    Biden approval down to 38%… still higher than Trump’s low of 34% but I can think of a way for Biden to jack that number up considerably…

    I also think this is the new "normal".

    1/3 will like you

    1/3 will loathe you

    1/3 will be apathetic

    After reading Trump’s comments at CPAC, I’m having trouble determining who’s more unhinged… I still say Putin but it’s really close.

    Trump is a piece of work, but I wouldn't say he is anywhere near the guy standing up nuclear forces.

    Yeah he definitely isn’t remotely close.

    Putin is far more dangerous because he's paired his megalomania with a nationalistic grievance and created a political system which allows him to apply it. Trump is consumed with himself, but with a primary desire to gain acceptance and credit for himself. He doesn't really give too much of a shit about nationalistic sensibilities when push comes to shove and works in a political system which has some ability to contain his irrationality. Putin is a danger to the world. Trump is ours.

    That is a good way to look at it.

    Not that it is totally accurate, but I might word it ...

    "Putin is a direct danger to the world. Trump is an indirect danger to the world."

    After the events of January 6, I could see Trump pulling something like this. Thank God he’s no longer POTUS, and may it stay that way. Imagine if Trump had been in power as long as Putin. In my opinion, they are cut from the same cloth.

    Where I do think they differ is that Putin seems to be genuinely intelligent (even if that intellect is misguided, and self absorbed) where Trump is just a dumbass who lucked into his life situation.

    Trump is truly skilled at reading people - it’s an art.

    I'm sure there's some weird stuff. I just found the mishap amusing and if you still shot the video on the other newscaster the look on his face is funny

    That whole video is funny… and for the record, I don’t think Biden is a pedo at all. It’s just another talking point from the right. Both sides do it but to call someone a pedo (without real proof) is over the top, imo.

    Did Biden just say “Iranian” people? Or was “Uranium” people?…

    I thought the Ukranian segment was poorly articulated. Basically, came across as saying we support you Ukraine, but you're not in NATO which we'll defend with everything you have. Then said Putin will pay for his aggression, but we'll let him have Ukraine, but don't worry Ukraine, we're with you.

    While this is the unfortunate reality, there had to be a better way to articulate it, without telling Ukraine thoughts and prayers.

    Yeah, Biden not coming across very well at all. Even when he tries to talk tough, he just can’t pull it off at all.
