So the guy's Late Show was canceled. Lost millions of dollars for CBS. Was never into him. Didn't find him funny. Past my bedtime. Leno wondering why late-night comedians turn so partisan and lose half their audience. The one thing I remember about Colbert is he had on some cringeworthy covidian vax dancers sketch once. The demise of Colbert. There are more important things to protest.
I guess comedians play off current events, that being the funniest stuff going on. Latest statement from Gallop-
ReplyDelete"WASHINGTON, D.C. — Six months into his second term, President Donald Trump’s job approval rating has dipped to 37%, the lowest of this term and just slightly higher than his all-time worst rating of 34% at the end of his first term. Trump’s rating has fallen 10 percentage points among U.S. adults since he began his second term in January, including a 17-point decline among independents, to 29%, matching his lowest rating with that group in either of his terms." But he is doing well with his base.
I'm no polling scholar but just off the top of my head isn't this the pattern with many presidents? Having said that I would posit the dip comes because most of the things he's currently doing people didn't vote for. We didn't vote for him so he could fight Harvard for example. As for MAGA in my book it's a certified cult.
ReplyDeleteHowever on the flip side if I were a Democratic strategist I would say to my own party one of the reasons he got into office is because you don't think illegal immigration is a problem at all so that left a vacuum. The political pendulum has two extremes and swings back and forth so if we could somehow capture the Middle and stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteNo idea the pendulum could swing THAT far.
DeleteDems have to figure out a way to take the issues back. Illegal immigration for instance. Acknowledge it's a problem. Hillary and Obama used to do that. I've seen the clips on YouTube but then something happened. It's like ignore the problem so we're left with the Homan approach.
DeleteAbout 40 minutes from us in Danville VA a city councilman was SET ON FIRE apparently related to a personal matter between him and the attacker. Violence is All American but setting someone on fire is kinda beyond the pale.
ReplyDeleteHere in Midtown some guy walked into a skyscraper and shot and killed four people including an NYPD officer whose wife is pregnant with their third child. You may have heard. The gunman also killed had some kind of beef with the NFL but went to the wrong office.
ReplyDeleteFollowing the latest and I think Trunp is in the clear on Epstein.
ReplyDeleteSome are wondering why people are picking on ICE. Is it their dress code?
ReplyDeleteUnless the hundreds of victims start to talk?
ReplyDeleteI think in this case Trump is telling the truth. He ended his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein because he was taking workers away from Mar-A-Lago.
ReplyDeleteICE doesn't seem to follow normal professional standards for any law enforcement agency. They do what they want. They've gone rogue.
ReplyDeleteNo men or old ladies though. Why didn't he use an employment agency?
DeleteDid you get your $600 tariff rebate check yet?
ReplyDeleteNo. on the bright side, I haven't been deported.
ReplyDeleteRead article that predicted Singularity in about five years. Biggest problem is AI has trouble with the English language. What the fumdiddlydoo puff'nsuff smack snark they eyeballing?
ReplyDeleteBusy expanding GeeeZ blog. Feel like Don Quixote vs the Windmill bunch. Any advice?
ReplyDeleteWait, what blog?
DeleteJust browsed it. A quick scan is all I have time for now. Agree with parts. Most of PBS is not politics imo. A new thought just occurred to me. Why not just live with bias or change the channel? Trump's fixations ain't helping me pay my bills.
