That’s a great point. That’s kind of where I was going with prisoners needing to be counted in their home area for census/redistricting purposes, although that doesn’t really help with statewide elections.

But then even in their home area white people are going to be a larger proportion of the eligible electorate than the population generally.

I guess he could just be several weeks behind, because he has already been impeached, we're just waiting to see if they punish him for it.

Just wait until he catches up to what he did in Iraq.

Remember, he's been claiming that he's not really impeached until the Senate takes over.

They vote explicitly for more murder and other stuff that makes society bad. This is because they're criminals, they love doing crime and being around crime, duh.

Many citizens may be willing to sacrifice their freedom for personal gain or passion, but the sanctity of participating in this democracy is what keeps so many would be ne'er-do-wells and cutpurses from turning on society.

Alternatively, lawmakers might not agree on much, but there could be bipartisan support for not having to campaign in prisons--that might result in them having to actually go see what's going on in there.

The Article Above posted:

Many U.S. troops, however, manned exposed positions, including at least one group of drone operators who stayed in an above-ground building to get their drones aloft and avoid ground damage.

I kind of thought the entire point of drones was that it was way more okay to have a robot plane get blown up compared to a real live person so seeing these noble sky aces trying to keep their plane insurance from spiking is pretty wild, but I guess this is the same Army that catastrophically combined two helicopters in flight attempting to find a single handgun.

It's because a drone costs several million and a couple of drone operators is only at most $800k in life insurance payouts plus their training costs.

Thanks for letting me pop in here real quick. I have a dumb question that doesn't merit a thread and you seem like a decent lot.

You know how a high-ranking officer might employ an enlisted soldier as a personal aide-de-camp or whatever you call it -- and that enlisted soldier enjoys a certain....uh.... "freedom of action"...far beyond his rank because of who he works for?

Is there a term used to describe this type of coat-tail riding in the military? I'm going to beat you to the punch with "Another day that ends in -y", but seriously...what do you call that sort of power that a low-ranking dude inherits that way?

Positional authority is the term for the person who is acting on behalf of the commander, sometimes it's coat tail riding sometimes it's legitimate. Depends on the situation really.
