The Gallup polls always had trump bouncing up and down between like 35% and 50% over the years, but early in his first term is almost identical to this one. I don't really trust polling in general anyway, but I guess there's not much else to go off at this point. He did get booed pretty hard at the Superbowl

Trump and his policies are significantly more popular now than they were in 2017

Why do you say this? Things seem about the same to me.

Kinda surprised none of the Dems voted for this guy, not even Fetterman or that one CIA lady from Michigan

It's like they want someone to get their next CEO too

Hey remember that time we killed a bunch of people by blowing up their pagers? Hold on to this pager for me...

this is just so he can replace them with loyalists

defying legal limits

I feel like there's a word for this they could have used

This is pretty much the point. Congress will initially approve the fund, but then it is basically up to the Trump admin to do whatever with it. I imagine there will be some infrastructure explanation similar to what the Biden admin planned to do. Likely the way the bill will be written will give them a lot of flexibility on how they spend the money.

Even if Dems take Congress during midterms, Trump could still have access to a large budget this way

I basically always dress like I'm about to go hiking, so fashion isn't really a thing for me, but Carhartt makes ripstop cargo pants that I like a lot. They're usually about $60 new, but sometimes I find them in thrift stores (never in my size). Anyway, they're super durable and loose enough for me to work/hike in them and they don't give me a lot of sensory issues. They don't do the swishing sound a lot of cheaper options do. The fabric is breathable enough for the mild summers where I live and I wear a base layer underneath during the winter.

Cargo pockets are nearly a requirement for me. I can fit a lot of snacks, gloves, etc. All the buttons (snaps on the pockets) and zippers are well made, reinforced pockets to clip your knife or a tool, gusseted crotch.

I've had one pair for about 3 years now and they are a little worn/faded in spots, but no holes yet. Since then I've bought a few more pairs. The only negatives are you can't really wear them for office settings in some places (Pacific Northwest doesn't seem to care) and I think the pants make me look more like a cop

I think he's been married a few times

One time my partner offered to drive this older lady who lived nearby to do some errands. Turns out her errands were basically going to a bunch of retail stores to complain at them about the silliest things, like how she let her store credit card expire or something like that. Shit they can't even really do anything about in the store. Partner didn't even know because they just sat in the car at first, but went inside and one of the workers explained the old lady does it a lot.

Sad, but also fuck her for manipulating my partner into helping her harass retail workers

Kasparian pretended to be a progressive for a long time before taking the mask off, I imagine she has a lot of haters. I didn't know who she was, but read about her just now and she used to work for Jacobin, The Young Turks, etc. Now she's praising Greg Abbott and doing interviews with Glenn Beck.

She's a really good example of a scratched liberal
