Surviving a second Trump admin

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

You can just feel the global respect.

:lol: That's what Cheryl Hines felt like.

DonOLD has gotten fat again.
Trump tried to shake Macron's hand and/or hug him... neither of which Macron allowed to happen.

That is the proper response to wannabe dictators.
2 leaders with great respect for each other…it’s great to see Macron & Zelensky have such a warm greeting

And of course trump tries to edge his way in but Macron’s not having it. 😂😂
I LOVE how much Macron hates Trump.
On anything of value, his brain is Bok Choy. On whether or not hims important self is gettin the attention hims deserves, he is Sherlock fucking Holmes.
Good. I want him aware enough to realize and understand every second of his destruction and failure. I want it to terrify and aggrieve and frustrate him into fits of apoplexy. I want his blood pressure to spike every time a common citizen snubs him.
That was a bro handshake, and drumpf left hanging made it even more glorious!!
47 looks like a stooge as usual.
President Zelensky got applause as he entered the Pope Francis funeral, the Europeans and people of many faiths get it…
I did EVERYTHING I could to help Kamala defeat this nazi monster.
Now it's time to help your country get rid of its cancer in any way possible. Organisé, put all your effort.
We are trying. It is so scary.
Lots more at the link. :---P

Let's say, using a lot of imagination, that what Trump says is both true and accurate and can be relied on. Let's say further that Trump announced his beautiful tariffs on Jan 20, and that corporate executives believed they had found the way to Big Rock Candy Mountain. Where in the US could any company have reached the "currently being built" stage in 3 months? Most couldn't even find a suitable location in that time much less get permits, hire contractors, yada. Liar beyond compare.

And yet, 40-something percent of a really stupid population still support him.

Point proven.

You might want to rephrase, though. It's closer to 100 percent of a really stupid population who still support him.

I think you meant: A really stupid 40-something percent of the population still support him.

Yeah, that's better phrasing, but I still have doubts about a lot of the ones who didn't/don't support him if they're doing anything other than doing whatever is in their power to dump Trump. The pro-Gaza people may not have made the entire difference, but their snit at Biden probably at least cost Michigan. Hope they're happy with what they got. Also the ones who complained that Kamala was "too Biden", too awkward, "not transparent" had "no policy" or was "too female/blackish" Hope they got what they deserved too.

As long as hypocritical leftists continue to whine trying to rationalize their loss while the country is no longer being fucked over by other countries. The Superstar Cultmaster enjoyed that shit. They were looking for a pot of gold at the center of the rainbow.

Map Shows Donald Trump's Approval Rating in Each State After 100 Days

... In deep-red states, Trump remains a dominant force. Alabama leads with a commanding 78 percent approval, followed by Mississippi (75 percent), Idaho (76 percent), and South Dakota (71 percent). Other Republican strongholds such as Tennessee, Wyoming, and Louisiana also reported approval ratings of 70 percent or higher, solidifying Trump's appeal among Republican strongholds and ensuring his influence in the most conservative corners of the country. Mississippi took the cake for the lowest disapproval rating, with just 20 percent disapproving.
:puke-left:
In contrast, Trump faces stiff opposition in liberal states. Vermont shows just 25 percent approval and 75 percent disapproval—the most negative margin in the country. Hawaii (31 percent), Maryland (39 percent), and California (39 percent) also report high disapproval, reflecting the president's ongoing unpopularity in Democratic-leaning regions.
:thumbup:
But in some Democratic-leaning states, Trump's approval rating is (above)water. For example, in Maine, which broke for Harris by 52 points in 2024, 53 percent said they approve of Trump. while 47 percent disapproved. And in New York, which broke for Harris by 56 points in 2024, Trump's approval rating stands at 49 percent, while 46 percent disapprove.
:problem:
Meanwhile, swing states present a mixed picture. While Trump earns majority approval in places like Georgia (60 percent) and Michigan (55 percent), other battlegrounds are more evenly split. Pennsylvania is evenly divided at 48 percent-48 percent, while Wisconsin stands at 49 percent approve and 49 percent disapprove, indicating that voters are divided over whether they support Trump in these states, which could make them important battlegrounds in the 2026 midterms.

