Everything Trump touches dies.

The less money he disburses , the more he can steal from with the side benefit of sticking it to the people who didn't vote for him. There is no limit of words to describe what a disaster of a human being this man is.

Minor quibble:

The Senate is VERY MUCH gerrymandered on a national level. Even deliberately so - The Dakota Territory was going through the process of becoming a state when it suddenly (?) occurred to them that if they became TWO states - North and South Dakota - they would get FOUR senators. So c. one and a half million people get twice as many Senators as the near forty million in California gets. Wyoming and Alaska are even worse.

Honestly, with this administration? Fucking myself is by far the better deal.

The Trump Administration is determined to be The Biggest Disaster of Them All, and why would you need relief from that?

I felt like this point needs to go on its own, but I think a lot of pundits are deliberately ignoring how utterly awful this political permission structure is.

Do people realize what would happen if Democrats anywhere decided they were going to utterly torment one of the unreconstructed states. The most left-wing of Democrats don't even do this. You don't see Ilhan Omar, AOC or the rest advocating for cutting off all aid to, say, Idaho!

The fact that this behavior is OK and not considered a reason for widespread condemnation of Republicans is particularly disgusting. I remember even getting lectures about how Democrats need to "respect" certain voters. The same voters cosigning shit like this. The pricktator even said with his own puckered anus mouth to Californians that he was going to torture their state, and they clapped for it!

Murc's Law is indeed Cruise Control for Cool. But it's also key to ruination of this country.

Pretty audacious considering the blue states are already paying for 70% of everything already.

It's mostly the blue states' money to begin with.

He is just evil. EVIL. And I don't even believe in evil.

Will democrats cave? I'm hoping not, but they seem woefully underprepared STILL(!) for just how weaselly, cruel, and deceptive the republican party is.

Anybody want to join the Army? I don't know but this kind of scares me.
