  1. Get ready. Numbers out showing wholesale prices up 6%. This is what happens when a criminal operation is put in the White House led by a lifelong conman that’s built an empire on fraud. “Starting on Day One, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring the prices down on all goods.” - 8/9/24 at Bozeman, MT rally “Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down and we will make America affordable again.” “We’re going to get your energy prices down. We’re going to get your energy prices down by 50%.” - both at an 8/17/24 Wilkes-Barre, PA rally. “Energy is going to bring us back up. That means we’re going down and getting gasoline below $2 a gallon, bring down the price of everything from electricity rates to groceries, airfares, and housing costs.” - 9/5/24 Economic Club of New York Of course, I could go the same with the Epstein files, but instead this Administration chooses a criminal cover-up in a situation where Trump’s name is mentioned at this point 38,000 times. This is what happens when you elect a person who has been a con man his entire life.
  2. Just as true now as in 1963
  3. He wasn’t paying taxes then. His father and possibly was. Trump was not aware of such things. And RedLining was a real thing then. Gotta keep the undesirables out of the neighborhood and the women barefoot and pregnant
  4. I'm thinking most of the posting is voice to text.
  5. He's made it trashier...
  6. I agree. It was what was happening between pitches that slowed the game. Pitchers gardening on the mound (so to speak) Batters stepping out, straightening their batting gloves, etc. It doesn’t matter if it’s a few more hits, or strikeouts, as long as there is some sort of action
  7. Right after Canada, Cuba, Greenland..... Grandpa needs a long nap in his underground "Balltoom"
  8. Never does his homework. An underling also failed for adding in his notes who the coach was...
  9. Or maybe some of us decided we can't afford to properly raise another human or two. Or realized that we weren't properly wired...or something.
  10. The man needs a Dave Ramsey intervention. Make him pay out of his grift filled coffers. Trump is a tenant, not the owner
  11. He's spending like a drunken sailor.
  12. May 11 https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/may-11?cmpid=email-hist-tdih-2026-0511-05112026&om_rid=&~campaign=hist-tdih-2026-0511
  13. If we used Wyoming as a base. The number of seats would expand to 580. That seems doable to me.
  14. That's where proportional voting comes into play. Third parties would have a better chance of representation. Especially in multi member districts.
  15. I have no issue against districts. Or even multi districts. I'm not sure there is a perfect system that can't be gamed in some way. Just my belief that if I live in ab state that usually votes 55-45 in statewide contests, representatives should be proportioned that way. The problem is that land gets in the way. If multimember districts restrict the number of reps from the various parties in a particular race and start forcing us (voters, citizens, whatever) to form coalitions.. But then if men were angels... Jefferson and Adams had to go and screw things up. If they hadn't someone else would have...
  16. Looks like gerrymandering. Especially since the most recent statewide elections seem to be close to a 50-50 split. And I still prefer multi-member districts with proportionality
  17. As I said before, everything in gerrymandered in some way. With proportional voting even an R-10 district can elect a D. Given the D gets enough votes to meet the threshold. We're talking about 2 or more reps here. Especially if you include ranked choice voiting. OR YOU comenup with a better system instead of criticizing everything
  18. Just about any district drawing can be construed as gerrymandering to some people. We also can argue that "independent commissions" can be guilty as well. Let's for example divide Michigan into regions with multiple members, giving candidates x number of seats proportionally. 1) Metro Detroit..5 seats. It's usually a 70/30 split Democrats to Republicans...it would come to a 4-1 Dem/Rep House spit 2) West Michigan (Grand Rapids area) 3 seats, 55-45 Republican/Democrat 2/1 Republican House Advantage... 3)Mid Michigan..(Lansing, Flint, Saginaw). 3 seats..usually a 50-50 Split depending on year. Winning party gets 2 seats Upper Michigan (Everything else) 2 seats. usually a 60/40 split. Depending on margin of victory winning party would get two seats (or split one seat each) Include third parties in the process if they receive a certain percentage of votes...everyone usually gets some representation. Tell me where the gerrymandering is here?
  19. Hence my argument for multi member ditricts, proportional voting...
  20. I've just about come around to accept the idea of multi member congressional districts, Or some sort of proportional voting and representation. cut the number of districts in half or thirds, then vote for multi members. Or something close to that. The current system is wrecked,
