If you mean the equal number of representatives per state part, then no.
This was the main defense against the flaws of democracy in the Congress and you don't think it is a good idea? Interesting. How would you guard against the flaws of democracy?
Illegal things are what society uses to judge behavior. If it is illegal the morality of that behavior is suspect. If it is a behavior that everyone does, it isn't something that we should be used to criticize.
When it comes to the offshoring, everyone does it and something similar i.e. take advantage of the laws to their benefit like tax breaks. I don't see how that is a valid criticism when everyone does something to the same effect. It is a very small minority that willingly pay more than they have to and we shouldn't use that minority as the base to decide scorn because we should nearly all be scorned.
Really, aside from the Trump foundation thing, the things you listed weren't illegal things that everyone in that position does. At least he says he uses it (letting everyone know people like him get that advantage) and he wants to change that (which is a promise that evaporates faster than a fart in the wind butts aside). There are plenty of things to criticize things Trump for and using behaviors that everyone does (take advantage of the laws to their benefit) that is not illegal that the law was set up to be used is not a good basis to lay criticism.
The difference between the offshoring and the " a politician using their position to be good bed fellows to big business " should be apparent besides the legality. It is everyday that business use offshoring because of free trade and globalization. It should not be every day that politician use their position to be good bed fellows to big business.
I think you sounding a little upset little buddy. Did you miss your nap? I can tuck you in if you'd like. Remember, I can be whatever you want me to be.;)
for example, corruption is the stuff trump is doing RIGHT NOW to enrich himself and his businesses off his newfound position.
What is he doing RIGHT NOW that is corrupt?
Nobody can answer that. It's a rhetorical trick that insults the intelligence of the reader.
Did you just read my post without reading the parent post?
It means I think you are an utter wanker spreading partisan noise and cowardly about it.
lol, neat. Sure thing buddy. Any disagreement is just wankers spreading partisan noise because muh feels. Not sure how I am partisan when I criticize Trump and GOP for doing things I don't like. How do I disagree with you and others without being a wanker spreading partisan noise? Please enlighten me oh little buddy.
For calling me a wanker you sure are acting like a twat. Maybe I should grab you to get the juices flowing a bit better.;)
Is offshoring illegal? Is being a card carrying member of big business illegal? Is a politician using their position to be good bed fellows to big business illegal? Clinton said she wanted open boarders. No accusation those were her words.
Which Foundation issue are you talking about, the millions in foreign donations that evaporated after the election from countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia, or Clinton's Daughter using funds for a wedding, or using it as pay to play with Bill?
I know the Trump Foundation is still under investigation by the FBI which is why he can't dissolve it right now. I will form my opinion after the investigation.
Honestly, I am not a fan of Trump but I am not alone in thinking that he was better of the two choices. Some prefer a turd sand-which to a giant douche. At least you provided something more than mysterious 'what ifs'.
Yes, but the point is over the fact that Trump has never held political office. That was a strength for Trump in this last election as much as being a politician was a weakness for Clinton. If you want to argue the semantics of definitions I concede to your dictionary definitions but that doesn't undermine the point of my original post.
The fact is Trump was a not a politician until this election cycle. If I had added that one word 'cycle' it would have made the statement more accurate but does not undermine my original point. There was one politician running for POTUS and it wasn't Trump. To say otherwise is disingenuous.
You are right, an honest question would be what has Trump done before that is corrupt but the comment I was responding to didn't make that distinction. That also is irrelevant because it doesn't change the fact that Trump is President-Elect.
It is murkey now because the way conflict of interest laws are set up to exclude the president. Are you a legal scholar that is going to educate us all on how Trump is breaking laws? We do know what he is doing right now; transitioning into power.
"pathetic tricks with 'mass debating' shit".. wtf does that mean? If you have a point of contention I have no problem discussing it. But you already said "high school debating shit is getting old"... so either fuck off or say something substantive. I don't care which but don't act like I forced you to make a stupid argument.
Almost everything Hillary is accused of, Trump has done worse.
That's funny, I always thought it was the other way around simply because of the fact that Clinton has been in politics longer and had more opportunity to do all those things people are scared Trump might do. Silly me, here I thought actually doing something bad was worse than a 'what if' doing.
I think the people that came up with the college did a lot more research and put more thought into the system than the babies complaining about 'popular' vote.
If you know anything about Americas founding you know there was comprise and democracy was seen as a danger. If you think the Senate is a good idea, why would that not be the case for the Executive branch of government?
Are you denying what was in those emails? Do you think the collusion between the DNC, MSM, and Clinton campaign are just republican conspiracies? Do you think the pay to play policies of the Clinton Foundation were jokes?
What are you trying to say, that what was in the emails were lies? That the collusion between the DNC, MSM, and Clinton campaign were manufactured scandals that caused people to resign and lose their jobs?
I am confused. So far the DNC and Clinton has acted like that what was in the emails were true. Is there any reason to believe that what is in the emails are manufactured?

Do you think the Senate is a good idea to protect against the flaws of democracy?
If so, why would those some protections not be a good idea for a different branch of government?
POTUS leads a union of states, not a mob.
Where's the picture of you, bare chested on a horse?
On my main drive but my photo editing software free license just expired. I can assure you I look immaculate.
There's not much else less severe that could have been done.
A sternly written letter?
. On the Democrat side where the challenger lost,
I wish they didn't lose that particular fight. :(
if it wasn't buried beneath ice
We're working on that. And they said nothing good would come from Global warming.
"Infested by Trump supporters".
Nah, this is just a fancy way of saying they were swooned by Trumps pussy grabbing family fun antics.
So, what your saying is that it is Bush's fault and we need him back to focus the nerd rage? Well, I guess someone has to do it.
Bush is the reason why /. has Russian trolls and Trump supporters.
I feel cold inside.
*unzips*
I'm ready.
Neet.

It's okay, when I was your age I pretended to be older too. Good luck little buddy!
I guess, when I apply for a job I am an employee. Not a prospective employee.
I thought you had to hold a political office to be a politician like being employed to be an employee.
Words have meaning.

What is he doing RIGHT NOW that is corrupt? You do realize that conflict of interest laws apply different to POTUS, right? I would love to hear what you and your mods think he has done RIGHT NOW that is corrupt.

This made me giggle. Thank you.
