The country had a clown doing reconstruction after the Civil War when what should have happened was hanging the traitors and letting Sherman raze his way to the sea and back a few times.
Oh well, at least surely we will not again make the same mistake of coddling the leaders of insurrections.
You're not wrong. I think districts have to be roughly equal population within a state. But California needs like 17 more spots for their votes to equal Wyoming's votes for the House. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyoming_Rule
Fuck me, I completely forgot that. He fucked up directly with coronavirus so hard, it had completely slipped my mind that he dismantled the pandemic response for no reason other than to spite Obama. He is a fractal fuckup. You can zoom in at any scale and see the same fuckups, narcissism, and corruption.
This is the correct perspective. Mike Pence is a weird and cowardly shithead who decided to get off the crazy train at that stop. There were hundreds of previous stops that would have been appropriate exits. HIV enthusiast making sure people in Indiana get infected. Looks and personally of a Q-Tip.
If they want to harvest data and influence politics they will have to pay an American billionaire to do so, like Russia and everyone else does. Good work, Congress.
They don't live in that reality. What you have to understand about conservatives is that they have an enlarged fear center in the brain and they value white supremacist hierarchy over any other thing, even truth.
They know for a fact that their guy did actual crimes and they just don't care. They understand that storing Top Secret documents next to the bathroom copier is worse than the unsecured email server they were screeching about in 2016.
If you consider a perspective where white supremacist hierarchy is more important than truth or integrity, all their behavior magically starts making sense.
I think for the same reason that kids bully their classmates. Some sick power trip over getting away with blatant lies and smug satisfaction from pretending to have the moral high ground. That's what the Trumpanzees like to see. I don't believe for a second they actually think he is innocent.
As opposed to continuing to live with no consequences other than forced to attend the occasional courtroom hearing? You or I would have been jailed instantly and forever for leading an insurrection against the United States. Everyone can see there are zero consequences.
In some states, it is illegal to keep the security deposit unless there's been actual damage beyond normal wear-and-tear. The landlord would have to sue and would only be able to claim actual losses. Know your rights.
The Senate is gerrymandering if you have an unnecessary number of Dakotas, which we do.
51% Repub states end up with 2 Repub senators instead of a bipartisan pair and that's not gerrymandering? This whole damn country is a gerrymander.
