Apparently not the first time Gallup has chickened out. And the first time happened to be during Trump I.
#America! The #1 land of the free, the fearless, the brave!!!
Too scared to poll approval ratings.

Because a tyrannical dictator would harm them in retaliation.
And the worst part is, we would let him do it. We will not stand for liberty.

I loved when it was Jasmine Crocketts turn to question her but she said she was not going to ask her any questions because she won't even answer them. And proceeded to use her 5 minutes to point out the complete failure of Pam.

If she wasn't a black woman I'd say she would be a great candidate for for 2028. America sadly still isn't ready for a female president

Question for those who complained Job Biden had a chance to release the files.

Back then DOJ operating normally and didn't take direct orders from the White House ass to who to investigate or prosecute.

Let's say that Merrick Garland immediately after the Epstein/Trump files (since he like to put his name on everything) were released in Jan 2024 began redacting victim names. Let's say that took 3-4 months. We are now into May 2024 and Merrick Garland dumps the files into the public.

What do you think would have been the reaction from the right? Election interference. They would accuse Biden/Garland of rigging the election in favor of Harris.

Add to that. If the DOJ even mentioned trumps name in the files he would have screamed election interference and all his boot lickers even James Comer and etc would have demanded a shit show

Every single trump voter owns this

I watched a few of them stupid Pam would talk about the stock market on how great it is

There was no reason to ask her any questions

But if she would interrupt her she should ask to reclaim her time

What the fuck does stock-market have to do with DOJ; oh wait Pam is probably one of those folks trading on Trump unannounced news.

Would be interesting if someone could investigate her trading history.

I especially liked when she randomly started showing pictures of illegals who had committed violent crimes. That level of deflection showed how desperate she was to change the subject from the Epstein files. I would say she's terrible at her job, but that's exactly who Trump wanted in that position. Patel and RFKJ did equally bang up jobs when grilled, so I wonder who's up next from that cabinet.

I wonder what the hearing would have been like if she didn't have her script.


“So, because I’m curious, and I’d like to see, flip to the ‘Jared Moskowitz’ section of the binder. I’m interested to see what staff provided on the ‘oppo’ on me,” Moskowitz said. “And because we’re in the Olympics, I’m gonna give it a grade.”

Trump for sure involved in this...

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.” ...

So like with the job numbers ... dont like em? Dont report em.

In El Paso news, to add to the mounting stupidity:

According to a NYT story, it wasn’t the military at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon, which was on loan from DOD, against a party balloon they thought was a drone. Hegseth and the Pentagon gave CBP cowboys an anti-aircraft weapon.

88 years sounds like the reich kind of time for it to end.

Things that happen when you give a stupid belligerent drunk the keys to the Pentagon. This is basically how you end up with an MH17 type disaster.

Kegseth was upset he wasn’t invited to the party so he shot it down

Every single trump voter owns this

Pam Bondi: - "He is the most transparent president in the nation’s history.”

"The most transparent president in the nations history" has never released his tax returns, MRI results, medical records, how his ear "grew back", his school transcripts.... his "bone spurs" diagnosis....etc etc

Funny how Q-anon disappeared once they found out the Satan worshiping pedophiles were all the Republicans they voted for. Getting caught lying about years of schmoozing with a known pedophile is just a ‘PR mistake’, and a high stock market means you also shouldn’t prosecute pedophiles. How low would the Dow need to be before MAGA thinks it’s ok to address the pedophile stuff coming from inside the house?

"This is not a game, Secretary." - Rep. Balint

"I'm Attorney General." - Bondi

"My apologies, I couldn't tell." - Rep. Balint

Lol!

Congress needs to call Merrick Garland to testify.

Nah. It's more like Hegseth was doing exactly what we shouldn't be doing: giving military equipment to people that aren't the military.

Now is a good time to read about the navy's severe shortage of T-AO ships and how damaging any of them could have considerable operational impacts.
It's a good thing the Navy doesn't have any issues building new ships with appropriate timelines. Hold I'm, someone's handing me a note...

They're even back to chartering civil tankers which is a much less than optimal solution. MSC itself is also at like half strength and the President is whipsawing naval forces across the globe on a whim. I'm sure nothing bad will happen.

Guess Trump will have to pressure other pollsters into stopping their polling. :D

A year into Trump's term, voters say Biden was better​


Three national surveys point to the same alarming trend for a president who's done everything in his power to erase his predecessor's legacy.
  • Harvard CAPS/Harris (Jan. 28–29): Mark Penn's polling firm found that 51% of registered voters say Trump is doing a worse job than Biden, compared with 49% who say he's doing better.
  • Rasmussen Reports (Feb. 2–4): The Trump-friendly pollster is fending off MAGA criticism after finding that 48% of likely voters say Biden did a better job as president, compared with 40% who chose Trump. Another 8% said the two presidents have performed "about the same."
  • YouGov/Economist (Feb. 6–9): This survey found that 46% of U.S. adults say Trump is doing a worse job than Biden, compared with 40% who say he's doing better. Another 7% said "about the same."
