...submit all redistricting to an independent commission to ensure fairness of opportunity. These twisting curving stretched districts are ridiculous. Maybe some day we can get a SCOTUS that would agree.

My Ducks playing Washington Husky’s. The Husky’s best receiver, and they have a lot, is exactly 6’ 3”” tall. He is fast as hell, incredibly athletic and looks tall and very thin. I can’t for the lie of me imagine Trump in HIS uniform and performing like that. But just imagining that image I would choke to death with laughter. And if the Husky’s receivers looked like trump in that guys uniform, at bus 6’ 3”self, my odds of a Duck victory would sky rocket.

No (good) values, no integrity, no patriotism, no love of Country. He is loved by trump. The only bullet on his resume. Republicans love their socialist largesse.

many republicans would be looking for a new job title after the next election.
It was done because it would cost the republican party votes in 2024 and no other reason.
