That Hitler was given and did not seize power is not a new observation. I highly recommend The World at War series from the early 70s. It is still the best documentary series ever made on this conflict, in part because memories were still fresh and many those deeply involved in the conflict were still alive and were interview subjects.

“I got the highest vote in the history of Texas, as you probably know. And we are entitled to five more seats.”
What doesn’t DJT understand about the three branches of government? Here, just two, Congress and the executive branch? House members represent not whole states but Congressional districts within each state. The electoral college and the Senate already give each state’s overall population’s votes enormous power. In the electoral realm, the check on, and balance against, that power are the House districts in each state.
Or rather, DJt – I should say, his handlers – understand all this and seek to undo what power the House should hold. We are getting down to the nitty-gritty.

I guess Trump thinks they send out Tablets that you return with your votes when you do a mail in.
WHAT an ASSHOLE.

I don’t know, but if this turns into an all-out battle with every state that can legally add partisan seats, then Dems will lose. I applaud what CA is doing, but I hope it doesn’t go further. Here’s why (free gifted link):

The Texas GOP currently have more legislators than their share of the vote warrants. Their 5 seat gerrymander will enable them to steal more seats .

Trump translated: Quick! Have your paper ballots counted by people I can corrupt. I can’t corrupt the double count systems where the machines do the first count backed by a hand audit.
Don’t kid yourself. The Republicans are going to go for in every unfair advantage they can get whether the Democrats do anything at all…
