Commentators keep expecting Trump’s approval to fall to George W. Bush lows, a thing which is absolutely never going to happen for the same reason it will never reach GWB highs. Sorry guys, this is how cults work, we aren’t gonna sway everybody

alternatively, trump's at 41% approval — that's pretty "sour" right?

In his interview w @jonfavs.bsky.social, @ezraklein.bsky.social asks, "why haven't the tariffs soured the public on Trump?"

An answer from my book on ACA opinions: the contemporary US economy is so diverse & complex that even sizable policy changes don't move opinions consistently.

So like this is funnier and more offensive than anything anyone else said about Kirk that got them fired

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

This is the sort of thing Hunter Biden would say, but also Hunter Biden is completely unhinged and outside those few days on here where he made fun of PSA everybody gets that, and Eric is a top five 2028 candidate along with three of his siblings

Mike Rothschild @rothschildmd.bsky.social · 1d

If Hunter Biden went on MSNBC and said Joe Biden was "saving God," the head of every pundit and influencer in right wing media would simultaneously explode. Half of Manhattan would be covered in Fox News head debris.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

I wish they would just change the names but the Braves Tomahawk logo and the Chiefs arrowhead ones, while morally bad, look fine. I have to be honest here!

John Fleming @johnjf125.bsky.social · 1d

The most overrated logo in sports history are the racist ones because people want to pretend they look good when they look like shit almost across the board. Chief Wahoo looks like shit! That pre-tomahawk Braves logo sucked!

Justin Striebel @jstriebel.com · 1d

I really can’t say often enough how not actually good the Brewers logo is.

Probably the most overrated logo in sports history.

The first one is awful but it had a bunch of famous people so I can’t begrudge them for trying, but somebody should have learned the lesson

If you exist in the world, even if you are in the reddest part of the country, you can understand that a lot of people sincerely fucking hate Donald Trump.
