Tried and true classic liberal Democrat. Believe in America. Believe in science. Believe we can disagree and still coexist.

There has to be some process by which the reapportionment viabcensus is cerified/ratified and adopted, right?
I mean the obvious "solution" to that is for the GOP to kill all worker protections and create an environment where we have a class of cheap slave/child labor that works for 25 cents an hour.

07.08.2025 12:25 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0The truth may be that many CEOs like the idea of "making deals" with an autocrat better than dealing with regulations and gov bodies...because they see themselves as lords of their own domains.
Same reason they want their people in offices so they can walk the halls and feel their power.
Except gov workers are never real workers to the GOP.

How is it even legal for the IRS to make this decision in the first place?
Why was this just some executive branch IRS regulation instead of an actual tax law?

The new TX map bets big that enough Latinos will stay GOP...and that may not end up working out for them.
We tried to be nice and appealing to their better angels, but they only want power...so now we must use the devil's own tools to force them to wanting reform.
