G Elliott Morris@gelliottmorris.com · yesterdayOur average of polls at FiftyPlusOne gives Trump a roughly 36% approval rating and 61% disapproval rating — a net -25 — among all adults, and he’s rapidly losing ground.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoSen. John Kennedy on Trump's blatant reflecting pool lies: "The president says it was caused by vandals. I don't know if he really believes that or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud ... he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."
What's important to note is that while 20% of votes are needed to trigger a no confidence vote, at least a simple majority (maybe more?) is needed to oust him. At this stage, it looks like UEFA + CONCACAF are all onboard. That's not enough and it's not clear where others stand.

Just spitting ideas out there, but we could annex Minnesota as the 11th province, and Trump may just shrug his shoulders.
Lindsay Beyerstein@beyerstein.bsky.social · 5d agoThis is a crisis of federalism. Tim Walz is asserting as fact that Iran attacked water infrastructure in Minnesota and several other states. And Trump is saying it's Minnesota's own fault they were attacked as part of a war he started.

A liberal alignment is slightly more likely than a conservative alignment, but a college education can absolutely make people become more conservative.

Hey hey hey. I at least have standards. I promise I won't butcher any Americans, up to the minute they militarily invade us. After that, their members of the military are fair game.

I particularly like how he’s had the AI portray Canada as pristine wilderness and his country as a denuded wasteland of terrible urbanism, crowded sprawl, deprived housing, absent privacy and roads that literally go nowhere

An example of the problem here. George doesn't care about what this means to Canadians, or even the nature of the relationship between the two countries. If he didn't think it impacted any US industry, it probably wouldn't have registered at all to him.
I don't think there's any apology or anything good enough they can make up for this, they are clearly a hostile force against us, and we have to prepare accordingly.
