You think I wrote that? I'm flattered. 

Is it wrong?

Then shut the fuck up lakehouse rich feminist.

And that does NOT mean they're the only ones who can "change" it.

So, if that part is correct, PROVE the others wrong, instead of whining about there not being a cite.

You ALWAYS whine about that which you cannot disprove.

LOL

How come you never bother to ask for a cite, if or when someone is totally wrong? Because you have a good rebuttal. You don't in 
this case, so you whine about there being no cite.

What a hypocritical pussy.

Why do YOU care if WE change our census to NOT include illegals? If, as you say, they cannot vote, they shouldn't be able to 
influence the electorate, which IS a part of our "Democratic Republic" ways, so fuck off and keep cheering your communist leaders.

Q: Who controls the census and who can change the way it's taken?

The PRESIDENT and Department of Commerce: THE PRESIDENT, through the Secretary of Commerce, oversees the Census Bureau and CAN 
ISSUE EXECUTIVE ORDERS.

=====

The U.S. Census is mandated by the Constitution and is controlled by several branches of the federal government, each with a 
different level of authority.

Who Controls the Census

The U.S. Census Bureau, a federal agency within the Department of Commerce, is the entity responsible for conducting the census. 
The Director of the Census Bureau is nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate.

Who Can Change the Way It's Taken

The authority to change the census process is distributed among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches:

Congress: According to the Constitution, Congress has the primary authority to direct the manner in which the census is taken. 
Congress passes the laws (Title 13 of the U.S. Code) that govern the census, including its funding, and can add or remove 
questions.

The President and Department of Commerce: The President, through the Secretary of Commerce, oversees the Census Bureau and can 
issue executive orders. However, these actions are often challenged and are subject to the laws passed by Congress and rulings by 
the courts.

The U.S. Supreme Court: The Supreme Court has the power to rule on the legality of census-related policies and questions. For 
example, the Court has blocked attempts to add certain questions to the census when it found the rationale for the addition to be 
insufficient.

In summary, while the Census Bureau manages the day-to-day operations, Congress holds the ultimate legal authority to change the 
census process, with significant checks and balances FROM THE PRESIDENT and the Supreme Court.

WHEN are you going to stop sucking at this, lakehouse rich boy?

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a 
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in 
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
