Even Tulsa Republicans are smarter than Trump gave them credit for Trump-- still stealing Tom Petty's music after his death-- was served with a cease and desist order after he used I Won't Back Down at the poorly attended Tulsa hate rally last night.
Only an extremist conspiracy-theorist would accuse Fox News of released polls based against Trump. The new Fox poll is likely to elicit that kind of response on the fringes of society. Among registered voters, Trump approval rating is just 44% (55% disapproval) and just 38% say they would vote to reelect him.
Trump is old and senile and doesn't understand the world around him. Yesterday, he said "If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any." If that's not enough to trigger the 25th Amendment, why did we even both to pass it? Maybe he should read John Pavlovitz's new post, You Know You Can’t Wish Away A Pandemic, Right?.
If you remember Strom Thurmond at all, you probably recall him as a senile, diaper-wearing far right Republican Senate pal of Joe Biden's, who died in 2003 (age 100)-- but that Republican part wasn't part of the equation until 1966. He was prominent politically decades earlier-- even as a presidential candidate. Earlier still, he was elected governor of South Carolina in 1946 as a Democrat (and with no opponent).
What a horrible Washington Post headline: Joe Biden Let Police Groups Write His Crime Bill.Now, His Agenda Has Changed. I saw a poll the other day released by CNN that shows Biden decisively beating Trump in November... sort of. 55% of registered voters say they will cast their ballots for Biden and just 41% say they'll vote for Señor Trumpanzee. That's a mammoth gap. BUT...
A new poll of registered voters helps explain why we're seeing more dangerously psychotic manifestations from Trump lately. His approval has sunk to 38%.
Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal's Andrew Restuccia reported that the Trump regime was taking whatever focus they once had on the pandemic, in other directions. "The White House coronavirus task force," he wrote, "is meeting less frequently, the government’s top infectious disease expert is getting little face time with President Trump, and the administration’s virus-testing coordinator is returning to his previous job. U.S.
In the 2000 election, 167,398 Alaskans (58.62%) voted for George W Bush against Al Gore. Four years later 190,889 Alaskans (61.07%) voted for Bush against John Kerry. Bush was popular among Alaskan voters-- who also backed John McCain (59.42%) and Mitt Romney (54.80%). But Trump isn't well liked by most Alaskans. He barely eked out a majority against Hillary-- 51.28%, pretty sad compared to Bush.
I missed "The Seven Last Words of the Unarmed" when it debuted a month after Señor Trumpanzee was sworn in. Composed by Joel Thompson, it featured a guest appearance by the University of Michigan Men’s Glee Club. It was meant to honor the lives of Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Oscar Grant, Eric Garner, Kenneth Chamberlain, Amadou Diallo, and John Crawford.Obviously, it is very much needed once again.
I've hated Biden since the 1970s when he switched parties, called himself a Democrat and rode his slick pandering to anti-busing racists in the Delaware suburbs into the U.S. Senate. Once in the Senate he started competing for the position of "most conservative Democrat"-- no easy task when the Senate was full of Dixiecrat racists who hadn't jumped to the GOP yet.
