President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
What would those provisions be? I agree this is an issue, but I don't see a way to legislate our way out of it on a federal level.
I am far from an election law expert, but here is an example of what has been proposed.
let’s say you get rid of gerrymandering on a federal level, and a state level. what stops cities to just divide themselves in a partisan way, or expand their incorporation outward to include more rural areas? or to incorporate within a municipality creating pockets of more conservative or progressive?
Why would these things necessarily be a workaround of anti-gerrymandering laws? As far as I know, there is no iron rule of state redistricting that requires adherence to city boundaries or other municipal divisions.
Trump sniffing around at The Falklands now.
Real desperate to get some kind of a win (over the 3.5k people and 1.2m penguins)
Not a fat lot he can do there, as HM Government has pointed out. Nor can he eject Spain from NATO as his idiotic placemen are suggesting. If the vaunted US Constitution doesn't permit the removal of this failing dotard, that's America's problem. No point trying to make it everyone else's.
The Constitution allows it but the elected representatives dont have the constitution to do it.

They wouldn’t necessarily, but many states consider political boundaries. I should have pointed out that this is an example of how gerrymandering can be reintroduced in other parts of the system of re-districting.
Political boundaries
The next most common state rule is a requirement to follow political boundaries, like county, city, town, or ward lines, when drawing districts. By state constitution or statute, 34 states require state legislative districts to show some accounting for political boundaries; 15 states impose similar constraints on congressional districts. Most often, state law concerning political boundaries leaves a fair amount of flexibility in the mandate — one common instruction is to keep to political boundaries “to the extent practicable.” And like all other state redistricting law, this rule must bend where necessary to federal equal population or Voting Rights Act constraints.
It is worth remembering that some cities or towns spill over county lines; even though counties are usually bigger than cities, keeping strictly to county lines may mean cutting off pieces of these “spillover” cities or metropolitan areas.
Also, if counties or cities have to be split to comply with other redistricting requirements, most state law does not specify whether it is better to minimize the number of jurisdictions that are split, or to minimize the number of times that a given jurisdiction is split. The former might mean splitting a few jurisdictions into many pieces; the latter might mean splitting a greater number of jurisdictions, but into fewer pieces. (As an exception to the general flexibility, Ohio has a rather detailed set of constraints describing how counties and other municipalities are to be split if they have to be split at all.)

The point is that gerrymandering is a symptom of a larger problem which is partisanship, which has no easy answer.
Definitely rationing out the Adderall for speaking engagements only.
We vote these 80 year olds in and then seem shocked that they can't stay awake or complete a sentence. This is exactly the behavior if youre lucky to reach that age because most 80 year old men are dead.
Ok, I admit I am premature in saying he is "done" ending DEI/racism. Obviously both DEI and racism are way down since he took office, but I don't think we will ever be done trying to get rid of racism. I think you could argue that there has been a massive long-term trend of racism going down in America for over 100 years, but it is worth noting that prior to trump's 2nd term we
Data shows the exact opposite. The % of white christians who say whites are discriminated against or christians are discriminated against has steadily risen over the last decade and is at all time highs right now. This is true for other demographics as well but Trump's own base views themselves as victims of racism far more now after Trump became president the first time.

Of course he’s falling asleep, he’s up all night tweeting.
We should have a maximum age restriction. 65 seems about right.
BTW…Trump is quite energetic for an 80 year old.
Biden was an embarrassing old man.

Or you could vote for the person most likely to improve "the country", not for the one who mirrors your own hatred and prejudices.
But that might be too grown up for someone as infantilised as you.
I'd have fallen asleep in that meeting since I was a child.
More of a wonder to me is how people stay awake
