Any talk on Trump cleaning up DC here?
Some figures suggest over 1.5M illegals self-deported.
How about the fight Republicans are showing now on the gerrymandering.
The book on the Trump legacy will be a good one. Seems like most people are getting majority of what they wanted all along.

Oh goodie, another person who thinks partisan gerrymandering hasn’t been utilized extensively by both sides since the beginning.
Okay, and I’ll use the data that pretends to back me up while I’m doing so.
Please feel free to provide me with some solid evidence that partisan gerrymandering has more positively affected Dems.
…what is clear about it?
Maybe in volume, due to the number of people in those states. Proportionately? Nah.
The 10 Worst Gerrymandered States in the Country
Monday marked another escalation in the mid-cycle redistricting fight between Republicans in Texas and Democrats in California – with one in another special session to add 5 more GOP seats, and the other maneuvering to counter this with 5 new Democratic seats.

Take a stroll through that top ten and let me know if you see an overwhelming Democratic win here.
Odd how Maryland is far more gerrymandered than NC but it didnt beat it.The 10 Worst Gerrymandered States in the Country

I’m sure this source is wholesome and of course Cali not being on this list is hysterical.
First one I found and I’m not taking their individual rankings into account here. But all these states are doing the same damn thing.

This is what happens when you huff too much spray paint as a teenager, you become a stupid you can't comprehend.
NYS had 8 out of 26 reps as republicans. EVen if we go with the clearly rigged 2024 election (boy it's fun to flip this election shit on you) that's withing 15 percentage points of the votes Trump got. Which I'm assuming is what you're going off of.
Texas meanwhile has 12 out of 38 seats for dems which is, you guessed it within 15 percentage points of the votes Kamala got.
Where this breaks down is states like Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Illinois, this isn't a red state/blue state issue, this is a everyone does it some are just better (North Carolina) than others.
Its pretty clear - If one side is more gerrymandered than the other now than the other side will benefit more from an extreme push to further gerrymander.
But we have seen the reports already - The rebublicans have far more of an opportunity to pick up seats. There is a reason for that.
Yes, population distribution and control of state legislatures. Doesn’t mean that gerrymandering is happening more by Dems than Republicans.
The only place I’ll cede some ground is that due to courts enforcing certain race-based districting, that Dems have an inherent advantage in some areas they otherwise wouldn’t. And I actually happen to agree with the right that districting should not consider the racial makeup of the proposed maps, despite my positions on other race-related topics.
I mean, yeah. If we were serious about making the government more efficient and fighting the deficit, we’d be looking for ways to not waste money. Making a wall hotter in the sunlight (on the American side?!) doesn’t seem like an efficient use of our tax dollars.
