Gerrymandering makes hypocrisy a political punch line

[Nostra]

And it does not mean he did not.

It does not look good for him.

Dems are back over 30%, Trump is at 19% on the Epstein issue, has been as low as 37% overall.

Yeah, all is groovy for him.

Lies.

I guess he won't win re-election in 2028.

He won't be President in 2029 even he ran in 2028 and won.

He won't be President in 2029 even he ran in 2028 and won.

That U.S. Constitution thingy... says he can't be President again, nor would I want him to be. I see Vance/Rubio as a fairly smart ticket for the Republicans.

It would be far better than what we have.

They are Trump-contaminated to the great majority in America, however.

The next time some of you board Repubs are sitting around with fellow R's talking politics, asking yourselves what we Dem's mean by saying trump is destroying democracy, the TX gerrymander gambit is a perfect example.

Note to Dem's. It is time to recognize nothing less than the fate of the country is at stake here. It is time to put quaint notions of comity and fair play aside. TX Repub's, at trump's request, have announced to the world there is nothing they won't do to take and keep power. Absolutely nothing. We have to be prepared to meet the moment head on.

We are, in CA, and will in IL and NY.

The Dems will take the House and have a good chance at the Senate.

Explain to the class how the GOP plan to gerrymander TX to pick up a few seats destroys democracy, but the Democrats gerrymandering -9- states to eliminate GOP house seats from said states does not.

The quantity of irony in the above paragraph cannot be overstated.

Democrats invented gerrymandering. Eldridge Gerry was a democrat. Hypocrite democrats gerrymandered themselves into a state majority in half a dozen states.

You started this round, and we will finish it with your knockout, MAGAts.

Disingenuous. This bulshit is old.

This is about Trump calling a governor interfering in state electoral business.

In Big Win for Voters, Utah Supreme Court Upholds Block on Gerrymandered Congressional Map​

The Utah Supreme Court Monday denied the state legislature’s petition to keep its gerrymandered congressional map in place for upcoming elections and ordered lawmakers to present a new map by Sept. 25.

The decision likely ensures that Utahns will have fair districts when they go to the polls next year, and could give Democrats an additional seat in Congress.

The League of Women Voters of Utah, the Mormon Women for Ethical Government and individual voters filed a lawsuit in 2022 challenging the GOP-controlled legislature’s new congressional map and the repeal of Proposition 4, a ballot initiative passed in 2018 that created an independent redistricting commission composed of citizens.

A district court ruled last month the 2021 map unconstitutionally violated the redistricting reforms voters approved through Proposition 4, and it developed a plan to put in place a new map in time for the 2026 election. The court also denied the legislative defendants’ motion to keep the 2021 map in place throughout the remedial process and any appeals – a ruling they appealed to the Utah Supreme Court.

It's imperative that the courts continue to block POT efforts to cheat their way in to permanent power.

As with so many anti-democratic things going on in the era of trumpery mid-decade gerrymandering gets added to the list.
