It completely baffles me that there are apparently a decent number of people who voted for this jackass who are somehow surprised he's doing everything he said he spent months telling everyone he was going to do. Dumb fucks deserve all the pain and heartache they're going to get. I never really understood what people get out of apocalyptic religious stories where the wicked are punished with divine torment for defying God but now that I am faced with so many people who, despite having access to all of the information required to make a better decision, willingly chose to do the wrong thing because of their willful ignorance and greed, I understand these texts so much better. It is maddening to have a way of morality and justice that you believe in and see people who you feel should do better completely disregard all you believe in. It's no wonder people wrote stories about how there is a day of reckoning coming, where the first shall be last and the last shall be first, the wicked will be punished for knowingly defying the rules, and the good will be rewarded for staying the course. I don't wish eternal damnation on those who voted for Trump and I don't think there's a God who would even do that to them but I don't feel bad for them at all and I refuse to listen to them cry about losing their jobs or not being able to afford groceries if those things result directly from their decisions. Their Day of Judgement is coming, and it's entirely self created. Fitting for a group of people who worship a man as a god- their god king is the source of their judgement.

Too long
Still way too high
He's doing great, folks. The best any president has ever done.
/If you can't read sarcasm on the internet, turn off your computer.
I find myself increasingly not giving a shit what other people think. They should have realized 6 months ago what would happen and vote proactively. This guy is not acting like someone who cares about future elections. Which should give us a clue what is going to happen next year in the midterms.
Who is answering these polls, exactly?
He is now requesting an investigation into this. He thinks it can’t be real. They’ll probably try to arrest pollsters now.
Trump: “I have the best, most beautiful poll numbers. No one has ever had poll numbers like mine. I was told more people like me than anyone else. Elon was telling me the other day about how beautiful I am. He says no one is more beautiful than me. Sure am glad I got him to rig the election. No one can rig an election like him. But those numbers…wow. I bet more people like me than are alive. We should look into making all polls about me.”
Only 1361 more to go…
Not low enough.
Every damn headline
"Trump has lowest approval rating since 2016, with 40% disapproving, 35% greatly approving, and 25% confused that Biden is not president"
And then the article:
"The poll shows 1 in 3 Americans support continuing to send random brown people to a gulag in El Salvador on the off chance it lowers grocery prices."
If it's really that hard for people to tell that biden is no longer president, that's a damning indictment of the biden presidency.
It's an indictment of propaganda. Biden's presidency was 1000x better that the shit-show we have now and if someone can't tell the difference then they have their head up their ass or are drinking conservative propaganda through a fire-hose.
Look up the search trend for "Did Joe Biden drop out" around the election if you want to lose any remaining faith in humanity
What difference does it even make? He's already in office, he don't give a fuck about anybody else, and R voters are always gonna vote R.
Mid term elections. Other poloticians need to distance themselves from him if they want to win. So it leads to less radical republicans in those seats. And thus republican congress people who are more likely to vote to remove him from office, or even just to pass laws to restrict what he can do.
That's not fair, it's only because the lamestream media keeps telling everyone the things he's doing
I think this poor guy just wants friends who like him. And he decided to play the main character who gets free food and board for a few years..
If approval ratings mattered he'd be in trouble.
Oh you just wait and see till midterms come around. Or don't see but it's crucial that you wait. Never interrupt the enemy while he's making a mistake. Once he stops making mistakes, which has to be any day now, that's when surely somebody will come around and do something.
Oh you think there'd be midterms do you?
Any day now they'll dip low enough and Schumer's gonna GET 'IM. He's got a plan!
Shit! He put his readers down somewhere! He can't read the plan!
His plan is always capitulation, though.
