^ Yep, the whole stunt was a disgraceful waste of taxpayers' money, prob to deflect people's attention from what's really being worked out by the Trump admin, e.g. the surreptitious sabotaging of Obamacare, the review of gerrymandering, the absense of any plan apart from bluster regarding NKorea, etc.

Yes, what with Jerries=Huns, jerry-building, gerrymandering and jerry-rigging, people called Jerry probably feel unfairly put upon. For different reasons, people called "Willie,""Dick" or "Fanny" might feel aggrieved too.

Damn what a sucker.
Yo Pence if you're reading this, I can make you the best scrambled eggs you've ever had for the low price of $2500 per egg.

That may be true of the electoral college—and that's bad enough—but it's actually far, far worse in the Senate. Each state gets two senators regardless of size so the 600,000 people in Wyoming collectively have just as much say as the 40,000,000 people in California. Unless my math is wrong, that mean an individual voter in Wyoming has almost 80 times the voice in the US Senate than an individual voter in California. |

Salt & Pepper is extra, of course.

Not to mention senators don't represent their constituents in any state. Voters in Wyoming and California have exactly the same voice. None. That's why we shouldn't vote. Don't voluntarily actively participate in a lie that reinforces your own oppression.
