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.

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.

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

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.

President pedophile has delusions of grandeur.
He sees himself as the first king of America and republicans are eager to make it happen.

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

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

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.

Newsome is entitled to add 20 Democratic seats in California.

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.

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.
#27 | Posted by ClownShack at 2025-08-07 01:06 PM | Reply
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.

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

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?

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.
