How far back do you want to go with that? Repeal the 12th A and go straight back to the original constitution text? My original point was the system in place works, not sure why the other guy wants to argue like I erroneously said originalism was the only way as if that’s still in play.

So would you say there is a set of rules that we’ve been following? Cool...because that’s what I said. I didn’t cry when Clinton, Bush, or Obama won by the set rules...it works.

Nope, it should function as written no matter what the leaning of the metropolis. Those are the rules and how our country operates. The idea of California being at least three states, however, is definitely a good academic exercise because of how different things are in all those areas.

The Electoral College absolutely still makes sense, your sarcasm aside. Your argument is essentially the same as getting rid of the senate because more populous states want to determine everything with respect to legislation. No thanks.

Exactly. Good luck guessing five years down the road, let alone 50.

The irony is the insane amount of farm land and irrigation requirements that ethanol requires far outweighs its status as an alternative fuel.

His answer was provided anecdotally after he criticized someone of the same, quit being dramatic one of science and facts. Maybe he should have provided a controlled experiment where this one spreads differently amongst humans with masks than without instead of being so self assuredly arrogant about his knowledge.
-
Yes.

Ironic use of your own anecdotal knowledge second half given first half.

You’re falsely applying a “double standard” here because only one side of the political spectrum was rioting, looting, and burning down cities across the entire country this summer. Incontrovertible fact. Widespread, affected people broadly across the country, not some one-off rally.

A Maserati Levante...oh, good our internet troll is a soccer mom.

That’s a helluva battle to pick.

Commonwealth, can’t compare it to a republic. /s

Would you say our FP with respect to Russia has been more or less aggressive over the last 4 years? If you think less, have you spent time in EUCOM? Edit: I’ll give you the hint...EUCOM ops under Obama/Biden was more akin to wearing a straight jacket than the last 4 years. Same with China, who expanded in the ECS/SCS aggressively under Obama/Biden. And Iran and Syria/Russia, who walked all over that admin.

Maybe you don’t see as much as you think you do.

You didn’t have to mention Biden, it’s the only other (realistic) current option.
-
Biden doesn't have any true character gain. The dude is a facade. He has no actual plan in mind, just words along the lines of "trust me, I have a plan." Also, I find that after 47 years he's really not done anything as a public official. Quit justifying Biden because he's "not Trump." Not being Trump doesn't make him good.
-
And the next begins, where we start walking back our foreign policy gains on China, Russia, and Iran, but the POTUS appears "more coherent." It's all about trade offs.
-
But still...as President what ACTION would Biden have done differently that would have had a real, substantial effect? Literally present a more coherent presence, is that it? Edit: because from listening to Biden...I don’t think he has any actionable plan apart from appearing to “listen to experts,” because what action that stems from Presidential powers would change what is currently happening?
-
I don’t know, but I do think that a) from listening to Joe there is no further plan, just talk of “a plan” for Covid, b) the President no matter who right now cannot do anything to actually affect how Covid goes, and c) he’s not actually going to DO anything but then say “my plan worked because I listened to science and experts.” Trump would absolutely do the same regarding having done nothing of efficacy and claiming victory.
-
Absolutely.

Are you talking about mail in votes that don’t make the deadline with respect to counting after election day? Or ones that meet the state deadlines just happen to be after election day? I haven’t seen this discourse yet, but am interested because having mail-in voted for about 18 years, per state rules I’ve always had to mail it in by election day and have it be received within 10 days. Deadlines should be deadlines, but then again...I never push the timeline on this.

I think he meant in the general, “from my taxpayer perspective” and not the “i wrote a blog that sold out” one.

Devil’s advocate: you’re also not required to have a car with respect to the car insurance is mandatory aspect.
