The "rich" states pay their states their GDP's through the "rich" states taxes through subsidies, etc. so no? I mean, I think it's a false equivalence either way - we should be helping all Americans (and people) everywhere, and so no one should be lording over anyone else, rich states or red neck states. One person, one vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewhyteboar Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Blue states don't vote 100% for a Democrat, nor do Red states vote 100% for a Republican. All the Electoral College does is disenfranchise millions of southern black voters and millions of rural whites. It's a ridiculous, outdated system that even the some Founders turned on. It immediately led to numerous electoral crises and should have been repealed 200 years ago. There's not a single argument for the Electoral College that holds any water.

outsida Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Here’s an argument for the electoral college: In the past 30 years a republican has only won the popular vote once yet has served 3 presidential terms vs Democrats 4. How else will the party of white males rule this country? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaysWho? Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Trump Ramps Up Attacks On John McCain By Dragging Senator’s Exhumed Corpse Behind Motorcade Quote “I’m having some trouble understanding the strategy behind unearthing the body of this true American hero, chaining it to the bumper of a limousine, and driving it around our nation’s capital,” said Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), who added that shackling McCain’s half-decomposed remains by the neck to the presidential state car and speeding through D.C.’s most pothole-ridden streets would only serve to distract people from Trump’s important policy initiatives. “It’s not only counterproductive, but an insult to John McCain’s memory to see his lifeless body bouncing and flailing across the National Mall like that. It certainly wasn’t necessary for them to exceed 55 miles on the Beltway. I’d really prefer if the president refrained from such conduct.” Further perfection by choosing Mitt Romney.

PaladinSolo Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Trump is taking the deficit to new heights, hit 234 billion dollars last month, outpacing any month during the recession. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/the-government-ran-a-544-billion-deficit-over-the-first-5-months-of-the-fiscal-year/2019/03/22/932d3438-4cc8-11e9-9663-00ac73f49662_story.html?utm_term=.b87a67698ef8 The government spent $234 billion more than it brought in through tax receipts last month, much more than the deficit levels hit even during the global financial crisis. In the first five months of the fiscal year, the government has spent $544 billion more than it brought in through tax receipts, Treasury said Friday. The $544 billion deficit is up 39 percent from the same period one year ago. For February, the government spent $401 billion and brought in $167 billion in revenue. Tax numbers are traditionally weak in February because many Americans seek tax refunds, but February’s tax receipts were lower than the government received in 2016.

Anathema- Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 The rumblings about how he hasn't tweeted for a while probably got to him and so we get this pressured-sounding "good morning!" like a dope.

Chairslinger Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 You can run yourself in circles trying to figure what he means. To me, it kind of sounds like gloating. Like maybe he feels he got some good news with an update on the report. But then you look at last week, with the hindsight that maybe he also got some preliminary word at the time, and he is ranting about how Rosenstein and Mueller were never elected, and how can they do anything to him after winning the greatest election ever(he wraps himself up in that election win like Linus's blanket). So it sounds like maybe he got some bad news. So who knows. We don't have long to wait, if Barr was to be believed(and really, I am not sure why he would set the deadline for himself unless he was confident of meeting it).
