    Trump has lost the popular vote in two elections by a combined 11 million votes. He will lose this election's popular vote by 4-5 million, in all probability. Americans don't like him, or what he is selling. Yet he is protected by the electoral college, which rewards candidates who get a minority of the vote.

    Democrats have to make a Constitutional amendment to eliminate the electoral college a top priority.

    You can want something all you want, but that doesn’t mean it’ll happen.

    Oh wait, I’m being a Chicken Little. Sorry. Carry on.

    Well, you've got to start with two-thirds of both houses of Congress to pass it first.

    It's gotta be like sports wagering, right? Trying to attract enough money to both sides?

    It just dawned on me that the Electoral College might be the biggest gerrymander ever.

    I’m a little slow.

    The Republicans say they are ok with immigration as long as they come here legally.

    The Haitians in Springfield came here legally. What, exactly, is the problem?

    Legal immigration is immigration by other white people. All the rest is illegal.

    That's a great point. I delete texts asking me who I'm voting for and never answer unfamiliar phone numbers. Nor do I take online polls or surveys from anyone or anything unless there's a free sandwich or something at the end (I never fail to take a Chick-fil-A survey if offered).

    They were the band who made a political movement out of white racial resentment, economic anxiety, fear and celebrity. Led by their grotesque leader Donny, their songs would define a new era of politics. But behind the band's fearsome stage appearances questions lingered over whether the group was an overdone one-hit wonder....or something more sinister. This is the danger, psychosis and political rollercoaster ride that defined Donny and Co. This is MAGA. The story behind the music.

    I'd like to congratulate the Senate for filling a District court seat that had been vacant since late December 2019. And a big FU to Ron Johnson for making the wait this long.
