Today, in the nonsensical Rasmussen Trump approval ratings daily report based on 3 days of talking to 500 each day, we see that after 10 consecutive positive approvals, including the last two at 4 each day, he has somehow managed to sink to -7! (That's not a factorial!)

President Trump Job Approval   Rasmussen Reports   Approve 46, Disapprove 53   Disapprove +7

Figure that the only real change is in the 500 polled Wednesday (+1) vs. today (-7). That's a pretty big swing for one day to another!

But it's Rasmussen, so what do you expect.

Or as Kid would say, "Look at the trend!"

Rasmussen carefully sifts for persons with bipolar disorder.

Thank goodness for all their weighting factors!

So, if you're looking to recruit people into a Far Right ideology, it's good to look for those with mental illness or retardation.  Sounds about right.

Avi Asher-Schapiro, of Thomson Reuters Foundation: “Perhaps the most instructive thing re: Trump taxes is the $75K deduction for haircuts. It really illustrates how easy it is for rich people to manipulate their tax burden, & pay less than us. Trump’s haircuts are a business expense […] but not my entire rent when I work from home.”

Walker's civil suit also raises the possibility that Mattingly was wounded by friendly fire from one of the other officers.




It was a 9-millimeter bullet taken from Mattingly's leg

All most ofthe cops had 40-millimeters - and Walker and at least one cop a NINE.

FIFY, like the Kentucky DA “fixed” the outcome of the grand jury, delaying justice and ending his political career.

Yes

Quite interesting

-11 is actually the number that alarms me (strong approve vs disapprove)

Last 5 dates it was 0, -2, -4, -1, -2

None of it should disturb you. They make it up as they go along. This is true whether it is pro-Trump or anti-Trump.

Conversely, if you think it's bad today, just imagine how bad it will be after today gets added and Thursday gets subracted, when Thursday was good enough to make it go from +1 to +4!!

If it does anything but get worse, you will have even further evidence for you to ignore of how bogus their numbers are in 2020.

In an open letter, 70 former officials, including governors, senators, national security advisers, military generals and ambassadors from the Trump, George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, Reagan, Nixon and Ford administrations, lauded the president for pursuing a "strong foreign and national security policy in America's interests

“Some White colonizers ‘adopted’ Black children. They ‘civilized’ these ‘savage’ children in the ‘superior’ ways of White people, while using them as props in their lifelong pictures of denial, while cutting the biological parents of these children out of the picture of humanity,” Kendi wrote Saturday.

There’s this guy who paid more than 50 times what he paid in federal taxes this last decade to keep his mistresses silent. We know exactly what he did with his mistresses.

Trump’s underwriters own trump. Trump’s underwriters all report to Vladimir Putin.

Trump intentionally unleashed the virus on America that is killing thousands of Americans each week while doing nothing about the record number of jobs he has destroyed.

Trump, America’s biggest loser, did none of his duty as a tax payer and now does even less as commander in chief.

He needs to be taken out of office so he can focus on facing the music when his bills come due in two years and he is really over a barrel.
