@coldjoint,
Do you think Trump also plays hide and seek with the bikini-clad Ivanka Trump in his digs? Rumor has it your idol Trump makes goo-goo eyes at Ivanka Trump when his foreign wife is not around.

Wait, did I write foreign? I remember Trump telling his supporters that America doesn't need low-skilled foreign immigrants. His foreign wife used to be a model, right? So, don't you think it's asinine for Trump to express distaste at low-skilled foreign workers hoping to settle down in America since his own wife used to be a louche model using her va-va-voom to attract eyeballs?

Indeed, some models are educated; they also use their clout to promote women's rights . Trump's foreign wife is not one of them. She didn't come out objurgating his husband after Trump made such atrocious comments like " “grab them by the pussy."



She married him simply because he claims to be a member of the glitterati. You can find lots of such imbecile socialites like Trump who are gung ho about seeking fame and making fast bucks. Remember the book called Barbarians at the Gate or Den of Thieves? Remember what happened to Enron? Remember Bernard Madoff?

Your Trump once called himself the king of the debt, according to Politico. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/trump-king-of-debt-224642.

Just tell me are Bill Gates and his pal Warren Buffett saddled with bad debts? The richest man now is Jeff bezo according to Forbes, right? Is he in hock?

You claim to be a know-it-all, right? Just tell us why.

On Friday, Pew Research published the results of a survey of 9,654 people, conducted between 4 and 10 June, that showed six in 10 say Trump’s message in response to the protests has been wrong, including 39% who think it has been completely wrong and 21% who think it mostly wrong. Only 37% say his message has been completely or mostly right.

Thanks for giving a fuller picture.


The "status quo" on the electoral college and Senate imbalance is a very, very slanted tilt in the direction of steadfast conservatism...and will almost not be changed at all.

It is tremendously unfair...and in 2016 resulted in Trump being elected president despite losing the popular vote by 3,000,000 votes.

Think about that! 3,000,000 more people voted for Hillary Clinton than Trump...yet he won the election.

But...that is the system, and the forced needed to change it also favor the people who what least to change it.

@Frank Apisa,
That’s how they do it.

Bread and circuses, cheap food and an unrelenting supply of right wing propaganda that blames everything and everyone except the rich for the sorry predicament they’re in.

@izzythepush,
And they in return pay $30 for a $4.99 MAGA cap. They go to to the rallys to wade in nostalgia for an America that was Jim Crow, where they held a sway that never was and they will never have. Trump is a lighting rod for their anger at the 'others' who stole/steal their place. And Trump only uses them for photo ops to document his popular-ness and give the illusion being popular. He feeds on their feelings of powerlessness and gives them licence to move on their baser instincts.

@Frank Apisa,
The Senate might be closer adjustment than we think.

Not sure how, unless we break California up into ten states...and several others into many states.

Unless you have something else in mind?

Fair enough. An offer of peace between the State of Israel and (I suppose) the PLO is something that can be verified, because these offers are publicly made, and proper documentation (maps) would logically be available to verify the extent of West Bank land offered against peace in such offers. Correct?

Not publicly made, but the public has access to reliable information about the offers.

There's a range of meaning for "repeatedly": "multiple times, over and over again, constantly". How many times exactly do you claim that "Israel offered to give that land to the Palestinians in exchange for peace"? Maybe give an order of magnitude, because the word is a bit vague.

Ehud Barak made an offer at Taba in 2001. No map is publicly available, but the public has reliable information that the Palestinians were offered: land equal in area to 97% of the West Bank and 100% of the Gaza Strip, the West Bank in a single contiguous block, and East Jerusalem as the Palestinian capital.

We have an actual map from Ehud Olmert that shows exactly what he offered to the Palestinians throughout his time in office. The map is quite similar to the description of Ehud Barak's offer.

So that's two offers of a withdrawal from nearly all of the West Bank that can be verified with concrete information.

Honorable mention: Ariel Sharon would not have withdrawn from the entire West Bank without getting a peace agreement in exchange for it. However, it should be easy to verify that he planned to unilaterally withdraw from enough land to allow the Palestinians to have their own economically viable state.

Obviously I am missing something here.

How does that help increase the number of senators relative to population of states?

That might impact on this next election...but that is not what we were discussing.

Right?

Rumor has it that you are talking about incest. That is a terrible, low and classless. The same things you accuse Trump of you people do much more of it and more often.

But that is not what we were discussing. The 600,000 people who live in Wyoming will still have 2 Senators representing them...and the 40,000,000 people living in California will still have 2 Senators representing them.

@lmur,
Now I am going to have to google to see what you are talking about. One wonders what we all will talk about once he is gone from the public eyes. (please make soon, prayer)
