More from the article...

... "We have an opportunity in Texas to pick up five seats. We have a really good governor, and we have good people in Texas. And I won Texas," Trump told CNBC's Squawk Box.

"I got the highest vote in the history of Texas, as you probably know, and we are entitled to five more seats." ...

Trump to Abbott: "Help me cheat, *itch."

Abbott to Trump: "Yes master."

Who knew a New York democrat turned republican could so easily turn the GOP into a bunch of sacred *itches.

Texas 2-year term. Election Cycle 2026, 2028. No Term Limit.
Partisan Composition: 25 Republican, 12 Democratic, 1 Vacancy

Ted Cruz
Incumbent
R
5,990,741
53.1%

Colin Allred
D
5,031,249
44.6%

Ted Brown
I
267,039
2.4%

Texas already has disproportionally given R's house seats. They should have 55%. Based on Trump V Harris it would be 56%.
Trump and his magic calculator.

They should check their census numbers. A quarter of deportations is from Texas.

My concern is Pres Trump's use of the word "entitled."

No politician is entitled to anything.

They have to earn the support.

Describes his entire life perfectly.

Texas has about 10% more republican voters than democrat voters. And the state legislature already has gerrymandered a supermajority wildly disproportionate to the electorate. But that's not ewough now?

Fuhkh those guys. I want CA and NY and IL to super-gerrymander their states, NOW.

The only thing PEDO DONNIE is "entitled" to is someone taking another shot at his ear.

#10 | Posted by LegallyYourDead at 2025-08-06 02:05 PM

Only five?

#11 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-08-06 02:07 PM

Only five?

For now.

Once Newsom flips five republican seats in California to democratic, Trump will need 5 more.

Only a punk who grew up as an entitled brat would think in those terms of entitlement

Jethro Dull was in Indiana to push them to gerrymander their districts too.

Sh*tler is panicking that he will lose the house which will expose him to a gaggle of investigations and hearings.

Their internal polling must be horrendous.

His latest approval rating of 38% is record low territory.

WOWSERS QCP. You make a solid point. That's some scary stuff right there. Damn.

President pedophile has delusions of grandeur.

He sees himself as the first king of America and republicans are eager to make it happen.

#18 | Posted by ClownShack at 2025-08-06 03:18 PM

Trump's been an entitled f^%! his entire life.

Republicans know they don't have the demographics on their side, so they have to lie and cheat.

#20 | Posted by cbob at 2025-08-07 06:26 AM

Democrats have made gerrymandering into an art form. What Texas is doing is brute strength politics which mirrors what Democrats have done since forever.

#21 | Posted by BellRinger at 2025-08-07 12:38 PM

it's an attempt to steal the midterm elections.
Because people hate trump and Epstein is an albatross around his neck he can't seem to shake.

Sad that the 19% polling democrats are such a threat to the GOP. Maybe your ideas suck ass.

#22 | Posted by Alexandrite at 2025-08-07 12:41 PM

Newsome is entitled to add 20 Democratic seats in California.

#23 | Posted by reinheitsgebot at 2025-08-07 12:42 PM

In The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, the Albatross was actually lucky until someone killed it. Apropos, since I don't believe Epstein killed himself. Too convenient for a lot of rich powerful predators.

I do not, however, credit trump with the intelligence or initiative to have Epstein murdered. Fundamentally, trump is a lazy sob.

#24 | Posted by Alexandrite at 2025-08-07 12:47 PM

Newsom's redistricting leaves 9 seats to Republicans in California.

But he could easily turn to number into zero.

This is the same mentality as, "Democrats were the original KKK."

It doesn't mean anything, but it helps you feel better about Trump and MAGA turning the GOP into America's Fascist Party.

Your hate for brown people is disgusting. You handed over the nation to a spoil brat because he told you Mexicans are rapists and criminals.

You think Trump is too lazy to have Epstein murdered?

I think you're giving him too little credit.

He's always wanted to be a mob boss.

His mentors are Hitler and Putin.

There's zero chance Trump didn't have Epstein killed.

Of course Trumpy did not personally kill Epstein.

Like any good mob boss or cult leader all he has to do is say, "Won't anyone rid me of this troublesome pimp?"

There are legions of minions ready to do his bidding.

#28 | Posted by donnerboy at 2025-08-07 01:16 PM

If Trump had ordered Epstein killed he'd still be alive. Trump hires incompetent people.

#29 | Posted by Alexandrite at 2025-08-07 01:26 PM

#11 | Posted by snoofy

yes should be more. He's making a case for not counting ILLEGALS in the census you idiotic toad faced dweebs and dumb truck lemmings.

--and besides thanks to rep Evette Clark D NY we know now that
what we were saying IS THE TRUTH when she spilled the truth
that she needed the illegals for redistricting....something else
you pig nosed LIZZO BUTTS said wasn't true

IN ADDITION....the chicken manure despicable worthless cowards from texas went to ILLINOIS....a state that is the babe ruth
of gerrymandering AND SUPPORTED by MASS governor Maura Healey supportsnin their dereliction of duty / refusal to serve an elected post and just trash in general these pathetic cowards.
the governor of a state that has made sure there hasn't been a
GOP in congress since 1991.

--so take your mindless BS / projection demonstration and
sit on it / suck it / stuff it / eat it / and chant it
in your next circle.

If he doesn't count the "illegals" would not that mean fewer seats?

Magat scum are dumb

#26 | Posted by ClownShack

filled with lies / lies proven by leftist sources to be lies.

he never said "Mexicans are rapists and criminals."

which doesn't just make you a liar. It makes you an illiterate toad liar because you know it's a lie and you still use it here
because you know the lizzo butt lovers here let you get away with it.

brown people voted for him in record numbers and mexicans who came here illegally are overwhelmingly in favor of what he's doing.
-for sure the ones I"ve surveyed and that's quite a few.

but you keep it up BUT don't try it anywhere else but here
where leftist dishonesty is a virture.

learn or ask someone about steps 1-3 about redistricting and how it works....learn something other than learning how to put shapes
together in one of your afternoon group mental sessions.

If he doesn't count them he is directly violating the Constitution.

The GOP is entitled to as many .308 156grn to the head as we the people can manage.
