Some good news. Hopefully, #Trump will piss off everyone (except for the #Oligarchs). And we all know how fragile T's ego is.
Warning signs for Trump in new polling
Two new polls show the president’s approval rating is slipping.
By Jessica Piper
02/20/2025
"Donald Trump’s honeymoon may be wearing off.
"New polls show a majority of Americans say he has overstepped his presidential authority — and hasn’t done enough to address high prices.
"One reason for the erosion of support: a slight majority of respondents in both surveys said Trump has overstepped his presidential power in his attempts to reshape the federal government driven by tech billionaire Elon Musk. Many of Trump’s most controversial early initiatives, including a sweeping spending freeze, have been blocked in court thus far, but the new administration has still made waves with layoffs of federal workers, cuts to federal contracts and a flood of executive orders.
"Those activities haven’t been popular, the new polling found. In the Post survey, for example, 58 percent of respondents opposed laying off large numbers of federal workers. And Musk, Trump’s most high-profile adviser, is not getting good marks either: Just 34 percent of respondents in the Post poll approved of Musk’s role in the federal government, while 54 percent of respondents in the CNN poll said it was bad for Trump to have given the SpaceX CEO a prominent role in his administration.
"Americans also remain skeptical of Trump’s handling of an issue the public has long said is among the most important: high prices. In the CNN survey, 62 percent of respondents — including 47 percent of Republicans — said the president has not done enough to try to reduce the prices of everyday goods."

“The Empire Self-Destructs”
by Chris Hedges in The Chris Hedges Report on Substack
“We share the pathologies of all dying empires with their mixture of buffoonery, rampant corruption, military fiascos, economic collapse and savage state repression”

Re: tariffs, trade wars, and insane rapist degenerates who think they're kings...
The rest of the world probably knows this, but for our #USAnian friends, the single most offensive thing about President Felon's actions in violating our trade agreements with the USA -- trade agreements which *he* signed -- is this little addition:
> An official told the newspaper that these tariffs contained a retaliation
> clause that would ratchet up American tariffs if Mexico, Canada or China
> tried to place their own tariffs on US goods in response.
"We're going to violate our signed trade agreement, which has the force of law in both our countries, and you're just going to sit there and take it. You can't retaliate in kind or we'll get mad."
*That* is the American "exceptionalism" that the rest of the world hates. The sheer hubris that leads anyone to expect that edict to just be obeyed because We're American is the reason for the world's contempt.
Individual Americans can be, and frequently are, lovely people. But something happens in the aggregate that makes you absolutely insufferable at times. This is one of those times.
If you listen closely, you can sometimes hear The Fates whispering “Fuck around and find out” every time someone asks, “What’s the worst that could happen?”

YES! A thousand times yes!
But he won't. He thinks he's smarter than everyone. It can't be HIS fault. He's the smartest guy in every room. It must be someone else's fault.
He'll be the GM until he dies, or he's drooling on his own diaper and Stephen takes it to court, whichever comes first.

Though the #ChiefJustice often favors consensus, he did not take the opening. As the court split 6 to 3, #conservatives vs #liberals, Justice #Sotomayor started work on a 5-alarm dissent warning of #danger to #democracy.
In his writings on the #immunity case, #JohnRoberts seemed confident that his arguments would soar above #politics, persuade the public, & stand the test of time. [#hubris]
Every reporter in the room should just get up and walk out of his next news conference as soon as he starts speaking.
