    I questioning if there’s going to be some false flag attack in these cities just before midterms?

    Also, this treasonous pos needs to be put down in a prison hole.

    It’s not doubling down, but rather claiming all of a sudden that it would be a bad thing. Nazi cronies originally excused it as “the left can’t take a joke” because tone/words seemed to obviously welcome it.

    California happens to be one of the safer distance-wise places from Iran missile range. Even if a missile from Iran could reach California, one with a heavier bomb would reach eastern sea board, or Israel.

    Fundamentally, peace with Iran is the logical conclusion from this phantom fear. Instead of continuation of illegal permawar. Massively other negative consequences well within Iran demonstrated capability occur as a result of permanent war/oppression of Iran. Zero benefit to Americans.

    Maybe this that surprise that he says they have planned. He going create flase flag in both cities and blame Iran and use it to cancel the elections.

      I suspect he’s just itching to use nuclear weapons to be strong and stable and genius, being too stupid to understand why it’s is a bad idea.

      The rest of his executive are also bloodthirsty fascists and probably don’t actually have a problem sacrificing some “libs” or “commies” or whatever for their greater good apocalypic religious ravings.

        Didn’t even think it be nuclear weapons, but your not wrong he suggested and seriously wanted to use a nuke to stop a hurricane. You remember it the one defaced a weather projection map with a sharper when they refuse to draw it going the way he had said it will go. If he can’t stay in power I definitely see him using a nuke on his way out the door.

          There are a few, unconfirmed and anonymous staff leaks that say he’s been stopped from using nuclear weapons several times.

    I think Dump is banking on more Americans having insane rightwing California Derangement Syndrome and I don’t think most Americans really have that, just the weird freaks that adore people like him.

        And they get 2 senators, same as the 0.172% of Americans living in Wyoming. The US needs constitutional reforms in so many ways.

          Indeed. It borders on the absurdly ridiculous. I’m not sure the founders, even when they were trying to balance the interests of slave states anticipated such a wild imbalance of having one state having 67 times the number of people in another state.

          This is not a problem. The Senate is half of one branch of government, and it’s fine to give land limited say. It helps prevent us from turning the less populated states into dumping grounds.

          Even if you disagree, there are much bigger issues. Gerrymandering and Citizens United both do infinitely more damage.

            It is 100% a problem that Vermont and California both get 2 senator each.

            California has 60 times the population VT has. 60. Same proportional representation in the senate.

              Vermont has 3 total representatives in Congress, one of which is Bernie Sanders. California has 54.

              If the Senate was the entire legislative branch, I would agree with you that it’s a problem. It’s not.

                The Senate confirms justices for a lifelong position on the Supreme Court. The Senate being overly right wing and not properly representative of the people is not the entire problem, but it’s definitely a problem.

            It helps prevent us from turning the less populated states into dumping grounds.

            You’re going to have to prove that’s what would happen.

            You’re also going to have to explain why that’s worse than underfunding and not meeting the everyday needs of actual people- the vast majority of whom do not live in rural America- to prevent rural America from “Becoming a dumping ground”.

            (Also while you’re at it, show how republicans aren’t already turning rural America into literal dumping grounds with their regulatory rollbacks.)

              I’m going to have to what? Sounds like I didn’t need to do shit.

              You’re going to have to prove eliminating the Senate is more important than fixing Citizens United or gerrymandering.

                Equal representation is a foundation of democracy.

                The US doesn’t have that. And has never had it. If the foundation is shit, everything else is going to go to shit.

                That includes citizens united and gerrymandering.

                Which it needs to be said is a false dichotomy and all three things can be done simultaneously. It’s as lazy and fucking disingenuous as saying urban and suburban voters can’t vote responsibly for rural decisions but rural voters can vote responsibly for urban decisions.

                Any argument you can make for rural voters receiving more voting power can be echoed right back at you and it’s all a load of bullshit.

                So yeah. You’re absolutely going to have to defend the argument you fucking made when that argument is ultimately to disenfranchise 80% of American voters.

                  The Senate is pretty clearly spelled out in the Constitution. Citizens United is a pretty far fetched, liberal interpretation, and gerrymandering isn’t in the Constitution at all.

                  Eliminating the Senate is more difficult and not on my priority list, and you haven’t exactly convinced me to support that. It’s a great idea if your goal is to get nothing done.

                  I guess we can agree to disagree.
