    That's been the case since yesterday, hasn't it? GOP going on television to say that now there's no way for them to reach their audience and not getting the irony?

    Eh, they would probably like that. It should be Hillary or Biden. For them, it would be a mark of shame.

    I can see it both ways, but to me, it's the latter. SCOTUS did the bare minimum here, just rescheduling the hearing, to a date in which the suit will automatically be moot. And then released the order unsigned, like a clerical email from the intern.

    Or might be that they are playing a longer game.
    Potentially not really when you look at it, he already made the US a complete and total joke, killed our international credibility and exposed an entire political party in a 2 party system as being completely and utterly corrupt and devoid of ethics and integrity. In their eyes, that pretty well mission accomplished.

    And then with Trump now flailing, he will make that even worse and further expose them. And with the Democrats taking power, they are much less of a warhawk than the Republicans and they actually honor their agreements which makes them much more predictable in that regard while still being hamstrung by the Republicans slowing all they are doing and even under ideal conditions it would take at least a generation or two to repair the damage to our international credibility after all the traitors have caused.

    With Trump going down like this, his cult will continue to cause issues and we will be too busy cleaning our own house to deal with a lot of international stuff with our full attention. The Republicans may have very well brought their middle eastern war to American soil at this point for the next couple years in a smaller scale with their people being the villians.

    to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.

    Again, you're completely ignoring the fact that the House of Representatives exists to represent the people's interests.

    The Senate exists to represent the states' interests. It's not supposed to represent the people directly. Arguing that it wrong because it doesn't is just being ignorant of its purpose.

    That's why there are two chambers, designed to balance each other in a system of checks and balances.

    Does anyone want to speculate on why THIS is showing on the official US Dept. of State website??
    I mean, if i were a betting floaty-head, I'd say an intern decided to have a little fun on one of their last days...

    You're making the right point, with the wrong political body. The Senate is there for the states.

    Your argument is for the EC, where land does indeed vote because of how Electoral College votes are constructed. And I could not agree more with you - it's an entirely retarded principle.

    Probably a glitch. The time stamp changes if you revisit the site. Also, does .gov use the 24hrs format, or the am/pm model?

    Site is offline for "technical difficulties" now.

    No, I did not enjoy it at all, you were (and still are) too narrow minded to understand what I was saying.

    Yeah a handful of farmers who own an empire of dirt should have just as much say than millions of people.

    Land matters more than people!

    I thought that was a myth?

    IIRC farmers can not stand on their own. It costs to much money so they are owned by corporations or are forced to sign contracts with them.
