Donald Trump's first-term average of 41.1% is the lowest approval rating Gallup has recorded for any post-World War II president. Yet here we are, shittering all records again.
No one texting you to buy your house is your friend. You want to sell? List on the open market.
Trump declassified and publicized intelligence documents arguing they showed Chinese efforts related to the 2020 election. They include intel assessments that reiterate that Russia conducted influence operations to help Trump and harm Biden in the 2020 election.
I have no interest in whatever lies and delusions this president feels compelled to peddle. And with the craptacular cabinet he's festered, I'd have little more interest in his resignation.
GOP leadership has long sacrificed institutional norms and stated principles for short-term partisan advantage. The question now is, are there still influential Republicans who see protecting democratic institutions as important enough to fight for?
Accurate, if oversimplified. Eliminating the Social Security wage cap without increasing benefits for the additional taxed earnings would eliminate two-thirds of the program's 75-year funding shortfall under current assumptions
We are currently seeing the Jevons effect in action as, far from putting all software developers out of work, AI coding is vastly increasing the applications to which code can be put, and the standards to which it is held.
Socialism is not communism, it's working together for the common good. It's literally what made this country great before the oligarchs once again convinced the ignorant to support their power grab.
If Trump were a Russian spy tasked with destroying the United States’ global hegemony, what exactly do you expect he’d do differently? Then why are you still supporting him?
This is Harley. She's never rolled down a hill before, but she's super proud of her first attempt. 13/10 nailed it (TT: jesskoselke)
Can MAGAs really not see that the daily fund raising texts the receive claiming "Dems passed bill such and such opening the gates of hell" are universally, obviously bald-faced lies, each and every one? Really?
You know what’s a greater threat to our country? Having a president so stupid he doesn’t understand the differences between socialism, communism, and fascism.
Former presidents have generally bowed out, but Donald Trump is the first POTUS so terrible, all living presidents have spoken out against him.
It should be a federal crime to code software to force on update on load -- when the user obviously is waiting to use it -- and the update could have been done in the background.
While it's true the reflecting pool has been fed from the tidal basin since the Obama era, that's treated, filtered water, saving 20 million gallons of potable city water per year. The problem is not the water, it's the paint job.
The reflective pool fiasco is not "fake news." It's about the thousandth case of incompetent, corrupt bungling that should have ended Trumps political career. www.quora.com/Why-did-Trum...
Why did Trump's renovation of the reflecting pool fail?
Answer (1 of 33): There are two primary reasons why Trump’s attempt at renovating the Washington DC Reflecting Pool was doomed to abysmal failure. First of all the company hired to do the job, Atlant...

Your neighbors--even those you disagree with over how to improve the world--are not the enemy. The enemy are those profiting by manipulating you to hate your neighbor.
Today's iPhone 14 is nearly 10,000 times faster than the 1976 Cray-1 supercomputer.
Accurate. Reposting because some of you are too young to remember the world being run by adults.
Neighbors who disagree with you about how to make the world better are not the enemy. Oligarchs manipulating you to hate your neighbors are the enemy.
Seen on Quora today is the best summary of Mr. Trump I've thus seen: "He doesn’t know what he is doing. He has got himself into a mess and has no clue how to get out. This is the story of his life. He is a hopeless, bullshitting fuck-up." And you who elected him, reflect on that.
The POTUS's economics professor has said he's the dumbest student he ever had. Here's proof:
Contrary to widespread MAGA delusion, California is far from a failed state. It's now single-handedly the fourth largest economy in the word, surpassing Japan.
I'll add, BTW, don't fall into the same trap. What's going on is bad enough. Don't swallow social media misrepresentations without checking, especially is they confirm your feelings.
