Sometimes I fear Trump will be the presidential nominee for 2024... and might win these elections!
Yes. But it is not lower than Trump's.
Yet another record set by Trump, lowest approval ratings in history - I'm certain, anyway, I'd be shocked if there's another President lower than where he is now.
With the rumored Democrats that are supposedly on the ballot I think it’s safe to say he will win again
Very interesting!!
Not particularly, I earn too much money for that ;-) but because it seemed such a strange remark I reacted to it. As I said, it's like the pope turning protestant.
Mind you though free healthcare and education are not anti-capitalist in the slightest. For a good capitalist knows to have your company running properly you need both your employees and customers to be healthy. And if they're well educated your R&D will be far more profiteable while your smart salespeople end up better then the competition. It's one of the reasons so many European countries (especially Germany) are so much more competitive then the US. But the fear of socialism is so big all logical progressive thinking is thrown out the window (note here that neither healthcare nor education is completely for free in Germany, but with compulsory health insurance and cheap governmental educational loans it does come close to it).
Your wage inequality is indeed staggering and rather stupid: the strongest (most wealthy) have the lowest taxes. So it's extremely hard to fulfill your 'American dream' but very easy to stay rich. Reminds me most of the middle ages tbh.
But all that doesn't even come close to a socialist system, where everything is run by the state. I know Bernie said he was a socialist, but he doesn't have a clue what socialism is about. I'm very happy I'm not living in one of those countries, but I'm also very happy I don't live in the US. That's the other extreme to me.
Yes.
At this stage, yes. Pretty sure GWB had approval ratings down in the low 30's or upper 20's in 2007/2008.

I'm fine with it so long as when another classroom of kids gets blown away the title is amended to say '15 kids shot dead, God did nothing to stop it.'
Wow. Didn't see that one coming. Once I saw the title change, I figured you'd have a comment.
I guess all those thoughts and prayers must finally be paying off.
What I find funny about that clip is how even him deadpanning and saying he's pro gun gets a laugh from the audience. Him saying that over here is a joke in itself while if this was in the US the audience they would assume he was being serious at first. Just shows how different the cultures are, to countries like mine it really is just impossible to understand.
Finally showing some balls about something...way overdue.
All well and good Donald threatening Kim with fire and fury. What is our spineless government going to do? A strongly worded letter to the Times? A leafleting campaign? 3p duty on a bottle of vodka?
Teresa and her band of clowns are being mugged off on a daily basis by the likes of Juncker and Tusk. How are they going to fare when they get in the ring with a heavyweight who genuinely doesn't give a solitary f**k?
That's my concern as well...Russia is an entirely different ball game.
Whilst it's obviously a story, nobody died and non of the Brexit issues have gone away. It just gives her a few days breathing space.
That's why I said "at least in talks". She might not do much more. But that's better than what I'd expected already.
Especially if Kobach and Sessions get their way and start suppressing the vote.
There is a lot of Russian money in London, and some of Putin's closest friends would be far from happy at this being disrupted. Digging into this money, freezing assets where necessary; immediate support for the Magnitsky Act, and a possible cyber response (apparently hinted at by Amber Rudd yesterday) are all options on the table.
There has to be some response, however inadequate it might seem. I'm not sure the Jeremy Corbyn idea of having a nice cosy chat will quite cut the mustard this time out.
Will any of this make a blind bit of difference to Putin personally? Possibly not, but a line has to be drawn somewhere, however faint its outline.

And slowly the deadline ticks down towards midnight and the world awaits Teresa's wrath unleashed....
