ROFLMAO: The time-challenged imbeciles at The Washington Times forget to mention it was Trump's incompetent, biased, rigged 2020 census

Botched Census 'Accidentally' Handed Dems 6 House Votes

Washington Times

... The 2020 population count was rigged ... We’re just supposed to believe it was a coincidence that Mr. Biden’s allies were the beneficiaries in almost every instance ... The Constitution requires an “actual enumeration” ... not a guestimate maximizing the inclusion of illegal aliens that the prior administration let into the country by the millions. ...

Ah, hello, whose prior administration? Trump's? Which did nothing about illegal immigration for four years? That prior administration?

About 1 million foreign born actually left the country during 2019 and 2020 because the country shut down for the pandemic, after Trump I let in about 1.75 million from 2016.

The flood of millions into the country started in late 2021, a year after the census had already been completed.

This has to be one of the top 10 stupidest editorials I have ever read.

And we're supposed to believe that Trump will get it right if he does another census, which will be outside the constitution?

Democrat Rosa DeLauro (CT-3) is correct: Elon Musk is an unelected interloper, with no authority and no legitimacy who makes a mockery of the appropriations process

Musk exercises nonexistent dictatorial line-item-veto powers over spending and personnel as a "super cabinet" official who was never confirmed by the US Senate like the other cabinet members he now tells what's what.

The whole scheme is illegal and unconstitutional, which is why Trump is now all of a sudden denying that Musk is head of the so-called DOGE, just like Trump hastily made Musk a special government employee after lawsuits were filed on February 3 questioning Musk's authority.

It's an end run around the constitution no less serious than the National Popular Vote Compact, which seeks to neuter the Electoral College.

Trump has been making this bullshit up as he goes and has been since Musk endorsed Trump after the July assassination attempt and then became part of Trump's circle of intimates in August.

The tech oligarchy got front row seats at the inauguration for a reason.

Congress closing in on shutdown deadline with no clear plan

“We cannot come to a deal where you hammer out gains, losses, but you come to a conclusion and you come to a meeting of the minds,” Rep. Rosa DeLauro (Conn.), the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, told reporters. “That should not be subject to some third party deciding that that’s not what they want.”

“We had a deal last year, all of us and so forth, and then there was an interloper with no authority, no legitimacy, nonelected, who said, ‘Don’t vote for it,’” DeLauro said, as Democrats have continued to zero in on tech billionaire Elon Musk, the head of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Trump is down to 50.1% in the popular vote

People say it doesn't matter.

It doesn't, except psychologically, especially to Democrats who want to eliminate the Electoral College.

Having an Electoral College landslide without winning a clear majority in the popular vote would only fuel their long-standing rhetoric that it is unfair.

Election results for the popular vote almost always trend narrower as now, and they indicate in this election the same thing the very narrow GOP House win indicates:

This was not a red wave.

The country remains very much divided. And Democrats are wrong to be so dispirited and divided.

Harris/Walz 48.1% (226) Trump/Vance 50.1% (312)

There were some pretty sharp cookies out there who actually nailed the Electoral College outcome

Here are just two I found:

I predicted Trump 316-222, it turned out Trump 312-226

My gut told me Minnesota for Trump was wrong, but I went with it based on what turned out to be a poll reporting error. And I couldn't believe the polling in Nevada which favored Trump, but that turned out to be right.

In the end I missed it by that much.
