“The way Redistricting is playing out the last 2 years(2027 and 2028 of Trump will be like the LAST 2 years(2019 and 2020) of Trump. “
I agree. The communists are well funded with dark money and are likely to take the House. Then, it will be a daily impeachment.
Hard to believe that Virginia was a baston of patriots up until this last 20-30 years.
I wonder if the Democrat play is really going to weaken their current districts by spreading out too thin.
Oh my, more pearl clutching over an MSN article.
100% U.S. Government employee voter base. Virginia. A pure communist socialist state. Everybody works for the gubmint. Now, the Park Service ahos want a union. Grand Canyon shut down all its hotels and motels “because off all the water leaks.” They can’t get water to the South Rim through the old 1960 water pipeline that was supposed to last only 25 years. I’ve got a feeling that their union fiasco is why they really closed everything down. NPS employees don’t need a corrupt union. It’s already expensive as hell to visit a park. I don’t think we should have to pay more to have union thugs pointing out squirrels and pine cones to us.
Wake up and smell the coffee, Indiana.
Going from 6-5 (D) to 8-3 (D) in Virginia? That is doable, without even breaking much of a sweat. The current Virginia map is pretty much as fair as can be for Republicans, and Democrats were irate that the “independent” redistricting commission didn’t screw the GOP in Virginia last time around (see also: Michigan, Arizona, Washington, Colorado).
9-2 in Virginia? Maybe (probably) not. They claim to be aiming for 10-1, which sounds ridiculous. But never underestimate the Evil Party (as opposed to the Stupid Party).
Here’s the solution.
Find and fun Donald Dems in every ‘Rat primary for every office.
And if folks don’t believe they exist...
Ask the WH about us. They know we do.
You could ask Deep State, but they’re too terrified of us to acknowledge our existence.
FL hasn’t gone yet,we will pick up 5 seats thete.
fkin scumbags
With the R states redistricting also, the R’s should pick ups more seats than the D’s? Tell me where I am wrong?
“ The political party that seceded from the Union to keep American blacks enslaved in defiance of a Republican president in the 19th century,,,”
False. That is not THE reason. People love to say that, but slavery in and of itself was not “THE” reason.
Democrats LOVE slavery. They MUST have it ... One way or another. If not overtly, then covertly. Keep them beholden and on welfare. All that “free” stuff will eventually disappear because less and less people work to pay the taxes that support it.
If/when they wake up, all they will see is a plantation they chose as far as the eye can see.
If we could somehow adopt politically neutral districting everywhere, the problem would end. But the Democrats are using their judiciary to mandate their gerrymandering and ban Republican catch-up gerrymandering.
Fu and all of you chicken little pricks.
Virginia to elect ALL Democrats with redistricting
The FR thread titles that we're seeing concerning gerrymandering by elite, desperate Democrats are effectively evidence (imo) of Democrats UNTHINKINGLY BRAGGING that they are violating Section 2 of the 14th Amendment, that section a penalty for states where ballot box fraud has occurred.
Note the zero tolerance, "hair trigger" wording of that section which federal and state governments, under the boots of the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties, are evidently ignoring imo.
But when the right to vote at any election
is denied to any
or in any way abridged,
Section 2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election [all emphases added] for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State. [Apportionment of Representatives]
In fact, consider that the post-Civil War congressional Republicans who drafted Section 2 made it to discourage Southern Democrats (my words) from rigging the ballot boxes that Democrats are now alleged to have done for 2020, 2022 and possibly earlier elections!
Because slavery (except as punishment for crime) had been abolished by the Thirteenth Amendment, the freed slaves would henceforth be given full weight for purposes of apportionment. This situation was a concern to the Republican leadership of Congress, who worried that it would increase the political power of the former slave states, even as such states continued to deny freed slaves the right to vote. —Apportionment of Representatives
The uniparty of the post-Civil War cold war is seemingly trying to reverse the outcome of that war imo.
More evidence that the corrupt uniparty, front-ended by the post-17th Amendment ratification Democratic and Republican parties imo, are wrongly ignoring Section 2 is the following third-party opinions of that section.
No serious effort was ever made in Congress to effectuate § 2, and the only judicial attempt was rebuffed.2 , cert. denied, 328 U.S. 870 (1946). —Apportionment Clause
The Section had long been dead. But there are two camps of legal scholars who wish to revive it. The first consists of those who would like to see Section Two enforced to punish states that abridge their citizens’ right to vote, especially in the wake of Shelby County v. Holder. Recently, Joshua Geltzer, the executive director at Georgetown’s Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection and the former senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council, added himself to this camp. The second camp is using Section Two, which distinguishes on the basis of gender, as evidence that Section One’s Equal Protection Clause does not prohibit gender-based discrimination. Jonathan Mitchell spearheads this movement. —The Worrisome Ghost of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Second Section
Consider that Thomas Jefferson had warned against ignoring parts of the Constitution.
The general rule [is] that an instrument is to be so construed as to reconcile and give meaning and effect to all its parts. — Thomas Jefferson to -----, 1816. ME 14:445
Regarding alleged gerrymandering by Texas, consider that what Texas is doing is likely reversing a previous Democratic gerrymander.
First of all, ditching the current districts, which were created by a “non-partisan” commission, will require an amendment to the Virginia constitution to be voted on by a statewide election. That is unlikely to happen before November 2026.
Secondly, those who claim the Democrats will capture 9, 10, or all 11 districts have no idea what the political landscape is like in this state. The Republicans currently have 5 seats. Three of them are safe seats, in the west and southwest parts of the state. Two of them are competitive, and the only districts they can target.
Oh stop. They seceded from the Union so that they might govern themselves instead of sending 65 million dollars per year to Washington DC that got spent in the North.
The Confederates were going to get hundreds of millions of dollars per year simply from being separated from the United States.
Also, President Lincoln urged the ratification of the Corwin Amendment, which passed the House and Senate by a 2/3rds majority and was sent to the states for ratification.
The Corwin Amendment guaranteed permanent slavery in the United States, and our government voted for that.
So the fight wasn't over slavery, the fight was over money. Specifically the money they kept taking from the South year after year.
The North wanted to keep it coming, and the South wanted to stop paying it.
It's that simple.
Everything else is just made up propaganda.
