I admit it's very trump like.

[QUOTE=mooby;1282351]25 years ago it was consistently cold in northern VA from November-April and we got snow every winter.



Now? It's setting records for 90 degrees in May and 70 degree off-and-on days in January. And we're lucky if we see one good snowfall a year.

Cheers - it's all love in here. We can fight all day about politics but come football Sunday we're all in the same boat.

Gerrymandering has gotta be one of the most underreported evils of our time. When one party can redraw districts to ensure they remain in power the citizens have already lost.

I find it ironic the majority of states that have embraced the independent redistricting commissions that ensure gerrymandering is free from bias also happen to be Democratic controlled states.

I support non-partisan or if need be bi-partisan commissions to remove all gerrymandered districts. It is antithetical to our republic's health.

Agreed.

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
 

Definitely would grab some crabs too G-1!

CRed-It has always bothered me how bad the district lines look in Maryland. Why does a large county like PG have only two reps but Baltimore City with 300,000 less people have three? Carroll county has two but comparable in size Harford county only has one. Of course the county that holds the state capital has four congressional reps have to make sure they are overrepresented in congress. It is pretty frusterating.

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
 

Balt City may have lost a rep and one of their reps is a hybrid city/balt county area .... i think this is right, didnt look it up

35 States have gerrymandering .. 2 are democrat.

Just a matter of time .. democrat numbers just increase, republicans flat line and are older and becoming more and more localized.
