    If you want to give Florida to Canada. Be my guest. Something tells me though that would be a bigger loss than freaking Montana.

    Clear violation of PF.com policy on opening threads in Current Events.... yet no action taken. Curious...

    Even more curious is the jawdropping fascination with many on here with the concept of transgender people. Not 2 days can go by without more forum spam on this topic.

    Projection? Fear? Arousal?

    Your guess is as good as mine...

    Geez, even some Jews in prewar Germany had some marginal power.... There were certainly company and bank owners in that group.

    I would think it more accurate to compare the transgender community in this country to the Gypsy/Roma community in Europe at the time.

    To do this, the Nazis turned to “racial hygiene” (Rassenhygiene), also known as eugenics. Using this pseudo-science, they sought to determine who was Romani based on physical characteristics.

    Roma became subject to the Nuremberg Race Laws shortly after the laws were passed in 1935. They were also subject to the Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Progeny and the Law against Dangerous Habitual Criminals. Many Roma who came to the attention of the state were required to be sterilized.

    Man, don't let the GOP in red states get ahold of the phrase 'Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Progeny'.... It'll be like Christmas Day for them...

    And you just proved why the electoral college exists. People like YOU would allow states to crumble because like you said, “who cares”. Sounds pretty shitty doesn’t it?

    Ding ding ding. Winner winner chicken dinner:)

    Hope you learned something this morning?

    I personally have no problem with Montana having their limited votes in the EC, although I do have a problem with EC votes being distributed as 'winner take all'. That's not representative of the will of the voters in any state, from California to Montana...

    Fun Fact - Did you know Joe Biden gained D vote margin in Montana in 2020 over 2016?

    Candidates never go to every state. Not exactly feasible. But they do have to listen and they do. States like Montana aren’t exactly demanding either. Remember why that Tea Party happened way back when? Some people didn’t like being told what to do without being acknowledged.

    And /golfclap for not giving a … You’re a great US citizen and we should all strive to be more like you:)

    Actually you've just proved why the EC hurts voters in states like Montana.

    Montana has voted to give their electoral votes to Republicans in every election (except once in 1992) since 1968 (and only twice have they gone Democrat since 1952) Almost 50 years! What does that mean?

    It means that the voters in MT can safely be ignored. No one has to address their concerns because it's not going to make a difference of how their Electoral Votes are allocated. MT had 4 EV from 1968 to 1988 and 3 EV since then. Do you think either party gives a rat's behind what issues are important to the people of Montana? No, because those 3 EV are going to end up in the Republican column no matter what.

    Yes you should.


    It didn’t. It wasn’t as smart as you thought it was. And you missed the boat so far you drowned.

    Disrupting official proceedings and trespassing, so yes.

    Tha J6ers who committed violence can rot, imo. But the vast bulk of them that were held for years, some still being held, only trespassed. Like these folks.

    They should get the same treatment right?

    Lol….did you report me, AJ?

    In the last year alone we had insurrections in Montana, Tennessee and Arizona. There may be more, but left wing insurrections don’t seem to get much media attention. Then there was the summer of love where buildings were looted and burned, people were assaulted and murdered, and liberals tried to kill cops by barricading them in the station and setting it on fire.

    An uprising against government is an insurrection.

    Words have meaning, or at least that’s what the left constantly says. Call this guy the wrong pronoun and see what happens.

    So, your excuse for insurrection is "protest, mostly peaceful"... got it. I suspect that being called on your own standard is terribly annoying, but y'all did set this standard.

    Just another case of feigned outrage by the right. A cheap excuse to use their supermajority to quash dissent.
    If congress censured every politician who used the expression 'blood on your hands' there wouldn't be many people left to govern. Just a cheap excuse to use their majority. So, I don't think this censure was about proper decorum. To try to argue that it was would be imbecilic.

    Hmmm... if they are "refugees" from CA, why would they bring a CA voting pattern to red states?

    I think the word you were looking for are transplants.... and we need more where they'll do the most good.

    Unfortunately, many red states are essentially uninhabitable wastelands...

    I'm still trying to figure out what Montana (and Tennessee a few weeks ago) hope to gain by gag ordering their members?

    Just let her speak and ignore her... the way politics USED to be done...

    All it does is draw attention to these people, making them household names. 4 weeks later, and I still know the names of the Tennessee Three..

    And now I have to remember the goofy name Zooey Zephyr. Sounds like the name of somebody Trump would have asked to spank him in the past....

    So? Black people as a voting block have been voting D for as long as they were relevant, and ACCORDING TO THEM, systemic racism is still alive and well, no different than the 60s. They're pushing the same **** as back then=) So, if Dems couldn't help them, why keep voting for them?

    And the alternative is worse. Democrats have already proven they don't give a **** about you unless you do exactly as told. And even when you do, they'll still treat you as a pet. Hillary made that VERY clear in 2016 against Trump. Admitted it week after week how she couldn't give a damn about so many areas and so many people. Current Leftists like a few in this thread have made it painfully obvious.
