It's true, attention must be paid. But it's like watching a train wreck - you can't look, and you can't look away. In fact, it's worse - in this case the derailed train is heading right for us. I'm truly sick and tired of watching our world implode, but also can't bear not to know what's happening. BTW, a couple nights ago my spouse had to drag me from a screaming nightmare I was having about trump trying to kill me. This is what trump is doing to us.
That's a daily dose of a lot of shit. Between the very costly tariffs and the daily brutality of ICE, these are the most frightening times that many of us have ever experienced. Just read that asshole FBI Director, Kash Patel had a county judge arrested in Milwaukee for an immigration related issue. Now these fascist fucks are going after judges for doing their jobs. Hopefully this doesn't end well for Patel and higher courts will not bow down to bullying.
Seeing that face without make-up makes me want to ask a pointless, empty question while evading all the real shit we're facing right now - anyway, who buys the orange make-up? Why orange? Was it Melania's way of getting back at him for some adultery mess or some other crap shit in their marriage -- "Oh, Donny, this is the best make-up - it will make you look so beautiful, just like all those tanned Floridian bikini starlets you hang out with." Good one, Melania.
Sure there is: Abrego Garcia isn't free, Ron Dumbass got caught whooshing money around from a settlement into Tacky O's charity and out to PACS. (Embezzling?) Trump won't give disaster money to Arkansas despite his still-loyal ex press secretary now-Governor begging. Republicans are getting their asses handed to them in town halls.
The crimson tide is washing back over the red states. Two of our poorest, West Virginia and Arkansas, are being told to fuck off about disaster relief funds from FEMA. That's under DHS Secretary Noem, the stupid bitch who got her $4,000 Gucci bag containing $3,000 cash and other goodies snatched from under her chair at a hamburger joint.
Who carries $3000 in cash in their wallet? Did she just receive a bribe, or was she about to pay off someone? And since she also lost her passport in the theft, was she about to leave the country?
I've never owned a bag even remotely close to the cost of hers, but have a friend who likes to shell out for them. She taught me that it is "absolute sacrilegious to put a Gucci on the floor! That screams trash!" Seems to track for noem.
Jeff still hasn't mentioned the two 100 foot stripper poles, I mean flagpoles, he wants to put on the White House grounds. I guess one is for Melania and the other for Laura Loonytoon. Jimmy Kimmel said the other night he's fixated on flagpoles because he can't get an erection.
I know Ms. Spouse is disappointed in your life choices here, but please assure her you are doing the Lord's Work keeping tens of thousands of us off of high bridges. That's got to count for something.
Thanks for doing it anyway, Jeff. I'd like to add to your long laundry list of attributes for Felon 47: TOOL. He's being used by everyone around him, and every dictator on the planet. His regime KNOWS he is a mentally incompetent grifter who is developing an irreversible dementia, but they know how to get him to issue EOs and put his signature on whatever they need him to sign. IncompeDon is a TOOL. He should never have been elected, he should be removed using the 25th Amendment, but that is what he is. A TOOL.
Very back of the room of the very huge sanctuary in St. Peter's Basilica where no one can see them and he gets mad and embarrasses us again with his heckling. Maybe he'll take Majorie T Green along to fight his way through the crowd - heard she had protestors at her town hall tased, along with her guard goons breaking one person's wrist.
I’ve had my daily dose of Jeff and am ready to meet the day. Thanks for always clarifying what a monumental shit show we are in and what a collection of grifters, criminals, skeevy couch fuckers, and dick-tater wannabes, hell-bent on running this great country into the ground.
Ed, I start my day like this, everyday. As an unemployed trans woman (who by the way was fired for being a trans woman -- which I couldnt do shit about because I live in a red fuckwad state -- and my severance package was more important than my right to sue), I wake up to the reality that this shit just SUCKS....HUGELY......so, I promise you, that you arent alone.
Is it just me or does even 44% sound way too fucking high for how he has screwed over not only the whole country but the world (excluding Russia, of course)? All the stupid, ignorant, vindictive, senseless shit he's pulled. He should be at single digits, FCS
So much of the focus for the shitshow has been on Musk. It has diverted attention away from the true instigator, DJT. He's definitely not getting all the credit he deserves. Having Musk for a fall guy could be the reason he's not in single digits.
