So does everyone gerrymander then, or not?

It is a blight on our country. Should be drawn in exactly that way - non partisan.

Texas, North Carolina and Ohio are the three most gerrymandered states. Start there.

lolfuckingL. droopy dog lavrov and putin are gonna run a train on the US and Ukraine. Hate those fuckheads all you want, but they are gonna lap up a handful of raging self centered narcissists in a negotiation of any kind. The fucking groundwork is already there and laid bare. 

Poor fucking Ukraine 

Russia: What we want is all of the Ukraine and half of Moldova
Musk: Ok, no problem. Sounds like a deal!
Russia: AND we also want you to pay us reparations for our losses.
Musk: Ok.  That sounds fair...
Russia: AND we also want Luka Doncic.
Musk: Ok, but we will have to throw in Max Christie and 2 first rounders to make the money work.
Russia: DEAL!  Peace at last!

Just to be clear. Everyone gerrymanders. It's a blight on our country.

https://www.vox.com/22961590/redistricting-gerrymandering-house-2022-midterms

>Democrats saved themselves by resorting to a tactic they’ve previously denounced as not only unfair but downright unethical — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi calledgerrymandering “unjust and deeply dangerous” in 2019. But in the absence of national reforms banning the practice, refusing to gerrymander would have meant effective unilateral disarmament, ceding the GOP a significant advantage in the battle for control over the House.

Also keep this in mind every time you see one of the "but it wasn't supposed to hurt the people that voted for him" things posted on FB or Twitter or letters to the editor

Yeah, like a lot of things that were #bothsides or liberal-originated, gerrymandering, "test" civil rights cases, Rs adopted the strategy and turned it to 11.

And then cynically and fraudulently argue that it's fine because the Dems did it first. We've already had one round of concentration camps built off that logic, I'm sure we'll get some bang-up upgrades this go-round

Using Signal, but not twitter.  You'd have to be really fucking stupid at this point to be a federal employee and trying to communicate through twitter.

Wisconsin as well.  Statewide elections typically never deviate more than a couple of percentage points from 50% yet six out of eight US representatives are from Team Treason.

My wife and I moved from FB messenger to Signal years ago before RCS messaging fixed our iOS<->Android messaging woes. Signal is great, easy to use, and works across multiple devices seamlessly

Signal is significantly more secure than FB messenger, android messenger text apps and probably imessage as well. 

I can't recommend Signal enough.

Only one party has advocated for nonpartisan redistricting. And right-wing judges have consistently eradicated campaign election reforms and permitted gerrymandering. In Texas, republicans choose their voters.

Since 2000, rightwingers have used big data and now AI to maximize their party’s stranglehood in states their control the process. Its no longer guesswork.

Yeah the words I couldn't find last night came to me this morning: saying both sides do it is False Equivalence. 

But came here to post this about muSSk:

I'm in favor of nobody gerrymandering. As I've said at least twice in the last 24 hours, it's a blight on our country. But don't act like only one side does it. Both do it, one does it more. Both are shitty.

Anyway back to topic at babd

Any of the 3 broadcast news channels could--no, SHOULD--be doing at least a weekly if not nightly fact check on these purported DOGE savings. Just hammer away at the lies constantly. Have 60 Minutes do an expose and reveal their ridiculous math where 2+2= a billion.

Instead, Musk and Co will just keep throwing out fantastically fake numbers that will be repeated over & over. If we're lucky we might get a humorous bit from Jon Stewart or John Oliver.

Truly a Brave New World. What a fucking Orwellian nightmare - the ruling oligarch has a 24/7 shoutbox into literally every pocket in the country by virtue of FCC-mandated emergency messaging systems. 

 

It never ceases to boggle the mind how much an antisocial fucknugget can take useful mechanisms for a healthy society and twist them into another expression of their power over everyone else.

I don’t follow this thread because he’s too infuriating. However I noticed Bannon is fighting with him. That’s a nice turn of events. 

Also, someone mentioned that Musk’s parents joined the Nazi party. That’s fake, right?  Right?

Bannon said before the inauguration he'd have muSSk exiled before the end of January or something like that. So...not successful. But maybe he's still trying.

Here's Elon Musk’s father. Is it a nazi? Who can say?

I’ve been on Signal for six years and for a long time it was just me and my most paranoid friends but now everyone is there.  I only had like three active convos and now I actually have to be conscious about what chat I’m responding to.

US Food and Drug Administration employees reviewing Elon Musk’s brain implant company Neuralink were fired over the weekend as part of a broader purge of federal workforce

Absolutely.  When they talk about some agency or group of workers being fired as part of a “broader purge”, it’s DOGE trying to help Leon’s companies while hiding behind a “look we are trying to fire everybody, it’s just a coincidence that we are hitting groups directly impacting Dear Leader’s companies.”

It’s not about government waste, just about all of Leon’s companies had problems that are now going to go away - Tesla, Neuralink, Boring, SpaceX, xAI/Twitter, etc.

This. And just enough other shit to keep it off the radar, but not real hits. National Parks. Fire the workers, that will show them. Not much deeper than that.

Or he wants to launch out of the Yellowstone Caldera.

Also, no investigation into WH expenditures. Was the trip to Daytona really needed?

I'm still confused by all this. Weren't all these expenditures they're finding passed via bipartisan congress and signed into law by presidents past and current? They keep using the term fraud. Isn't that a crime. Are there charges being brought against Congress for approving this spending?

There will be if they don't sit down and keep their yaps shut.

There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

Errol Musk has claimed that Elon's maternal grandparents were members of the Nazi part in Canada, and immigrated to South Africa specifically because they liked apartheid. He starts talking about it at about 52:45 in this interview.

Quote

The National Archives, which administers the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston, announced the library will reopen Wednesday, after the library announced it was unexpectedly closed Tuesday "until further notice."

The library was closed as of 2 p.m. Tuesday, citing a new executive order 

Quote

An announcement of the closure was posted on the library's website and on social media by the JFK Library Foundation. 

"Due to executive order, the JFK Library is closed until further notice," a foundation spokesperson said in a statement given to NewsCenter 5.  A matching statement, citing the executive order, was also posted on the glass door of the library.

An employee described an emotional meeting that was held just before the building was closed. They said several people left the meeting in tears and that up to nine members of the staff were laid off.

"Donald Trump and Elon Musk's thoughtless crusade has caused an iconic institution and economic driver to close in Massachusetts," Gov. Maura Healey said in a statement.

Quote

"The JFK Library plays an essential role in our state and nation's history, our travel and tourism sector, and our economy. We hope that this closure will be temporary and urge President Trump and DOGE to reverse course so that the library can reopen to continue educating visitors and contributing to our economy."

Narrator: Musk is going to work to lay off more employees and close it down because they dared speak out against him.
