Don't forget, if you write "black" instead of "Black" you're a Nazi racist bigot.

And don't ever forget, if you write "Kiev" instead of, well, whatever, you're a Russian asset.

Bought and paid for!

How many times over we'll discover as the stench of corruption slowly drips from the festering arsehole of the Trumpist cult.

The REAL story on Pam Bondi, Trump University, and Trump's $25,000 payment to Bondi: 1/ In August 2013, I was at the NY AG, and Bondi was Florida AG. On August 24, 2013, I filed the NY AG's prosecution of Trump University and Donald Trump, for $42 million in fraud.

This is why we have confirmation hearings before the Senate. I look forward to Democratic Senators getting to the bottom of this. I'd love to hear what Pam Bondi says.

We already know that Dems are freaking the fuck out about this nomination, and it isn't because of the bribery allegations, is it? Don't lie.

Frankly, this nomination disappoints me. I was promised misogyny. What happened?

It's because she's a vengeful, paranoid and mendacious grifter who has promised to persue public servants, despite zero evidence.

HOLY SMOKES!!! Pam Bondi in August 2023, saying on live TV that when Donald Trump wins, he will weaponize the Department of Justice. Matt Gaetz is irrelevant right now. We must focus on the real danger, Pam Bondi.

What can I tell you? Elections have consequences. You do understand that your characterization and hyperbole aren't facts, right?

Recess appointments are still not entirely off the table. In that case, an confirmation hearing could be swerved.

In fairness, the people we are mentioning are all at the fore of American politics. Part of the reason why we know them is because they are.

I can't speak to how well local politicians may do outside of the local politician my City/ State

The rest of your questions are a little more complicated for me to answer, since I'm not as well versed in the system ran over on your side.

I'll differ to the guys who are knowledgeable about both systems.

But as a general rule, the Federal Government is supposed to have limited powers. I.e powers enumerated in the Constitution. And everything else, in theory , should be left to the Individual States.

However, over time the, the Federal Government has amassed more power and reach. So it's a bit murky.

In its simplest form, representation comes in the form of the Membership from each State to the Senate and from each district to Congress. And those 2 bodies primarily make laws. The President ( voted by the public ) then simply is charged with the execution of those Laws in addition to specific powers reserved to the President.

Can't tell you if it's better or worse than what you have

That’s actual informative, thanks.
I obviously know what the states are. Can I ask what constitutes a district. Is it internal to a state or does it comprise more than one state?