The phrase "should be" died a dishonorable death in 2016. It carries with it completely unsupportable prior assumptions, like for the motivations of citizens who support Trump. Every rational explanation that's been tried has failed. It's beginning to look more like the Dancing Plague of 1518 than any kind of rational politics.
Those fools who voted for him believed his promise that prices would come down on Day 1. These delusional dolts should have known that he lies constantly and can’t be trusted to do anything positive for the American people or for Ukraine. His solution to end the war is for Ukraine to cede Crimea to Russia.
While waiting in the ferry line yesterday, spouse talked to someone who brought up Trump with saying he was doing okay. Ferry was delayed, so he had fun telling her all the crap she's not hearing about from where ever she gets her info from. She went through almost the full stages of grief although couldn't quite make it to acceptance! She said she would have to look it all up first. He gave her options on other news sources. If we all can do that with one person who's walking the line, maybe we'll get Trump down close to single digits! He said the fact she listened was a good sign.
Good for your husband. He performed a headoutofassectomy. She wasn't so hardcore that she refused to listen. He may have saved her from the MAGA rabbit hole
Yes, he's a very good teacher in real life who knows how to get students to question and challenge what they're being told. I was surprised he was okay with talking to the woman as he's been pretty angry with Trump voters in general lately. She wasn't one of the defiant ones. He always puts things in terms of questions, saying, "now, let me ask you this" and then giving examples of what or why he is asking.
It sure does seem strange. Not sure if I have this right, but I think this is only 1 point lower than his lowest. Why isn’t it down to 30, reflecting only his most immovable base?
Unfortunately, while he’s clowning his way through an international debacle, he’s simultaneously killing science, health and higher education. We won’t recover from this.
My scientist husband is going to have to retire early. He does not want to do this, so I keep trying to plan our lives around when my husband will retire, and it is like he does not know if he will retire 6 months earlier than planned or not.
Meanwhile I am grateful to Jeff Tiedrich for keeping me hopeful that Ukraine can survive because Zelensky is the only sane and smart one who is dealing. I also appreciate Martin Belderson for his Substack Ukraine: The Underreported War, because he actually talks about their successes and not just how Russia got over on them. Why because they are fighting smarter, and are developing the best drones. His latest piece shows a time lapse of fires from battles in Ukraine over the past 3 years. You can see illustrated how Russia's firepower is declining with a Bonus satellite of the Severity of Fighting in Ukraine.
A senior Russian general was blown up in a car bombing this morning 3 miles from Moscow just as Trump's envoy was arriving. So it appears Ukraine is still at the negotiating table.
Ukraine is doing so much better than most reporting shows it as being. In fact, it has the advantage that its negotiators are both smart and sane, whereas that cannot be said for the other 2 parties/countries involved.
That is great news, also tramp begged Putin to just take Crimea and stop everything else especially Kyiv bombings, what a fool! Ukraine is ripping Russkies and I mean unpopular Putie and economic damage what country is there left?
Once his aggressive virgins get full access to our taxpayers' and citizens' data and copy it out of the established protections, he'll skedaddle. He stands to make HUGE money from selling and renting our data.
Attention! Attention! International Criminal Court! Donald J. Trump is landing in Italy for the pope’s funeral. He is guilty of human rights violations. Please do your job!
Stay tuned. Jack Smith has been working in The Hague since he left DC, and I heard that Venezuela has filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC). The US does not recognize the ICC, but El Salvador, Italy, and Venezuela do and since Shitler contracted with El Salvadore to traffic in humans he is subsequently ensnared in this mess. Wake the fuck up Karma!!!
I'm hoping that Shitler is arrested while he's in Italy and his fugly ass is on a plane to The Hague to stand trial. Because Shitler invoked the Alien Enemies Act, which is used during wartime, he has catapulted himself into war crimes territory. Recall, when he was asked what the "J" in his name stood for, he said "Jenius."
Can you just imagine the policia waiting for him on the tarmac as he's exiting the plane and arresting him? Wind blowing his tattered shreds of "hair", anus mouth poised in screaming profanities, Melania not making eye contact, handcuffs being snapped on, ok I gotta stop, I'm getting too excited.
