I'm not saying their humanity is illegal, but if they are not here legally, then they are here illegally.That's easy. There are zero people here with "illegal status".

That wasn’t your qualification. It was merely he is getting “things accomplished”Right Trump is doing the same things as those guys..
Or just his policies that are grossly inconsistent with fiscal conservative policies.Teddy Roosevelt was brash, he's an American hero. I don't think it's the brashness. I think it's the narcissism.
You have to remember, things are pretty good in America, and just like Obama and Bush and other presidents, people do support their president.I know it's still low, but the fact that his polling went up at all indicates a distressing thing to me: that even beyond his base ( who never abandoned him even at his lowest numbers) there is a percentage of the American public for whom there is nothing beyond the pale.
No. They simply don't have proper documents. They are not here illegally.I'm not saying their humanity is illegal, but if they are not here legally, then they are here illegally.
Meh. Tim can crank that out over a long weekend.Matthias said:Yeah. There's over 100 people producing over 3,000 pages of posts, just to troll you. And not that it's your perspective that's screwed up.
Congrats. You've figured us out.
Uhhhhhh...No. They simply don't have proper documents. They are not here illegally.
Also, the incompetence, recklessness, and lack of humanityTeddy Roosevelt was brash, he's an American hero. I don't think it's the brashness. I think it's the narcissism.
You need to work on your troll game. Very weak my friend.Did Weebs really just post that Don is "brash?"
Please don't tap the glassDid Weebs really just post that Don is "brash?"
Obama was at 56% when he left office. Just to give you an idea of how desperate Trump supporters are right now. They're jumping up and down because he's at 42%.Don is up to 42% and Trump thumpers are ecstatic. What is the threshhold for "widely beloved?" 45%? 55%?
Trump is going to be at 90% when he leaves office. Why? Cause he is leaving and not going to return. Hell, the world will be happy for that day too.Obama was at 56% when he left office.

Fine, be picky.Also, the incompetence, recklessness, and lack of humanity
He was known as the Tomi Lahren of his day.Did you know that James Madison was only 5'4" and 100 lbs?
I'm not a "liberal" or a democrat. I didn't vote for Hillary or Trump. I just pay attention to more than bad cable news and talk radio.Odd. I feel the same way when 90 percent of the left posts in here.
I don't get this either. Nothing even close to what anybody has considered good has happened in the last 2 weeks.Interesting. I genuinely wonder what caused this, given that the economy is (at least hopefully for only a short time) no longer booming. Couple that with the elicit affairs (I mean, that had to lose some religious people), the uneventful budget signing, etc. and I'm not identifying some specific positive that has happened recently. Is there a statistically proven lag in these polls?
Polls are unreliable?I don't get this either. Nothing even close to what anybody has considered good has happened in the last 2 weeks.
No way! Those 2016 Election polls were spot on!Polls are unreliable?
Oh, good. Let's all talk about what polls mean again.No way! Those 2016 Election polls were spot on!
Things have calmed down. Trump's current news scandals are largely personal, and people really don't care much about those. Nobody's threatening to nuke the West coast, Trump is mostly just blustering on twitter and not screaming bloody murder, and really no one cares that he had sex with a porn star. People only marginally care about whether his lawyer broke campaign finance laws to pay her off.Interesting.

Not yet. When are they planning to meet with Kim Jong-Un again?Things have calmed down. Trump's current news scandals are largely personal, and people really don't care much about those.

Right. I just find it strange to think these facts as you've accurately stated would cause approval to go up. I would think they'd simply stay where they were.Things have calmed down.

Oof, good call. Hopefully my paralegal would have caught that one.Illicit, Zow. Illicit. Don't be writing briefs like that.
Just a smile and a nod.
Much love.
Things were so bad that "calming down" will raise his approval.Right. I just find it strange to think these facts as you've accurately stated would cause approval to go up. I would think they'd simply stay where they were.
He could do nothing and it would go up. The number was abnormally low to begin with. Just as if an approval number was like 90%, you would eventually expect to see it come down. The number is trying to slide closer to the middle of the bell curve as it is most likely a standard deviation or more to the left of it.Right.

And he loved Pottery BarnDid you know that James Madison was only 5'4" and 100 lbs?
Meh. Some of them are probably ecstatic that they have 30 more bucks in their paycheck. Not having enough foresight to realize that it's all money we have to pay back eventually.. If not us, then our children.I wonder if part of the reason for the rise in his approval ratings are the tariffs. I don’t know how much polling has gone into this, but tariffs tend to be very popular with the general public.
In my moments of doubt and low confidence, I worry about small moves like this, too. 63 million voters had the poor judgment to cast their ballots for him and incumbents are 5-2 in the last fitty years. Including Nixon, for og's sake.Trump rises in polls to 42%; highest in 11 months:

The people I'm referring to here are different from Trump's base: they don't like it when Trump says outrageous or offensive things. They don't like his bigotry or incompetence. But none of this is permanent for them. No matter how many bad things Trump does, let him do something they like, or let the economy be good, etc., and they're willing to forgive and forget.
Trump is an abnormally poor president.dschuler said:He could do nothing and it would go up. The number was abnormally low to begin with.

Tax time. My family made out much better than expected on our taxes. Were we not paying attention to anything else, we would probably approve of Trump.timschochet said:I wonder if part of the reason for the rise in his approval ratings are the tariffs.
Were you not paying attention, you might give Trump credit for this year's taxesTax time. My family made out much better than expected on our taxes. Were we not paying attention to anything else, we would probably approve of Trump.
Applied to the bedroom and I would be known as history's greatest lover.Henry Ford said:The highest ratings a president or an offensive lineman will get will be when no one has to think about him. At all.
Sigh.Tax time. My family made out much better than expected on our taxes. Were we not paying attention to anything else, we would probably approve of Trump.
. My wife is an accountant. Unfortunately this isn’t the first time I’ve heard this, or people asking her if people have been getting bigger returns this year. Guess I’ll call them around this time next year and let them know.Sigh.
The tax year you’re doing taxes for doesn’t have any Trump cuts.
I was guaranteed WWIII 15 months ago by all the lefties. I WANT SOME NUKE ACTION DAMMIT!!squistion said:Not yet. When are they planning to meet with Kim Jong-Un again?
15 months ago, I was guaranteed by Republicans: a wall, a travel ban, a transgender ban, mass deportations, the repeal of Obamacare, a soaring stock market, 4% GDP, a 15% corporate tax rate, a 35% middle class tax cut, Hillary in jail, $500 billion of infrastructure spending, the termination of DACA, the end of Common Core, a ban on foreign lobbyists, a 5-year lobbying ban for White House staffers, congressional term limits, reduction in college costs, defunding Planned Parenthood, defunding sanctuary cities, federal child care programs, federal child care tax deductions, a simplified tax system, China labeled a "currency manipulator", and probably a hundred other things not currently on the tip of my tongue, of which exactly none of which have materialized.I was guaranteed WWIII 15 months ago by all the lefties.

Make sure they thank Obama.. My wife is an accountant. Unfortunately this isn’t the first time I’ve heard this, or people asking her if people have been getting bigger returns this year. Guess I’ll call them around this time next year and let them know.
