    his popularity is not relevant. it’s not a voted position. this is all blah blah blah.

    if I were president and appointed the meanest christian idiot I could find, why would I care if the population calls him an idiot christian?

      It’s not relevant until it is. Self described democracies that are unable to respond to popular sentiment get unstable.

        I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s ok. it’s not your fault. it’s ok to stop pretending. America is no longer what people would refer to as a democracy. it’s a corporatist oligarchy and has been for several years.

        foxnews and media empires owned by a few individuals impose their will on the masses, not the masses expressing their desires, and definitely “of the people and for the people”

        it’s over. the faster we realize this, the faster we can form a more perfect union.

    Jesus fucking christ…

    Kegsworth is at negative 15%, and…

    Looking at historical polling data, Enten noted that former Defense Secretary Dick Cheney enjoyed 62-point net popularity around two weeks into the Gulf War,

    77 point approval drop from this admin trying to run the 9/11 playbook.

    It’s not that they’re more evil than Cheney, it’s that they’re just incompetent at selling the lie.

    We can’t waste this momentum in the midterms on neoliberals.

    Wow…our “Secretary of Dur-hur MOTHERFUCKIN’ WAR, bitches!” Is a spastic psychopathic fucktard with low intelligence anf zero understanding of the job he was hired to do. He’s a yes-man who doesn’t question his orange emperor when told to “bomb the hell out of them”. It doesn’t matter to Kegsbreath who “them” is. If it’s Iran, okay…Greenland? Fuck yeah, bro! Kill 'em all and let god sort 'em out! That’s what’s leading the most formidable military in the world…sadly, it reminds me of one thing: the Vietnam War…the difference is, Trump knew how to get out of Vietnam. Too bad bone spurs don’t prevent you from being President.

      This asshole should be at zero percent popularity already for all the idiotic foolishness he aimed at an org for kids, FFS (the Scouts - hurhur, we don’t want no GURLZ in there!), never mind the way he’s conducted himself during this war of choice.
