Matt LeBlanc is leaving Top Gear after this upcoming series. He cited that the show is putting a strain on spending time with his family due to all the travel and time away from home. Can’t fault the guy for having his priorities straight.

A shame but a good reason. Although I have to admit I haven't really kept up with it since he started hosting. His driving portions were good in the ones I saw, though, and he seemed to genuinely enjoy the job.

Trump has an 87% approval rating among republicans. Almost 9/10 Republicans think everything is fine. Trump represents the party. Hell, Trumps America is just America outside of major cities and colleges.

-edit reread your post : Rate of party affiliation hasnt changed all that much since 2016 either

I mean they can say that, but unless you watched them pull the leaver blue, they're probably what ever the gently caress a reverse-rino is. "Libertarians" or "Classical Liberals" or "Fiscal conservative/Social liberal". I'm not saying that those prior classifications don't exist, what I am saying is that it's become real real unpopular to call yourself a republican outside of being a politician, and I bet dollars to donuts that the majority of people who've become "disenchanted" with Trump as prior republicans still would rather pull the lever for an R candidate than a D candidate.

The Mounties did salute him, but he saluted so early that it was as if they were returning rather than rendering the salute.

It’s not important except in light of how loving bent out of shape dumbasses got whenever Obama’s saluting etiquette wasn’t perfect.

Yeah they wanted him to get a dog out of a shelter versus a "designer" dog, but the Obama kids had bad allergies and went with a Portuguese Water Dog for that reason.
