Well, he's partially correct. They're definitely laughing at us, as is the rest of the world.

Gerrymandering taking its toll. The most populated counties are actually blue but crazies call the shots all the way up to the governor the last 20 years or so.

Gerrymandering has elected its troll. The most populated counties are actually blue but crazies call the shots all the way up to the governor the last 20 years or so.


Suggested FYP. As a side note, it is amazing that these fringe ideas even make it to vote, much less are being enacted.

Republicans have won like 120 statewide elections in a row in Texas.

We have a MASSIVE trade deficit with Germany, plus they pay FAR LESS than they should on NATO & military. Very bad for U.S. This will change


what a sad, pathetic old loser


I like any articlethat this to explain this by leading with: Trump doesn’t understand Germany’s trade relationships.

Gwad darn.

That said, the article is good at weeding out where all this comes from, and how Germany has become heavily reliant on trade.

Republicans have won like 120 statewide elections in a row in Texas.

But there's a difference between having a majority and having a supermajority (e.g., the difference between the Virginia Senate and the Virginia House of Delegates). Texas has dual supermajorities (95-55 House; 20-11 Senate) despite being less red than some other states with a closer legislature. I'm guessing that's where he was getting at.

Also, in conservative states you still tend to see a handful of older Blue Dog Democrats at the state legislature level, but that appears to not be a thing in Texas.

Spoiled Child Alert

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

The U.S. Senate should switch to 51 votes, immediately, and get Healthcare and TAX CUTS approved, fast and easy. Dems would do it, no doubt!
9:59 AM - 30 May 2017


Lets make a deal Donald, simple majority for POTUS retroactive, and we will consider simple majority in the Senate when the smell is eradicated from the WH.

This guy, and his Verizon service wear me out.

Relations between Berlin and Washington are in a difficult phase but the United States is "bigger and better" than the current spat shows and ties will improve again, German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said on Tuesday.

"It is true that we have a difficult situation in relations between the United States and Germany," Gabriel said. "But the United States are older and bigger than the current conflict and so I think we will return to good relations in the future."

"Things are getting trivialised now. I think it is inappropriate that we are now communicating with each other between a beer tent and Twitter," Gabriel added in Berlin.


I assume that Minister Gabriel is not a supporter of Chancellor Merkel, but is is still a reality that this is where things stand, with twitter being the weapon of ultimate sadness to me.

Healthcare is being passed (currently) under budget reconciliation which requires only 51 votes. So he's a whiny baby and wrong.

twitterverse is agog that Trump gained 5 million followers in a day and the majority are bots.

Its deranged, but funny...

reporters note that Stephen Bannon, Kushner's rival for Trump's attention, refers to Jared as "'the air,'” because he blows in and out of meetings leaving little trace, according to one senior Trump aide."
