I would kill myself if I were a glowie so the fact that I'm posting shows I'm not. I would also kill myself if someone jokingly calling some dead guy a schizo while posting additional information on his situation made me sperg out enough to accuse them of being a glownigger. Seek help.

@SaidNoOneEver That was one of the first options I offered when I posted the video and it resulted in me being called a glowie. There really is no winning on the farms. *sigh*
Ego death and breaking with reality does not a schizophrenic make. Get real, glownigger.
 
The UK maintains about 70-75k people per parliment seat, and I see zero reason why the US can't do the same
Because only a small number of people in an organization can hold real power, while the rest are really along for the ride. If you expand the House to 4,350 members, what happens is you'll have thousands of "representatives" who have no power whatsoever other than voting the party line, and a small clique who actually propose all the bills. There's a reason we capped it at 435, as it was already starting to get out of control.
 
In an interesting turn of events, it looks like Trump is going to be convicted by Merchan in name only. They just want to convict him of something.
it really is impeachment 3 - the impeaching
otoh twittards free thinking blueskis were already screeching for months about "convicted felon trump", this hardly changes anything in terms of PR, and in roughly two weeks (unless biden starts ww3 and declares martial law like his pal zelensky did) it doesn't really matter anymore.

Wow. How original.
least you're already aware you do. what you gonna do about it tho?

fun fact, euros don't get sick that often in the first place since they don't get fed HFCS and other shit. maybe you should look into that too.

but I think I get the problem, dunno if it's the mormon inbreeding or something, but you should learn to understand what "either/or" means in this case. either the globohomo ride continues (thanks for the healthcare mate!) and you'll end up with another antagonist muslim continent, or leave it to themselves to deal with their own shit you have no part of anyway. by that time you'll probably be busy with china anyway if the country hasn't imploded already. no empire lasts forever, euros know that better than anyone. but you do you.

I want to apologize to any foreigners who feel that America's continued expansion is unfair to them (they are wrong). It's just that no finite amount of territory is sufficient to contain American greatness.
hopefully you mean asia, and hopefully you win. "generalplan ost" got people strung up at nuremberg.

Fair warning, it gets exhausting repeatedly explaining grade school civics to Eurotrash and people who slept through it. Axe me hows I knows.

But at least the Eurotrash have an excuse for their ignorance, for they've never truly tasted the fruit of sweet Liberty, and wouldn't understand anyways... Poor bastards.

So you just hate democracy? What's wrong with letting the House be a place where people with actual ideas get elected, rather than a gigantic money scheme where nothing really happens?
 
That's funny that you were done with our bullshit. Did saving us include stealing our trades, blocking our waters and funding the nazi warmachine?
It was great that people like my Grandfather were being shot at by bullets paid for by the Americans. Ah, with friends like these.

Name me all of those countries that you've visited. Because the balkans range from hating everyone; Russian, yank, EU, to just hating the Russians yanks and EU.

lol, fan fiction. Was part of that begging for us to stop your jews from wiping our european jews?
God damn you're stupid

I doubt anything because Israel is a great airstrip into the rest of the ME.

HA HA HA. Ive never heard a continent screech so much about going to the doctor in my life. You people get sick if it rains and go to the hospital if it pours.

The US has lasted longer than your current government. That I can promise you.

If the House of Representatives was to be greatly expanded the following factors have to be considered:
1. The United States still has a two party system even if theoretically constituents could more easily interact with their representatives in person
2. Most states would still have their state legislature control how congressional districts are drawn
3. Unless changed every member of the House would be paid the same $174,000 each.
4. The political power of Representatives from smaller states (which already isn't that great) would be even more statistically diluted and make them have even less influence.
5. The larger size of the House could make it more awkward to handle and operate, there are only so many Committee spots for people to be assigned to for example.
6. The Capitol may have to be redone or be made larger to contain all of the new members when Congress is in session.
 
Guess republicans should have put more of those legal resources to all those house seats that waited until a month after the election to be called.
Oh shucks, what a mistake. It would have been nice to have another 9 or so Republican House seats.
Here are the demands from the people who bent the knee; they will be ignored.

Hey! They actually bothered to put election reform in the bullet point list. Let's see how many of these bullet points they will get:
• Border/Illegals
• End Inflation
• Balanced Budget
• Cut Student Loan relief; cut Green New Deal; cut Food Stamps
• Health Savings Accounts
• Election Reform
• End Congress Insider Trading

Borders/Illegals listed first means this will probably actually happen, which is good.

Austerity! austerity! austerity! Looks like what's on the menu. "We kicked out the illegals, now go do the minimum wage jobs".

No Cadillac healthcare for the new underclass. Illegals abused ERs for free healthcare. You gotta sock away your pennies to save up for those big medical emergencies. Otherwise, stay out of the hospitals wagie.

Election Reform. Well, it is on the list, which is better than nothing. I have doubts a real proper watertight solution will be implemented. Best case is super transparency, max anti-fraud mechanisms, and easy effective remedy methods. Worst case is Microsoft ElectonGuard™, Digital ID, and privatized contractors. Least effort is copy-pasted Florida laws forced on other States.

Ending Congressional insider trading is all but impossible. At best, I imagine a public PR win that hides the bribes and graft behind closed doors where the plebs can't see it.
I remember a time, only just a mere month ago, when expanding US territory was seen as a fantastical folly. Trump wants to prove John Glubb wrong and Make America Great Again.
America, do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

The Glubbpire shall continue. America has another Strauss–Howe cycle in it. 2100 here we come.
If this realignment resolves towards abundance, the future will be Bloomin'. I hope we avoid the future of parasitic scarcity and Beglooming.
 
We are officially going back to Dorsey twitter. Free speech sure didn't last long. Only happy thoughts and nothing critical of the system. The archive is completely different to what i see and it removes all critical posts. Musk also started restricting replies to paid only and encourages others to do such.

So let me get this straight.

Bluesky is adding features to be more like Twitter, meanwhile Twitter is adjusting the algo to be more like Bluesky? Do I have this right?

Sounds incestuous.

Notice this happens after people started calling out his Indian visa positions. By algorithm tweak, he means not having his platform show opposition for him or his position.

Only when manifested. That's when it gets in the way of a succulent Chinese meal. And keep your hand away from my penis, too.