I don't care what anybody says, including the random dude on another site who told me not to believe any polls. I'm encouraged by the polls. I take hope where I find it.
Not only is it Fox News, but I believe other pollsters are finding the same sorts of information. I just keep hearing that he has the lowest ratings of any president in their first 100 days. I also think we should look at his last 100 days poll ratings of Trump 1.0, wonder which are lower.
It’s like the old butcher shop- the guy behind the counter would put his thumb on scale. Fox polls prob have been “sweetened” - maybe his approval rate
I think the other pollsters found Trump was doing even worse than the Fox pollster's numbers. Given that if Trump was at 20% approval it would still mean one-fifth of the country is seriously messed up, it does appear that Trump can't gaslight everyone.
I think you and many others miss an important point about Trump's unique genius. For example, he is anxious to let Putin simply have everything he wants because Trump knows as soon as Hitler took Poland, that's all he wanted and the world was at peace again.
Trump subscribes to the Reagan, rugged individual, I did this on my own, American frame. When Trump bought casinos or started other businesses, eventually the only one left at the bankrupt business was the criminal-elect himself. Alone. Perhaps scarred, but riding off into the sunset (leaving a wake of unpaid union and non-union workers behind).
Reagan told us how bad government was. "I'm with the government and I'm here to help" was one of the hilarious frames created by the co-star to Bonzo, Reagan was arguably the worst President of the 20th Century. Reagan demonstrated just how bad government could be by shifting the cost of higher education to students and their families, weakening labor unions, and shifting wealth from the middle class to his wealthy donors and friends.
And people seem to be hyper-critical of Pete "Warfighter" Hegseth. Criticize if you wish, however I (along with many of our Foreign adversaries) appreciate the new DoD transparency. While it may endanger some pilots and frontline military personnel -they are so unimportant they don't even have their own Make Up studio like Pete has.
People are confused about the trade war and don't seem to think the criminal-elect knows what he's doing. He has the element of surprise here. No one knows what he'll do next. And global markets and economies are reacting to his every word. He says "tariff" and the market drops 1,000 points. He says "no tariff" and the market skyrockets 1,000 points. It's a good thing people like Pam "Bribe Me" Barbie Bondi are paying attention and making sure no one is profiting from those extreme market swings.
The world was at peace again once Hitler caused his Fatherland to be bombed to shit, millions of his master race obliterated, and he capped himself in the head like the cowardly piece of shit that he was.
Some British war planners were *this* close to ordering carpet bombings of all German cities with INCENDIARIES, as the Nazis were in retreat. Firestorms for the entire country. Reduce the entire country to a layer of talcum-powder-fine ash a foot thick. Kill as many Germans as humanly possible. The Yanks stopped them, but there was actually an argument about it.
He worked hard to destroy the schools, especially higher education, and it wasn't until we (!) were able to create a commission to have fair election districts that we (!) took back California. Gerrymandering is a terrible thing, but fair districting really works. The republicans are still complaining, but I keep my fingers crossed. Education is the reason California is the fifth largest economy in the world, and I hope that somehow we can fix lower education.
You know, we all joke--"He's crazy, he's stupid, he's got dementia"--but you read that and it's actually true. I hope, like you, someone in the media would jump on that.
Jeff, I respectfully disagree with your assessment of tfg’s “hair” as resembling a dead badger. Badgers are actually rather handsome animals, with striking black and white pelts. The substance on Trump’s head, in contrast, has been dyed so many times that the stuff on top looks like a nest of fiberglass insulation fibers. Badgers are far cuter in every way. Also, they are not psychopaths.
People keep crowing about Trump's declining poll numbers, but they're still in the high 30s and low/mid 40s. In a democratic country with a reasonably sane, informed electorate, they would be in single digits (and he wouldn't have been elected in the first place). We've got a serious problem here. It didn't begin with Trump, and it's not going away when he does.
