In America they have   Bob Hope, Johnny Cash, and Stevie Wonder.

In Australia we have  No hope, No cash...and no bloody wonder!

Wish we in Australia had Trump!

We had Hope, Cash, and still have Wonder. As Redd will tell you, we have Jobs, even though we no longer have Jobs.

Increasingly, under this president, we have Hurt. There's plenty of Gore from the gun deaths. Our Bridges are falling apart, even if we still have Bacon.

But as everybody who plays bridge will tell you, no trump is worth more than any trump.

p.s. Your desire for for Trump probably explains why you have had Major problems.

Trump and his family lied.

Gee, what a surprise.

As sanity spreads, the terrible people are more and more prone to resort to desperate harmful bullshit.

As the good man has been saying,

Achtung!

Thanks for the great link Josh!

I find the dirty amoral machinations of the deeply incestuous trump klan to be morbidly fascinating, like watching rats breed among mouldering corpses.

Trump is a designation signifying that you default to being any petty criminal’s absolute bitch.

The stain goes back generations.

”America has one party built on territory and another built on people.”

You can smell the desperation in this ad from Sheldon Adelson’s Trump SuperPAC.

LOL
Another bogus excuse added to the list of why democrats have lost power.

That rural voters have more electoral clout than urban is a long established fact, heavily documented here and elsewhere for years.  Red states also have disproportionate representation in the Senate, such that 30% of the U.S. population will have 70% of Senators in a few years. 

A counteracting force, so far as party power goes, is that some red states are experiencing a "Beto" effect and swinging more to blue.  Even South Dakota, this year, has a Democratic gubernatorial candidate neck and neck with the GOP candidate.  Hastening this process is the Trump policy on tariffs and trade war.  We have people in my state who are watching their soybeans rot because they can't sell them.  And paying more for new equipment, due to the effect on steel prices.  The Repube scammers can't fool the people forever.

That is not only untrue it is stupid.

Red states also have disproportionate representation in the Senate, such that 30% of the U.S. population will have 70% of Senators in a few years. 

And 8 states will have 50 per cent of the population.( 7 are reliably blue or purple)
We have a system of government that accounted for the conflict and served us well.
In addition the Constitution was written so the provision calling for an equal number of Senators per state cannot be changed.

A nuanced and persuasive argument and mustering of pertinent facts.  Do you have a newsletter I could subscribe to?

I was not criticizing the Constitutional mandate for the Upper House.  An obvious path to more balanced representation of the population in the Senate would be to break up the most heavily populated states.

Why would any state want to break itself into parts? There is no guarantee that the increase in Senators would change the total electoral count. There is every reason to believe the people would not be better served.
A more intelligent path is to leave things alone.
Hillary lost the Electoral College by losing 6 states that Obama won.  Only one, Iowa, was a small Electoral one. It seems rather obvious that after 2008 the voters have been rejecting democrats.

Support republicans, support racism.

Defeat republicans, defeat racism.

BLACKLASH!

So...defeat racism by being...racist.

Okay, hypocritters.

Dopes.

BLACKLASH referred to the Obama voters who switched to Trump. Read the article, nitwit.

Guess you kissed the point. As per usual.

Then you should show a point beside the one on top of your head... I still won’t kiss it.
