How does this benefit Russia?

(hint: it doesn’t)

Neither does supporting the interim Venezuelan President but that’s another thread

as is pretty much everything the Trump admin has done concerning Russia

but yeah Trump won’t turn over his notes from his meeting with Putin so there’s the smoking gun

I agree - if Trump is a Russian proxy, how come he keeps doing all these things that go contrary to Russia's best interests? Is he a Russian proxy, but just really bad at it that he ends up doing the opposite that Russia wants just out of sheer incompetence?
Well, nobody finds that hard to believe....

The thing that keeps bubbling back to the surface is how a media-savvy image-conscious guy like trump can be so obsequious and deferential to Putin in front of cameras with literally the whole world watching. Vladimir bitches him in public the same way he kept bitching Christie in public, making him walk behind and telling him where to stand and he knows it and grovelingly goes along with it, completely out of character. I think that when he is no longer useful and Vladimir is done with him we're going to find out that he and Jeffery Epstein had the same taste in girls. :nod:

My daughter's tax liability went way up because of the 2017 tax reform law. That's because it eliminated personal exemptions and she's got four kids. So she, as someone with a household income somewhere in the 50 to 60 thousand range, got to personally experience being significantly hurt by the new tax law.

I considered giving this its own thread for its awesomeness

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBKzPy4 ... e=youtu.be

It is from this week's Carnivale DiReggio and one of the most brilliant caricatures ever

You see this, libs? This is how to be critical without being exhausting drama queens. Allegory.

Something seems screwy. Income taxes are probably up but the increased child tax credits should offset that.

Trump hits 52% approval in Rasmussen Daily Tracking, highest approval rate of his presidency...

But what about the shutdown hurting his poll numbers narrative?

:suspicious: During the shutdown his poll numbers were down and it hurt. That was the narrative.

But it was conducted after a STOU, which usually gives the POTUS a bump in numbers.

The margin of error is +/- 2.5% -keep that in mind.

Also it's 1 of many polls. The only reason you're excited about this one is that it supports your perspective. :twocents:

Rasmussen is the only one that's positive for him. What's that say about the poll?

Lol.

There's only a difference of 11 to 23 point difference in net approval between Rasmussen and the other polls from February.

Keep referencing your favorite outlier if it makes you feel better.

I'm curious as to who is rating him and on what.

Yeah, Rasmussen is a serious joke. I used to quote it to support Trump, but I had my finger crossed behind my back when I did. I knew it was a shit poll. Drudge knows it too, but that doesn't stop him from headlining it weekly.
