    Interestingly, Trump’s floor has always been 30% so this is actually pissing off his own die-hards.

      Yep, that Epstein has clued in even some real dumb bastards.

      I’m not sure they learned the actual lessons but it appears at least some of them were genuinely anti-forever-war.

    You mean if we USE our Constitutional Powers to STOP this WAR then the MAJORITY of Americans, in an ELECTION year, will LOVE us? Let’s NOT do That!

    -Congress!

    Finally, some decent poll numbers. But, what sort of mental gymnastics did the 21% perform to continue the “No new wars” President?

    Oh, wait, that’s not why the supported him in the first place. I get it. It was probably that thing they’re always pointing at with a flat open hand, and extended arm.

      Iran has been pretty consistent in their “Fuck the USA” messaging for a long time. I’m actually surprised its that low given how many of them supported his stances on Greenland and Canada.

      21% of people would support cutting off their own toes. Poll numbers don’t get much lower in practice.

        You can get 30% of the population to agree to literally anything which just goes to show they’re being lazy bastards about this

    I might support it if they went ahead and took out all the religious leaders. Yes, that one too.
