The Constitution allows one representative for at least 30,000 constituents, so we could have about 11,000. So why not expand from 438 to 1,000 or so (not married to any particular number)? For those who think the Senate has to many votes in the Electoral College, this would dilute that. All 1,000 districts would be newly drawn, & there would be no true incumbents & at least 562 new faces. What are the pros & cons?
It’s a great idea but I don’t know how it would be implemented. Congress won’t dilute their own power and I’m doubtful that we’ll ever see another amendment survive the proscribed constitutional ratification.

Lucien, I suggested a similar Big House proposal here a few months ago.
Beasts: the existing Congresscritters would resent being diluted, but the parties as a whole might rejoice at the chance to have even more seats, with the accompanying budgets, etc.
It would make lobbying more difficult, but that could backfire and just give more advantage to huge interest groups that can afford even more man-hours, dinners, etc.
On the other hand, with a better rep-to-repped ratio, ordinary people will have a better chance to get their Congresscritter's ear. Could be more like British MPs' 'surgery,' where they sit and take complaints from all comers.
Jaq, yes, I understand why the left try to avoid mentioning the majority-minority workforce of ICE and CBP. I fail to understand why the right doesn't mention it every chance they get.

Speaking of winds. This morning I saw an electronic speed detector in a community apparently attempting to slow drivers down, the detector, however, was picking up wind speed, there were no cars moving. It was hilarious when it suddenly started flashing "TOO FAST".
"how does more people with the power to throw more devalued money at problems going to solve anything?"
It's not the number of people, it's the ability to throw money at problems that's the problem. If you scale back the size/scope of government to... I don't know- what's authorized by the Constitution, maybe?... things would sort themselves out as the grifters and Democrats (BIRM) realized there was nothing to be had there and they persued more promising opportunities as crash test dummies and volunteers for experimental STD treatments.
Lucien, Well, it almost certainly destroys the Connecticut compromise. The big cities on the east and west coasts will elect every president from then on and control the house. Small states will have no say in national policy.
Also, how do you manage five or six hundred AOC's?

@ Jaq: A bad effort to avoid dealing with the cancellations. You don’t need to be Freud to understand that this is the behavior of a small man. One compensatory move after another.
I estimate there are at least two dozen men named ‘Jesus Ochoa’ in the U.S. and at least three dozen named ‘Raymundo Gutierrez’. All four names are quite common among Hispanics. Every single one of them who is not visibly under 18 or over 70 is now in serious danger of bodily harm or death. Ironically, a fair percentage of them (20%? 25%? 30%?) are illegals, but that won’t save them: “Liar! You’re an undercover ICE man! Die!”

Democrats have become the party that despises the working class, because their policies are self serving, and nothing serves Democrats better than screwing over the working class, by driving down wages, and driving up rents by flooding the country with illegals. As for long waits for medical services, because remakably few of these millions of illegals are, you know, doctors? Well "our sort" just pays for concierge care, so no worries.
The problem would be that we would have to spend another billion making another 562 people incredibly rich, like we do for all Congress people. And the 562 would come with pet trillions in demanded spending.
Not just Mossad, KGB too. Epstein had lots of dirt on lots of rich powerful men, including Trump.

Other messages revealed Epstein claimed he could give the Kremlin valuable insight into Mr Trump ahead of a summit with Putin in Helsinki.
The financier messaged Thorbjorn Jagland, then secretary general of the Council of Europe, suggesting he could pass on a message to Putin about how to handle the US President.
In a June 2018 exchange, Epstein indicated that Vitaly Churkin, Russia's ambassador to the UN, 'understood Trump after our conversations'.
The extraordinary exchanges took place before the totemic Helsinki summit between Mr Trump and Putin in July 2018.”

We don't know if Ochoa and Gutierrez are real agents, let alone brown-skinned agents, since all of these CBP nazis wear masks. There are Mexicanos blancos, that date back to the Spanish Conquest, donchaknow?
Georgie Soros strikes again. The man should be hung.
ProPublica, a liberal nonprofit funded by George Soros, has doxxed the Border Patrol agents involved in the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti as part of an ideological crusade.
“ProPublica is publishing the names of the two federal immigration agents involved in the fatal shooting of Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti,” the organization posted in a statement on social media. “We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed.”
I take it The Epstein Files are missing the peep hole videos from the island? Does that mean the files are incomplete and… the fat lady has not sung. Or, the fat lady did sing and nobody heard her because she is now on Ozempic. Couple with her Ozempic face she’s completely unrecognisable. And now you know why nothing seems to ever get put to bed these days. Everything just keeps going on and on. I’m on the second episode of the 50 cent Doc on Puff. Finding out how Tupac and Biggie Smalls may have been rubbed off.
Spanberger and her cohorts will be actively fighting for this "Virginia Man" to stay and be free to murder Americans now... She'll claim it isn't fair, that he is a family man trying to make it in America....

