    Default Trump's Approval Rating IMPLODES

    Donald Trump’s job approval rating has plummeted, tying the lowest point of his presidency, following last week’s mob attack on the U.S. Capitol.

    In a new Quinnipiac University poll released Monday, 33% of American voters said they approve how Trump is handling his job, a dramatic drop of 11 percentage points since December when 44% said they approved of his job performance. Sixty percent of voters disapprove of his job performance.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    Yeah. Four hundred thousand dead people have a lot of relatives, extended families and sympathizers.

    "60% of the poll’s respondents said Trump is undermining democracy ... Among Republican voters, 73% said Trump is protecting democracy."

    Wow, some of those Republicans must have flunked kindergarten!

    No...if Biden does not put policies in place that actually help the average American, there will be more. Some very ignorant and stupid people who are not typical Trump racists are just desperate, disenfranchised and screwed over by both corrupt corporate bought parties. I call them ignorant and stupid because they believed Trump was the answer.

    His RCP average of major polls just fell below 40% approval.

    Currently 39.4%.

    Amazing what it took to get it down there.

    Think about that then the next time you hear people argue for the educational status quo and fight against school choice and/or the complete revamping of our education system.

    'School choice' is a misnomer. It purports to be about freedom. What it is really about is defunding and kneecapping public schools so that profiteers can pocket government education money.

    It is only logical that a public service costs more if all the same expenses are encountered by a private system as a public one, except in one case somebody also has to make a profit and that profit is added to all the other expenses, creating a larger total cost for the private system.

    Charter schools are public schools that are given the freedom to be creative with content and teaching styles. If you don't like the current results of our education system, which you just stated you don't, then quit fighting to maintain our mid 20th century one size fits all top down model. You're basically saying I don't like the results but I don't want change either.
