Tom Morello Clarifies He Votes, But Not For “Corporate Democrats”

Last weekend, former Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello held his star-studded one-day Power To The People festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. The whole event was framed as a left-wing political gathering, and Morello joined Bruce Springsteen for a set of protest songs. Before the show, Morello did a Rolling Stone…

my wife said the car keys were in her purse but all i could find was:

The Pleiades star cluster
A clay tablet with a written complaint about inferior copper from Ea-nāṣir
The feeling between ennui and langour
An unused boron or hafnium control rod for a compact pressurized water reactor from an Ohio-class nuclear submarine
A Service Pack 4 installation CD for Windows NT 3.51 Workstation

Magyar Péter bejelentette: 2027-től jön az eddigi terveknél is szigorúbb vagyonadó

Magyar Péter az országjárása szolnoki állomásán bejelentette, hogy a Tisza programjának megfelelően 2027. január elsejétől bevezetik a vagyonadót. A kormány az eredetileg vállaltaknál szigorúbb feltételeket szab: egy bizonyos összeghatár, például 500 milliárd forintos vagyon felett az adó mértéke az 1 százalékot is meghaladhatja. A miniszterelnök a KATA adózás lehetőségének széleskörű kiterjesztéséről is beszélt, egyúttal belengette, hogy a katások nyugdíjjogosultságának rendezése céljából némil

Say you have 2 districts

votes 60-40 for #Republicans
votes 55-45 for #Democrats

So you move district borders around

Now you have

54-46 for Republicans
52-48 for Republicans

This is #gerrymandering

This is the #USA's stupidity

But!

What if you have a deeply unpopular president?

If you never moved the districts, #voter sentiment swing might leave one Republican district

But now you lose both districts

This might happen in #Texas:

Rising or falling depending upon how bigoted someone is should be enough lesson and personal motivation. It's not hard. It's not like culture and society isn't screaming the lesson constantly. So some will learn, some won't. If some won't: oh well Again, why do we have the job of doing someone else's fundamental social responsibility for them. It's a fool's errand.

Trump says deal struck to boost U.S. military presence in Greenland | CBC News
