how Obama's action which occurred earlier than the issue you presented is NOT THE EXACT SAME THING YOU COMPLAINED ABOUT.  And more importantly, why YOU have not been on this forum screaming about Obama being a sore loser.

The North Carolina Governor's office is ranked among the three weakest in the country at 48th, as measured by constitutional, institutional and formalized powers. The NC executive branch is a system of divided power with the Governor sharing much of the power with a nine member Council of State comprised of popularly elected officials such as Lt Governor, Secretary of State, Treasurer, Auditor, et al. The Governor has very little power to remove appointees from office and is the only governor in the US without some type of veto power. Sorry Fcukstick, but your argument is more heat than light.

3 questions:

1. What are you talking about?

Your post.

2. Got any lungs links?

Don't know WTF a "lungs links" is.

3. What's your point?

That the NC Governor is considered a weak governorship because of the little power vested in the office and that much of the power there is is shared with the Council of State. It appears that the Democrats who have had an iron grip on what has been mostly a figurehead office are now pissed off being reduced to fighting for scraps of political power. 2016 was already a sucky year for Democrats and it just got suckier with yet another ignominious political defeat. If wasn't for bad luck they'd have no luck at all.

There's a big difference between helping to insure women will continue to receive much needed healthcare services and detonating a bomb on your way out. More importantly Trump will be just one pen stroke away from reversing what Obama did. The situation in NC would be much tougher to fix.

Professor Thad Beyle at University of North Carolina has done a lot of research into power structures in state governors. Google him.

Heres a link on the North Carolina executive branch power sharing.

If It's such a meaningless job, then why did Pat McCrory refuse to leave? Trying to get rid of him was like trying to get rid of a squatter at your lake house. Why are they trying so hard to gut an apparently meaningless position? It's unfortunate that there were good people in America that actually bought into Trump's line of BS, but he is after all a reality TV star. BS is what he does. NC is a prime example of the fact that people are willing to give your lunatic a chance on creating jobs,  but don't stray from that.

Hell, what's not to like? $140K + yearly salary with free health insurance, free housing in a Queen Anne Mansion, a vacation residence in Asheville NC in the Blue Ridge Mountains, a free security detail, being chauffeured around by the NCHP. I'd take that gig.

No matter what pathetic angle you try to use to downplay the disgraceful moves of Republicans in NC, the facts still remain. The things that they have done are not only jaw dropping, but they are going to be extremely hard to fix. I wonder what the good people of NC are going to have to say about this in '17? It kind of reminds me of SD when we the people vote on laws just to have our elected legislatiors rewrite them. I guess South Dakotans let them by with it, maybe North Carolinians will to?

From what I've read the animosity between the North Carolina Democrats and Republicans goes back decades and Trump being elected President has little or nothing to do with it. Also Republican Governors are a rare breed in NC and being a mayor from Charlotte did little to endear him to a statewide vote.

You're missing/ignoring my point. The citizens of NC may have boughten into Trump's lies, or had a strong enough desire to shakeup Washington to elect Trump. But they did not extend the same courtesy to their wing nut Governor. The band of misfits Trump is putting together may make the shenanigans in NC seem like child's play.
