Well I didn’t see those poll results on Faux News, the nation’s most watched news orifice, so there’s at least a 50% chance it wasn’t a complete fabrication.

It does seem there is a yuge yearning for the good old days of the 1950s before civil rights were invented and then back to the real glory days of the 1850s before labor unions, Native American owned casinos, and the emancipation of slaves.

If people are angry, it’s because our leaders and opinion fantasizers keep saying that the fix is to drown government in a bathtub, but it never happens so many, many yuge temper tantrums are required by all prematurely ejaculating patriotic American tantrum throwers!!!!!!!

Make America Grate
on the planet again and again and again!!!

There’s also the case of the record low ratings for the previous do-nothing Congress — about 10% approval if I remember right. The cure for that was to vote the Tea Party obstructionists and their invertebrate GOP colleagues out of office. They actually had a good opportunity to do just that, even given the GOP-favoring redistricting in the red states. but that didn’t happen either.

clean out the swamp thing?
If the populace REALLY percieved a swampy
mucky bunch of people in Washington they
didnt like, they would have voted them out
in the recent election.
How many incumbent senators and reps got voted out? Both parties.
Bugger all.
Change was not desired it seems. Maybe there was no swamp
to begin with.

Very different group of people.

But aside from the level of evil, they were competent and could read, so there’s that.

Either he gets his way and gets a Putin-like control over the executive, or these institutions show resilience and thwart him.

I can’t say I’d confidently predict which way it will go, especially in the light of the serious amount of shenanigans that was going on under George Bush Jnr.
I don’t know if you recall, but the large circle of very strange and dangerous people around the Bush administration was well beyond Trump’s circle of amateurs in terms of a threat to the nation. And they mostly got away with it.

They are classic examples of people with certifiable personality disorders who have floated to the top level of the swamp ecosystem.

A John Wayne movie character’s advice still rules: “Never apologize. It’s a sign of weakness.” We’re mucho macho, we are.

Michael Cohen, Trump’s lawyer
Money Laundering
Orly Taitz and birtherism
Maestro Trump’s hypnotic little hands ( Don’t look at them with the sound on! Ha ha ha…)
Trump meets in private with Russian Ambassador , Russian Foreign Minister, and RT propaganda team..
Secret Tax Returns
Statute of Limitations
Money Laundering
Russian Loans
Russian purchases of Trump real estate
Money laundering.
Trump University Fraud
Spicer hiding in the bushes
Gingrich’s wife, the one he was flingin’ with while married to previous wife, made ambassador to Vatican. (Q!: How could Trump buy Newt’s fealty? Q2: What does Newt have on Trump?)

Michael Cohen releases lingerie photo of his own daughter.

“Look! Over there! Squirrel!”

Americans have stupidly elected a seriously compromised team of thugs with no sense of decency, propriety, history, or common sense, a team with a soft underbelly exposed to Russian “tickling”. As the money laundering theme becomes more and more prominent each day the distractions thrown up by team Trump are getting more and more bizarre.

We await each day with a horrible mixture of fascination and loathing.
