President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Like the blue laws, the electoral college is out of context today. As I wrote, the ratio of people to representation was significantly different when they he electoral college was fashioned. Placed back in context, the law is fine. In Constitutional legal terms the electoral college is constitutional per se, but not as applied.

 

Today, the main function of the Electoral College is to overrepresent the more rural voters in the center of the nation so that those state’s politicians will have more power to whine about being underrepresented.

 

FATUS and SHS...c*nts of a feather slime together

 

I'm heartened to see even the evangelicals start to realize they can't ignore the lack of integrity and lies any longer:

Trump Should Be Removed from Office

 

And this is why I'm glad I gave money to his opponent even though I have never lived in Kentucky.

 

"Hey, church folks, here's the quid pro quo."

 

Some of the more moderate evangelicals, anyway. The Atlantic has a good interview with the author.

"Green: Do you feel that you’re out of step with the body of evangelicals in the United States—and particularly white evangelicals—who are mostly supportive of Trump?

Galli: Yeah. That’s just a fact of life. At least as long as I’ve been editor in chief, I’ve never imagined that we at Christianity Today speak for all evangelicals. We speak for moderate, center-right, and center-left evangelicals. The far right—they don’t read us. They don’t care what we think. They think we’ve been co-opted by liberalism. So I understand that we do not represent the entire movement. And anyone who thinks that CT does, that’s just not the case."

How Trump Lost an Evangelical Stalwart

 

Or the environment!

 

100 abortions, Fatfuck. At least.

 

400 million guns

 

Here's something everybody can agree on: If the Electoral College were to go away, the polling industry would be in deep trouble. State-by-state polling would disappear.
Also bummed out: network TV. John King and his Magic Wall would be kaput.
