    My complete disdain for statistics not withstanding. What difference does it make how unpopular this motherfucker is if him and his stupid MAGA cronies are gonna stay in office anyway

      None at all. He’s already in office, he’s can’t run for reelection (at least as it stands right now). How popular he is doesn’t mean shit.

      Also the way they write these headlines you would think nobody supports him but actually 40% of those asked support him. The poll was taken this week.

        There is a certain point where Republicans in Congress have to distance themselves from the president to get re elected, it’s right around 33%. That’s when shit will start to matter

          As with all things Trump, I’ll believe it. Also as with all things Trump, since it involves actual consequences we won’t see it.

          I always imagine it’ll be that droning, meandering almost “crusty” and greasy Big Mac voice just droning and eventually fading out.

      I’ve messaged all of the cunts in my state and everyone of them truly believes they’re keeping Trump in check and doing good stuff. They’re also aware of how I truly feel about them, so I’m definitely on a list. Grassley, Miller-Meeks, Ernst, Hinson, and Reynolds are all amongst the shittiest of the shitty in US politics. I wish nothing but the worst for all of them for what they’ve contributed to the state of Iowa. They took a respectable state and speed ran it to the bottom. Fuck them.

        Yeah, Iowa and Kansas are kind of in similar boats. We’ve got big cities and college towns that are very modern and progressive surrounded by an ocean of Republican voters that keep flipping our state red because of the distracting.

        If it makes you feel better, I sent a personal letter to Jerry Moran and told him that he was the most worthless motherfucker in the history of American politics, and all he did was send me an autographed photo of himself

        Hopefully Chuck Grassley will die before the next election, but who knows I think they’ve been saying that since the 80s

          I told Chuck he’s a Nazi shit head, and at least Reynolds that she’s a cunt.

          If Chuck dies, and even if he doesn’t, his son who’s currently in the state house I think, will run and win. It’s already lined up, and Iowans in particular are idiots. The brain drain is real. Mark it, Pat Grassley will be the next senator in that seat.
