trump praises Putin and Xi at Pennsylvania rally

EXACTLY! Their only chance to govern is by minority rule. The EC helps them do that.

proves the Founding Fathers were smarter than you.

They didn't want the most populous states deciding how the country was to be run.

They wanted to make sure the smaller states had a voice.

Voting for a Republican for president is the definition of insanity.

and voting for Hillary or Biden wasn't?

Along with the Senate and judiciary.

As with the election of a president, control of the Senate is determined by the states, not the people.

Judicial appointments are made by the president confirmed in the Senate – neither of which can reflect the will of the people.

With voter suppression efforts at the state level Republicans can manipulate the mechanics of the Federal government to establish and maintain the tyranny of Republican minority rule.

Insanity is often defined as doing the same thing over again expecting different results.

Voting for a Republican for president will result in the same failed, wrongheaded policies, the same foreign policy failures, the same economic disasters, and the same corruption and criminality.

Hence voting for a Republican for president is the definition of insanity.

Yep. A few CIA operatives have been murdered overseas in the past year. Guess who's responsible?

Brandon. But he really doesn't know what he's doing.

It’s classic rightwing Orwellian fascism: contrive an ‘enemy’ and stoke fear among the people of that ‘enemy’ to distract citizens from the neo-fascist right’s efforts to take from Americans their rights and liberties.

If 10’s of millions of mostly hispanic intruders were not flooding across the border then I would not be complaining about it

End the invasion and we can move on to other topics

We are a deeply divided nation and nothing I say is going the change that

You got that right.

Voting for a Republican for president is the definition of insanity.

Given that three of last four Republican Presidents have crashed the economy, after cutting taxes and ballooning the deficit, voting for another Republican President really is the definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result.

People respond by blaming Trump's crash on covid, but if Trump hadn't cut taxes and ballooned the deficit right before the pandemic, the economy would have been in a much stronger position to withstand the costs of covid.

And if Trump had controlled the outbreak instead of trying to achieve "herd immunity" the costs for testing and treatment would have been cut by 2/3 as well.

You really don't have a clue, do you?

Congressmen are elected by the people, presidents are elected by the states.

No, Presidents are elected by 5 states. Hardly what the Founders intended.

When the EC was created, the US economy was an agrarian economy. States with high value agricultural exports had much lower populations than the less wealthy or productive cities. It was essential to keep control of the country in the hands of the largest segment of the economy.

Today, agriculture is less than 5% of the US economy. The great cities are the engines of your economy today, especially those large coastal cities which function as shipping terminals for both imports and exports. Unfortunately, the needs of a large industrial and service based economy are being strangled and thwarted by the small states power in the EC and the Senate.

The result is not just "minority rule" using the disproportionate power of the low population states in elections for President and Senate, but it also allows the minority party to thwart anything the majority party wants to do, as we've seen with the Republicans since Obama was elected.

If you were to say that you're prepared to sit down and listen to Democrats, it would change that.

Which 5?

and shouldn't all 50 have input into who becomes president?

In any case its my nation not yours

So buzz off

It’s consistent with the blind partisan right’s authoritarianism and advocacy of the Imperial Presidency.

With control of the Executive Branch, authoritarian Republicans can rule via fiat, no need for compromise or consensus – just signing statements and executive orders advancing failed, wrongheaded rightwing dogma contrary to the will of the people.

Pathetic deflection attempt having nothing to do with the fact that you support Pedo Peter showering with his underage daughter. Cry harder while you flee from the truth some more.

WTF?
It was an eviction moratorium and the SCOTUS let Biden's moratorium stand until congress enacted it 2 months later, hardly ******* doctorial.

"The bulk of the constitutional scholars say it’s say it’s not likely to pass constitutional muster,” Biden said during his press conference announcing the new eviction moratorium before adding, “By the time it gets litigated, it will probably give [renters] some additional time.”

That's a direct quote from his (Biden's) press conference on the matter. So he knew what he was doing was illegal and unconstitutional but did it anyway. Sounds authoritarian to me. But he's your guy and what he did was a "good thing" so it's ok. If that's all you're going to post dont bother.

Because the whiny orange *****, didn't get his way, he made the entire country suffer.

WTF?
A twitter meme?
You're as delusional as Trump is.
Trump called for the arrest of his rivals.

This is just more "the guy on the other team is bad" crap. If that's all you have I'll add you to the pile of boring posters on this forum.

Trump compliments 'fierce' and 'smart' Putin and applauds Xi Jinping for ruling China with an 'iron fist'

Speaking at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, former President Donald Trump praised Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

This is the Leader of the repub party praising two Dictators. We know who he is.

Well if Poopeypants wasnt such a doofus maybe he would get some kudos too.

 

[jbrownson0831]

I have little doubt he is doing that. If the FBI has proof...he should executed.

Wow off your Midol again and the cramps are back....
