Common? Yes.
Acceptable? Not so much.
Completely disrespectful and inhumane to the people who work for him. Imagine being required to get in the car with someone with a potentially deadly disease.
The narcissist loves putting on staged photo ops.
Gerrymandering is a thing, yes, but it is relevant only to elections with districts. (I think a better districting system needs to be implemented.)
But statewide elections - e.g. governor, senator - aren’t impacted by gerrymandering. They can be impacted by things like, say, the governor making voting relatively more difficult for some voters.
It would be nice if there were more uniformity in voting in the U.S. I have heard that constituents in states with full mail-in voting really like it. Any AFers want to comment on that?
lol yea. the ■■■■ they pull in texas is legendary from what i hear in terms of where you can vote for where the minorities live. its interesting though, on a national scale. all the libtards are clustering at coastal states specifically in major urban centers. im thinking things will change due to the high prices combined with covid unemployment which will send them all to the poorer republican areas.

First he said to stop the COVID relief package negotiations, then he said to resume them.
The man’s bonkerser than usual.
We need to eat the babies!
Is the child separation policy’s goal to turn babies into food? Charlie Work*, please advise. Tanks!
*Why is even T-u-r-d a censored word? This is horseshit!
he who must not be named
Is Charlie that dude from Citi who was running a Qanon website or just a russian bot? We’ll never know.
Also, haven’t heard much about hydroxychloroquine. I guess when push came to shove, Trump stuck with science and not treatments recommended by the MyPillow guy.

I put my 2020 ballot in a drop box the other day. Felt great to vote against this clown and his many enablers. If you’re going to vote, don’t wait till the last minute.
Meanwhile, the picture of health…
Sigh.
How many fewer Americans would have died if we had a different president?
The annual flu kills about 30-60k people. Covid has killed around 250k so far. Is this really worth all the damage we’ve done so far to keep the economy going/standing? We have a generation that got reared by the subprime crisis and now got shafted by corona. Maybe it’s time to admit that everything has a price tag.
