... Trump's job approval rating slipped to a record low of 34 percent this week, according to a poll conducted by YouGov and The Economist, amid a deeply unpopular war with Iran that has strained the U.S. economy. A separate poll found that the president's support among white adults without college degrees -- a usually reliable group of voters for Trump -- is also falling. Trump had a +28 net approval rating among the group when his second term began but that slipped to -4 as of mid-May. "That was always his base. That's like Taco Bell losing stoners," Maher joked in the opening monologue of his HBO late-night show "Real Time with Bill Maher." "I mean, really, losing the non-college-educated white people? What does he have to do, stage UFC fights on the lawn? Oh, wait, we're doing that, I forgot. We actually are doing that. My bad," the host added. ...

#3 - We get it... anyone who doesn't always hate Israel supports genocide. Just like anyone who doesn't always support Israel supports terrorism. Yawn.

Neither warm nor cold. Spit it out, moral relativist.
Somebody's got to be wrong.
Israel is the Usurpers.
They brought the Violence With Them.
Palestine pre 1948 was not the Horror it is today.
Blame isn't hard to ascribe if you just look at what's already happened.
Swastika Boi.

"anyone who doesn't always hate Israel supports genocide."

"Somebody's got to be wrong."

Another Zero Information Content statement.
Is this one of those situations?

Bill is seeing the wind starting to blow in another direction and is resetting his sail. Mostly, it's Bill that blows.
