Barely, though. His approval rating is similar to Obama’s at the same time in office (43%), and that’s fairly depressing. It also means that even after all the shit he’s done, he’s only lost 3% of the voters compared to the election in 2016, and almost none of them were solid Republicans to begin with.

Trump is a boob alright, but I don’t think that is what you meant.

Well you know what a good job Republicans are doing with the economy every time they are in charge of it. They lead by example.

It’s less sarcasm than cynicism I suppose - 9-11 has become a fairly routine day in recent years, a day that goes by with little introspection and almost no public debate. That’s disheartening, given that the war started on the back of 9-11 is still ongoing, and given that the current administration has actually…

Only Democrats have to be smart and educated in order to get elected.

Well before Trump, they’ve been the party that elects wrestlers and movie actors with no political experience to senior government positions.

And you know how well that kind of man handles rejection.

That meeting between two Democrats and two fascists went about as well as this one:

Public humiliation, negotiating in bad faith, appeasement of the mad man - where have we seen that before?

I suppose it’s a misappropriation of an old quote from George Bernard Shaw. The correct quote:

Wouldn’t it be fantastic if Trump and Pence were impeached and Pelosi became President until January 2021? Republicanistan (that other half of the country) would blow a fuse.

Small addendum:

Leave in the excess violence, misogyny, rampant insecure masculinity and play it straight. It is so over the top it exists as a parody of itself by now.

Even Miss Teen South Carolina knows that Binomo is not a real country - unlike the last ambassador to the UN, a person with actual political experience who was downright overqualified compared to the new hire.

She’s young, she’s a woman, and she’s a latina.

One could say they have a hard-on for 9-11 whenever it’s convenient. But only then. Remember when the firefighters had to strongarm Ghouliani to give them permission to search for their fallen among the rubble, so that the remains could get a proper burial instead of being dumped in a mass grave that “America’s mayor”…

Once the power of the almighty green has burned away your soul, this is how you end up. The devil always collects his due.

When you realize that you were the A-Team, and now they’re scrambling to get applications for the C-Team...

“29-year-old congresswoman who doesn’t seem to know much about anything.”

I remember a statistic from the time of the London riots a couple of years ago - black residents were sixty times as likely to be stopped and searched by police than white residents.
