Comments for Carolyn Garris: A long line of disrespect for the law and proper procedures | Eastern North Carolina Now

Steed: Truth be told, I'd say that Trump is the reason why the GOP is split three ways. You've got the everyday GOP, you got the MAGA Republican crowd and then you've got the younger to middle age crowd that's burning Trump on his wishy washy stance on the SARS-COV-2 "vaccines", his comments about how Israel ("New Khazaria" as it used to be listed on old maps) should be immune from the International courts and his "Freedom Cities" (the same thing as a 15 minute city but sounds better to the voter).

This presents a big problem that nobody talks about. Democrat numbers are low but so are Republican numbers across the board which is why Trump and Kennedy will push the third party. They know that the old system is effed and that most of their base/former base will not accept it because some of them are smart. They've figured out the consent is everything in this game and that if people dont consent, the dominoes will fall.

I'd be careful about pushing Trump. He's upset the wrong group.

Big Bob: You have many syndromes that range well beyond TDS.

Big Bob: Translation for you as resident troll, an alias: You absolutely know nearly nothing of how real things work, yet your comments are constant, and are of little to NO value to real people who actually know what is real.

Gary Patrick Tucker: I have absolutely no problem with the "rich tapestry of perspectives in Beaufort County," in fact, I embrace it. Where my problem lies with what you are referring as the "5-2" is that there has been in Beaufort County politics, for decades, is a misrepresentation of presentation of who is who, and what is what. From a functional perspective, this ongoing paradigm of fakery, there has been: corruption in order for individual politicians to succeed; the bipartisan coalition of vote swapping for power sharing between parties; in remaining elected; with the end result is a branding problem individually and collectively.

All I am doing as a politician, and, moreover, a journalist is that I point out what is true and what is real. So, within that "rich tapestry of perspectives in Beaufort County," what I represent to the public is the perspective of honest discourse, and clarity of purpose, to which i encourage others to do the same.

You see, if one is to be that political voice for their constituents, it is better to be an honest one. Singularly, if one is to believe in something such as the Republican Party of Beaufort County, then it needs to be real in its pursuits, which it clearly is not.

To that end, in the election process, where there are two functioning political parties, both with platforms of ideals and conduct of elected officials: there are the Democratic Socialists and there are the Republicans here in the county of Beaufort. I am not in charge of this construct, and generally have had little time to help forge those collected rules for the Republicans; however, I know what they are, and I do abide by those idyllic rules of political purpose. In turn, I expect fellow Republicans to do the same.

When that does not occur, and then, first there exists a cover up, which then becomes a collective lie, the truth will be told by those who are honest for the public has not only a right to know, moreover, the public is charged with a responsibility to know what is true and what is real. That is the only construct where the self-governed can continue to exist within the framework of a Representative Republic.

That is, in part, why the First Amendment provides for a Free Press. In the Public Square of Ideals only truth can exist for wisdom to flourish.

If I am wrong Gary Patrick Tucker, please tell me where and how, and please be specific.

I was interested in Mr. Richardson’s comment about the minutes, so I checked. The meeting in question is from October 12, 2021.

It’s true. Ask any Native American. White peoples love their paper, until they don’t.

Response to Mr. Deatherage: No, sir. I'm not referring to the illuminati when I'm talking about "5-2". "5-2" is the number you yourself gave out when you were categorizing your fellow commissioners. It tells me and everybody else with a good third eye that somebody's getting nervous because the bettin' odds don't look to good for the small group Hood and yourself represent. I'm not being funny when I say that either.

It's a shame that our county couldn't put together a dream team to carry on after 2020.

HR's attack on Carolyn is uncalled for and typical. Zero people skills.

What I'm saying is 5-2, Mr. Deatherage. That's a generous number. A lot of people don't want to be real and really say what is scaring the GOP. A lot has happened since 2020 and people have noticed things they usually wouldn't before.

The younger people aren't flocking to either of the parties and the lifeline's ran out on MAGA for the most part. People my age and younger are of the opinion that Trump is the good cop and Biden the bad cop with both being decoys for something else that people are waking up to.

There are no Democrats and Republicans now really. It's people who know it's all a crap show versus people who still believe a fairy tale of the old days. They won't change and won't let it happen meanwhile the good people on both sides are ready to get on with business.

To answer your question again: 5-2. That's what my other comment has to do with the board.

Big Bob, the woman it happened to didn’t think it was wacky. What about the woman he tried to assault at the convention.

Response to Washingtonian. Just for clarification, no deeds or recorded documents were discarded. There was a lot of trash in the basement. NC Archives reviewed everything in the basement. I repeat, no Deeds were discarded. By the way, all books are backed up on microfilm and are stored at NC Archives starting with Book 1. If you have any questions, please feel free to visit the Register of Deeds office or give us a call. Specifically,
