Correct. He lies spit himself to make himself feel better. To assuage his pathological insecurity. His lies are like an infant sucking its thumb.
My view is that he lies about his approval rating for the same reason he lies about his golf scores, his weight, his school grades, his wealth.... It has little to do with strategy.

148. Suspending Habeas Corpus
In response to adverse rulings in numerous immigration cases, Stephen Miller is raising the specter of suspending habeas. His argument is factually and legally nuts, but it's worth explaining *why.*

We often think civilization’s progress is permanent.
This video shows Iran before the 1979 revolution, which plunged the country into a new Dark Age. Hard to believe Iran once looked like Europe or the U.S.
