Our Felonious Ex-President

So far they’ve dropped below 40% and are steadily dropping, but I doubt they’ll be below 35% for long or even at all. His approval ratings are pretty much a solid 35-45% with not much variation. Compare this to George W Bush, who had both the highest and the lowest approval ratings recorded for any president.

I dunno.

Trump has a very loyal base, but not much support beyond it. If he manages to alienate that base, he could make GWB at his least popular look like Obama on inauguration day.

I’m really curious about this. I’m inclined to agree with this:

But I also think that as soon as Trump comes up with some farkakte new racism, they’ll all forget and he’ll have his base back.

And that base is approximately 35 percent of the country. Scary, huh?

Like that bullshit about prayer rugs found along the Mexican border? It doesn’t even have to make the smallest remotest amount of sense, but as soon as he starts talking that shit, it scares all the tighty whities into rallying around him

It’s been hovering around the 40 percent mark since the inauguration. I’m afraid that we may need to actually test the “kill a man on 5th Avenue” scenario.

A very well-written article.

My educated guess is that he won’t resign, but only because he’ll drag this mess out until 2020. He won’t run again, and will think it’s his idea to not run again. Mike Pence and/or Lindsay Graham wil run in his stead, and they will get slaughtered by whichever absolute fucking lightweight the Democrats decide to run.

I don’t know if I can take another two years of this bullshit.

This tweet made me wonder: has the awfulness of Trump finally convinced some people (who needed convincing) that maybe, just maybe, there are worse things than a woman president?

So apparently Trump is getting a lot of his … pseudofactomorphs … from Sicario: Day of the Soldado. Anyone know what’s going on?

Saw that too, but I’ve been away from the computer all day so I haven’t had a chance to check it out. Why in the world would a guy in his 70s who’s glued to Fox News be watching a B movie (C? D?) like that? There’s got to be more to the story.

I figure he outsources some of his stupidity. Rotten Tomatoes says that the first movie is pretty good, though the sequel is dramatically less so.

and, maybe, just maybe, an actual leftist president?