Noem says ICE alone has received 220,000 applications for 10,000 openings. My comment - given the scale of the job 10,000 seems far too little. But if they want to fund more positions these people are available. I expect a great many are local/state police.
As of the start of the evening there were still almost 30,000homes and businesses without power in Nashville. This is on full week after Fern hit the region. Admit it, Althouse, DEI hires have no place in positions of responsibility, where people’s lives might’ve at stake. Women need to stop hiding behind capable tech CEOs like Kathy Warddn and capable political leaders like Noem and just let people who grasp that a job is there to be done, and not just to collect a salary while la-de-da-ing around the office, take the jobs.
Clueless Readering said: “I guess NFL knew what it was doing: Bad Bunny wins Grammy for album of the year.“
Yesiree, the Grammy voters/ Hollywood are surely representative of the NFL fan base. NFL commissioner and fellow wokester Roger Goodell is a clueless as you are Readering.
Starting to see why the left is so obsessed with Epstein. They are convinced that they are just one revelation away from destroying Trump (or apparently Musk). They aren’t. And the more that is exposed, the more the left is hurt. The left is hurt, because that is the crowd that Epstein ran in - super elite NYC Dems. Very often, Jewish, at least ethnically, like Epstein.
Epstein had almost nothing that Trump was interested in, except a private jet. And sometimes it was just easier for Trump to catch a ride between NYC and Miami, with Epstein, where both had houses, than use his own jet. Trump had no interest in Epstein’s women. Not having had the pick of NYC’s supermodels for decades. And marrying three of them. Not having owned the Miss USA pageant. Etc.
Trump was, and still is, a builder. A doer. Epstein was a talker and a hanger on. No one, even to this day, really knows where his money came from. Best guess, so far, seems to be a bit of blackmail, a bit of information selling, and maybe a bit of Israeli Intelligence money.
What I think happened is that the two would somewhat frequently meet and rub elbows at parties in NYC and Miami. Then Epstein crossed the line with a woman or two, at MAL. Trump banned him there, and never trusted him after that. Sure, superficially, they appeared to still be buddies. But that is just how Trump is - he can be best friends with Putin and Xi, and the next one appear to be their mortal enemy. And Epstein continued to try to take advantage of that, trying to sell some insights into Trump, from their time in proximity to each other. But he never really had any dirt on Trump. Just the potential that he might, kept the money flowing in. Esp with the fervid TDS in the crowds that Epstein ran in.
“ Clueless Readering said: “I guess NFL knew what it was doing: Bad Bunny wins Grammy for album of the year.“”
Halftime at the Super Bowl used to be a big thing. You might not be interested in the game itself, but you, and millions of others, would tune in for the halftime show. Now, many of those watching it, just mute their TVs through the halftime show, and do something else. And those of us who didn’t watch it, don't bother at all. Used to be a great day to go skiing (like New Year’s Day). Not so much any more.
Long run, it was idiotic, on the part of the NFL. IN recent years, the audiences that are attracted to NFL football, are repelled by the halftime shows, and visa versa. The demographic enjoying those shows were, for the most part, not the demographic that cheered on their HS football team, or even played a bit. Football fandom comes with a lot of what they call Toxic Masculinity.
“ Messages were sent Sunday to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, seeking to confirm details of the incident, including that federal agents deployed tear gas against demonstrators.
Portland Mayor Keith Wilson said the daytime demonstration was peaceful, “where the vast majority of those present violated no laws, made no threat and posed no danger” to federal agents.
“To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave,” Wilson wrote in a statement Saturday night. “Through your use of violence and the trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame.”
The Portland Fire Bureau sent paramedics to treat people at the scene, police said. Police officers monitored the crowd but made no arrests Saturday.”
They are just now conducting hearings into election fraud in MI, and it is pretty ugly. A lot of physical intimidation happened, to keep Republicans from preventing a Dem victory.
Who else is left, of the swing states the Dems stole in 2020? PA? Massive Dem election fraud in AZ and GA have already been exposed. Last week, the FBI raided the election facilities for Fulton County, GA, scooping up the ballots, their provenance, tally tapes, etc. so far, we know that over a third of a million ballots there were illegally included in the state counts, which is 30x Biden’s winning margin in that state. And the tally tapes weren’t signed, as they legally should have been, because the Fulton County election officials are the ones who locked Republicans election judges out of the room where the counting was going on, after it was discovered that the Biden count was too “light”.
We talked recently, in a recent thread, about the Trump Administration having too much muzzle velocity. Several of us pointed out that what they were really talking about is rate of fire. In modern infantry tactics, you use machine guns, with high rates of fire, to keep your enemy’s heads down, while the rest of your unit maneuvers around them, to take them from the side. And, I think that these attacks on Dem election fraud are a result of this. The Dems are all so focused on their attacks on ICE, whether we are going to bomb Iran, whether the Worker’s Paradise of Cuba is finally going to implode, etc, that they have missed the center thrust at one of their key weapons - election fraud. And maybe too, thrusts against their money supply, in the form of graft and fraud on government programs - such as the Somalis in MN.
“Portland Mayor Keith Wilson said the daytime demonstration was peaceful, “where the vast majority of those present violated no laws, made no threat and posed no danger” to federal agents.”
Of course, it was planned that way. The arsonists and those wrecking violence, hide in the crowds of nonviolent protesters. And the nonviolent protesters are there for just that reason - to hide those committing the violence. That’s how they operated in the summer of 2020 in Portland, and it’s silly to think that they wouldn’t be doing the same today. And the mayor’s response is exactly why the continue rioting this way.

