meanwhile the @RealPresidentoftheUSA explains how he plans to proceed in the impeachment affair...
I would not be surprised if they mined past employment (or even clearance) records out there for their list. Which means somewhere in cyberspace every time they send one of those missives out one is trying to find my ISP, which no longer exists, until it times out. Then they send another to join it.Pretty much, yes.
I have not seen that one but it tracks with other polls. That his favourability with the military is in the toilet as compared to the past, where they traditionally skewed conservative.Now here's an interesting pollster result I am pretty sure not many Americans are aware about:
![]()
Rasmussen Reports is the only pollster which still does weekls polls an Trump's popularity. Trump uses the results quite often and prefers them, because normally the results are slightly better than of the ones from the competition.
Rasmussen also asks members of the US army for the Military Times at least once a year about how they do view Trump, and the result is a steady decline despite Trump inflated the military budget a lot. The dislike of Trump within the military is bigger than the one for Obama, so that's one thing where Trump topped Obama. Missing in the diagram is the neutral point of view, which is the rest.
The higher the ranks, the more dislike for Trump is there. Also males are much more in favor for him than females or other ethnics.
The reasons why Trump's reputation is on such a big steady decline are:
- 58% disagree with Trump's decision to leave Syria and the Kurds alone.
- 59% are against taking money out of the military budget to build the wall at the Mexican border (very surprising).
- The resignation of Mattis as the secretary of defense as reaction to Trump's decisions alienated quite many people as well, because Mattis was quite popular.
Quoting my earlier post to put this in context:"Globalist" is a bad word to his supporters, likely to him, too. Also a code word/abbreviation for "Jewish conspiracy for world domination and replacement of white people" among his white supremacist buddies, and his base.
So they likely wouldn't listen to an explanation of globalism any more than they would an explanation of socialism.
Also, the self-described proud nationalists won't see that they should care what the world thinks, and probably won't even when it bites them in the ass.
That would be because, while the budget is bigger, it really doesn't go to the soldiers, or even officers; it goes to the people making weapons. Its basically the money to buy better toys, not to cover wages, or vets, or anything like that.Now here's an interesting pollster result I am pretty sure not many Americans are aware about:

The military is getting a notable pay increase of 3.1% in 2020, which is paid for as part of the defense spending bill. So, yeah, some of the budget increase is going into servicemembers' paychecks. What's interesting is that Trump is trying to claim this is the biggest military pay increase in "more than ten years". While it's true that it's the largest increase in the past several years which have seen increases of just over 1%, his claim is false. In 2010, the military received a 3.4% pay increase, and in 2009, the pay increase was 3.9%.That would be because, while the budget is bigger, it really doesn't go to the soldiers, or even officers; it goes to the people making weapons.

As I said he is a master of trolling, I hope one day he will overstep a savety line and missjugde his backup.
Whether or not Trump is removed from office, we're already too far gone. The fact that someone so unfit for the presidency was elected and has hung on for so long... our system is broken.I begin to consider the US a lost cause. I'd gladly be proven wrong wrong here but IMHO It is too late to to stop it's fall from grace. Trump can and will get away with everything.
Can people stop saying we have to defend him because of his job title now?
So, I woke up just now. Has Trump died of a stroke yet?

We can only hope.So, I woke up just now. Has Trump died of a stroke yet?
Better not. While it would be convenient they would want to hang Nancy for high treason if he died heartbroken from the impeachment blues.So, I woke up just now. Has Trump died of a stroke yet?
I hate to say it, but you're not wrong. Trump is a very overt symptom of a deep-seated and growing societal problem in the US, and it (the problem) won't be going away any time soon.As I said he is a master of trolling, I hope one day he will overstep a savety line and missjugde his backup.

Well, odds are it will lead to another civil war ...I hate to say it, but you're not wrong. Trump is a very overt symptom of a deep-seated and growing societal problem in the US, and it (the problem) won't be going away any time soon.