Susanna, Completely agree. The most terrifying piece are the men and women who voted for rapists knowing they are rapists. Trump: Over 20 women came forward about sexual assault. There's the Jeffrey Epstein friendship that included sex with minors. Don't kid yourselves - birds of a feather. Trump probably raped teenage girls along with Epstein and won't release the evidence and Epstein is dead because he knew too much. Finally, in a court of law, the jury found Trump guilty of rape - the E. Jean trial. Moving on to Hegseth, he raped a fellow republican married woman who made her way to getting a rape kit the next day. His mother even said Pete hates women until they muzzled her and she recanted. These two monsters who have brutalized women all their adult lives were put in the highest positions of power, beating highly intelligent women for the job of POTUS. THAT is depressing. The fact that you look right and left and someone in your line of sight doesn't give two shits about women's safety or status in society. Fifty percent of the population is second class and who cares, right? Just vote for the orange monster they said. I want cheap eggs. Men are smarter than women. Breaks my heart our country is filled with people who acted on their beliefs with all of this knowledge. Sickening.
The abusive dysfunction that has been escalating for decades has come fully out of the woodwork with Felon47. We can't change what we don't see clearly & face. I hope this drives long overdue social change.
Do we understand why he wants peace? He’s still salivating over Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize… the Nobel committee also takes into consideration how you live so he won’t get diddly…. They hate him.
I have despised Trump since he became a public figure way back in the 80's. I have always known how completely full of shit he is. But, in his first term I would at least try to understand where he was coming from and what the impact of his actions could be. But, now, my gut reaction when he says anything is to assume he is lying and/or has no clue what he is talking about. And, given his polling, it appears that more people are catching on. The hard core MAGA crowd will never leave him. But we don't need those knuckle draggers to take back the country. What we do need is more leadership from the Dems. Time for them to toss their consultant driven messaging and aggressively oppose this clown, and everything he stands for, every damn day.
Ms. Spouse: "I'm just so tired of reading about Trump."
me: "there's nothing else to write about"
I agree with Ms. Spouse, but I’ll read your Substack always anyway.
Trump has earned attention. He is triple GOAT.
Greatest Clown in world history.
Greatest Con Man in world history
Greatest Jerk Off in world history.
Attention must be paid.
!!!! AAAAUUGGGGHHHH !!!!
And he is really good at shitting his pants. Don't forget that quality
As well as shitting on our country.
🎯!
💯🎯💙✌🏻
BLOAT - Biggest Liar Of All Time.
Perfect 👌
Right on per usual Kathleen!!
Greatest LOSER
It's true, attention must be paid. But it's like watching a train wreck - you can't look, and you can't look away. In fact, it's worse - in this case the derailed train is heading right for us. I'm truly sick and tired of watching our world implode, but also can't bear not to know what's happening. BTW, a couple nights ago my spouse had to drag me from a screaming nightmare I was having about trump trying to kill me. This is what trump is doing to us.
So sorry to hear about that nightmare, Bonnie.
For ten ... fucking ... endless ... years. Narcissists gonna narcissist.
I'll hand this to him: he is the Iron Man of daily, soul crushing misery.
When our country is swirling down the toilet bowl, you write about Orange Shit.
That's a daily dose of a lot of shit. Between the very costly tariffs and the daily brutality of ICE, these are the most frightening times that many of us have ever experienced. Just read that asshole FBI Director, Kash Patel had a county judge arrested in Milwaukee for an immigration related issue. Now these fascist fucks are going after judges for doing their jobs. Hopefully this doesn't end well for Patel and higher courts will not bow down to bullying.
I’m not frightened. I’m ANGRY.
I think it’s a better use of my emotional energy.
I’ve noticed when I’m frightened, my decisions tend to suck.
You have to let the anger get cold so you can think rationally rather than emotionally. Too much emotion gets in the way.
I'm both but refusing to throw in the towel.
Staring too hard at that swirling Orange Shit makes me want to add some green vomit.
Seeing that face without make-up makes me want to ask a pointless, empty question while evading all the real shit we're facing right now - anyway, who buys the orange make-up? Why orange? Was it Melania's way of getting back at him for some adultery mess or some other crap shit in their marriage -- "Oh, Donny, this is the best make-up - it will make you look so beautiful, just like all those tanned Floridian bikini starlets you hang out with." Good one, Melania.
For god sakes check your liver!
Smile provoking day again Kay-EI, thanks!!
Appropriate!
