Upvote for harassing the faggot Bill Mitchell.
I still feel guilty that I followed Mitchell for several years.
I also once gave to the Completionist's Patreon.
I'm apparently a rotten judge of character.
Even the Rageaholic was shocked at how scummy the completionist turned out to be. Even when they were on opposite ends of optics and the C had blocked Rage there was still a decorum of friendship from Rageaholic. So it's not a shock that we were all duped
I haven't even heard of this Completionist character. Mind spooning me a brief overview?
He accepted money for a charity in his mother's name, to research the disease that killed her. Then he sat on that money for ten years, instead of passing it on to the organisations he said his charity was supporting.
It's unconstitutional for electors to cast a vote for both a President and Vice President from the same state as themselves. Trump and DeSantis are both from Florida (Trump hasn't been a resident of NY for years and he certainly isn't going back now that they are trying to take his business from him through the courts), so the only way DeSantis gets VP is if Trump's margin of victory is high enough to ignore Florida, or congress picks DeSantis in an election where no-one gets the necessary electoral votes. Relying on either of those is dumb when you can just pick someone else as VP and give DeSantis some other slot in the cabinet.
More or less. Back when we only had 13 states and three of them had over half the population (now we have 50 and four have over a third.)
Under the original Constitution electors didn't cast votes for president and vice president, they each cast 2 votes for president. Whoever got a majority won, and the runner up became vice president. The original rule was each elector could only cast one vote for someone from his state. The other vote had to go to someone from another state. The idea was to prevent a situation where the electors all choose candidates from their own states and no one gets a majority or reasonable plurality, throwing the system into chaos. Our national political identity was very underdeveloped in the 1780s, so that scenario wasn't as crazy as it might sound today. They hoped that by imposing this rule it would free up one set of votes to go to a candidate with national appeal, even if a favorite son got everyone's first vote. After Aaron Burr tried to steal the presidency from Thomas Jefferson the 12th amendment changed it to the current system where each elector casts a vote for president and a vote for vice president, but they kept the rule that required that at least one of the votes go to someone from outside the elector's state.
No it's not.
Go read the 12th amendment.
Bush & Cheney were both from Texas.