Long run, it was idiotic, on the part of the NFL. IN recent years, the audiences that are attracted to NFL football, are repelled by the halftime shows, and visa versa. The demographic enjoying those shows were, for the most part, not the demographic that cheered on their HS football team, or even played a bit. Football fandom comes with a lot of what they call Toxic Masculinity.
“ Messages were sent Sunday to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, seeking to confirm details of the incident, including that federal agents deployed tear gas against demonstrators.
Portland Mayor Keith Wilson said the daytime demonstration was peaceful, “where the vast majority of those present violated no laws, made no threat and posed no danger” to federal agents.
“To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave,” Wilson wrote in a statement Saturday night. “Through your use of violence and the trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame.”
The Portland Fire Bureau sent paramedics to treat people at the scene, police said. Police officers monitored the crowd but made no arrests Saturday.”
”where the vast majority of those present violated no laws, made no threat and posed no danger” to federal agents.
That’s true of every crime in every town on every day.
Are we not supposed to arrest murderers because most people didn’t kill anyone today?
They are just now conducting hearings into election fraud in MI, and it is pretty ugly. A lot of physical intimidation happened, to keep Republicans from preventing a Dem victory.
Who else is left, of the swing states the Dems stole in 2020? PA? Massive Dem election fraud in AZ and GA have already been exposed. Last week, the FBI raided the election facilities for Fulton County, GA, scooping up the ballots, their provenance, tally tapes, etc. so far, we know that over a third of a million ballots there were illegally included in the state counts, which is 30x Biden’s winning margin in that state. And the tally tapes weren’t signed, as they legally should have been, because the Fulton County election officials are the ones who locked Republicans election judges out of the room where the counting was going on, after it was discovered that the Biden count was too “light”.
We talked recently, in a recent thread, about the Trump Administration having too much muzzle velocity. Several of us pointed out that what they were really talking about is rate of fire. In modern infantry tactics, you use machine guns, with high rates of fire, to keep your enemy’s heads down, while the rest of your unit maneuvers around them, to take them from the side. And, I think that these attacks on Dem election fraud are a result of this. The Dems are all so focused on their attacks on ICE, whether we are going to bomb Iran, whether the Worker’s Paradise of Cuba is finally going to implode, etc, that they have missed the center thrust at one of their key weapons - election fraud. And maybe too, thrusts against their money supply, in the form of graft and fraud on government programs - such as the Somalis in MN.
’where the vast majority of those present violated no laws, made no threat and posed no danger’
Sounds like it was mostly peaceful. lol
“Portland Mayor Keith Wilson said the daytime demonstration was peaceful, “where the vast majority of those present violated no laws, made no threat and posed no danger” to federal agents.”
Of course, it was planned that way. The arsonists and those wrecking violence, hide in the crowds of nonviolent protesters. And the nonviolent protesters are there for just that reason - to hide those committing the violence. That’s how they operated in the summer of 2020 in Portland, and it’s silly to think that they wouldn’t be doing the same today. And the mayor’s response is exactly why the continue rioting this way.
Keeping portland weird