I'm not convinced that french fries and a Bombay martini are not a good idea at 04:18 on a Saturday morning.
Sure there is: Abrego Garcia isn't free, Ron Dumbass got caught whooshing money around from a settlement into Tacky O's charity and out to PACS. (Embezzling?) Trump won't give disaster money to Arkansas despite his still-loyal ex press secretary now-Governor begging. Republicans are getting their asses handed to them in town halls.
The crimson tide is washing back over the red states. Two of our poorest, West Virginia and Arkansas, are being told to fuck off about disaster relief funds from FEMA. That's under DHS Secretary Noem, the stupid bitch who got her $4,000 Gucci bag containing $3,000 cash and other goodies snatched from under her chair at a hamburger joint.
How does a public servant afford a $4k handbag and $50k watch?
By not serving the public?
Also just like United Health Care making expected profits of 425 billion in 2025 - by withholding care.
Ugh, trying to keep my blood pressure under control is becoming very difficult.....
The best friend of AARP. Irony is having a fire sale.
Susan's rhetorical question speaks for me, too! As does Cyndi's.
How indeed?
“Gifts” not reported?
I think you mean “Grifts”.
PLUS $3 grand in cash in her purse
Who carries $3000 in cash in their wallet? Did she just receive a bribe, or was she about to pay off someone? And since she also lost her passport in the theft, was she about to leave the country?
What woman would put her bag on the floor ? No matter how much it cost ! Gross !
I've never owned a bag even remotely close to the cost of hers, but have a friend who likes to shell out for them. She taught me that it is "absolute sacrilegious to put a Gucci on the floor! That screams trash!" Seems to track for noem.
She claimed it was between her feet! I won't speculate more.
Purse on the floor, always poor
They all 'know' it's Joe Biden's fault. How he 'ruined FEMA' to 'make Dumpty look bad' 3 months later. Anyone can 'see' that, right?
🙄
Jeff still hasn't mentioned the two 100 foot stripper poles, I mean flagpoles, he wants to put on the White House grounds. I guess one is for Melania and the other for Laura Loonytoon. Jimmy Kimmel said the other night he's fixated on flagpoles because he can't get an erection.
Absent an erection, he won an election. So there's that.
By a "landslide" of 1.5%. Goddamn it.
This, is a good start Susan!!
I start my day with Wordle, Connections, Heather Cox Richardson, and Jeff Tiedrich. Then I’m done, except for the “breaking news” headlines.
Strands and Spelling Bee, too
Add Waffle to your list of games
added!
Jessica, add Strands. That is the BEST!!!
I'm starting mine with Jeff's Substack, a Bombay Sapphire martini and french fries.
I know Ms. Spouse is disappointed in your life choices here, but please assure her you are doing the Lord's Work keeping tens of thousands of us off of high bridges. That's got to count for something.
Thanks for doing it anyway, Jeff. I'd like to add to your long laundry list of attributes for Felon 47: TOOL. He's being used by everyone around him, and every dictator on the planet. His regime KNOWS he is a mentally incompetent grifter who is developing an irreversible dementia, but they know how to get him to issue EOs and put his signature on whatever they need him to sign. IncompeDon is a TOOL. He should never have been elected, he should be removed using the 25th Amendment, but that is what he is. A TOOL.
As for his replacement Stranger, aside from being tool himself, he’s equally a heart and soulless, odious cretin!!
He’s very tiresome but that’s the point. He’s trying to bore us into submission. You won’t let him!!
Tell Mrs S that when he's dead you can stop writing about him.
Speaking of dead… is this clown supposed to go to the Popes funeral?
If he does, can maybe they seat him & his
whore in the janitors closet?
Very back of the room of the very huge sanctuary in St. Peter's Basilica where no one can see them and he gets mad and embarrasses us again with his heckling. Maybe he'll take Majorie T Green along to fight his way through the crowd - heard she had protestors at her town hall tased, along with her guard goons breaking one person's wrist.
Satan should not be allowed to go to the funeral .
Fingers crossed. I will miss the colorful invective, but there will still be plenty of individuals who deserve similar commentary.
There was a time when treasonous tyrants were met with an early exit to this world. When, is the question that remains unanswered Abigail!!
