    The evil that men do lives after them.

    Fortunately, thumb drives are not interred with their bones.

    Huzzah! Until Trump's slimy tax returns that he lied about sharing with the American public are exposed, this should make for some very lurid reading.

    Everyone already knew the slimy tactics used by the morally defunct GOP to rig elections....Gerrymandering, voter suppression and on and on. It’s great to see it in writing. Now maybe they will return to the days when they really stood for responsible fiscally sound government. Since the advent of Fox News and AM radio dominance they have turned into a bunch of sleazy whores who sell out their constituents to bank swindlers and war profiteers at every turn.

    Hopefully some documents regarding the weak sellouts that have oozed their way into leadership positions in the DemocRAT party and they can clean house there too. This next election will be a great opportunity for BOTH of these corrupt parties to remake their vision for America and get back on track. Trump is an illustration in vivid color of just how low we are sinking. I see a light at the end of the tunnel. There are several bright young idealistic members of both parties who could make a start in getting us on the right track. Rand Paul, Ben Sasse or Justin Amash on the GOP side or Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Buttigeig, Kamala Harris, Congressman Ryan from Ohio from the Democrat side. There is still time to turn this around.

    If gerrymandering worked then how did the democrats take the House?

    You can't have it both ways you know.

    And OP, you will never see Trumps tax returns so give it up.

    Why so lazy?

    Democrats won House popular vote by largest midterm margin since Watergate
    With votes continuing to be tallied more than two weeks after Election Day, Democrats hold a lead over Republicans in the House popular vote by more than 8.6 million votes.

    That's the largest total victory in a midterm House election since Democrats defeated Republicans by more than 8.7 million votes in 1974, just months after President Richard Nixon resigned from office in disgrace.

    Newly Discovered Files Suggest GOP Lawmakers Lied in Court About Racial Gerrymandering to Stop An Election.

    Republicans are openly subverting the will and votes of the people nationwide and silence from their base but two illegals voting in California is the end of the country as we know it.

    About internal policy deliberations, that is standard policy it's called separation of powers. Can Trump demand to get the internal deliberations of Pelosi and Schumer and their staffs?

    Gerrymandering is racist. Just like black holes and rocking chairs.

    Democrats see a black man and think... there's a black man, bet he is a Democrat who loves abortion and open borders...

    While I won’t go as far to say gerrymandering is racist — I think we can all agree that it subverts American democracy.

    How is that possible when the Dems took the House...the only chamber at all effected by the practice of Gerrymandering? Could it be because of the Dems behavior in MD: https://www.baltimoresun.com/politics/bs-md-redistricting-hogan-20190326-story.html

    No they say he wants short prison sentences and more aid to poor people. They think there's a Hispanic man. I can get his vote by advocating open borders and free trade.

    Ballot Harvesting.
    Bigger threat than Gerrymandering today.

    Send some "impartial" :roflol:
    volunteers to register new voters with inferior verification
    and help the newbie with their ballot too.

    That is how the O.C. was turned Blue.
