In our September poll, 52% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents disapprove of Trump's handling of prices. That could be dragging down Republican Senate candidates in red states

"What is becoming increasingly clear is that the administration does not see itself as a litigant before the court and does not see its attorneys as bound by court orders. It sees DOJ attorneys as somehow coequal with SCOTUS, the only attorneys in the federal system not bound by ethical rules."

So many people seem to think that if Trump ordered a nuclear strike, officers would refuse to obey the order. And that would just be the end, they said no, it's thwarted. When really he would just say "Then you're fired" until he found someone willing to do it. They can't actually stop a POTUS.

Trump SEPT 30: I'm not running for office. Trump SEPT 9: “So I’m asking you to pretend that I’m on the ballot. I’m on the ballot. I’m on the ballot.” Trump is actively campaigning for Republicans in the midterms. Federal appropriations were used for prohibited publicity or partisan propaganda.

I'm sorry, but there's nothing mysterious about economic sentiment being so negative. That's what happens when ten years worth of inflation hits all at once. People stay mad about it for years and years. Why wouldn't they? Why would the inflation going back to normal instantly wipe away the shock?

I actually think they get more airtime than Pro Republicans. This is why MAGA, and REAL Patriots, will never like Fox! They repeat a completely negative narrative, on and on it goes, and then we get a quick retort. It’s truly amazing that I won all three Elections. The opposition is enormous, but the fight goes on!

Not just impeachable. Impeachment, both pres. and agency heads, is the only option. It's impeachment or nothing. Courts won't stop it. Other tools are impotent. Put them on trial the only way you can. Even if you can't get 2/3, use process as punishment. Make it miserable and costly. It can be done.
