It’s been literally every poll, every week, for over a year. Including every Fox poll. This guy is completely isolated and insulated from the real American public and when he isn’t lying he being lied to by court jesters and sycophants.

Norm Eisen of Democracy Defenders Fund: “Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule. Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it.”

Mitch may have been gone weeks before Elaine started posting AI selfies. Ten days before Mitch McConnell completely disappeared, he was in the Senate for nearly 20 hours and barely moved.

Laughing. In front of a cage, under a tent, in the middle of a swamp, surrounded by alligators-where they plan to hold HUMAN BEINGS whose only crime was crossing a border in search of a better life for their family.
These are the darkest of days.
If you look at this picture and feel joy, may God have mercy on your soul.
