Pushing gerrymandering bullshit was always a losing proposition for Democrats because there are more GOP governors than Democrat.

Also Heavy blue states have already Gerrymandered themselves to all hell and The GOPe never really responded in kind. I don't think the Democrats really want the GOP to start playing this game in the democrats do, I would love to just see a single district in Texas that consists of all the big cities connected along the thinnest thread possible.

A State Judge declared it Illegal about 7 different ways and the VA SC did not let them ratify the vote.

Didn't the VA SC strike down similar rulings from the same judge twice already?

That's it, sorry for the sperg out.

I can relate, I've had my own politics prediction effort posts in the past.

I don't think we are ever talking about who will be the 2028 nomination yet. All we have to talk about is those putting themselves out there to the media to be talked about as candidates.

I'm kind of in a holding pattern on where I think things are going. I was expecting Crockett to win her primary, and believed the party had fully been taken over by Black Woman Death Cult. They are convinced they need to win history by making a Black Woman President.

Crockett losing has made me believe the establishment dems may be more in power than I previously believed. I want to see how more primaries go, if the Dems can reign in the Progressives with out really pissing them off, they will be in a much better position for 2028.

Probably late so I apologize I'm not good at getting the scoop on things, but I never thought I would see the day where MIA got kicked off a rap tour for telling the crowd she was a "Brown Republican voter".

The same exact insults every time, are all TESniggers just hulkster variants?

My post was pointing out that everything said about Biden also applies to Trump.

I'd welcome them to come in and say what they think the democrats have on policy. Anything at all. They ran in 2014 not trump, 2020, not trump (and everything went to shit) 2024 not trump. 2026 they'll pull it again I suppose. Who are these people? Jeffries, whatever? Do they have a single policy or anything at all? It sure doesn't seem like it, just 'he's a pedo!!!'

I suppose they want to kill ICE and let in more illegals?

The thing is, they can not in any way have any policy at all. They have none. And anything they could have is negative. Will they say no more H1b? Sure great, but they can't even say t hat cause they need the pajeet voting base.

One can't even debate those niggers or ask what they want on TES mass debates. They ban you. All they want is blood to kill Trump and anyone that likes him. They're bloodthirsty idiots.

They're all the reddit killer types that need to be in prison or worse.

Sure are a lot of things happening post-Bondi.

 

[Sammich]

Hopefully this will get them around to actually BANNING the practice. I'm not exactly sure they'll do it, but I'm hopeful anyway.

I mean, yeah, it's inherently bullshit. I think we should fuck them hard for an election cycle or two, and dangle some sort of changes of having it drawn by some computer or something to make it more "fair"

This reason I say this, gop has been getting fucked over by this for a good w hile, and why should we not benefit a little bit. Who cares about what's "fair" right now, i want the dems crushed as a party, i want them in the minority and pretty much forced to get on their knees and beg us to stop fucking them so hard.

At some point, you have to wonder if the easy thing to do would be fill in the Strait of Hormuz with sand.

You'd be enjoying life too, looking like that while being the coke connection for every sorority girl at Harvard.

It was hysterical during the campaign when they tried to use that as oppo.

Considering that the VA SC stopped the vote certification of the new map from going through last Friday they at least considered some of the merits worth looking into.

Would it look like an asterisk butthole? That would be hilarious

The really fun thing about the Florida map is all the districts are fairly rectangular, it looks like the least gerrymandered map ever.

It was put on hold since the referendum hadn't happened yet.

I wonder if you could draw a goatsee with a gerrymandering map

Iirc, Spirit carried ~30 million passengers last year. If we were serious, they'd have capacity to deport them all before President Trump left office...

 

[Exterminatus]

I'm pretty pissed, barr had some ties to Mcconnell too. But Nate being in the Trump admin is a win, and daniel cameron being a certified loser is good enough for me.

I really do like Nate.

Morris seems genuine from what I've seen of him and heard from some family in the state that met him at events. I think he could have a shot at taking Paul's seat in 2028 or maybe the governor's race, unless he is getting an admin job from Trump in exchange for dropping out and supporting Barr.

If ratios mattered then I would be fucked

If ratios mattered Keffals would've killed Kiwifarms

Hahah, well. It's the 4th and all. Posted the Shatner one on the SW media thread but I love this too

BUT TRUMP IS USING A RED LIGHTSABER, HE'S A HECKIN EVIL SITH!!!!!

 

[LopsidedLegend]

@Sweeter and Savoury honestly Newsom winning might cause another cultural shift similar to Trump's and Obama's victories. Just in opposite favor of the party he represents. I'd rather not doomer into accelerationism though so I hope Vance or Rubio wins. But Newsom would cause some favorable changes if he won in the voters (not in the country).

 

[Dread First]

Fuck him and all but this isn't shocking. I have never met a south asian (indian and co) that was genuinely christian. I've met a lot of oriental asians, especially koreans for some reason, who are true christians that walk the walk and seem to genuinely believe but i've never met an indian who did.

May I introduce you to the Saint Thomas Christians of the Malabar Coast (now Kerala, India)?

TLDR on their origins: their internal narrative traces them all the way back to the voyages of Saint Thomas the Apostle. This is a plausible origin story on its surface because the Romans did have long-spanning trade routes along the Red Sea and Indian Ocean. Not to mention that Jewish communities existed in the Malabar Coast that were roughly contemporary with Saint Thomas's legendary voyages. Secular scholarship places them closer to the 4th and 5th centuries AD, following multiple waves of evangelism. One wave went south from Edessa to the Malabar Coast, the other went north through the Iranian Plateau into the Indus River Valley.

In the 1500s, the Portuguese set foot in the Malabar Coast and sought to bring all the Saint Thomas Christians under the fold of the Catholic Church. Then the British showed up not too long after bringing Anglicanism with them, and eventually the 19th and 20th centuries bringing Protestant missionaries more generally. The Saint Thomas Christians are all Malayalam-speakers, and today, the Saint Thomas Christians are scattered among multiple groups:

* Syro-Malabar Catholic Church (descended from the Church of the East): they use the East Syriac Rite
* Jacobite/Malankara Orthodox Church (both in schism with one another, and they pledge fealty to the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch in Baghdad): they use the West Syriac Rite
* Mar Thoma Syrian Church: they're a rare "Oriental Protestant" group who retain the West Syriac liturgy but adopted Anglican trappings (i.e. 66 book bible, communion with the Archbishop of Canterbury)
* Scattered Pentecostal and evangelical Protestants, Latin Rite Catholics, and garden-variety Anglicans

Protip to identify a Saint Thomas Christian: if you see a Desi guy with a name like "Gregorios" or "Bartholomew" or "Joshua" or "Adam," they're more than likely a Saint Thomas Christian.

I don't like Trump either but all of you guys really say the same exact thing. You say "Pants shitting paedophile" like you are all reading off of the same script. Your insults couldn't be more uniform and fake if you were one person on 20 different accounts.
