A tiny shard of hope. At this point, I'll take it.

The USA will hold their midterm elections in November. There will be a much clearer picture of the USA political scene after that.

Typical simple American with no education.

And most Americans have their priorities right?

I just wish they would get it over with.

The term "sheeple" was made for MAGAs.

As the Tony Mendez character said in Argo: "If they had an original thought in their head, it would die of loneliness"

What Trump or his sycophantic media say is gospel among the MAGAs, no matter how bizarre.

MAGAs have this way of spinning that always makes me laugh. Trump says something ridiculous and insane, and the first response of MAGAs is, "He's trolling the lefties".

Then MAGAs realize Trump is dead serious. Instantly MAGAs chime in "great idea!".

The best example is Greenland.

Sometimes, however, Trump is too batshoot crazy and demented, even for the MAGAs, so they simply ignore. My favorite example is when Trump sat in a presser in the UK with an EU official and said:

"Rwanda....7 million killed....machetes, machetes everywhere....but I stopped that" (re the 1994 Rwandan Genocide where 800K were killed at a time Trump was filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy for the nth time)

The Rev Jim Jones would be envious of how resolute MAGAs are following their cult leader.

We hope the work we do, covers our bills and there is a little extra to put into investments, Roth acct, stock market for down the road.

Right now, the cost of fuel, food, everything, means our investments going forward are near nil, while Trump and his high rollers make billions. Not fair, not what the country voted for putting the grifter/chisler in office.

Poll conducted by CNN, enough said, yawn.

Even the polls being conducted by Fox at this point are pretty dismal for Trump and the Republicans. Here is the result of one of the most recent polls. And it certainly doesn't bid well for the midterms. Even many Republicans think Trump has failed miserably when it comes to this ridiculous war of choice.

Just 28% of U.S. adults now approve of how Trump is handling Iran, a slight decline from 34% last month. Even Republicans appear to be increasingly unhappy with the prolonged conflict. Roughly 61% of Republicans approve of how Trump is handling Iran, an apparent decline from 71% in June.

Only about one-third of U.S. adults approve of how Trump is handling the presidency, down slightly from 37% in June. His approval tends to stay within a narrow range, but the latest number has once again fallen well below where his approval stood when he took office last year.

Most Americans say the war in Iran has not been worth fighting, and President Donald Trump’s approval rating on Iran has fallen slightly since last month, according to a new AP-NORC poll.

The results are a stark repudiation of the Republican president’s approach to the conflict, which has dragged on far longer than he originally predicted.

About two-thirds of U.S. adults say the war with Iran, which began Feb. 28, has not been worthwhile, according to the new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. That includes the vast majority of Democrats and independents, as well as about 37% of Republicans.

I totally agree I had lunch yesterday with a conservative friend, and I explained a very calmly to him that during the 20 years that Clinton, Obama and Biden were president, I had constant complaints about their leadership and I was willing to vocalize them. I asked him why are you conservatives so cowardly these days, and so willing to show absolute fealty to Trump, even if you disagree with him?

He could not answer the question, he would not answer the question, and he just gave me this look of shame.

Excellent example of the mentality of liberials.

Anybody that disagrees with a liberial is a coward and should be filled with shame!

History will reveal the extent of the corruption now endemic as a result of the orange felon and his odious 2 elder sons

Luckily democrats bring a fresh crop of DSA candidates who treat the Democratic Party the way a parasite treats a host.

- A diagnosed-bipolar Asian chick with a history of self-harm who’s been institutionalized in a psychiatric ward and overdosed on lithium, and wants to get rid of Thanksgiving.
- A guy who plays with a Dr. Fauci doll, proclaims his “love for trans kids,” and met his girlfriend at a gay bar. - A guy who dresses up as a mechanic for fun, married his cousin, and knocked her up twice.
- A guy who frequents events where participants get pissed on in a kiddie pool while wearing assless chaps, whose claim to fame is lowering the age of consent for men to have sex with boys as young as 12, decriminalizing knowingly infecting others with AIDS, and supports allowing convicted pedophiles to run for school board.
- A Haitian chick who thinks the United States is a “f*cking disgrace,” wants to abolish borders, law enforcement, and prisons.
- A Muslim guy who believes the U.S. deserved 9/11, is funded by the Muslim Brotherhood, and whose wife and father-in-law have terrorist connections.

Believe what you want. Hillary wins!!!!

Let's beak that down by voters.

50% wouldn't like anything he does, no matter, as they voted agaist him

Other 50% voted either for him, or against Harris

So reality is, about half of the voters for him, aren't too surprised at all, but still happy with there choice, of, 'anyone is better than Harris'
