As the pettiest of all modern or maybe all presidents ever gets elected. LOL

Ukraine recently said they could make a nuke in a couple weeks if needed…

Trumps going to make that need a reality, so nuclear war just joined the likely list.

It’s baffling that with todays technology it hasn’t gone to mathematically distributed zones with none of the bullshit humans create, which can then be reviewed by a non partisan group to ensure nothing fucked up.

Anyone who gerrymanders (dem or gop) knows they’d lose if it happened.

Don’t even visit while pregnant.

Things can happen suddenly and you might not be able to get out to save your life.

How else do you end up with people like Clarence Thomas on the supreme court? Can’t be 0. They wanna be him.

Imagine submitting your name to be in a lottery, that isn’t a lottery and actually results in a background check on you to see if you’re who they’re looking for.

Insane.

Wonder if there was an employment contract to get the million.

Pretty sure it’s against the law to advertise something as a lottery/random and then it’s not.

Definitely scam

Correct, they draw crazy maps that try to put as many minorities as possible in as few districts as possible so their votes while concentrated and maybe get a seat or two, prevent getting many more seats that their votes and locations would warrant.

Make circular buttons with that text centered within a leopard print image behind it

Hopefully they can be moved

Ah thanks, I knew about this part “tne candidate was plotting treason, or has a heart attack.” but didn’t know the back story on that.

THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE SENATE

I really do get that, you don’t have to try and explain it again, but it doesn’t mean it’s serving the country any further, just like the electoral college isn’t severing the country or first past the post isn’t.

Things change, and it turns out that this system is allowing for the tyranny of minority which is ironically is the opposite of the intended effect of it preventing tyranny of the majority.

I’m not offering a solution, I’m just saying its a problem just like the others. Everything can be reformed if there a problems.

But yes as I said, fixing the house would be a start.

Bonus points if there’s a pet in the picture and you say they ate it that night.

we are not commuting by horseback any longer.

Is there some reference specifically to the electoral college and horses, or was this just about the passage of time?

Half of me thinks there was something very specific about horses and the college after you wrote that lol.

Its intended, but it’s still a problem. It gives disproportionate power to smaller states and it gets worse as certain areas grow and other don’t.

Wyoming with a population of 581k in 2022 wields as much power in the senate as California with 39 million.

And if you control either the house or senate, you can pretty much stall almost anything.

Even if we got rid of it, the senate is still non representative with small states wielding more power, and the house isn’t proportional because the seats are capped.

So much is fucked.

That’s happened with a night club here as well.

Night club exists for decades.

New condos go up around it.

Condo owners complain about noise.

I don’t really have much more to add, but just wanted to say I appreciated the conversation we had. This topic can often devolve and it’s nice that it didn’t.
