he's BRAGGING about an approval rating of 48%

Rasmussen is also a heavily conservative leaning poll that is widely considered trash.

Most of them are 10 points lower as Milk pointed out. And thats not going to get much better with the poo poo storm brewing from the National Lampoon European Vacation.


Things are going to get real interesting when the Feds hang Jared by his toes in a basement and start putting the screws to him. Rick Wilson correctly pointed out that Kushner isn't built well for prison and he will sing whatever song he has to to get out of going to the klink. Bannon, who already hates him, is the lead on the new crisis response team they are building to fix the Russia poo poo storm. As soon as he gets a reason he will sew Star of Davids on all of Jared's clothes and change his name cards to Jude. Selling out Flynn and the rest as Russian contacts will be that reason.



Edit: Clarified last point.

I think it's highly probable that Bannon is completely OK letting Kushner and others get caught up in this Russia poo poo. Hell, he's probably doing some of the leaking.

Also, my fanfic is that the FBI finds poo poo on Jared, then transfers the case to the New York State Attorney General to charge Jared. It's obvious that Donnie would pardon Jared, but pardons only apply to people charged with Federal crimes, not State crimes. Unfortunately for my fanfic a lot of money laundering crimes and poo poo like that are federal.

What's your point? You go back 80ish years in Japanese politics and they were beheading captured American soldiers. I don't see them returning to that. 50 years ago people were marching for equal rights in the south. Around the same time a sitting president decided to rescind the presidency rather than face impeachment.

If you have to reach back over a century to draw parallels to today, it might be because the actions of the present are indefnisble

I don't think generalizing those events onto the entirety of the united States is particularly representative or anything. Are turfwars between gangs in Illinois and California a sign that the country never developed past violent factionism?

Trump's cabinet people are openly stating that coal is dying and we need to move to other sources of energy.

Also they're basically saying they support pretty much all the provisions of the TPP and are trying to do it again under a different name

Trump is completely absent and stupid so everyone in the admin is starting to figure out they can just propose all their favorite policies from the WSJ editorial page.

Edit:

http://fusion.kinja.com/donald-trump-is-getting-played-like-a-sucker-by-his-own-1795583550

quote:


There was a real fear that Trump actually would govern the way he promised he would in the campaign: As a Huey Long-style, “every man a king” populist. Now that Trump is actually in power, though, he is doing nothing to actually enact what could have been a (worryingly!) popular agenda of ruthless repression for some matched with guaranteed economic security for most.

Is this because Trump’s campaign rhetoric was a smokescreen for a much more austere conservative agenda? I don’t think so. This budget isn’t Trump pushing the policies he secretly intended to push the whole time—it looks much more like the result of a disengaged and ignorant executive getting taken advantage of by the highly ideological snakes he was dumb enough to fill his administration with.

Let’s be clear: Only a complete dumbass would hire someone like Mick Mulvaney and ask him to draft a budget. The result was always going to be politically toxic, because actual right-wing ideas, once transplanted from the realm of pure rhetoric to actual quantified numbers, are incredibly unpopular. There is a large constituency for blaming America’s problems on mooches and freeloaders. There isn’t much of one for slashing spending that helps actual humans, who, by and large, don’t consider themselves mooches and freeloaders.

This is Gary Cohn, specifically, who has also pushed for a nationwide carbon tax in the background. Apparently he has a good hold on Trump, even more so now that Bannon has been pushed to the sidelines.

Of course it's hard to say how much of that matters with a man who holds the convictions of a wet paper bag with escalating dementia.

I'm most hype about kushner possibly going down. Hated that smug looking bastard the second I saw him. And gently caress anyone who was saying him and ivanka would be the voices of reason. He was an unknown factor from the get go, combined with zero experience, that should have made him viewed as equally dangerous as bannon.
