The more aggressively they act over the phone, the more likely people are to not answer questions, etc.

Also, they could use the census to round up illegal and "illegal," immigrants.

phones aren't used. assuming 2020 follows 2010 protocol.

How is each household counted?

Census questionnaires will be mailed to all U.S. households in March 2010, and people will be asked to provide information that is accurate as of April 1, 2010.

Households that do not respond by mail will be sent a second form. Census takers will visit households that do not respond to the second form, to collect the household's information, or determine if an address is uninhabited.

Census takers may return up to six times to make sure a household is included in the count.

People are counted at the location where they live and sleep most of the year.

I'm pretty sure they call to verify/follow up on some cases, or randomly (or not so randomly). I know someone who claims to have worked for the census in 2010 and their job was placing the calls. Maybe I was lied to, you never know.

I never fill out the census, and far as I know census takers never came snooping around these parts looking for me.

a lot of ppl are scared into doing it b/c of the whole against the law thingy. it's pretty damn time-consuming and taxing if you complete it and take it seriously.

What could Schumer have planned tomorrow morning? There are a few reports that he wants all the Senate Democrats seated at 9am.

When democrats take the high ground, the right wing just tunnels underneath and blows the entire thing the **** up.

If schmucks like us are like "JFC, Trump is corrupt." I wonder what people in Congress really think when not in front of a camera.

This article is amazing: http://www.politico.com/story/2017/0...-russia-238192

Quote:

He had grown enraged by the Russia investigation, two advisers said, frustrated by his inability to control the mushrooming narrative around Russia. He repeatedly asked aides why the Russia investigation wouldn’t disappear and demanded they speak out for him. He would sometimes scream at television clips about the probe, one adviser said.

...

Bipartisan criticism of Comey had mounted since last summer after his lengthy statement outlining why he was closing the investigation into Clinton’s private email server.

But the fallout seemed to take the White House by surprise. Trump made a round of calls around 5 p.m., asking for support from senators. White House officials believed it would be a "win-win" because Republicans and Democrats alike have problems with the FBI director, one person briefed on their deliberations said.

Instead, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told him he was making a big mistake — and Trump seemed "taken aback," according to a person familiar with the call.

How is he so dumb?
