More than half of Americans disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job of running the country.

Trump is a failing authoritarian whose approval ratings are tanking. Like any bully, when he feels humiliated, he lashes out. But what he doesn't realize is that his authoritarianism and his bullying are waking up America's great sleeping giant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXHPCL12QIg[image or embed]

As long as the 30 percent who will support him no matter what, just to pwn the libz continue to show up at the polls in numbers unseen before the half-white dude ran for president in 2008, we're still screwed.

We now know for a fact that some MAGA want to kill Trump over Epstein.

There's an election coming up in 2028... You can have your say then.

"But the Dow is at 48,985! I mean 48,978..."

Funny that. Gambling on increased USD inflationary risk vs. CHF (Swiss) exchange rate risk, I ended up netting around $30k since March, 2025 by converting USD into CHF via forex. So far, my 75 year-old mom has taken 2 cruises of the British Isles and the Scandinavian Fjords on Viking with the proceeds. Thanks, MAGAts.

When a mostly-moronic leader throws his self-manufactured shit against the wall, hoping that it sticks, here is what he ends up with:

1. A hand that smells like shit
2. A wall that smells like shit
3. A floor that is covered in shit
4. Shoes that are covered in shit (from walking on the shit-covered floor)
5. A trail of shit wherever he goes.
6. All his sycophants smelling of and covered in shit.

Long-term, this leads to :

A legacy completely encrusted with dried shit.
A bunch of sycophants who have been wallowing in shit so long they have become completely accustomed to the stench.

(Those who recognize the stench (complain about it and/or seek to keep clear of it) are labeled as having "TDS" by the shit-smearer-in-chief).

Time to put a leash on the Pedo Protector.

Make that 48,925...

Of course, the stock market is NOT the economy. Consumer sentiment is turning negative, and that is often a precursor of a recession. The 'quit rate' is still 2.00%, so not bad, but many are concerned about what the hell is happening with the US economy and the insane actions of Der Dotard. It will be a laff riot to see Congress ducking and diving to avoid voting to impose tariffs, weeks before the 2026 midterms. What a conundrum for MAGA functionaries--act like the Trump B!tches they are and vote for tariffs, or resist their orange leader in attempts to keep their jobs and meaning in life. If the Dems can figure out how to benefit from the current chaos, they will be beneficiaries of a landslide of epic proportions, perhaps topping Nixon-McGovern...

You'll have to do better than Jasmine Crockett and the squad to win in November. As bad as the republicans are, they're still ahead of that anti-American trash.

Aww, you're still living in 2018-2022. How cute!

Which means the 40% of Americans are MAGAt dead-enders who will never be dissuaded from their allegiance to Hair Furor.

The people who live in your folks' heads is insane, considering the daily out-of-control dumpster fire that's presently the US federal government, not to mention the white trash at the top of the heap.

What's clear is that as long as it angers the Right People, you don't give one complete s--t about anything Trump does to ruin this country domestically and internationally, whether it's his personal or office-related behavior.

You, Boaz, Babbles, BellRinger, et al.: What's in it for you? Once Trump is gone, no one is going to cover for your lack of morals?

Republicans, remember: You asked for this. Given the choice between a dozen solid conservatives and one Clinton-supporting con-artist and game-show host, you chose the con-artist. You chose him freely. Nobody made you do it.

Trump is crushing small government conservatives. They're almost extinct. #Winning

Look at this: minus-47 points among independents, the lowest Donald Trump has ever been in either of his two terms as president with independents."

That's even lower that it was after he had his shit-smearing cop killers invade DC on J6.

If there is a chance to get Trump out in early 2027, that will be taken.

I don't think even the Libertarian Party will take them... like they did all those mysteriously disappearing GW voters.
