Obama is supposed to be 6'1" - the angle of the picture may give you an inch of variance, tops:
A year into Donald Trump's presidency, global confidence in US leadership has fallen to a new low, according to an opinion survey conducted across 134 countries.
The Gallup poll puts global approval of US leadership at just 30%, slightly behind China on 31% and only three points ahead of Russia. Germany is now the top-rated global power in the world, with an approval rating of 41%, according to the survey.
The US rating is down nearly 20 points from the 48% approval rating in the last year of President Barack Obama's administration, Gallup said. It's also four points lower than the previous low of 34%, seen in the final year of George W. Bush's presidency.

I'm sure that made Drumpf feel better, but if true it does undercut the out some were giving him in that speech where he was slurring his word so much. If it wasn't due to slipping dentures, what exactly was that all about?
I find it hard to believe Trump has ever driven, or had a need for a driver's license.pr0ner wrote: Thu Jan 18, 2018 10:56 amSomeone FOIA'd his NY Drivers License and it lists 6'2".

I read an article that was recounting the interview, so they had access to it even if it isn't available to the public yet (I don't know that it is/isn't).Holman wrote: Thu Jan 18, 2018 1:26 pm I'm waiting for Trump's response to Stormy Daniels.
Has her full interview dropped yet? The rumor is that she declares him bad at sex. There's no way he lets that go.
Sadly, no one cares. I'm sure the faithful are applauding Trump for his choice in women. Que the misogynistic memes...Holman wrote: Thu Jan 18, 2018 1:43 pm Remember when Trump told us that Hillary should absolutely have left Bill for cheating on her?
Yeah but she was probably allowed to leave if she wanted to.Holman wrote: Thu Jan 18, 2018 1:43 pm Remember when Trump told us that Hillary should absolutely have left Bill for cheating on her?
Why would it be noteworthy if he was "bad"? Personally I don't care if he is the worst or the greatest lover of all time or any thing in between. He is still a horrible human and a rotten President.GreenGoo wrote: Thu Jan 18, 2018 1:34 pmI read an article that was recounting the interview, so they had access to it even if it isn't available to the public yet (I don't know that it is/isn't).Holman wrote: Thu Jan 18, 2018 1:26 pm I'm waiting for Trump's response to Stormy Daniels.

She says he's bad at sex, but then expounds on it, and it basically sounds like they had typical old man sex. From what I can tell, it's not "bad" it's just generic, which isn't noteworthy, in my opinion.

Dems need to give up on guns, abortion, and any other non-imperative issues, highly-divisive issues. Save them for down the road. There are a ton of single issue voters that might move two two or three issues if they felt some security on issue #1.LordMortis wrote: Thu Jan 18, 2018 4:13 pmPay walled for me.
But what I assume is a similar concern I posted yesterday, not necessarily from Trump supporters but from "Middle America" democrats.

I'd start with fearing the midterms elections before fearing the 2020. I think dems get the picture but then who knows? They still seem to be the party of Pelosi and that could spell pain when it should the party of Trump should lead them to easy victories.
Of course this opinion comes from someone waiting and hoping for the GOP to implode so he can put his vote elsewhere. I have effectively been taken hostage, something I vowed I would never let happen.
I was surprised to see that nearly all of those letters justified support for Trump because "Trump beat ISIS." That's a tough one to comprehend, considering that Trump was just executing the policies put in place by Obama beginning in 2015.
Gun control is wildly popular, though, so...maybe don't give up on that issue.LawBeefaroni wrote: Thu Jan 18, 2018 4:43 pmDems need to give up on guns, abortion, and any other non-imperative issues, highly-divisive issues.

As soon as it's obvious that they're avoiding these issues, the GOP will just push them back to the front. If they're at risk of losing the socially conservative Democrats who have voted Republican, it's easy for the Republicans to just remind them why they started switching in the first place. Plus, then the Democrats piss off their base of social liberals.LawBeefaroni wrote: Thu Jan 18, 2018 4:43 pmDems need to give up on guns, abortion, and any other non-imperative issues, highly-divisive issues.

I'm not talking about legislation. I'm talking about campaigning and Sunday morning talk show rhetoric. Don't say you want to ban semi-automatic weapons or put a Planned Parenthood in every Starbucks. Write a bill to do so, if you want. Most voters don't know what their representatives do in Washington. Feel free to state your [party's] position when asked. But don't go all stupid. When Pelosi says her crazy, there are single issue voters who would cast their votes for the next 10 years right then and there if they could. And most of them aren't voting for her.ImLawBoy wrote: Thu Jan 18, 2018 5:18 pmAs soon as it's obvious that they're avoiding these issues, the GOP will just push them back to the front.

The good news is that the GOP has become so crazy and divorced from mainstream opinion that even on divisive issues, they've left democrats plenty of room to stake out reasonable positions. Say that you want to ban assault weapons, high capacity ammo magazines, and bump stocks, which has overwhemling popular support. Don't say that you want to put a Planned Parenthood in every Starbucks, because that's a crazy thing that no one would ever actually say.LawBeefaroni wrote: Thu Jan 18, 2018 5:52 pmI'm not talking about legislation.

Maybe I'm just desensitized and used to crazy coming from the right but damn, the Dems have sure stepped it up the last few years.
I have a long history of hating Trump, going back to the 80s. However, that didn't prevent me from noticing the GOP-level insanity from the Dems in 2016. You know that feeling you got when Trump won? I got that feeling when it officially became a 2-horse race.
It seems like the new expectation is a complete national reimagining every 4 or 8 years. I'm more for the status quo (or was when it was a different status quo) with incremental changes.
Right but if you're trying to court the socially conservative Democrat who is pro life and anti gay marriage, the GOPer who is running just makes a point of mentioning that he is pro life and anti gay marriage, and you're at the same point. You can try to avoid the issues during campaigns, but the other side is going to go to great lengths to bring up your unpopular beliefs.LawBeefaroni wrote: Thu Jan 18, 2018 5:52 pm I'm not talking about legislation.

What is currently most popular and best selling firearm class in the US? Hint, it's what you suggested banning. Just about every person who owns legally one will vote the other way.

80% support the ban. If the other 20% are really upset and vote the other way, I would still sign on to that 1,000%. You can't win everyone, so you want to focus on winning the majority.LawBeefaroni wrote: Thu Jan 18, 2018 6:06 pmWhat is currently most popular and best selling firearm class in the US?
