it cant be repealed, it must be a new amendment to nullify the 17th. like the 18th, prohibition, was nullified by the 21st.

that will require:

  • 2/3 congress (both houses) must agree, (thats 288 representatives, and 67 senators)
  • then, 3/4 of the states need to agree (thats 38)

this is all political theater

    someone should ask our dear leader which of the two original colonies he demanded be left off his phones. because you know if it's pointed out to him publicly, he will never admit the mistake, he'll claim it was on purpose and berate the intelligence of whoever asks the question.

    my guess would be the missing stripes represent, New York for obvious reasons and Vermont because of Bernie.

    I get the ones asking if I'm willing to sell my house. I don't own a house. but I play along as if I do and when they confirm the number of bedrooms and condition of the home I tell them everything has been upgraded etc. keeping them string along for as long as possible. when they asked me a dollar amount, I tell them they have to come with an offer first before I tell them what my asking price is. again I don't have a house. usually that triggers it up to a higher manager. so they call back a day or so later, and I speak to a different person usually without the accent, and go through all the same information. I waste their time again making up whatever I can. when it finally gets to a dollar amount, whatever they say, I double it. you would think that would make them hang up but they don't. I've gotten into arguments with people where they ask me if I really think my house is worth that much money, it's a riot. have fun. fuck with them all you want. they are the lowest of low and deserve every minute of wasted time
