This actually absurdly important. The census is the basis for drawing districts, which is how the current map got so gerrymandered.

Well, the current map is so gerrymandered because Republicans had control of so many statehouses at the time the Census happened, not necessarily because of specific Census results.

Russia ? Collusion ? Who cares.

I believe there was significant undercount of cities in last census, and census methodology was a 'political' issue prior to the census.

Obama wanted to use a sampling method, the GOP successfully sued to force a head count.

I am at this point with the whole ****ing lot of them. Someone, some old, sick, dying bleeding heart, WILL take one for the team one of these days and just exterminate the whole group. We will really need a designated survivor.

Sinclair now owns 70% of local US TV stations

They agreed to give positive coverage to Trump in exchange for access.

Most olds get their news still from the local TV stations.

By coincidence, Giuliani going to WH tomorrow. Lavrov too. Seems like an awesome opportunity to put out some more Russia is a hoax tweets and float some random names for that new job opening.

Was it Obama or the statisticians? Pretty sure it wasn't Obama. If I recall the GOP got it's nuts in a bunch about counting homeless/undocumented.

Seriously. Just trying to imagine how his phone call to Schumer went.

*Trump presses button to order a coke*

Trump: Jared, Ivanka get in here!
Jared: What are we doing tonight boss?
Trump: You kids always bother me to be nice to Democrats. I've got a great idea, great plan. Just the best. It's unbelievable. Believe me.
Ivanka: What is it Daddy?
Trump: Just watch

*Trump dials a number*

Trump: Hey Chuck. This is the Donald. Listen, you guys don't like this Comey chump right?
Chuck: Uh. Not really.
Trump: Well listen. I'm reading a 2 sentence summary of Nate Silver's Article. This guy says Comey won the election. Not me! Can you believe that? Did you know I got 306 electoral votes? It was amazing. Nobody can believe it.
Chuck: Ok...
Trump: So listen. I'm going to head over to the FBI and let him know he's gone. I'm going to point my finger at him and tell him "you're fired". I love those words.
Chuck: Are you serious?
Trump: Nah. That's a long walk. I just sent my bodyguard over with a note.
Chuck: ...
Trump: So you're going to go on that ***** Maddow's show tonight and talk about how great I am right? Who said we couldn't work together. Art of the deal. This is so much fun. Comey said he was done investigating me by the way. Told me 3 times. 3 times! Amazing! I'll talk to you soon. Bye!

That's a little glib. Instead they will probably join together and DEMAND with ONE UNITED, HEROIC VOICE that Trump convene a special Blue Ribbon Commission to study America's Policing Future.

Yeah. They seriously just could have scrapped Repeal and Replace for Rename and Pretend.

And gotten away with a fair bit of greed just due to people lag effects of implementation of past and future policies, and people being flat out incapable of sorting through that stuff.

No, I'm an old, and I'm saying any allegation of this Sinclair conspiracy is part of the fake news that Trump warned us about

Groundwork has more than been laid

Not sure how trading access for positive coverage is a conspiracy when it's been done before, it's just the continuing further problem of less people owning more things controlling more and more of the narrative.

Also, not sure what the point here is since you know that I know most trump voters are essentially in confederacy vs union mode? Other side might wanna start thinking the same or they're gonna lose this go around imo.
