This can't be a valid change just because it's on some website. If I recall correctly from my HS civics course (they teach that anymore?) changes to the Constitution require a vote by all the states to validate such deletions or additions.
Gregory James (@cognocis.bsky.social) reply parent
Just because they felt like removing those sections doesn't mean it's the new "law of the land". Doesn't it require voting to validate any changes or additions to the Constitution? You can't just delete or add articles on a whim by some whack jobs in the WH or Congress. What am I missing?

The top politician in Texas always looks like FOTUS just stuck a hot poker up his ass. Nice work if you can get it.

Or the other way around...
Gregory James (@cognocis.bsky.social) reply parent
It's not about the money, it's about the power and influence it buys. And some wankers can never get enough, just ask FOTUS.
Gregory James (@cognocis.bsky.social) reply parent
Every state has its own election board with its own rules, checks and balances. With adequate oversight, voting should proceed as usual.

The faster he tries to run from his own past puts him and his lame administration on the fast track to incapacity and obscurity. The only thing hindering it from total collapse is his GOP enabling minions in Congress. Midterm elections can't come soon enough.

ICYMI — COLBERT CLOWNS BURCHETT: “You can’t folksy your way out of this one.” Colbert rips Rep. Burchett for hopping on TV to downplay Trump’s Epstein cover-up, and feigning ignorance about how bad it all looks.

Why not move her case up and have her testify in court? Who needs Congress? Many there likely on the list, explains why they passed on having her testify there.

The 35 richest Republican members of Congress have a net worth of $2.5 billion. They stand to gain from the GOP budget's tax cuts that disproportionately help the rich. Meanwhile, they're cutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of their constituents.

Thanks for the distinction, nice ref site. Think we over here tend to weigh democracy over socialism so may explain the confusion. Of course the GOP here brands anything left of center as socialism, leaving that distinction meaningless. Looks like your guy and ours could be siblings. :)
