^Proof that approval ratings mean dog shit.

Really having problems with definitions lately aren't you?

If this is proof of anything it's that being opposed to someone who's wildly unpopular is a popular thing to do.

At crunch time though...

Crunch time may come before 2020 if Mueller gets his job done in time.

Trump will have a record to run on.

Right. Suddenly people who are embarrassed every time he opens his mouth and all his bullshit and all the accusations against him will wake up and realize none of that matters because the stock market they have no investments in is high.

Or are you referring to something else by "his record?" I'm still waiting for someone to explain all the amazing things he's accomplished in the last year. I mean I know he says that he has but that's not really evidence.

Democrats will need a message. So far all they've got is "orange face....sexist.....twitter"

Assuming Trump is allowed to run in 2020, if the democrats can find anyone halfway respectable, they'll win unless things change a lot between now and then.

Amazing.

Scott Adams is totally right. People are watching two different movies on the same screen. The facts don't matter. The only way to tell if the movie you're watching is more accurate is if it is better at getting its predictions right.

People aren't watching the same screen, or at least not with the same narrator.

One narration is showing Trump being persecuted unjustly by some shady establishment with shady motives; the other is showing a shady guy and his shady cronies being investigated for a crime. The only thing the two screens have in common is that no-one but the key players know the truth.

It's not the predictions that matter, it's the explanations. Both movies could predict Trump goes to jail, but how and why he gets there would be based on completely different premises. Similarly, both could predict he gets re-elected in 2020, but would explain it as being for totally different reasons.

Yeah I prefer that way of putting just. Just making sure to give Adams his credit.

Example of one of the screens.

Really we're just loling at the idea that anybody thinks that somebody hired somebody to take himself down.

That's the thing, explanations matter if the viewer thinks they matter, at least when it comes to thinks like this, where ramifications aren't felt.

That is a funny story. But hard to reconcile with the facts.

1. Trump fires Comey, who later accuses him of trying to obstruct justice by asking him to drop his investigation of Flynn.

2. The DAG hires Mueller. Trump unhappy because Sessions recused himself and handed the authority over to Rosenstein.

3. Indictments of several of Trump's campaign team and administration (including Flynn) follow.

4. Several of those indicted get deals in return for testimony.

....

n. Trump either gets fingered or there's not enough evidence.


This isn't Law and Order, the investigation doesn't get all wrapped up in an hour. 'n' might not come for another year or more, but it will come. It's hard to see Trump coming out of this smelling like anything besides shit really; the only question is how bad the smell will be.
