Republicans make the Case Against Themselves

North Carolina Republicans, in making their case to the Supreme Court, which they won, that their gerrymandered districts were not racially motivated but instead were intentionally politically motivated unintentionally made a case against themselves as it turns out politically motivated maps violates the North Carolina Constitution as determined by North Carolina's Superior Court. Too smart for their own good it seems. Why not just not gerrymander to begin with. If you can't win except for by cheating then you don't deserve to govern at all. Colorado just passed a law that calls for 3 democrats, 3 republicans and 3 independents to come up with the next maps. Everyone has to give a little to get a little. It's called fairness.

The money quote was:

One of the map’s principal drafters boasted in 2016 that he had given Republicans a 10-to-3 edge in seats “because I do not believe it’s possible to draw a map with 11 Republicans and two Democrats.”

Did Trump Actually Say this?

"Standing in solidarity with our nation's seniors, I declare once again that America will never be a socialist country," Trump said earlier this month at a speech to elderly voters in Florida. "Democratic health care proposals would put everyone in a socialist government program."

I could not find a video for it but if he did say that and the elderly cheered which I'm sure they would have. Do they not know that Medicare and Social Security are socialist programs?

You can't fix stupid.

Trump's Legacy

What is going on? This can't be real life anymore

You can claim victory, even if it's not true? We are in Trump's Universe now, is there a way out? Love the comments that follow. I claim I am 6'5" and 250 lbs with six pack abs.
