Less orange man bad, more too much people sitting at home after work.

And I can't blame them, after I come home from work, the last thing I want to do is talk about politics.

I am a bit clueless about what could Trump do as a President, I don't think he can send a death squad to Virginia to arrest the people trying this.

It's legitimate a pressing issue that doesn't seem to have a solution, too many people are just disconnected from politics entirely and want to hear absolutely nothing about them.

I think their point is that to many certified Virgins (even republicans) stopping orange zionist satan is important enough to give up fair representation.

It is blatant gerrymandering. The Democrats are justifying it by saying it's to stop Trump and the Republicans from gaining seats in the House through their own redistricting elsewhere. To be fair, the Republicans do this as well, but they're more creative about it by trying to exclude illegals from the census. Democrats want to include illegals in the census because a higher population translates to more seats in the House. Republicans also have an edge because lots of people are leaving blue states for red ones, which changes the population and thus the composition of the House.

This whole thing with Virginia is the Democrats blatantly fortifying the whole state. It might backfire by causing a lot of Virginians to leave, reducing the overall population and thus the amount of seats that Virginia districts get in the House.

If SCOTUS undoes Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v. Callais, it will eliminate race-based redistricting and the Democrats will be in big trouble. They rely on Section 2 for a lot of seats in the House.

At this point, I’m convinced the borders are being set

This newly revealed scandal from the SPLC is beyond infuriating to me. For most of my life this fraudulent group has gone out of its way to help erase and remove anything Confederate from all physical locations and all aspects of culture. It has all been done under grossly false information and opinions all in the name of "racism". Now we find out again there is not enough actual hate and racism so hate and racism has to be invented or created ...,and now we see it is being done with taxpayer money.

These people are beyond vile.

We already know what the Trump admin is going to do about it as well as the Virginia referendum:

It is. Gerrymandering isn't illegal. The Brown Groyper cope is that Trump started this Gerrymandering, and it's costing us Red seats. The truth is Democrats have been Gerrymandering aggressively for years and the Rino response was moral indignation and shit themselves. The Red State Redistricting was Republicans finally fighting back in a war they've been the victim of for a long time.

And it has the Dems completely panicked. Both Virginia and California's redistricting is further Gerrymander to a level that is not allowed by their state constitution or laws. Both are asking to "pretty please temporarily allow us to break our own laws to make up for other states playing our game, just until 2030, we will switch it back we promise."

As it stands, the Dems have gained a single seat amongst the Redistricting War. Florida is going to fire their salvo, and with their current 20-8 R-D split, if they can shift just half of those to R seats, it's a +3 shift. That's before theVRA ruling(that I think Mississippi has a more favorable map waiting on, not very confident on that memory), that's after, iirc, Indiana Republicans sabotage their own redistricting to help their Dem buddies and blamed it on Trump saying the retard word.

They've already put their foot in the scales so hard, there's only so much more they can do to stack the odds when the Republicans have barely even started playing the game.

The other issue is that its the one of the mainstream civilizational models that is resistant to feminism right now. Western Christian culture hasnt brewed a answer yet and maybe never will.

Feminism is quite literally killing the west (and the Asian east) via birth rate decline.

India and the Muslim world are the ones that seem resistant to it. Which is pretty despairing.

Sorry for quasi-necro-posting, but this is wrong and a common misconception.

If you look at the actual statistics (get chatgpt or something to help you with the python) the only proper predictor/correlation is with female education. Even Muslim countries that give women education have cratering birth rates.

You can probably explain it via hidden variables (economical or whatever), but there's nothing magical about Islam that keeps birthrates high (you can also look at which group in e. g. Israel keeps their population from shrinking rapidly).

Did Trump actually refer to POWs as suckers or whatever for getting caught?

Short answer: no

Long answer: He implied that John McCain might not have been a good soldier because he got captured and said he preferred soldiers who DIDN'T get captured. It was a dig at McCain for sure but I think Trump has shown he cares for POWs with how quickly the two shot-down pilots were recovered in Iran. Note that McCain was also a jet pilot and shot down during a sortie so the situation is basically the same.

The courts more often than not go in his favor, even the Tariff one outlined how he needed to do what he was doing(basically he can't do spot tariffs outside specific imports, he can just turn off trade and he can tariff anything he likes through the US Trade Rep, it is just a little slower) the problem with the courts is it puts things he wants to do in hold.

In this direction in works in his favor, though I expected it to already have been tried in California.
 
Appellate Agreement About Alligator Alcatraz!
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center “Alligator Alcatraz,” located in the Florida Everglades, will remain open following an appeals court decision. The appeals court upheld its previous decision to halt a judge’s order for the center to cease operations.

According to the Associated Press (AP), a majority on the three-judge panel from the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that the state-run institution was not under federal control. The judges argued that the center did not need to comply with federal law requiring an environmental impact review, countering U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams’ preliminary injunction.

“Florida, not federal, officials constructed the facility,” the majority wrote. “They control the land and ‘entirely’ built the facility at state expense.”

That's like the main white pill here, there is still a lot of time to do things, provided that the extremely homosexual war on Iran ends soon, that is.

He should really stop saying every election he didn't win was rigged. Let's see, iowa 2016, 2020 general election, 2016 minnesota, 2024 minnesota, 2025 virginia and new jersey, 2026 virginia again... Did i miss any?

I mean, you saw the vote split on those mail-in ballots. Your definition of "rigged" can vary, but they clearly act as an easy way for the DNC to harvest votes from lazy shitheads who wouldn't be bothered otherwise.
