Yes, it's a cluster fuck. But none of it would be happening if even Ohio's maps represented the will of the people. That alone would put ~ five more D seats there.

Fix the maps. Fix the problem.

States like PA and GA are also the same. Just this last election they gerrymandered one dem seat out of GA.

NC as well.

If each state under question only gained one D seat, the problem goes away. By vote count, each state should probably gain 4-5.

Why is everyone running? I was told the more guns there are, the safer everyone is.

if there aren't enough "good guys with guns" at a Texas State Fair to prevent this,
then that entire argument need never be uttered again.
That "argument" should have never been uttered.

What kind of silly question is that? Always money for war!

Don’t ask about healthcare, poverty reduction, drug treatment, public transit, etc. though. Whose taxes are we raising for that?!

Israel's GDP per capita is about the same as Canada and Germany. They have a large corporate base. Their budget is healthy.

Yet nobody asks why the US has to apparently have funds at the ready for Israel's war machine, they just flat out ask "you guys are good for this, right?".

When you want to stay the "world power" it is just assumed, especially when it is a perceived "bad man" by US standards.
Also the industrial complex/corporate machine in play here will make sure of this as all the government insider trading is vested in these areas.

The whole thing is inane and asking that question was just silly as you stated.

Speaking of bad spending...



Real question though, what in the hell are they spending it all on when absolutely everything in this country is worse than it was when these people were elected?

Took on massive debt for CEBA / CERB programs, and then coat to service that debt went way way way up. So that's a good start.

And I would still vote for these idiots over Peter Pepper

Yeah, if only his finance minister had warned him about all that spending.

It's a double-edged sword. I don't think LPC clears house without Pierre Pickles taking the country for a ride. Necessary evil at this point.

After Trump gets hit with partial gag order - If Biden gets banned - free speech and all of that, right?
