You probably guessed it's from AC/DC's Highway to Hell. Never thought I would quote it in a serious context. These Christians have supported a president who is responsible for a treatment of children that can be described as torture and they continue to support their leader when he trusts a man working actively to undermine democracy (Putin) over democratic institutions in the USA. They gave up all their ideals in their search for power that the promised land is certainly starting to look, smell and feel like hell. So far, unfortunately, the innocent children have had to pay the price. I fear that it is not the end.

You've pretty much stated in the past you voted for Trump because of the Supreme Court, which I assume primarily means 'stopping abortion' for you, so which part of Tass's statement was wrong exactly?"I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell

A)Hillary isn't POTUS
2)SCOTUS isn't Hillary's
so which part of Tass's statement was wrong exactly?

Trumps capitulation to putin is not a conspiracy theory. It is exactly what he did yesterday in front of the entire world.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

Having a few states control the entire country would be a disaster. The other states would have no say in the government. It is the united STATES of America. Much like the EU, each state has its own government and wants a voice in the federal government. And within each state there are counties, and each county has a government and wants a say in the state government. We are a representative democracy all the way down to the city level.
I mean, I could be totally wrong about this. Is there a real alignment in voting along state lines, even among those of different parties? Or is state largely incidental in this factor?

Originally posted by Terraceth View PostIs there really any "alignment" by state in the House of Representatives? Alignment in the House of Representatives seems to be done principally by party, not by state. And if everyone's representing party interests rather than state interests, I'm not sure that the idea of a few states controlling the entire House of Representatives is really plausible of a fear because state doesn't seem like that strong a factor in how someone votes. Any geographic loyalty seems to be to their specific district, not their state as a whole. I mean, you look at Paul Ryan, and then you look at, say, Mark Pocan (same state) and there's very few similarities I see.

Hackers could create mischief -- some say "chaos" -- but the election system is resilient enough to withstand shocks. The key concern, experts feel, is public perception: Sowing distrust is easily achieved even without successful hacks.
