Every day I go to the 538 Trump approval tracker.
And every day, he holds in that 43-45% zone. Nothing changes. Nothing matters. |

He's not dipping below 41-42% while he's president. I think if he's voted out in November his approval ratings will drop as people get some time away from the cult. |

Metaphor for the utter darkness that characterizes this administration.

They used tear gas on peaceful protesters so Trump could have a photo op.

We only have one big beautiful law now, the law of Trump. Congrats conservatives.

I also liked how it was a litany of people he was protecting us from including Antifa and then in a more hushed tone “others”, you know white suprematists.

Looking at it again, I'm convinced he was looking for the word BIBLE so he could feature it in the product placement.

Could he even talk for 30 seconds about what Antifa even is ? Considering he thinks it is a group (as in One Group) i am sceptical.

I have never heard of a murder or anything attributed to them. I know white supremacists and neo-nazis have committed a number of deadly terrorist attacks in this country but were instead labeled fine people.
It sort of just seems like a catch-all for people protesting against things the right doesn't like. Last edited by RainMaker : 06-01-2020 at 06:44 PM. |

De-escalation is not in his psychology so unsurprisingly he believes his only play is to push forward with escalating the rhetoric and somebody else will bend.
Will this be the first time that backfires on him? Hard to say, but in the short term it's going to look REAL bad if he and his GOP lackies start authorizing military action on US citizens.

I know Just wanted to point one should expect the President to know that too. So either he does and thus won't say it (can't have people thinking this is complicated) or he truly has not bothered to even check.

I guess that Putin phone call he got inspired him. I figure Trump keeps martial law in effect until he wants to hand the reigns over to Little Donny.

He needed to show he's not a wimp. He didn't like the press coverage of him being bunkered the other night so he had to show us how tough he is.

But will it, tho? My wife and I were talking about this maybe a half hour ago. Like my coworkers, your typical Texas conservatives, will bend over backwards to justify what he's doing. "It's just the bad people." "They earned it." "They brought a kid to a riot -" wait, that was the other thread. It's all over the Twitter thread where the riot police beat on the cameraman: From the "I'm a never Trumper but they shouldn't have been there" to "When police tell you to do something, you do what you're told to" to, of course, "they had it coming". Until it's on their street, shooting at them or their family, it's easy to ignore or rationalize it. SI

Yup.
Also, this one time a white guy told a joke, and, yeah, the N-word was in the punchline. But everyone acted all offended even though it was obvious that he was just joking. So, you know, people are being oppressed all the time, and if you want to blame people for supporting Trump when he threatens to use the military against U.S. citizens, you should really be mad at the people who get way too offended over jokes, because that is why white people feel they have to support Trump. |

I try not to be alarmist but watching the Chair of the Joint Chiefs wander through D.C. to monitor the security situation and then seeing videos of armed white mobs patrolling streets in Philly starts to concern me.
edit: And Blackhawks flying low over protestors in D.C.

Of course in 5 months all these GOP senators that are “concerned” and “troubled” will be licking his butthole on the campaign trail.

Trump's campaign doesn't seem to understand that need need to persuade people that either didn't vote in 2016 or voted for Clinton to now vote for him. Ever greater base mobilization won't work.
