    That’s possibly reframing “no taxation without representation” a bit but I don’t entirely disagree with the sentiment.

      They thought funding Trump would get them representation. They were wrong. Trump cares about no one but himself.

      In the most literal sense we have representation, but it sure as hell doesn’t seem like it in practice… :(

      When elections are fraudulent, its the same as no representation. Besides, pretty soon they’ll be suspending elections altogether. It doesn’t get more “no representation” than that.

            I really don’t understand the aggression, I was talking about the old rich dead people propaganda concerning no taxation without representation 200 years ago, I never said anything about the fuckwads we have today.

            If you think I’m saying something different, explain what you read and allow me the opportunity to clarify my intent.

            Saying I’m full of shit at this point is just asinine.
