Democrats hoping to impeach Trump after the mid-terms will be buoyed by the latest poll from G. Elliott Morris Strength in Numbers newsletter.
It found that 55% of those surveyed support the House of Representatives voting to impeach Trump with 37% opposing and 8% are unsure.
Morris notes that House of Representatives Member John Larson has introduced 13 articles of impeachment against Trump and has been supported by 85 House members either supporting that or invoking the 25th Amendment.
Is the authoritarian tide in Europe turning? Some good news from Hungary suggests it may be.
Significantly, though it is also bad news for the Trump administration. US Vice President JD Vance openly campaigned for Orban in the lead up to the election.
Donald Trump also joined the campaign saying about Orban: “He’s kept your country good, he’s kept Hungarian people in your country. And he’s done a fantastic job.”
While some commentators – and Congress members – are speculating on whether to invoke the 25th amendment or not the voting public has decided already – Trump has to go.
G. Elliott Morris has produced new estimates which indicate that where Trump’s approval rating is below 50% among registered voters in 135 Republican held Congressional seats – 104 in the House and 31 in the Senate.
The attitudes of Americans to the Middle East in general and Israel in particular has for decades been totally predicable.
The overwhelming consensus – demonstrated by years of polling – is that Americans support Israel and have no sympathy for the Palestinians.
Now Donald Trump’s Iran War and Israel’s war with the Palestinians have profoundly altered attitudes.
We know that the world has experienced devastating disasters which have changed the Earth.
The Chicxulub meteorite 66 million years ago did for the dinosaurs. The shrinking of ice 11,000 years ago did for the people of Doggerland and created what is now the North Sea while communities in the Mediterranean experienced a Great Drowning.
Donald Trump loves two things even more than he loves himself – gold adornment and sticking his name on things in return for money (mainly) or other forms of grifting.
His latest effort was exposed by Isaac Arnsdorf of The Washington Post (27/3).
It is hard not to have noticed that Trump loves Sharpie Pens. He uses them to highlight things and sometimes even spells correctly with them.
The latest from G. Elliott Morris.
ICE at airports: 53% disapprove of deploying ICE agents to airports. 59% disapprove of Trump rejecting the Senate DHS funding deal.
Airport chaos: 77% say conditions at airports are worse than usual, and 52% blame the Trump administration or Senate Republicans for the current chaos — nearly double the 25% who blame Democrats.
Donald Trump has hit a major milestone – he is now underwater – and doesn’t have a positive rating on any issue rating.
Meanwhile Trump – as the grifter in chief – has failed to stop insiders making huge profits by placing bets before a new official policy is announced.
The current Presidential approval rating shows that 37% approve of Trump’s job performance while 60% disapprove.
It’s hard to escape religion in Australia even though it plays an increasingly minor place in Australian society.
Our parliaments open with prayers despite many MP’s – like many among the general public – having no religion.
Yet the Scanlon Foundation Research Institute has recently published a report on religion and social cohesion in Australia, which found that religious affiliation has been declining in Australia with a deep decline in affiliation with Christianity over the past five decades.
“HISPANICS LOVE TRUMP” Donald Trump said in 2024. He was – for once – not boasting as he had won 48% of the Latino vote – more than any previous Republican presidential candidate had.
There was much analysis among pundits of the significance of this, and it was claimed to be a dramatic realignment of US politics as discussed in the last blog post.
