Then they could just stay on their side of the border?

As shit as Roberts' SCOTUS is, I don't think even they'd go that far. Their entire argument hinges on one phrase from Article Two:

he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper;

Supposedly as long as neither the House nor the Senate alter their scheduled appointment dates this clause can't be invoked.

You've got a problem with Canada gooses, you got a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate!

It's pretty stupid to base your support of a party on what it used to be, not what it is now.

Using your logic, you support the GOP because they elected Lincoln and ended slavery, right? It's not like there's been 160 years of history that might have changed it since, including things like the Southern Strategy and the "Moral Majority", right?

Honestly, I'm not seeing a downside here.

Look, I'm not going to defend capitalism, but

As we’ve all seen, those with wealth use it to hide it away from taxes and to bribe for relaxed regulations or regulations to stop competitors appearing.

Is not a problem inherent to capitalism. All of that stems from human greed, which you're going to have no matter what economic system you try to implement. The solution is to have actual enforcement of your regulatory guardrails.

Depending on who he means when he says "electoral majority" I don't see a problem with what he said. It sounds to me like he's agreeing with Hasan.

No, that's Mike "My son and I know each other's porn habits" Johnson.

Trump won't ignore him, but he will fire him.

Trump has a pathological need to tell everyone what a big boy he is and he makes his own decisions, because he needs external affirmation. Firing Huitema will get him applause from the shit-flingers so of course he'll do it.

"How much money can I steal from taxpayers before I get knifed in the back?"

My dude, nobody said there was a good option. The choice was a bad option, and a much worse option. Bill Clinton doesn't matter since he has nothing to do with the government. Harris at least paid lip-service to stopping Israel; Trump said he wants Bibi to "finish the job."

And the kicker is, one of those two choices was going to win and if you don't vote for the bad option, the much worse option wins by default.

Unfortunately, this whole election can be summed up as: everyone not named Trump voted against their best interests.
