      Obviously a battle that needs to be undertaken in this country is a whole new voting rights act. We need to revisit and revamp completely what was once landmark legislation but is now proving to be woefully outdated. It reminds me of how outdated the telecommunications act was when it received its first significant changes in over 50 years in 1996 (something else that could use a re-vamp decades into a new century).

      Laws and enforcement mechanism are inadequate in the face of renewed and extremely forceful efforts by republicans to disenfranchise POC, the poor and working class, and even better off people in urban centers. The rise of sophisticated and technologically advanced gerrymandering must be checked. It should be done with sweeping federal legislation. If it was a total WeAreNDHockey wet dream it would be in tandem with the abolition of the electoral college.

      Something like this would serve two purposes. One would obviously make sure people who wanted to vote would get to vote, and have their votes counted accurately. But two, it would put the notion of voting front and center and maybe we'd excite more people about what it means to be a voter. I am much less enthusiastic about voting today than I was even as recently as 2008 when I actually broke down in tears after voting for Obama because I never thought I'd live to see the day when this country would elect someone who looked less like me than like me. We need to excite people about voting again, and we need to make sure their votes count.

      A renewed voting rights act is part of the notion that getting rid of trump is essential, but is not sufficient.

        We need a permanent majority at the federal level (White House, Chamber majorities, Courts) of the adults. The feds brought the hammer down against this kind of thing in the 50s and 60s and we probably would have continued on had not the country made its incredible inflection point error in 1980.

        We can do it again. The federal government has the supremacy clause so all the local hayseed racists can be brought to heal quickly and legally. The existence of the Senate is a long term problem but in the meantime we can bring democracy back. We just have to kneecap the Nazis statewide.

            Heck, even with that, though, I can't bring myself to care about that anymore. Maybe in the bygone era where President's wives and daughters were expected to do nothing but host tea parties and smile that would all be a big deal, but nowadays if they're just being young people in a way that doesn't actually hurt anyone (i.e. DUI) I don't care. If I don't care about Malia holding a joint, then I don't care about the Bush girls using fake IDs when they were 19. None of those are at the level of, say, using your dad's influence to get patents in China and Qatari banks to pay off your husband's real estate debt.

                    Later tweet showed where he got the number. 38M is the elevation of Seoul according to Wikipedia...that is right he cribbed the number trying to look smart and used the wrong number. The guy is the Don King of Presidents. Well wait...Don King was actually smarter.

                              So make them more expensive to make but cheaper costing. Sounds like a Trump plan! His "Bankruptcy or Bust" business strategies are truly astounding!!

                              Are they politically correct cause they arent letting people die? That is what confuses me.

                                Like the automakers are going to reduce the price of their product if(and that's a big if) they become cheaper to build.

                                And the 1% are going to trickle their tax cuts down to me.
                                What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?
