    TRUMP "MISSED THE DEADLINE" TO CALL OFF TX GERRYMANDERING; CALIFORNIA WILL NOW DRAW NEW, MORE “BEAUTIFUL MAPS”

    I was simply calling out your false assertion that they've "play[ed] by the rules". We just have two parties doing whatever it takes for them to win. Fair and honest elections are nothing more than afterthought.

    TRUMP "MISSED THE DEADLINE" TO CALL OFF TX GERRYMANDERING; CALIFORNIA WILL NOW DRAW NEW, MORE “BEAUTIFUL MAPS”

    The idea that the Democrats have "play[ed] by the rules" concerning gerrymandering is laughable nonsense.

    Yes. But that nobility apparently has limits. Integrity means something to me. Rs certainly don't have any. Ds like to pretend they do, but only so far as it benefits them.

    TRUMP "MISSED THE DEADLINE" TO CALL OFF TX GERRYMANDERING; CALIFORNIA WILL NOW DRAW NEW, MORE “BEAUTIFUL MAPS”

    And move back to "whatever it takes" politics. We're saying the same thing. You and I are both acknowledging what's happening. But it seems Ds want it both ways. They want to be seen as the noble ones who want to abide by the rules, but they're more than willing to toss those rules, that they...

    I assume you meant "they're running it by the voters". Which, as I'm sure you know, they have to if they want to return to partisan gerrymandering.

    TRUMP "MISSED THE DEADLINE" TO CALL OFF TX GERRYMANDERING; CALIFORNIA WILL NOW DRAW NEW, MORE “BEAUTIFUL MAPS”

    Right. The Ds don't want gerrymandering, but they'll happily gerrymander if the Rs gerrymander. California is ready to toss out everything they've done to eliminate gerrymandering and return to gerrymandered districts that will benefit the Ds. But they really don't want to, you see. They have...

    TRUMP "MISSED THE DEADLINE" TO CALL OFF TX GERRYMANDERING; CALIFORNIA WILL NOW DRAW NEW, MORE “BEAUTIFUL MAPS”

    Right. Democrats are opposed to gerrymandering, so I've heard. But not really. FTR, this kind of rank hypocrisy plays horribly with independents. It confirms what we already knew; both parties will do whatever it takes to stay in power. The illusion that anyone cares about fair and honest...

    TRUMP "MISSED THE DEADLINE" TO CALL OFF TX GERRYMANDERING; CALIFORNIA WILL NOW DRAW NEW, MORE “BEAUTIFUL MAPS”

    Or IOW, It's time for Democrats to "go low". You just told me they're going to do the same. Isn't that what you mean by "it's time to take the gloves off"? Right. No one's going to follow the rules.

    Survey reveals 47% of Republicans would still vote for Trump even if connected to Epstein's crimes

    My wife and I got married one month after she graduated high school, which was also two days after her 19th birthday. I was 21. Both sets of our parents had to talk to the hotel for us to book a room for our wedding night. Age of consent laws are important, but exemptions are important for...

    Survey reveals 47% of Republicans would still vote for Trump even if connected to Epstein's crimes

    Agreed. Without the so-called "Romeo and Juliet" exemptions, high schools would be full of statutory rapists. In PA, the age of consent laws are: Children less than 13 years old cannot grant consent to sexual activity. Teens between the ages of 13 and 15 cannot consent to sexual activity with...

    I didn't. Clearly, you no longer agree that when they go low, you go high. Ergo, everyone's going low. Whee! Nope. It's pretty obvious that's what's going on here. Please spare me the histrionics. I haven't "sown" anything. Hyperbole much? I don't even know what you're referring to. Not...

    TRUMP "MISSED THE DEADLINE" TO CALL OFF TX GERRYMANDERING; CALIFORNIA WILL NOW DRAW NEW, MORE “BEAUTIFUL MAPS”

    Newsom vs. The Terminator! Newsom’s move has drawn criticism from some notable figures — perhaps no one more so than former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R), who has threatened to campaign against the plan, according to Politico. “He calls gerrymandering evil, and he means that. He thinks it’s...

    TRUMP "MISSED THE DEADLINE" TO CALL OFF TX GERRYMANDERING; CALIFORNIA WILL NOW DRAW NEW, MORE “BEAUTIFUL MAPS”

    This seems to be a tacit admission that neither side is even pretending to care about the rules or democracy any more. I guess it's good that the facade has been shattered.

    Survey reveals 47% of Republicans would still vote for Trump even if connected to Epstein's crimes

    Tennessee's age of consent is 18, but there is a "close-in-age exemption", or a "Romeo and Juliet law" to protect prosecution of underage couples who are 1) close in age and 2) engage in consensual sex.

    Survey reveals 47% of Republicans would still vote for Trump even if connected to Epstein's crimes

    Then the article itself is wrong also. The pollsters could have avoided this ambiguity by instead asking, If Donald Trump WAS FOUND GUILTY in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking activities, would this make you more likely to vote for another party, or would it not affect your vote for Donald...
