Now he wants to assure that many people will avoid the census, rendering it useless. Once again, Cockholster proves the Rick Wilson Dictum: “Everything Trump Touches Dies.”

This excerpt IMHO, is the clincher. These rumpian appointees flown under MSM attention are systemically implementing PP’s dictatorship.

“Politico reported last month that the administration may appoint to a top job at the bureau a Republican redistricting expert who wrote a book called “Redistricting and Representation: Why Competitive Elections Are Bad for America.” The Census Bureau’s population count determines how the 435 U.S. House seats are distributed.”

Another poorly understood issue with huge implications that will drag everyone into a fight and waste millions of dollars. And it is being framed in such a way that Joe Lunchbox will not understand why they shouldn’t be able to ask that question. And people who say they shouldn’t will be framed as dangerous pro terrorist lefties.

The Republican hegemony, ever since they did computerized gerrymandering of so many states, is so far ahead of the Democrats on this issue it scares me. These are hard tricks to fight and hard arguments to win.

I’m curious who is orchestrating all of this. This census thing, the stealth environmental rollbacks, etc. I can’t think of anyone around him who is capable of this kind of very effective deviousness right now. Is it Bannon on the phone with him?

That’s the beauty of all of this: when we do get back into power, there will be no money to replace/fix/ this stuff and the GOP will start screaming about it naturally.

Between Sessions, Miller, and Kobach, they’re working hard to make sure only the “right” people vote. None of what happened in Alabama again!

When you put complete assholes in charge of every department (Devos, Sessions, Pruitt), you don’t need to orchestrate. You just stand back and let the shit roll downhill.

If that was published today, the left column could be titled “Without Government or With GOP Controlled Government”.

Jabba the Trump or is it Donald the Hut is really outdoing himself. I’m getting together with about 35 relatives, nearly all traveling from out of state at the end of this month in honor of my Dad’s 90th birthday. Several voted for the obese morbid creature, a few crossing party lines supposedly for the first time. Wondering what type of coping mechanism can be deployed.

I’m sure this is intended to hurt the blue states like CA and NY. But it seems to me, it would also hurt States like TX and FL because of their large numbers of noncitizen immigrants.

Miss trust in our government is supposed to be the basis of why Trump got elected you know drain the swamp and all that jazz. Or so we were told!

And so it goes, look what we ended up with.

These questions about citizenship, that door could swing either way it could even affect people that are already citizens why do I need to prove that I’m a citizen never happened before and going to happen now. If I were someone here on a visa I wouldn’t fill out your’s add up and move if I could the middle of the night have a plan forecast yourself in case this happens have a way out look forward escape do not fill out the census report don’t. As long as he’s in the White House forget it. As long as a Republican seldom majority Forget it. Take your census report and shove it where the sun don’t shine. And here’s my middle finger salute to Donald Trump!

This is actually a great opportunity for democrats. Just spread a rumor that in addition to the citizenship question the census is going to ask how many guns are in the household.