Tell Mrs. Spouse that we are all tired of him, but we have to kee up the fight. She's not alone!
1366 days to go until the inauguration of the next President. There are going to be so many things to ridicule over the next 1366 days.
I hope Mrs. Spouse isn’t threatening to unsubscribe. 🤣 She’ll be missing a lot of good shit.
I'm so tired of there BEING a Trump. But until he's gone (one way or another) that's about all we can even think about.
Because every story, from climate change to the Ukraine war to Immigration, somehow leads back to the Oranguturd.
😞
I’ve had my daily dose of Jeff and am ready to meet the day. Thanks for always clarifying what a monumental shit show we are in and what a collection of grifters, criminals, skeevy couch fuckers, and dick-tater wannabes, hell-bent on running this great country into the ground.

He should be in prison awaiting trial for, among other things, TREASON.
So much of the focus for the shitshow has been on Musk. It has diverted attention away from the true instigator, DJT. He's definitely not getting all the credit he deserves. Having Musk for a fall guy could be the reason he's not in single digits.
CreakyKnees You make a good point!
It's not just you.

The Socratic Method
Every time I see the polls, I think the exact same thing. Who the fuck are these 44% or 42%?
Yep. He doesn't snap to the fact that Mr. Fox Pollster is doing him favors, since all the MAGAs feel sorry for His Orangeness.
He's seriously running for martyrdom. Or sainthood. Either one, magas are all in.
It sure does seem strange. Not sure if I have this right, but I think this is only 1 point lower than his lowest. Why isn’t it down to 30, reflecting only his most immovable base?
Unfortunately, while he’s clowning his way through an international debacle, he’s simultaneously killing science, health and higher education. We won’t recover from this.
It's only been 100 days? It feels like a million. This must be what Hell feels like.
We are indeed living in hell right now
It hasn't been 100 days yet. April 30 will mark the hundredth day.

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
A senior Russian general was blown up in a car bombing this morning 3 miles from Moscow just as Trump's envoy was arriving. So it appears Ukraine is still at the negotiating table.
Ukraine is doing so much better than most reporting shows it as being. In fact, it has the advantage that its negotiators are both smart and sane, whereas that cannot be said for the other 2 parties/countries involved.
Slavi Ukraini!🇺🇦
Slava Ukraini!
Heroyam slava!
Sweet. Yippee Ki Yay, Motherfuckers. I wonder if Trump's envoy is feeling a little queasy at the moment.
That is great news, also tramp begged Putin to just take Crimea and stop everything else especially Kyiv bombings, what a fool! Ukraine is ripping Russkies and I mean unpopular Putie and economic damage what country is there left?
With help from Leon the other president. Tesla stock is in the toilet, so maybe he’ll get the hell out of our government now and stop destroying it.
Once his aggressive virgins get full access to our taxpayers' and citizens' data and copy it out of the established protections, he'll skedaddle. He stands to make HUGE money from selling and renting our data.
I'm sure they'll also have other plans for it with all of us supposedly able to be scrutinized and sanitized.
And he and his oligarchs are robbing us blind as they divert our attention. It is all so immoral.
Attention! Attention! International Criminal Court! Donald J. Trump is landing in Italy for the pope’s funeral. He is guilty of human rights violations. Please do your job!
Stay tuned. Jack Smith has been working in The Hague since he left DC, and I heard that Venezuela has filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC). The US does not recognize the ICC, but El Salvador, Italy, and Venezuela do and since Shitler contracted with El Salvadore to traffic in humans he is subsequently ensnared in this mess. Wake the fuck up Karma!!!
I was wondering what Jack Smith was doing since he left. Hopefully he’s diligently working!
Hope they can do to Trump what they did to Bush - cannot leave the country as would be subject to arrest for war crimes. Schadenfreude.
I'm hoping that Shitler is arrested while he's in Italy and his fugly ass is on a plane to The Hague to stand trial. Because Shitler invoked the Alien Enemies Act, which is used during wartime, he has catapulted himself into war crimes territory. Recall, when he was asked what the "J" in his name stood for, he said "Jenius."
Wonder if Secret Service on alien soil would try to prevent the arrest?
