Failure parade on sadness street, to invoke Patton Oswalt.

If some other country drops a bomb on the White House with him in it (which I admit would be rare since he is probably on some golf course) and ended the offensive right there, I say we let bygones be bygones and don't retaliate.

Maybe drop a couple on Mara-lago and nearby golf courses just to be thorough.

Don't forget Trump Tower!

I find it odd that he thought attacking Iran was "face saving", like is warmongering something respectable?

Sadly, yes.

It worked really well for Dubya and Obama, and in Trump's first term. I vividly remember Fareed Zakaria gushing over Trump after he ordered the MOAB dropped on Afghanistan. Americans fucking love war.

Can we please stop being intellectually coy about our nation galloping into fascism?

It isn't helping

Weren’t we all talking about the Epstein files before all this happened?

Popularity at it's lowest? Isn't he still above 40 %? fuck off.

This honestly saddens me more than the election results. How can anyone still be in favor of him after these few months? I understand that his billionaire friends do, but billionaires don't make up 40% of the population. The only explanation is terminal stupidity, which, as the name suggests, is terminal indeed.

No, it's been getting consistently lower. It's at 41% approval, 53% disapproval. -12% is REALLY bad.

You know something is strange when the president somehow is starting out with higher disapproval than approval.

When people ask have that parties always been this divided, I think those numbers show we never had this much divide before. Before it was, well I like this candidate, but the other guy we'll see how he does before shitting on him. Then the disapproval raises throughout their term.

And than manages to win a second election and repeats the feat.

Fuckin' seriously. Wake me up when his approval rating is below 10%.
