In short, no. The states conduct elections. Congress can provide the oversight and changes in regulations. And with a GOP majority, maybe he’s thinking of that.
Donald Trump’s own words: with Texas redistricting and only paper ballots, politics will be over.
Is this the new most dangerous thing he’s said?
Good morning to everyone but Patrick. (Little known fact, if I was born 12 hours earlier on March 17th, I would’ve been named Patrick. (But I wouldn’t have thought I was smart enough to do all the world’s research for myself.))
Do we need a break from politics? Sure! But be sure to let me know your answers too. ⤵️ ⤵️ ⤵️ ⤵️
Good morning to everyone except this guy.
Trump’s mastered his own art of the deal: failing. The meeting in Alaska was a dog and pony show. And the Press Conference where details were given and questions answered? Nothing. Putin got everything from his red carpet visit to the U.S. and Ukraine and America got nothing.
Trump is a failure.
Thank you!
But wait! Now countries are enacting retaliatory tariffs. That means that goods we make in America are worth much less when we need to sell them overseas! (Farmers, that’s especially you.)
So in the end, we all have much less money to spend on more expensive shoes!
See how this doesn’t work? 4/4
But most likely, you’ll also have to raise the price at the store and hope people will still buy your shoes.
Since a tariff is a tax, the American consumer will have to pay a lot more on a lot of things. 3/4
You could go to your manufacturer and tell them you’re not going to pay them as much. (But they won’t care because the rest of the world will still pay them fifty bucks.)
You could try to cut your own profit margin by laying off workers or lowering the quality for the same product. 2/4
Welcome to Day #1 of Trump’s Tariffs!
Say you own a company that sells shoes. And to keep them affordable, you have them made in Vietnam and pay $50 for each pair.
As of today, you’ll now owe $10 more to the U.S. Federal Government for every pair. 1/4
Happy Sunday to everyone but this guy!
This shouldn’t have to be reminded to everyone, but here we are.
You’ve gotta wonder that if he wants this ballroom so bad, he’s not planning on leaving the White House at the end of his term…
Amazing! “I wish Trump would spend a quarter of a billion dollars on a ballroom for all his parties” is exactly what I hear from my constituents!
Non political post: I made a homemade lasagna. (I’m Scandinavian, not Italian so gimme some grace.)
By this logic, the GOP’s map makes it as if there are 25,263,000 Republicans and only 6,700,000 Democrats in Texas. It’s outrageous.
Current TX Map:
🟥25 GOP seats
🟦13 Dem seats
Proposed TX map:
🟥30 GOP-leaning seats
🟦8 Dem-leaning seats
The GOP knows they’ll lose so the only thing they have is to cheat.