Can you just imagine the policia waiting for him on the tarmac as he's exiting the plane and arresting him? Wind blowing his tattered shreds of "hair", anus mouth poised in screaming profanities, Melania not making eye contact, handcuffs being snapped on, ok I gotta stop, I'm getting too excited.
I wish
Alas, the opportunity has been tragically lost. I’m crushed.
Is “Vladimir STOP” Melania’s safe phrase?
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
I don't care what anybody says, including the random dude on another site who told me not to believe any polls. I'm encouraged by the polls. I take hope where I find it.

Rick Wilson has a good run-down of the polls. Ipsos, Pew, Reuters - Trump is in the toilet in all of them.
I like that metaphor Ann. Let us flush him down, and out into the sea, along with Elon Musk.
The Sea of Tranquility on the Moon.

It’s like the old butcher shop- the guy behind the counter would put his thumb on scale. Fox polls prob have been “sweetened” - maybe his approval rate
was 41% - and they just boosted it up a
couple of points????
I think the other pollsters found Trump was doing even worse than the Fox pollster's numbers. Given that if Trump was at 20% approval it would still mean one-fifth of the country is seriously messed up, it does appear that Trump can't gaslight everyone.
Nancy, a friend of mine was saying the same today. She was saying that she cannot believe his rating is more than 4% at best.
It was only one point higher @ 45% for Trump’s first 100 days of his first term.
Thank you Jeff -
I think you and many others miss an important point about Trump's unique genius. For example, he is anxious to let Putin simply have everything he wants because Trump knows as soon as Hitler took Poland, that's all he wanted and the world was at peace again.
Trump subscribes to the Reagan, rugged individual, I did this on my own, American frame. When Trump bought casinos or started other businesses, eventually the only one left at the bankrupt business was the criminal-elect himself. Alone. Perhaps scarred, but riding off into the sunset (leaving a wake of unpaid union and non-union workers behind).
Reagan told us how bad government was. "I'm with the government and I'm here to help" was one of the hilarious frames created by the co-star to Bonzo, Reagan was arguably the worst President of the 20th Century. Reagan demonstrated just how bad government could be by shifting the cost of higher education to students and their families, weakening labor unions, and shifting wealth from the middle class to his wealthy donors and friends.
And people seem to be hyper-critical of Pete "Warfighter" Hegseth. Criticize if you wish, however I (along with many of our Foreign adversaries) appreciate the new DoD transparency. While it may endanger some pilots and frontline military personnel -they are so unimportant they don't even have their own Make Up studio like Pete has.
People are confused about the trade war and don't seem to think the criminal-elect knows what he's doing. He has the element of surprise here. No one knows what he'll do next. And global markets and economies are reacting to his every word. He says "tariff" and the market drops 1,000 points. He says "no tariff" and the market skyrockets 1,000 points. It's a good thing people like Pam "Bribe Me" Barbie Bondi are paying attention and making sure no one is profiting from those extreme market swings.
Yours in service.
The world was at peace again once Hitler caused his Fatherland to be bombed to shit, millions of his master race obliterated, and he capped himself in the head like the cowardly piece of shit that he was.
Some British war planners were *this* close to ordering carpet bombings of all German cities with INCENDIARIES, as the Nazis were in retreat. Firestorms for the entire country. Reduce the entire country to a layer of talcum-powder-fine ash a foot thick. Kill as many Germans as humanly possible. The Yanks stopped them, but there was actually an argument about it.
After the London Blitz, Churchill took the gloves off.
You nailed every one. And those guys on the Right LOVE St. Ronnie. The "cowboy" who ignored AIDS and was certifiable during his second term.
Nancy was the first female president.
Reagan was no blessing to California either.
He closed the psychiatric hospitals, put people out on the streets, it was the beginning of Californias homeless crisis.
It was the beginning of everybody's homeless crisis.
That, mixed with the veterans after the war (April 30 coming up!) The ACLU is not very helpful either.
Very true. He worked to destroy California before taking the show national and, Iran/Contra -global.
He put the “PoS” into POTUS.
He worked hard to destroy the schools, especially higher education, and it wasn't until we (!) were able to create a commission to have fair election districts that we (!) took back California. Gerrymandering is a terrible thing, but fair districting really works. The republicans are still complaining, but I keep my fingers crossed. Education is the reason California is the fifth largest economy in the world, and I hope that somehow we can fix lower education.
