Trump's Second Term

Okay, so it's clearly combining the 95% strongly and 4% somewhat to arrive at a 99% approval rate. But WTF do those dates even mean? If they are dates (and what else could they be?) they jump from February to August, to March and then back to February. And who is this supposed to be a poll of? Is this a national poll, or a poll of people in Trump's last cabinet meeting? Is it a poll of people wearing "he can grab my pussy" T-shirts at his last rally? What institution or agency collected and compiled the data this graph purports to represent?

It sure looks like someone was trying to soothe Trump with some ego stroking ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ whipped up by a flunky with a poor understanding of how graphs work to try to pull him out of a temper tantrum or deep funk. "Look, Mr. President! Even the 1% who disapprove only do so somewhat. See? You really are a great guy beloved by everyone!"

One thing I'm sure of: this will be posted all over social media by the same idiots who post national maps of electoral college results thinking that they prove a "red wave".

I'm guessing that the poll is one of people who sign up to the C-PAC newsletter.

As long as it shows high numbers for Donald he doesn't care where it comes from.
It obviously means the entire population of the country.

Only Oxford seems to agree with Trump. We speak American American. The Websters and so on still call it American English.

It's all about the corruption. Musk getting government contracts for Tesla, and cancelling other competitors'. Money going to Trump via memecoin, in return for favours. Many of the other things are just distractions to keep the press busy and his supporters amused.

The president's side hustle is proving to be very, very lucrative.

Putin and the rest of the world continuing to laugh at these bumbling fools.

I'm told that Russian is a language which particularly lends itself to saying one thing while meaning another. So a literal translation might sound friendly and cooperative but a fluent translator would recognise that they're sarcastically implying the listener is a contemptible fool. Not taking your own interpreter to meetings with the Russians might be a sign that they're right.

I went to McLaughlin and Associates website and found their monthly roundup for February. This link is to a PDF - look in particular at page 7.

Putting his name on other people's things to fool the hard of thinking that they're worth more than they really are has been his grift for years. This is a natural extension.

To be fair so is English, as spoken in Britain anyway. "That's a very interesting idea, we'll be sure to take it into consideration". Maybe he should have had an interpreter when he spoke to Starmer too?

The dates are month and year, not month and day. I think it is a poll of attendees of CPAC.

Ah, that makes sense.

I'm guessing that the poll is one of people who sign up to the C-PAC newsletter.

Still, it's like saying 99% of the people in the Official Lee Greenwood Fan Club polled rated God Bless the U.S.A. a great song.

Probably.

 

[Foster Zygote]

That does suggest that CPAC think he's doing just as good a job as President now as he was in August 2022.

But he was president. The evil librools stole the election, don't cha know?

Eghh, our neighbor put lightening rods on his house, butt








n'tr

As I was trying to say but had a computer issue, one of our neighbors put lightning rods on the roof of his garage but never grounded them. A recent lightning strike caught his garage on fire. Burned up about half of it.

Trump would definitely think it's a great compliment if someone told him "that's very brave of you".

Trump would probably think it was a great compliment if someone called him a ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ moron to his face.

"He had tears in his eyes, he was so choked up he could barely speak. In fact he had to leave the room and I could hear him laughing with respect at my bravery".

The POTUS clearly needs to take advice from an English civil servant.

[How to guide ministers to making the right decisions

Sir Frederick: [...] there are four words to be included in a proposal if you want it thrown out.

Sir Humphrey: Complicated. Lengthy. Expensive. Controversial. And if you want to be really sure that the Minister doesn't accept it, you must say the decision is "courageous".

Bernard: And that's worse than "controversial"?

Sir Humphrey: Oh, yes! "Controversial" only means "this will lose you votes". "Courageous" means "this will lose you the election"!

These people are so ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ stupid.

 

[Safe-Keeper]

Someone on Twitter once wrote, "I love that in Norway we say Kjære vakre vene, which translates to dear, beautiful, and kind, but really means "Are you a ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ moron?", and I think that's beautful!"

I can never work out anymore when they're actually being stupid themselves or just counting on the cult to be as stupid as they are.
