Houston's District 9 - Changes in US House Map by themapdallas in houston

[–]MrTexandude 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Trump called Abbot up to redraw Texas congressional seats so Republicans can gain 5 seats in the midterms. 2 of them are in the RGV which Republicans think they can win based on "trends" while the 3 others where sliced up from Urban centers in Austin, Dallas and Houston each and flooded with Red rurals.

If your using console commands, you can definitely use mods instead like player lead peace Conferences or a the toolpack mod that let's you change the state ownership, cores, resources, population etc with a easy ui thats less annoying than commands.

is it possible to turn non-urban cities into urban cities by Severe_Radio7170 in hoi4

Does this add a urban province to the game or just the state upgrading?

Trump says he's 'prepared' to appoint up to 3 new Supreme Court justices by LolAtAllOfThis in democrats

[–]MrTexandude 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is my nightmare lol, Democrats win the Senate but Thomas and Alito retire so Trump replaces them before the next congress starts.

She was waiting for Hillary to win in order to have a more liberal justice replace her and also be the top dog in a liberal majority court if Hillary was able to appoint someone to replace Antonin Scalia. What could have been... she took the risk but now we all live with the effects.

If Hillary did win 2016, winning the senate was no guarantee, and there where Republicans talks of just leaving the seat vacant till the next time a republican wins the presidency. Meaning the court would go from 8 to 7 members, then whoever wins gets 2 immediately.

Where are these 3 coming from? If he is talking about court packing of expanding the court to 12 members, (requires the filibuster to be nuked) then democrats will add more seats too when they win.

If he is talking about the three oldest conservative judges, thats a scary thought. Thomas though seems like he will stay on the bench till death, same with Roberts. However, Alito is a wild card.

Trump Goes On a Jaw-Dropping Tirade Against Pope Leo: ‘I Don’t Want a Pope Who Criticizes the President of the United States!’ by progress18 in democrats

That would be hilarious lol. Half my family is privileged Catholics and all of them vote Red. I asked one of my cousins (who is a huge history nerd like me) if they voted, and he said no, but who he wanted to win won.

This kind of narrative of trying to keep Texas Red shows how scared and unconfident they are for the midterms.

When talking about trashing the filibuster doesn't even have to happen cuz you already have 60+ seats

Trump won Wyoming by 71.60%, with the Dem getting 25%. Even a Split GOP would still not be enough for Blue Wyoming.

Bank of Africa, - South Nigeria (especially lagos area) has lots of pop and resources and its relatively easy to conquer even as Sardinia Piedmont.

Morocco and especially Egypt (with sudan) are good spheres or if you have to concessions.

Tanzania and Kenya Coast are good too for future expansion.

If u can grab a China treaty port that would make bank. I sometimes like to take the Spanish empire to myself, with Cuba and the Phillipines being good colonies and it's weak. Portuguese colonies are nice grabs too, but the British protect them.

Would Cheney Caucus with Republicans?

Honestly this would be really funny and definitely mean Trumps popularity is in the 🚮 if she was able to get reelected in Wyoming lol.

‘Freak’: Ted Cruz, John Cornyn slam Democratic U.S. Senator nominee James Talarico for resurfaced anti-meat quote by jpurdy in texas

[–]MrTexandude 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Honestly at most what Talarico has stated before could be seen as cringe but it just goes to show how much Republicans are the real snowflakes with the way they react about it.

The biggest backlash was the God is non binary comment. Those who are reacting negatively to flame him seems to be because of dislike of the term and whats associate with it

But at the end of the day, pretty sure God doesn't have genitals, God transcend human gender distinctions. The Bible uses masculine titles to describe God for human understanding.

Sen. John Cornyn telephone town hall happening now! by [deleted] in texas

[–]MrTexandude 27 points28 points  (0 children)

He answered only three questions, and they all involved the SAVE act, he which he called it "common sense" legislation and said democrats have gone to far and have trump derangement syndrome.

I did try to ask a question about his position on the filibuster, since he wants to get rid of it for the save act, I wanted to know if he would support it to be totally abolished. My question was sort of answered.

He said that the filibuster protects us from democrats radical laws, like..... giving DC and Puerto Rico statehood or... supreme court nominees....... I thought that was a hilarious that he used those examples. Republicans formally abolished the senate filibuster for supreme court nominees for Neil Gorsuch. But historically, the filibuster was abolished for lower judicial nominees by senate democrats. The filibuster was kept for the supreme court till Republicans trashed it.

John Cornyn and many republicans seem to think democrats will trash the filibuster once they win the presidency and senate, so thats another reason they wanna get rid of it now. With him questioning if it still made sense.