Update: California is now the 4th largest economy in the world.
The Time magazine interview with trump is so unhinged I have had to take several breaks while reading it to go lay myself on the floor.
Sure wish the fucking media would call it unhinged.
You know, we all joke--"He's crazy, he's stupid, he's got dementia"--but you read that and it's actually true. I hope, like you, someone in the media would jump on that.
Sanewashing is, to put it mildly, not in America's best interest
Does TIME matter anymore?
I haven't seen it in forever--my parents used to get it in the '80s. But it's a good interview.
Jeff, I respectfully disagree with your assessment of tfg’s “hair” as resembling a dead badger. Badgers are actually rather handsome animals, with striking black and white pelts. The substance on Trump’s head, in contrast, has been dyed so many times that the stuff on top looks like a nest of fiberglass insulation fibers. Badgers are far cuter in every way. Also, they are not psychopaths.
Honey badger DOESN'T CARE ! 😉
They're fucking nasty-ass!!
😂
Rachel Maddow read the results from all the polls and Trump is underwater in all of them!
It appears that he has maybe only his MAGAt base left which is about 35%.
People keep crowing about Trump's declining poll numbers, but they're still in the high 30s and low/mid 40s. In a democratic country with a reasonably sane, informed electorate, they would be in single digits (and he wouldn't have been elected in the first place). We've got a serious problem here. It didn't begin with Trump, and it's not going away when he does.
The past few years have taught us that the U.S. has a large uneducated population ripe to follow the likes of a con man. Truly a sad situation.
Why he's nuking the Department of Education, and going after institutes of higher learning.
Susanna, Completely agree. The most terrifying piece are the men and women who voted for rapists knowing they are rapists. Trump: Over 20 women came forward about sexual assault. There's the Jeffrey Epstein friendship that included sex with minors. Don't kid yourselves - birds of a feather. Trump probably raped teenage girls along with Epstein and won't release the evidence and Epstein is dead because he knew too much. Finally, in a court of law, the jury found Trump guilty of rape - the E. Jean trial. Moving on to Hegseth, he raped a fellow republican married woman who made her way to getting a rape kit the next day. His mother even said Pete hates women until they muzzled her and she recanted. These two monsters who have brutalized women all their adult lives were put in the highest positions of power, beating highly intelligent women for the job of POTUS. THAT is depressing. The fact that you look right and left and someone in your line of sight doesn't give two shits about women's safety or status in society. Fifty percent of the population is second class and who cares, right? Just vote for the orange monster they said. I want cheap eggs. Men are smarter than women. Breaks my heart our country is filled with people who acted on their beliefs with all of this knowledge. Sickening.
The abusive dysfunction that has been escalating for decades has come fully out of the woodwork with Felon47. We can't change what we don't see clearly & face. I hope this drives long overdue social change.
💯💯💯
Do we understand why he wants peace? He’s still salivating over Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize… the Nobel committee also takes into consideration how you live so he won’t get diddly…. They hate him.
Shitler as a lot of catching up to do to best Obama's Nobel, Oscar, Emmy, and two Grammys. He is not fit to breathe the same air as Obama.
He'll get the Ignoble Piss Prize.
I have despised Trump since he became a public figure way back in the 80's. I have always known how completely full of shit he is. But, in his first term I would at least try to understand where he was coming from and what the impact of his actions could be. But, now, my gut reaction when he says anything is to assume he is lying and/or has no clue what he is talking about. And, given his polling, it appears that more people are catching on. The hard core MAGA crowd will never leave him. But we don't need those knuckle draggers to take back the country. What we do need is more leadership from the Dems. Time for them to toss their consultant driven messaging and aggressively oppose this clown, and everything he stands for, every damn day.
I expect the resistance to stiffen even more now that things are moving in the right direction.
Last week I saw a dismal bumper sticker that said, “Due to budget cuts, the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off.”
Well maybe Doge was forced to turn the light back on this week!
Using the word ‘whom’ correctly in a sentence is disqualifying for the position of 🦊 Fake Pollster sir - DENIED