Delaware, a traditionally blue state, was also tied, with 50 percent approval and 50 percent disapproval for Trump.
:roll:

After 100 days in office
(interactive map)

... According to the latest Fox News poll, Trump's approval rating currently sits at 44 percent, with 55 percent disapproving. That is down 1 point from Trump's 45 percent approval at this point eight years ago, according to Fox News.

It is also lower than the approval of Joe Biden (54 percent), Barack Obama (62 percent), and George W. Bush (63 percent) at the 100-day mark in their presidencies, and is down 5 points from Trump's 49 percent approval in March.

The new Pew Research poll found that Trump's net approval sits at -19 points, with 40 percent approving and 59 percent disapproving. In late January and early February, his approval rating stood at 47 percent, with 51 percent disapproving.

His current rating puts him on par with his first term, when his approval rating sat at 40 percent at the same point. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 1.8 percentage points.

Meanwhile, recent polls have shown Trump's approval rating at historic lows, including the latest YouGov/Economist poll, which showed 41 percent approving and 54 percent disapproving. That is down from a net approval rating of +2 points in March.

And in the latest YouGov/Elon University poll, conducted between April 10-17 among 1,000 respondents, Trump's net approval fell to -6 points, with 41 percent approving and 47 percent disapproving. That is down from a net approval of +4 points in February, when 45 percent approved and 41 percent disapproved....

I am not surprised his approval ratings have slipped some. He has moved so quickly it has unnerved some as our populace is not used to so much, so quickly. The overall support is still there as some of the polls indicate.

I think a better question would be, "If the election was held today would you vote for Harris or Trump?"

Yes, but the results would probably be close to the "approval" numbers. It's hard to understand approval for the method/approach, even if one agrees with the objectives.

We're still a ways away from seeing the tariff disruption in the supply line and retail prices and most haven't noticed.

Government services are in the process being cut to those that need them most, there will be real effects and consequences.


Amazon will probably back off of its latest, but when the price hikes happen, especially in the grocery stores we will find out there's further room to fall.

More efficient government is laudable, doing surgery with a dull hatchet when a skilled surgeon with a scapel is needed is just plain dumb.

Then

Biden administration grapples with American addiction as overdose deaths hit a record high

"And that is why we're seeing increasing rates of overdose deaths involving
methamphetamine and cocaine. It's because fentanyl is everywhere. Where
someone is using illegal drugs, it is likely that there is fentanyl in that drug,"
LaBelle said.
https://www.congress.gov/117/meeting/ho ... 2-SD008.pd

Now

Fentanyl deaths are plummeting -- why?

Street fentanyl is incredibly potent. But in many parts of the U.S., organizations that test fentanyl doses sold by drug dealers — often in pill form — have found a significant drop in purity. No one's sure why drug cartels have changed their mixtures. Some researchers believe law enforcement pressure in China, Mexico and the U.S. is disrupting the black market fentanyl supply chain.
https://www.npr.org/2025/03/24/nx-s1-53 ... eath-drugs


At little-known US research lab, Bondi meets with scientists studying illicit drugs to stop the flow

A key player in the U.S. government’s battle to combat the flow of deadly fentanyl is a team at a little-known research lab in northern Virginia that’s working to analyze seized narcotics and gather intelligence to find ways to stop the supply.
The White House has linked the fentanyl issue to his tariffs, saying the president is working to hold Mexico, Canada, and China “accountable to their promises of halting illegal immigration and stopping poisonous fentanyl and other drugs from flowing into our country.”
https://apnews.com/article/pam-bondi-la ... c7b15695a1

What is the actual number of deaths, do leftists even care?
How about the crumbling foundation of society that is caused by drugs?

Peace Love Dope! Let's get high, man! Fuck everything else.
