What this recent election brought to my attention was the dominance that Republicans have in states’ governments and the possibility of enacting a constitutional amendment. The Constitution permits a “constitutional convention of the states” to propose amendments which then go to state legislatures for ratification.

Most projections indicate that 2018 midterms will be very defensive for Democrats. At this point predicting the future in Trump’s America is a fool’s errand but conventional wisdom seems to hold that Democrats will have to fight not to lose seats while Republican seats up for reelection are largely safe. But really,

Agreed, because the logic takes us to: President Trump invites Russian warplanes to bomb New York and California.

I agree, but I think there are elements that could have potential. I’d enjoy getting a second, more pedestrian opinion on some of the snacktakus. I think it would be fun to have a second person to provide color, background, hype or even free associate on taste and smell. I thought Cecelia’s observation that her

Your ass is very wise indeed.

One person’s shithole is another person’s honeypot.

What perplexes me are the people who downloaded all his videos to save them for.... what? Posterity? So they can watch then again and again (like you know they never will)? To preserve this historical record for their grandchildren? I was young and I am still obsessive and compulsive about my fandom, but even I have

I’m not a current subscriber and rarely watch him, but I think I would have subscribed to his new channel if he actually pulled the trigger on the 50M channel.

In a perfect world, of course. But the reality is that Ivanka (along with Donny and Eric) will be too occupied to handle a mundane daily briefing. These kids need to be out there, pressing the flesh with world leaders, spreading Trump’s brand and real estate interests, and generally making tons of money on the

Make sure the person delivering and briefing Trump is a smoking hot blonde with tits, a great ass, and long legs dressed like a sexy librarian and Trump will happily show up. Whether he pays attention or not is a different matter.
...will also need to provide a chaperon for the woman’s protection.

So long as fake news and the electoral college favor Republicans...

There was a screen name change to go along with it

hahahaha I hadn’t noticed that. More like 4-6 servings.

I think I finally have an avatar.

The caramel apple raised an interesting point about portion sizes. They are dividing an apple into 12-16 slices and calling each slice a “portion,” which is obviously bullshit. A caramel apple is one portion. Maybe, if you share, you split the apple in two and get two portions, but that’s it. The whole idea that you

I’m thinking he would be an improvement over what we’re facing now. Zaphod, at least, has style and a sense of fun.
