2 people that were indicted for stuff that happened under Obama/Mueller/Holder/Lynch/Comey while working with the DNC and Podesta brothers in the Ukraine. Did you get that? Nothing to do with Trump at all and EVERYTHING to do with the people I mentioned. The 2 guilty pleas were for low level "lying" which is a process crime. Flynn didn't even do anything illegal that he was accused of lying about. Comey was going to let him go because he felt it wasn't a lie, it was just not clear. Mueller decided to charge him for basically nothing just to keep the dog and pony show alive for the peanut gallery.

You're so obsessed. You probably check his poll numbers several times a day. I don't know why you even worry since you live in the People's Republic of California. Tell Jerry Brown to raise your taxes if it makes you feel better.

He can stay at 35% for the entire 8 years he's President and I still would think he's doing a great job.

Thanks god that last loser we had in office is now history.

Gallup Daily: Trump Job Approval

The Trump tax cut is unpopular because most Americans instinctively know it's fiscally irresponsible to borrow $2 Tril from the future to fund tax cuts that mostly benefit those who already have plenty of money.
Where is the actual pol/?

What was their methodology.

I have fond MOST poll LESS repubs then dem and ind and their "results" reflect it.

Even in November his approval was 46%-

No Joke: Pelosi Says GOP Tax Bill Is Worse Than Slavery
Pelosi’s argument, in her own words, is that passing the largest tax cut in nearly 30 years is worse than the government supporting slavery more than 100 years ago.

FYI...
The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, arguably the worst measure ever approved — and a major cause of the Civil War — was passed by the U.S. Congress on Sept.18, 1850. Among other deplorable items, it required American citizens to assist in the capture of escaped slaves, even if they were living in free states. Naturally, the Democrat Party was behind it.

Ah, another right-winger who's unaware of the Southern Strategy, which moved bigotry over from the Democrats to the Republicans:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy
"In American politics, the southern strategy was a Republican Party electoral strategy to increase political support among white voters in the South by appealing to racism against African Americans.[1][2][3] As the Civil Rights Movement and dismantling of Jim Crow laws in the 1950s and 1960s visibly deepened existing racial tensions in much of the Southern United States, Republican politicians such as presidential candidate Richard Nixon and Senator Barry Goldwater developed strategies that successfully contributed to the political realignment of many white, conservative voters in the South that had traditionally supported the Democratic Party to the Republican Party.[4] It also helped push the Republican Party much more to the right.[4]"
So, that's why the deep south, former Confederate states, suddenly flipped parties. It's not because they had a change of heart and now love blacks and other minorities, lol.

Poor libs they are so desperate for Trump to fail. For me, this is going to be the best Christmas in 8 years. I'm going to celebrate the birth of Christ and the death of Obama's anti-American agenda.

It depends on how you frame it. If tax cuts mean more debt and cuts to essential public services/infrastructure, than no thank you, I'm good.

But the economic elite don't have to worry when they don't depend on the public system, when they can afford private schools, private security, private planes, etc etc. they have no moral connection to the average American, they only judge things based on their bank accounts and social status in their immediate circles.

Yes you win with crumbs for tax cuts but you’ll get higher healthcare premium and higher state taxes. The corporations get massive tax rollback but so are our foreign competitors so the tax decrease will not improve our competitiveness, just more cash to the already cash flushed corporations who will give huge bonuses to their ceos. Att workers get a one time 1000 bonus which after tax is only 800. That’s how easy it is to buy off poor and stupid trump cultists.
