    The stupidity is not that Trump wants to do this

    The stupidity is that behaviour like this has been normalized by the American public and American leadership

    They’re all taking steps to degrading and destroying themselves and no one ever wants to do much to stop it.

        30 some states have voter sponsored ballot initiatives, most are constitutional amendments, a few are just statutory, I’ve never heard of recalling a legislature with that process, which takes over a year to make happen, from getting signatures from voters, getting those validated, having electoral commissions ok the vote, then waiting for the actual vote.

        The Mississippi one is crazy. I voted in that ballot initiative when I lived there. It was for medical marijuana with very lax laws. But then the mayor of the richest county in the state took it to court. The ballot initiative even got the required votes in all the old districts too, planning for this, but the Supreme Court of MS is as dumb as a bag of rocks. Did the state repeal the voter ID law or the new flag that were both passed the same way? Hell no!

        So glad I left that ass-backwards state.
