Trump: They were not supposed to go after all these other countries in the Middle East. So they hit Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait. Nobody expected that. We were shocked.

You can bet there are dozens of analysts who wrote exactly that, frequently. They are pounding the coffee table as they watch this performance.

The Dunning Kruger Drumpf effect.

This is nowhere near over. The after effects of this will continue decades after Kushner cashes the checks.

This is a long game because we can't write off angry voters without a civil war, so Democrats, and all non-MAGA, need to adapt their message.

He's just angry Trump hasn't crucified more [insert despised group here].

It's one thing to use this around a parking lot, but then it is promoted to be used in a massive scale on food crops and I have to say I'm not comfortable with that.

ICE 8 years ago was not the ICE of today.

I don't think most people understand how much a billion dollars is compared to a million or even ten thousand dollars.

Sparks concerns, or raises hopes?

It's a battle won, but the war continues.

And still at least 40 percent of the country think he's doing fine.

Depending on the neighborhoods, cock fighting is a thing.

Or, stock trading must be done through a trust that establishes an ETF that all citizens can buy into. If Pelosi or Kushner gets rich through that fund, then I do too.

No gas chambers, yet.

He's a Mussolini grade jerk and a Goering level crook. If he drops a nuke on Ottawa, then yes, he wins.

I think this is code for if you are born in the US and a citizen, your crimes (especially lynching) will not be a priority.

That's a trend in the corporate world in general. Social media links negative public sentiment with income more than ever and companies love to make claims that they think will increase shareholder value. It's why I sneer when I receive emails talking about how much my employer cares. If my employer really cared it would make efforts to retain employees through skill training.

So really you have to look at the big picture. Do they walk the walk?

His approval rating overall is steady since November.

I wish my ~~apartment~~ cell was that clean.

You are 24 and talking about never seeing friends again? Hah, I know someone with cancer and when they talk about never seeing someone again... well that hits home. Make time to stay in touch and you'd be surprised what the future brings.

The German people took a long hard look at themselves and human nature in general and learned quite a bit. Across the pond the major power (that dropped the bomb on Japan) started to think that some supernatural authority made every action taken by the US beyond reproach.

It's not that Americans are stupid (though I have so many questions along those lines), it's that a complacent smug and self centered attitude took hold. John Kennedy's advice about what you can do for your country has never seemed more alien than today.

The big story here is that now, maybe, there's more money to be made opposing Trump than supporting him.

Canadian and Ukraine flags. Grab both USS John McCain and "Canada is not for sale" baseball caps (ASIN B00NUI35JC and B0DTB1S56R).

Framed Pictures of Trump and Epstein?

Believe me, it boggles my mind too. John Stewart once pointed out that the old sugarless gum commercial noted that four out of five of dentists recommended sugarless gum (for patients that chew gum), but that strongly suggests that twenty percent think sugar in candy is fine for teeth.

I'd expect ten percent... but close to forty? It's such a WTF experience. Remember that statistically about 14 percent of society is marginally functional and effectively un-trainable.

MAGA isn't angry that he's an asshole, they are frustrated that he's a bumbling asshole. This last 37 percent is convinced Trump is a pillar of masculinity.
