    Trump impeachment,would witnesses have made a difference?

    Call it chemo brain or something. Please either show me where you have refuted me, provide links...something? BTW, differing opinions is NOT the same thing as refutation.

    Trump impeachment,would witnesses have made a difference?

    That's the problem...it is not the ability to harm others that is being limited. That is, the coastal insistence upon untenable laws that affect ONLY the folks in the middle negatively is the issue. It does not affect the average New Yorker to have to pay 4 bucks a gallon for gas. Their subway...

    Trump impeachment,would witnesses have made a difference?

    Then don't make so many separate points which require response. the price of gas. The pipeline USDA rules there is, you realize, a reason most of middle America is called 'flyover country" Oh....here's a beauty, though it's more local than most... A California farmer was fined and had his...

    I don't understand the question.

    Trump impeachment,would witnesses have made a difference?

    I would say that the first reason has more than limited validity. I mean, really....how fair would it be to have Texas have the determining factor in policy for most of the states in the northeast? (except New York, of course...)

    Trump impeachment,would witnesses have made a difference?

    Nope. I don't worry about that. After all, my vote wouldn't count for all those folks if those who COULD vote actually did. That they don't vote is, in fact, a vote in and of itself. It's saying 'you vote for me, and your vote will count for mine." I always vote. Always. Even in races where I...

    Trump impeachment,would witnesses have made a difference?

    What story would that be? That was actually my point. The folks 'in the middle' aren't doing the 'arm swinging' here. That would be the coastal folks who want to make everybody do it 'their' way. I haven't seen a Democrat on the coast yet who actually believes that one. What 'fantasy' is...

    Trump impeachment,would witnesses have made a difference?

    I'm fine with that. I'm in California. I USUALLY (not always) vote Republican, knowing full well that my own vote is utterly bowled over by the democrats. My vote counts considerably more in local elections...up to 2,000 people's worth, actually, because people just don't seem to 'get' that...

    Trump impeachment,would witnesses have made a difference?

    Sure it does, in a round about way. It's why the minority has representation in the electoral college; which allows the individual STATES to vote for president, popularly, and the electors of each state vote for POTUS. Works fine.

    Trump impeachment,would witnesses have made a difference?

    Your calling it a strawman doesn't make it one. That IS a valid objection. The fact that the population of the USA is very heavily weighted toward the east and west coasts means that a one-to-one democracy means that pretty much everybody in 'the middle' will be utterly left out of government...

    Trump impeachment,would witnesses have made a difference?

    Not just 'fear of," but the actuality. Whether you and I like it or not, our ancestors COULD have outvoted everybody in Missouri. In a few matters, we did. That we didn't intend to do so in most of the matters that meant so much to the neighbors didn't mean anything. We COULD have, and being...

    Trump impeachment,would witnesses have made a difference?

    So...in your view the people in New York who live in 800 sq ft apartments that cost a couple thousand a month, have never owned a car and don't have a license to drive one, get to where they want to go by either walking a mile or taking the subway, who think that eggs come from the supermarket...

    Trump impeachment,would witnesses have made a difference?

    That was a reply to the claim that the three states I mentioned only held 26% of the population, as if making that claim improved things.

    Trump impeachment,would witnesses have made a difference?

    do you understand the difference between 'you' and 'y'all?"

    Trump impeachment,would witnesses have made a difference?

    the people IN those states have rights, and there is a reason that the name of this country is "the United States of America."

    Trump impeachment,would witnesses have made a difference?

    Y'know, I'd have a lot more respect for positions like yours if y'all hadn't been screaming for his impeachment since before he took office.

    Trump impeachment,would witnesses have made a difference?

    Please look at post 256, where I gave everybody the numbers, which I got from government lists of which states have how many representatives, using my calculator to first, add the numbers of the reps from New York, Florida and California, and then, going from the states with the smallest...

    Trump impeachment,would witnesses have made a difference?

    That makes it worse. Because I was going by the number of representatives the states have in Congress. If you are correct, then right now 26% of the population runs 74% of the nation, IN THE HOUSE. It's a darn good thing that each state has two Senators, isn't it?
  19. dianaiad

    Trump impeachment,would witnesses have made a difference?

    Hmnn. Because it would be like China (which has most of the people) telling us how to run the USA. They do, after all, have a LOT more people than we do. Or.... Once upon a time a group of people moved into the states of New York, Illinois and Missouri ...not necessarily in that order. there...

    Dinosaurs or God? Which is more real?

    yes. And? I still think that the world would be a more magical place with dragons in it. ....though I'm, at present, delighted enough with the idea that dinosaurs had feathers. Please don't forget that I'm a dyed in the wool evolutionist, and have no problems whatsoever in believing in...
