President Trump is showing lower approval ratings than most modern presidents. (Truman and Bush Sr. were lower). That's actually impressive considering the collapse of the economy, mishandled pandemic response and deaths along with destruction of services.projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval…
Biden is leading but Trump leads rural voters by 17 points and whites without college degrees by 10 points. Undecided or third candidate is 10%. Lot's of room for movement before election. thehill.com/homenews/campa…
Portland business owners support the use of armed federal employees so Trump may also be gaining some traction with his urban reality show tour. They are protecting federal property not businesses. bizjournals.com/portland/news/…
Most don't realize the three ring Trump circus that suckers the media is built on data combined with outrageous acts to measure shifts in undecided voters towards or away from a candidate. In other words, Trump is just fucking with us. The media are naive. nytimes.com/article/bill-s…
You probably didn't see this but in the UK data has been directed to Dominic Cummings. Who uses the Brits as lab animals to come up campaign stunts and platform for Trump. Migrants fear, neo-nationalism, and overt racism were all cooked up in the UK. diginomica.com/empire-buildin…
The similarity is that the 1% is manipulating the 99% by spoon feeding them hate. But that hate must be directed against outsiders not insiders who are robbing the and gaming the system. Inherited rich kid incompetent boob Trump is the enemy of America. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
Trump is literally creating violent street theater to stop voters from blaming him for the destruction of the economy, looting of our treasury, preventable deaths and his catastrophic foreign policy. It may work. pfyshop.com/products/mark-…
Remember Trump has been selling Dystopia, even engaging foreign dictatorship to help create chaos and undermine democratic principals, building blocks and challenges to absolute authority. Trump is in it to win it. He doesn't give a shit about the rest. theatlantic.com/entertainment/…
Some of Trump's visual scare tricks like the Wall are actually a disaster. Most of the "Wall" was a prebudgeted replacement repair allocation by with the minor extensions stolen from the military. But it's going to stop. thehill.com/regulation/cou…
Our foreign policy has been outsourced to creepy family member Jared who again outsourced that to terrified dictators and disgraced sycophants like Rudy and Prince backed up by Grumpy Trump randomly threatening and strong arming nations for personal gain. rawstory.com/2018/05/pile-i…
Shit Tweeter Trump has severely indebted and crippled this nation: killing thousands, bankrupting businesses, unemploying millions, reducing our prospects for the future and done the opposite of "Make America Great Again". #BlameGina#MakeitStickfactcheck.org/2020/07/trumps…
There is no argument that Trump has failed on every level but the cautionary tale here is that humans can be manipulated. And Trump is doing exactly that. Donald is feeding America a shit sandwich and telling them how great it tastes. So never confuse perception with reality.
Humans are gullible, often eager to be fooled. Biden is going to be handed a shit sandwich that Trump made. Or Trump will remain. So there is no happy ending but America must end the deliberate deceit, incompetence, deliberate division and criminal acts. vox.com/2014/4/6/55564…
Trump is a deranged product of constant mental abuse in a cosseted environment. He just wants to be loved and we are blocking that by pointing out his mental limitations, moral turpitude and personal failings. Let's all chip in and put his spray tanned mug on Mt Rushmore.

The Russian Tail is a statistical anomaly that appears in vote distribution data. In manipulated elections, this curve develops an extended tail, indicating disproportionately high votes for a specific candidate in certain regions or polling stations" lynxotic.com/the-russian-ta…
My thoughts for today; Let Donny roll. Incompetence at speed and scale is historically a healthy thing in the long run. Successful managers respect reality, inertia, logistics, limitations etc. Stupid people think bluster and bullshit trump homeostasis. That leads to...
...an inflection or pivot point. Stability is an enemy to change. Good and bad. Instability is an ideal landscape for change. Pro or con. Let Trump paralyze, terrorize and metastasize the government because it will draw forth change agents to battle his chaos agents.
Trump's reliance on superficial theatrics, threats, insults, and unleashing incompetent subordinates with foolish ideas to disrupt the bureaucratic system we call government will lead to fractures. The much quieter "deep state" understands how the government operates.
Tip: Trump is embracing the Broligarch mantra of "disruption" as in, "move fast and break things." I call it "Smash, Grab and Run" because there are three endstates: 1) Payoffs for corrupt donors, 2) Legacy reshaping and 3) Protection of Trump familial wealth.
Trump operates on three levels: 1) rapidly spewing outrage jibberish to keep the media chasing his laser pointer, 2) Echoing donor jingoism to pay bills, and 3) discussing deeply corrupt deals while abusing his office of President.
This is tempered by a) his incompetence (Dunning-Kruger) b) his inability to think strategically and c) betraying his corrupt donors to take the short money instead of the long money. His backers also discard him when he has no beneficial purpose just as he discards his minions.
For those following the fires in California. Fire is a natural part of life here. Santana or devil winds are normal. Wood frame mansions on the edge of brush are common. November 6, 1961 was a similar event. Doesn't minimize the shock or sense of loss. lafire.com/famous_fires/1…
This time we had the jet stream pushed too high. 30 degree variance between day and night. No rain so far (starts in mid-December). Winds out of season. Usually 3 days of hot dry winds from the desert in Sept/Nov. We had a lot of brush grow after two years of great rainfall.
The Pacific Palisades is a unique place. Dating back to the 20's. A lot of entertainment people. A lot of Jewish community. The heart of liberal California. Beautiful views and weather. $5M and up. They are going to have a major voice and impact as they get together to rebuild.
Back when no one believed that the UK would divorce Europe. Dominic Cummings was not only correct but was behind much of the strategy. economist.com/britain/2016/0…
The faces of Leave UK were not your usual politicans.
'A former Vote Leave staffer said that Cummings had a first rate political brain but less developed interpersonal skills. “Some people found him really odd,”. opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocra…
The premise of was false. But that didn't matter. African migrants weren't going to take over the UK. They were already there... from India and the colonies. "I think it’s perfectly reasonable to say ‘Brexit was a mistake and history will prove that’.”newstatesman.com/politics/2021/…
Jamie Raskin takes 72 pages to explain exactly what political weaponization looks like. Few are going to read this, but the shitbags and Russian spies who falsely testified against the President and his family should enjoy some form of very cruel wrath. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-subs…
There was also a sideshow where lawyers were dispatched to talk to Russian and FSB assets in Ukraine to invent evidence. This is part of an investigation related to contact with foreign agents. Perp walks, please. businessinsider.com/victoria-toens…
Much of this goes back to the Mueller investigation, where Russians and Russian assets were tasked to influence a pussy mad, broke-ass hick from Queens named Donald Trump. They won. We lost. justice.gov/archives/sco/f…
