āI love being hated,ā the hat said. āThe retarded parts of the country hate me. They should. Iād kill them all if I could.ā
āThey hate Donald too,ā the hair said sleepily.
āItās good to be hated by bad people,ā the hat said. āI want to bathe in their agony and distress.ā
āSomeoneās coming,ā the hair said, climbing back on Donaldās head.
āI was in the new ballroom,ā Donald mumbled. āIt was beautiful, so classy.ā
āFather,ā Barron said. āI ordered them to fill the reflecting pool with alligators from my farm and they refused.ā
āBut I want there to be alligators too,ā Donald said. He stood, and went around the desk to put a comforting hand on his giant sonās arm.
āDid I ever tell you about the best grapefruit I ever fucked?ā the hat asked.
āWhat about the moat I want to build around the ballroom?ā Donald asked. āI want to feed protesters to them.ā
āThe engineers are grumbling about that as well,ā Barron said.
āGoddamn, she was juicy,ā the hat said.
āFather, I worry that there wonāt be any alligators stocked in DC at all,ā Barron said, slumping.
āHow are we going to protect ourselves from assassins?ā Barron asked.
āA Ruby Red, deep pink inside,ā the hat reminisced.
āThere will always be assassins,ā the hair said. āBut reassure the boy.ā
āBarron,ā Donald said, āthey want to destroy me, my legacy.ā
āYou know I like that pink,ā the hat said. āHmmā¦ yeah.ā
āIsnāt the reflecting pool chlorinated?ā the hair asked.
āGet in there, part a section, just go to town.ā
Barron asked, āAre you all right Father? You seem distracted.ā
āRub that peel all over me,ā the hat said.
āWe are talking about alligators, for fuckās sake,ā the hair said to the hat.
āPut it in the stem end,ā the hat said, āthe stem end is tight.ā
āOK, maybe no alligators,ā Donald said. āCould we ring the ballroom with land mines?ā
āI am so erect right now,ā the hat said. āCall up the kitchen, I want something to fuck.ā
āLand mines are illegal, Donald,ā the hair said primly.
āI decide what is legal,ā Donald said out loud. āLand mines, I want land mines, get Hegseth in here.ā
āNo bananas, thatās gay,ā the hat said.
Donald made explosion noises for a full minute.
The hat has wedding tackle?
Millinery tackle.
So that’s what tickles my ears.
Skull fuck just took on a whole new meaning.

Wait for it…
If they’re illegal, why are we still making them?

Or “illegal”.
Donald’s say-so is more authoritative than some stupid treaty.
We are just collecting them so nobody else can use them.
We sent a bunch to Ukraine.
They’re not illegal:
The Biden administration chose to comply with most of its general terms, but the US is under no obligation to do so.
āCall up the kitchen, I want something to fuck.ā

New talking point
In response, civil rights groups and other Americans committed to democracy should consider more proportional voting systems that can reduce gerrymandering and make representation less dependent on judicial intervention. Under a typical proportional system, if a group wins, say, one-third of the vote, it could expect to secure roughly one-third of the legislative seats.
Critically, all votersā ballots could count toward electing a representative ā no matter where they live ā because politicians could not dilute a communityās political power by spreading them across multiple districts, or by packing them into a single district. In Louisiana, for example, where the population is one-third Black, proportional representation could better enable Black Louisianans to help elect at least two of the six members of the stateās congressional delegation.
——-
Rather than enabling entrenched politicians to gerrymander district lines to shut out disfavored voters, proportional systems would translate votes into seats more faithfully, producing legislatures that better reflect the electorate and are more responsive.
Make no mistake, the Supreme Courtās unbridled assault on the Voting Rights Act threatens the future of multiracial democracy in America. It reflects a broader struggle over whether our public institutions will adapt to a more diverse nation, or whether those anxious about cultural and political change will use immigration restrictions, English-only mandates, attacks on diversity programs, book bans and other efforts to erase our history to resist that transformation.
There was another article like this a day or two ago. Racialist preferences can be rescued via incomprehensible nonsense about how we can end-run gerrymandering restrictions with some weird redheaded bastard love child of ranked choice and outright racial quotas.
Long live Democrat-ocracy.
As always, the definition of “fair” is “my side wins”.
Aren’t geographical districts written into the Constitution? Funny that the article doesn’t mention that.
No as a matter of fact, they are not. Each state is allocated a number of representatives based on the census, and the number is capped by statute, not constitutional clause. The constitution is silent on apportionment beyond that.
I did not know that. I still have a hard time seeing the majority in any state change the law in a way that would weaken their representation.
And thus from early MA Democrat Gov. Elbridge Gerry – the gerrymander.
Yet another lame attempt to sidestep the problem (the short-term problem, of course, is that Democrats cheat in elections and we’re not holding them accountable.)
it isn’t cheating if you write it into law!
/some prog, somewhere.
If they weren’t bitching about the gerrymander in NE states, they can go fuck themselves.
Define “group”.
Oh, a couple lines down they explicitly say it means “race”.
No — GFY.

