Not a bot.
It just…does’t always work out like that. Try doing that to NYC, for example. You also often end up putting multiple incumbents in the same district. While there’s no requirement that a Rep live in their district, it’s usually a tough sell to voters.

The problem with “cracking,” as it’s called, is you risk getting wiped out with a somewhat minor swing. Turning a smaller number of safe seats into a larger number of lean seats is a gamble.

But this really has been the essence of Ministries since Blair though, hasn’t it?

They’re intentionally being obtuse and counting the Confederate states.
December 31, 2025 at 4:01 AM
I meant the states that hadn’t joined the Confederacy (the states the election was conducted in).

Blockading Venezuela because of oil nationalization that began 50 years ago and ended 20 years ago is QUITE the long grievance game.

And…how much of the Union was under Confederate occupation in 1864? How much of it’s population had been deported? Fled abroad? Just such a patently absurd comparison.

How much of the Union was under Confederate occupation in 1864? How much of its population had been forcibly transferred to another sovereign state? How much of its population had fled abroad?

Also, there was (and is) no legal mechanism for the US to delay an election.

Freemason police corruption? This is a thing?

What about eliminating capital gains and dividends rate and tax all realized gains and dividends as ordinary income?
December 31, 2025 at 12:18 AM
Or a small tax increase, a small benefit decrease and a small age increase and you’re good for a hundred years.

This sounds far more compelling than what is served there now!

Bless you!

The leadership in these states don’t believe there should be non-parochial schools.
December 30, 2025 at 4:23 PM
How about eliminating the capital gains and dividend rates entirely and tax it all as regular earned income?

Would very much enjoy a legible scan of the menu!

I fondly remember waiting at such a situation for 5 minutes in a small city at 11:30 at night because an old woman was eying me, sensing my desire to cross and preemptively clucking when I twitched to maybe begin raising my foot.

Any student unfortunate enough to take this moron’s class aught to demand a pro-rated tuition refund.

Creative way to say no to the plan without seeming unreasonable.

And ultimately, the Palantir caused Sauron’s downfall by mistaking Pippin for Frodo and sending the Nazgûl after him instead of watching Ithilien, and by attacking Gondor too early when Aragorn intentionally revealed himself thorough it.

Definitely would have been a useful warning label. Maybe combine it with the consent to cookie acknowledgement.
December 29, 2025 at 4:32 AM
Not inherently though, only because Sauron had one and used it to deceive.
