From an article about electing the president by popular vote:

"The upside to the swing state system is that it forces national campaigns to focus on the diverse regional interests of places like Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Mexico instead of simply trying to appeal to the entire nation all at once."

So it's a *feature* of the current system that some states matter more than others?! Are you fucking kidding me?

DAVID MARCUS: Why Democrats' harebrained popular vote scheme

Democrats push to replace the electoral college with a national popular vote compact as Virginia becomes the 18th state to sign on to the agreement.

Tiens, j'avais jamais remarqué, dans "Les Aventures de Gérard Lambert" de Renaud:

"Alors, pendant une demi-heure
Dans son moteur il tripatouille
Il est crevé, il est en sueur
Il a du cambouis jusqu'aux coudes
Dans le lointain le jour se lève comme d'habitude"

"coudes" rime pas avec "tripatouille".

Joyeuse journée Gérard Lambert à tous!

Reminds me of how, when push came to shove, Democrats kicked Al Franken out of the Senate, while Republicans doubled down on their support of Roy Moore.

Looks like #trump fucked up so bad with his Jesus cosplay that even BillDo won't defend it: https://www.catholicleague.org/pope-and-president-clash/
"Trump does not help his case by posing as Jesus blessing a bedridden man; he released this Truth Social picture after he criticized Leo. It is offensive and immature."

And that's the paragraph after the one where he praises mass deportations.
