âIf Mueller does not determine illegal ties with the Kremlin but does find evidence of criminal obstruction, 52 percent of Americans think Congress should move to oust Trump from the White House, while 46 percent say Congress should not take steps to impeach Trump.â
Thatâs still an impasse.
This is actually fairly remarkable, considering Trump has had the stage entirely to himself for almost two years now without Mueller uttering a single word. I believe most Americans still arenât following all this very closely.
Now, when he finally releases his âreportâ -in whatever form - the people on the fence are going to be shocked with the magnitude and depth of corruption revealed by Mueller. And the numbers will change to reflect that. I believe we will arrive at a tipping point, at some point.
Bravo for this post. The key is the last sentence of your first paragraph.
I love my brother very muchâŚbut he is a street cat who is not following Trump at all (except to sometimes say, âBasta yaâ)
HAMMER that fucker with top-notch intel-turned-into-actionable-legal-measuresâŚ
Iâm curious about the methodology of this polling. All three folks quoted are elderly. Was this done using landlines? Iâm smack in the middle of the demographic, and my cell phone is quite busy rejecting unknown numbers, so Iâm never weighing in on these things. But for the record: I have every confidence in the OSC investigation. Have we impeached the motherfucker yet?
(h/t @tena )
They arenât. We here do so we assume people around us are. Theyâre not. But when the report is released even if itâs an outline and doesnât have juicy details, those details will be filled in soon enough. Then âtheyâ will catch up. Except the ânever anyone but trumpâ zombies
In the latest poll, 80 percent of Republicans and just 8 percent of Democrats say they approve of Trump.
I heard a pundit (on one of the msnbc weekend shows) state that focusing on the number of Republicans who approve of Trump is not the interesting number to watch, although it is significantly high for a president of either party. Said the number to watch was the shifts in the number who identify as Republicans, which this pundit (I donât recall who), said was getting smaller. So the often reported 80-90% within party support - is of an increasingly smaller slice of the total population.
â60% of people have some confidence in something they havenât even seenâ seems like a pretty high number.
Do we expect that number to go up or go down once thereâs actually a picture of a Courier New double-spaced document the evening news can plaster behind the anchorâs head every day? I think I would expect it to go up, not down, but Iâm curious what other folks think.
A statistic which can be Chuck Todd-ed (ignored) to death
With his loathsome smirk thrown in.
I agree. And at that point there will be a distinction between those who have become cultists + lib slayers (that is, if it makes libs cry - it must be good) from the hold your nose coalition of âwe want conservative judgesâ religious right (who are not culticized), the âwe want lower taxesâ traditional - but not paying attention republicans. What will be left - will be a relatively smaller group - and it wonât resemble the traditional GOP. More like the most fanatic teaparty + racist factions.
Very much so. Every day when you get up, rehearse this line twenty times out loud before you head out into the world.
Twitter isnât real life.
Twitter isnât real life.
Twitter isnât real life.
PP fans are more than fans, theyâre the early stage of a cult. Theyâre adopting his rabid language and endorsing his ideas: âfake newsâ, âenemy of the peopleâ, âratsâ, etc., and believe the press is out to get him because heâs misunderstood.
âWASHINGTON (AP) â As the special counsel investigation into Donald Trumpâs presidential campaign winds downâŚâ
Iâm just gonna go ahead and call âBullshâ!â here on AP.
Another outsized influencer is being fined for wielding that influence. FWIW Warrenâs in favor of breaking up Google.
I will say this:
If the voting % of those 18-50 and the voting % of those 55+ were reversed, we would be debating types of green energy, types of student aid, types of voter protection, types of left of center SCOTUS justices., types of regulation of companies, types of environmental attention
Itâs scary that where real life isnât (on twitter) is about the only space where the sitting president appears to do anything at all, as president. Laziest, dumbest, most dangerous president ever. Oh - and completely incompetent. Example:
That border bolstering he did to âthwart the caravanâ just before the election. The concertina wire⌠parts are being stolen and⌠well letâs just say it isnât thwarting âthe caravan.â Arenât we glad we are sending national reserve troops down to do this kind of work?
AP ait the only miscreant, but as long as the baby is happy, itâs all good.
Just the fact that one of the authors is named Hannah Fingerhut makes it suspect.
The other day a poll stated 50% thought the probe was a witch hunt.
Now 60% think the probe will be fair.
Am I fucked up, or the polls?
The cultists - when they are appointed to ambassadorships - spread a rank stench. For example, itâs going so well in GermanyâŚ
âIf a U.S. diplomat acts like a high commissioner of an occupying power, he will have to learn that our tolerance has its limits,â Kubicki said.
The Social Democratsâ parliamentary manager Carsten Schneider weighed in too, saying: âDiplomatically, Mr. Grenell is a complete failure. This entire thing seems like the behavior of a naughty schoolboy.â
