Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years​

The Gallup Presidential Approval Rating has for decades been the among the top barometers cited by media outlets measuring public opinion of the president’s performance...

Trump’s Gallup approval rating as of last December was among the lowest the organization had found since it began taking the poll in the 1930s.

When asked by The Hill if Gallup had received any feedback from the White House or anyone in the current administration before making the decision, the spokesperson said, “this is a strategic shift solely based on Gallup’s research goals and priorities.” ...

Can't have bad approval if you don't measure it.

Yeah…no…someone high up in their org did some naughty things and is being blackmailed by our justice department. “You make our problem go away, and we’ll make your problem go away”.

Kind of like some of the first law firms that capitulated, where one executive or head was recently outed as being in the Epstein files in a bad way.

This is how low MAGA has reduced America to. Father kills his own daughter arguing about Trump and a grand jury fails to indict.

During the argument, Littler alleged, Harrison asked her father how he would feel if she were the victim of sexual assault. He testified that her father responded by saying he had two other daughters who lived with him and that it would not upset him that much, according to the outlet.

MAGAts are just the lowest for of scum on the earth.

Files were under seal due to the Maxwell appeal and released Jan 2024

Maxwell's appeal was still active until fall '25 when SCOTUS declined to hear it. Nothing could legally have been done with any of the records until at least then.

IOW, there's no way that any of it could have been released under the previous admins. It's a non-sensical talking point to suggest otherwise.

If there is one thing the "Party of personal responsibility" is consistent at it is absolutely never taking responsibility for their actions or lack of action. It's just deflect, deflect, deflect.

Just watched half an hour of Pam Bondi being asked questions at the hearing. I'd never seen more than a small clip of her here and there. Boy she's a a C word. She didn't answer a single question, all she did was raise her voice a lot, talk over the rep even when after being told to shut the fuck up. And of course accused every Democrat of having TDS. For someone who's a lawyer she sure doesn't seem to know shit about how hearings go.

I mean such a hearing loses all meaning if she plain out refuses to answer ... shouldnt that be contempt or something?

Jamie Raskin laid down the rules from the beginning. If she started to gish gallup on sucking up to Trump, the clock for their time stops. So, if you really watched long enough they were much more able to get their points across and blondie, I mean Bondi, almost looked she was going to cry at some points. It was a wonderful hearing.

Raskin was good. The woman who had the victims stand up and raise hands was good and she did try to talk back to Bondi, just should have kept pressing and call her a liar, etc.. Lieu had a little moment there too. Short but good. You could see he was almost gonna have a conniption from getting even a little riled up.

The Dems were better than they have been in a long time, but still have a bunch of places to get better, as I've said. I do think they should have kept more of their time for back and forths with Bondi because like you said, she looked like she was ready to implode. They somewhat had her on the ropes and she looked frazzled just like you said, but could have had a knockout or at least a few more big haymakers, if they used their time more to call her out in a back and forth. She was ready to blow lol

Let's see their next move. They need to have a big assed press conference and be fucking firm.

My guess:

1. The Pentagon was testing some new laser-based anti drone weapon
2. The Pentagon did not inform Sean Duffy or the FAA via the proper channels or set up the test in a “competent” manner
3. Duffy blew his top (already mad at the Pentagon over the DCA heli crash) and overreacted
4. Duffy did not implement the TFR in a competent manner
5. Everyone and their mama (concerned citizens, press, Gov. Abbott, state/Congressional legislators and Senators, local authorities) called The White House and asked “WTF ARE YOU DOING???”
6. Trump told Duffy/Hegseth et al to TACO.
7. TFR was lifted.

In short, this Administration is not competent and we’d be fools to trust them to keep our skies safe.

8. It was a weather balloon.!!!

By definition they have to be competent. Almost all staffed by white guys.

Among other things the video shows how not only was Epstein able to leverage his connections to have an investigation against him dropped by having the US prosecutor going after him removed in the mid 2000s, it lead to the sweat heart deal for weekends in jail over human trafficking in 2008. One of his fixers claimed he was important to national security on behalf of Isreal (among others) and his importance could not be brought to light.

This is Jeffrey Epstein.
