Donald Trump, who said in Pennsylvania on Sunday that he regrets leaving the White House in 2021, is ending the 2024 campaign the way he began it – dishing out a stew of violent, disparaging rhetoric and repeated warnings that he will not accept defeat if it comes.
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.
I agree. It’s fucked that a citizen in Wyoming has a vote weighted much more heavily than a citizen in California or New York.
However, as far as the Presidential race is concerned we have been screwed at least twice (Georgia G.W. Bush 2000, Trump 2016) by the electoral college usurping the mandate from the masses.
Gotta start somewhere. Out with the electoral college, we are not commuting by horseback any longer.
That's how the Senate is designed and intended. That's not the issue. The capped House functions as a second Senate because it no longer represents population correctly, because of that cap imposed in the 1920s.
The Senate was never meant to be proportionate, and that would be perfectly fine if the House was actually proportionate.
Edit: I'm not going to respond individually to the same point(s)... The US is a federation of states. Whether you like it or not, the country was set up this way on purpose. And believe it or not, there was a lot of thought put into it.
There would be zero point to having a bicameral congress where both houses were proportional representation. Why not just have one at that point?
Each state has its own legislative, executive, and judicial branches. They are each microcosms of a nation within the nation. The Governor is akin to the President. State legislatures are the same concept as federal legislatures, and state judiciary is analogous to the federal judiciary. But each state has some leeway in the actual specific ins and outs of how those positions operate. And it can vary slightly state by state. This has its pros and cons, but it was completely intentional.
It makes perfect sense to have a congressional house made up of representatives from each of those states to represent their state's interests in the federal legislature. The interests of a state as a whole do not always align 100% with the will of the people. People are stupid, and often wrong.
Does that make sense? It is one thing if you are advocating to eliminate the concept of states entirely. But as long as we have the federated system that we do, it makes complete sense to have a legislative body made up of two representatives from each of those states.
It's the paradox of the modern conservative; simultaneously gun toting manly men with no time for woke libtard cucks and also the whiniest bunch of snowflake piss babies ever to walk the earth.
“I shouldn’t have left. I mean, honestly, because we did so, we did so well,” Trump said during his rally in Lititz as he claimed the US-Mexico border was more secure under his administration.
It was a rare public admission of regret over participating in the peaceful transfer of power after he incited his supporters to violently storm the US Capitol as he tried to subvert the results of the 2020 election that he lost but refused to concede — something Trump is currently facing federal charges over.
Old White Man Getting Stomped By A Brown Woman Prosecutor Is A Challenge To Your No Nut November
Pretty sure that's the only reason he left. He would've been literally dragged out of there, and facing up to a hard reality of an embarrassing moment for him was the only thing that registered in his pea brain so he had to avoid it.
Thats the thing everyone forgets. He never planned on winning. He didnt want to win. Go watch him right after they announced victory. The man was lost. The plan was always do the show circuit and play victim and rake in the money without any responsibility for his shitty actions.
He didnt want it either, but all that is left is toperpetually double down. And here we are...
I wonder how many people would still be alive of he'd done that, between pandemic mismanagement, vaccine hesitancy that he championed, and various other things that don't come to mind off the top of my head, he's got a significant amount of blood on his hands, directly and indirectly.
“Arnold Palmer was all man, and I say that in all due respect to women, I love women,” Trump said. “This man was strong and tough, and I refused to say it, but when he took showers with the other pros they came out of there, they said, ‘Oh, my God. That’s unbelievable.’”
Is he trying to pull the Johnson power move but the best he can do is talk about someone who had a large cock? Or are these ramblings of a man sinking deeper into dementia and losing what remained of his filter and just talking about what's on his mind? Or maybe it's a power move by Putin and he ordered Trump to humiliate himself to show someone else that he pulls Trump's strings? Or... Maybe a power move Trump is using to say it doesn't matter what he says at this point since he's intending to try to loophole his way into the presidency rather than get elected in?
Kinda fucked that all of those seem plausible.
Not that it wasn't meaningless toxic bullshit when Johnson whipped his cock out to settle disagreements or do whatever the fuck he was trying to do when he did that.
Shouldn't have left? As if he had a choice - if necessary he would have been carried out.
On the plus side it's nice to see him telegraph that he knows he is about to lose. IDK how this shit-for-brains moron was such a good con man. Everything he says is a tell.
