President Trump: Making America Great Again...

[frank ryan]

I think they are funny. Especially when a second term is unlikely.

Hilarious, it’s lol when the POTUS jokes about being a dictator. He’s such a kidder. He’s got a decent chance at reelection. It’ll be close again. Who knows if he will concede if he lost tho.

If I remember right, Rasmussen predicted a Romney victory and Republicans were hanging their hats on it going into election night when all the others correctly predicted Obama would win.

Yes. I think Rasmussen himself predicted a Romney victory because all the other polls were wrong and needed to be "unskewed."

Rasmussen is one of the LEAST accurate pollers.

Didn't Rasmussen do the best in predicting that Drumpf was going to win in 2016? Rasmussen and Frank were right.

In any case, how is this one?

President Trump's job approval rating reaches high mark in NPR/PBS/Marist poll after racist tweets
[...]
In fact, his approval rating among registered voters nationally reached a new high at 44% in an NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll released Monday.

Does that one suck too?

Correct. Rasmussen tends to run a little higher for the Republican candidate.

Marist gets an A rating from 538:

Note that they found that Trump's approval was 6 points lower than Rasmussen did (not an insignificant difference). Trends are more important in approval rating polls than actual numbers, and it looks like Trump is trending up. Rasmussen is still a bad poller, based on the totality of the evidence.

I remember Glenn Beck making the conspiracy theory that Obama planned on running for a third and fourth term and that he and his followers wouldn’t concede. It is hilarious.

This concerned me, especially with it coming from the GOP.

“I am here to*day to tell you that, as we use en*cryp*tion to im*prove cy*ber*se*cu*rity, we must en*sure that we re*tain so*ci*ety’s abil*ity to gain law*ful ac*cess to data and com*mu*ni-ca*tions when needed to re*spond to crim*i*nal ac*tiv*ity,” Mr. Barr said. “While we should not hes*i*tate to de*ploy en*cryp*tion to pro*tect our*selves from cy*ber*crim*i*nals, this should not be done in a way that evis*cer-ates so*ci*ety’s abil*ity to de*fend it*self against all these other types of crim*i*nals.”

Given the fact the Patriot exists and is supported by both parties, I wouldn’t trust the govt that they’d keep it to lawful access.

So many of these folks asking Mueller questions are grandstanding with blinders on.

This should be much more concerning than Trump's idiotic (and yes racist) tweets:

He's just kidding/not serious/couldn't get away with it anyway/who cares/actually it would be great if this is true....blah,blah,blah. -- I think that's the general republican response to this.

the democrats are mostly just reading from the report and asking yes/no questions.

The republicans are mostly giving speech-like questions.

The Democrats want him to confirms that he would've charged Trump for obstruction if her were allowed, rather than allude to it. The republicans want to prop up the persecution of Trump theory.

Mueller desparately wants to remain tight-lipped and not moved beyond what's exactly in his report.

More or less, although they're eagerness to overstate and draw conclusions is evident.

I haven't read Mueller's report, and I'm not a lawyer, but some of the quotes from it are very damning. If they're accurate and in context, and they appear to be, I think Trump should be impeached.

I think Mueller comes across as well-qualified and reasonable; as exactly the sort of person to entrust with such a difficult task.

One thing that is funny is whenever the Republicans appear to get frustrated when he won't comment beyond the report, which is exactly what the Republican attorney general very clearly demanded from him in that letter that just came out when it said he is not allowed to say anything that isn't in the report or comment on any aspect of the investigation, etc. LOL.

He's no partisan. He's serious and well-qualfied for sure.
