Trump has never had a positive approval rating in Gallup, not even on Day 1 of either term. Was one of the strongest pieces of evidence of both how deeply unpopular Trump has always been and how unrepresentational the electoral college system is.

I was saying this the other day, but for all the thinkpieces about liberal echo chambers, no one discusses the right-wing echo chamber that enables people to think one of the most popular musicians in the world is some niche and offensive selection for the Super Bowl halftime show
Leaving the obvious racism aside for a second -- Bad Bunny has sold over 100 million albums and just won the Grammy for Best Album of the Year and these chuds are acting like he's an obscure Tuvan throat-singing act or something.
By any objective measure, he is wildly wildly popular.

Both these options sound objectively amazing, why do racists keep assuming everyone's racist?

Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "I don't know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat. I really don't. *crowd groans* I know we have some here today. I don't know why they're here, because they certainly don't give us their vote ... they cheat."

Nothing even remotely like the modern system of tightly restricted international borders existed in biblical times.
Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?
MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.