Michael Bay AND Nic Cage – the nearly concentric Venn diagram of vapid movie making.
Looks like Ted Turner just passed away: https://x.com/cnnbrk/status/2052029165092680166
I thought he was already dead.
There was a time when CNN was actually pretty great.
But in the end it just devolved into propaganda but not before destroying the established network news organizations thus leaving everyone worse off than before CNN existed.
Turner Classic Movies was great when that channel came out.
CNN was a great excuse for battalion to subscribe to cable. I then had access to all those channels when on staff duty for 24 hours.
TV on staff duty?
We would bring the OG X box.
It was early 90s.
Eh, the establishment news organizations were just mouthpieces for the uniparty/ruling class social circle.
When do we celebrate Ralph Nader?
Why? For killing the Corvair?
Each state is allocated a number of representatives based on the census, and the number is capped by statute, not constitutional clause. The constitution is silent on apportionment beyond that.
I would not be opposed, in theory, to statewide elections for Congress, but what is being proposed seems to be motivated by an explicit desire for race quotas. California could, in theory, get a few more Republicans if voters weren’t corralled in electoral Bantustans.
Quadruple the size of the house. Reduce district sizes and confine them to compact, geographical shapes. Simple direct voting rules including proof of identity and proof of residency to vote. Representation is whatever you get.
Along with that:
HoR wing of the Capitol shut down. Representatives work remotely from an office in their district.
Some states early on did non-district based Congressional reps. I like that as much as increasing the size of the House. District based representation may have made sense before our era of modern communications, not so much now.
I disagree with NA – this is politics and that requires political skills/behavior and that means face to face interaction. I don’t like it and I’d never want to do it, but that’s just reality and I have to accept that.
To the extent that this was ever true, it’s definitely less true among the “don’t call me without texting first” generation. Besides, the entire point of increasing the number of reps would be to reduce the power of charismatic leaders. And keeping them local keeps their in-group the people in their district, rather than their party or the HoR as an institution. It also makes lobbying a fuckton more expensive.
Also, remote work means all the horsetrading gets documented.
šš¤£
Graft would become a more expensive problem for those seeking to pay for influence — four times as many representative — mostly like four times as many committees and committee leads — etc.
And I do expect that geographic diversity would force more graft into electronic communications instead of hallway conversations. So, there would be an evidence trail for people to chase after if they wanted to.
Of course since mass electronic communication is a thing, you could just eliminate the HoR and go with a plebiscite for the functions of that part of the legislature.
go with a plebiscite
no
voter referendums already prove that’s a bad idea.
Just dilute the house and make it even more a creature of the deep state. Like term limits, it sounds better on paper than in practice.
I am more than halfway convinced that the electoral process actively selects for worse people than the general population. And you would need to provide actual evidence that it results in a legislature any smarter than the mean.
the ādonāt call me without texting firstā generation
Which generation is that? Not my son’s generation that much I know.
For one, you have people that want to elected, rather than better things to do with their lives.
And you would need to provide actual evidence that it results in a legislature any smarter than the mean.
+1 Buckley quote about being governed by the first 100 names in the phone book
“What we āare proposing ā is that Iran gains passage for its ships through the Strait and in return commits to negotiating with the Americans on issues of nuclear materials, missiles, and the region, and we propose that the Americans, for their part, lift their blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and, in return, obtain Iran’s commitment to negotiations,” the French presidency official said.
So the US stops the only thing that gives it any leverage and the Iran pinky swears to “commit” to negotiations. We will see has desperate the Orange Man is to get himself out of his mess.

“We didn’t forge it – in fact, we are Banksy” – take the vandalism charges to avoid the forgery felony. Unless that piece of shit comes out of hiding and takes the rap for his crimes.

Thanks. I passed that on to Bethannica.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but for some of those jobs, they’d have to climb ladders…
Not according to the photos. They use extended scrubbers that let them keep their feet on the ground. I imagine that is critical to being able to afford business insurance.
Even to clean the gutters?
Even to clean the gutters?
These euphemisms.
Our residential and commercial cleaning specialists are equipped with cutting-edge tools that tackle the toughest jobs with ease. Here’s a peek at our toolkit.
Extreme close-up gutter cameras: These bad boys allow us to see the condition of your gutters with a great degree of detail. That helps us provide accurate inspections, quotes, and quality checks. With gutter cameras, we can identify deformities and clogs. We’ve even found a few critters!
Gutter vacuums: Just because we’re tough doesn’t mean we’re unsafe. That’s why we use gutter vacuums. In places where a ladder would be risky or impossible we rig carbon fiber poles to a high-quality wet/dry vacuum to remove even the smallest bits of debris. When we’re done, we’ll use our gutter cameras to ensure we got every last particle.
Implies they do use them when they can, but they have other options as well.
Bethannica was disappointed by the fact she could not put them on ladders.
How in the world was this discoverable? Some quality lawyering.

‘There’s a little known exemption within the handball law.
It covers when the ball is unexpectedly hit at you by a team-mate. Even if your arm is away from your body, the law says you should not give away a penalty.
When Vitinha blasts the ball clear, could Joao Neves think the ball would be hit straight at him? ‘”
