I guess Trump's constant whining about "witch hunts" isn't helping.
Why does an un-elected partisan sniper have an "approval rating" in a democracy? You'd think he was elected or something. This dynamic is poison for our democracy.

I think you spell poison for our democracy as T-R-U-M-P.

Was disappointed to see the July number at under 50%. I'm glad the majority of Americans are finally getting a clue and being more supportive of Robert Mueller. He is an admirable, dedicated and ethical person who has had an impressive career.

No, Trump was elected.

His position as POTUS is the definition of democracy. Your view that an elected President is "poison" for democracy is virulently antidemocratic.

However, giving an un-elected partisan sniper, Mueller, an "approval rating", which is meant to imply an increase in justified political power in the minds of voters who see the rating, is dangerously antidemocratic.

Your post is content free and close to trolling.

This president is most definitely poison for our democracy. And don't even get me started on what I think he has done to our democracy.

Still waiting for you to post anything with actual content and not simple unsupported assertions that are equivalent to trolling the thread. Start with countering my rebuttal. Betcha can't.

Please start telling me. It'll be the first thing that you've said that has any content whatsoever.

The guy who lost the popular vote. In a straight up in democracy would that happen?

Partisan? He's a republican and a conservative with an impeccable character.

You see conspiracies where there aren't any.

Sorry, that's not the country that we live in. Thus you have an invalid point. If you want to be an American, then a representational democracy is the system that you are obligated to. Is for very good reasons that still apply today. And its what we have. Period.

ROFL. He let two innocent men die in jail in Massachusetts. His "impeccable" Dudley Do-Right framing by liberals is a politically interested and fantastical (false) caricature.

Moreover, sorry, we aren't playing the "lets forget the past two years" game and ignoring when so called Republicans were apoplectically against Trump in the election season. Mueller is surrounded by democrats and is an anti-Trump establishment Neocon like the rest of the people around him. Ply your disegenuous perspectives somewhere else. There is nothing "conservative" about the Neocons that have their roots in the Leninist New York Intellectuals group.

Are you sure that you are up for this conversation? Because in addition to not knowing what type of democracy that we have, and falsely believing in some Mueller ethical fairy now, you're introducing concepts that don't apply to the conversation.

No one is touching on any conspiracies, genius. What the conversation was about was the appropriateness of assigning an approval rating to an un-elected partisan appointee.

Yeah, its not. You still haven't typed a single thing and I'm not clicking on your zero explanation Washington Post link, assuming that it isn't behind a paywall. You are an ultra lazy forum participant, in my observation. Explain your own perspectives or don't pretend like you are participating and are making any points whatsoever that qualify as more than trolling.
