    “Arnold Palmer was all man, and I say that in all due respect to women, I love women,” Trump said. “This man was strong and tough, and I refused to say it, but when he took showers with the other pros they came out of there, they said, ‘Oh, my God. That’s unbelievable.’”

    lmao

      Is he trying to pull the Johnson power move but the best he can do is talk about someone who had a large cock? Or are these ramblings of a man sinking deeper into dementia and losing what remained of his filter and just talking about what’s on his mind? Or maybe it’s a power move by Putin and he ordered Trump to humiliate himself to show someone else that he pulls Trump’s strings? Or… Maybe a power move Trump is using to say it doesn’t matter what he says at this point since he’s intending to try to loophole his way into the presidency rather than get elected in?

      Kinda fucked that all of those seem plausible.

      Not that it wasn’t meaningless toxic bullshit when Johnson whipped his cock out to settle disagreements or do whatever the fuck he was trying to do when he did that.

      I wonder how many people would still be alive of he’d done that, between pandemic mismanagement, vaccine hesitancy that he championed, and various other things that don’t come to mind off the top of my head, he’s got a significant amount of blood on his hands, directly and indirectly.

      Him being elected will only make it worse.

    He’s never won the popular vote and he never will. The majority of Americans despise this Russian agent/asset.

    The electoral college is an antiquated relic employed to game the system for Republicans and needs to go.

      Even if we got rid of it, the senate is still non representative with small states wielding more power, and the house isn’t proportional because the seats are capped.

      So much is fucked.

        That’s how the Senate is designed and intended. That’s not the issue. The capped House functions as a second Senate because it no longer represents population correctly, because of that cap imposed in the 1920s.

          Its intended, but it’s still a problem. It gives disproportionate power to smaller states and it gets worse as certain areas grow and other don’t.

          Wyoming with a population of 581k in 2022 wields as much power in the senate as California with 39 million.

          And if you control either the house or senate, you can pretty much stall almost anything.

            THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE SENATE. It is the reason Congress is separated in two the way it is.

            In the Senate, every State is equal, regardless of physical size or population. A foundational pillar of our Union has always been State equality. The Senate is working EXACTLY as designed, it is there specifically to prevent large States from dictating what smaller States have to do. Larger States have their bigger voice heard in the House. The two serve very different purposes.

            The real issue is the House needs to actually be proportional again. The cap at 435 means it cannot be properly representative with States like Delaware and California both existing. A representative in Delaware represents a fraction of the number of people as a Rep in California because the cap limits how that apportionment works. Without the artificial cap from the 1920s, and proper apportionment by population again, our House of Representatives would be more like 1,600 members and actually representative of this country instead of being a glorified pseudo Senate.

              I really do get that, you don’t have to try and explain it again, but it doesn’t mean it’s serving the country any further, just like the electoral college isn’t severing the country or first past the post isn’t.

              Things change, and it turns out that this system is allowing for the tyranny of minority which is ironically is the opposite of the intended effect of it preventing tyranny of the majority.

              I’m not offering a solution, I’m just saying its a problem just like the others. Everything can be reformed if there a problems.

              But yes as I said, fixing the house would be a start.

    “I shouldn’t have left. I mean, honestly, because we did so, we did so well,” Trump said during his rally in Lititz as he claimed the US-Mexico border was more secure under his administration.

    It was a rare public admission of regret over participating in the peaceful transfer of power after he incited his supporters to violently storm the US Capitol as he tried to subvert the results of the 2020 election that he lost but refused to concede — something Trump is currently facing federal charges over.

      He’s not even saying he should have left because he thinks the election was a fraud. He’s saying he shouldn’t have left because he did a good job.
