98%? I thought we were probably closer to 67%.

"There will be disagreements to resolve and more compromise to be forged ... But this is a deal the American people can be proud of.”

militias were using the facilities to launch unmanned aerial vehicle attacks against U.S. troops in Iraq.

I'd like to know what kind of drones militias have access to.

You know what I think is a really great way to protect those troops from possible attacks? Them not being there in the first place for them to get attacked.

Anyone else think Trump got mad seeing this?

I am sure he has figured a way to take credit for it already.

It was not directed at a specific member. I just see a trend rising

Hopefully this passes the @Supafly test.

What politics should look like:
https://thehill.com/homenews/admini...santis-set-aside-politics-in-tragedy-response
President Biden: “I mean, just the simple act of everybody doing whatever needs to be done and it really makes a difference, Gov.”

Governor DeSantis: “And you’ve recognized the severity of this tragedy from day one. And you've been very supportive.”

 

[Theopolis Q. Hossenffer]

Sadly I find I cannot believe anything DeSantis says. No matter how much I want to.

Biden at 50% - still higher than his predecessor.

I miss that confident used car salesman smile Joe Biden used to be able to put on his face.

Fuuny thing is that Biden’s current 48.5% approval exceeds his predecessor’s approval rating by - roughly - a dozen points at the same 216 days into their presidencies. Biden even leads Clinton at the same point.

Do you think his approval rating will bounce back and improve in the next month? If this board of pornography were polled I'm sure his rating would be exceptional.

In 30 days, unlikely. I still approve of his job, but optically it is a rough patch for him.

He is being hurt by two issues gifted to him:
- Afghanistan - he followed through on Trump’s agreement.
- COVID - heavily Republican states are seeing surges of the virus. Republicans are still fighting against COVID measures.

Biden will own parts of these messes very shortly. Keep in mind Trump railed against Obama for his entire 4 years. Biden is only two-thirds of a year through.

The most logical question for me: what would be different with Trump there? We may still be in Afghanistan pouring blood and resources into an unwinnable position. A position no one would care about yet because it would not be on TV. Recall Trump touted his great deal with the Taliban.

On COVID it would not be any better - or any different actually. In fact, it may have been worse.
