More than 20 percent of Republicans surveyed said certain criminal charges against former President Trump have made them more likely to support him in the 2024 election, according to a new Ipsos poll released Thursday.
Sincere question: does this statistic represent the sentiment that they A. like that Trump is a security risk to national interests or B. see this indictment as further proof that he's actually the messiah who was close to unearthing JKF Jr and QAnon stuff, so clearly he was thisclose to draining the swamp?
I've said it before and I'll say it again: what is the role that Oppositional Defiance Disorder is playing into such a huge number of people??
They believe the trial is nothing but his political enemies, the dems/libs/antifa/blm/Mexicans/commies/satanists/whatever, trying to drag him down for bullshit reasons, so they just have to support him harder.
Oooo I love learning a term that perfectly describes something I previously couldn’t!!
ETA: Oh my.
Oppositional defiant disorder (Also called: ODD).
A disorder in a child marked by defiant and disobedient behavior to authority figures.
Bruh, “in a child”? These are full grown adults!
Some children with ODD outgrow the condition by age eight or nine. But about half of them continue to experience symptoms of ODD through adulthood. People with ODD report feeling angry all of the time, and about 40 percent of them become progressively worse and develop antisocial personality disorder.
Wow. WOW. So many things in the world just made so much more sense to me in the last 5 minutes. Holy shit.
Does it make anyone else angry that Janet Yellen and the Federal Reserve are trying to “Get Wages Down”? I would ask who these people work for, but that’s fairly obvious at this point, and it certainly isn’t any of us....
In a Wall Street Journal op-ed published in 2021, two of the Moores’ lawyers also declared unambiguously that the lawsuit “stands to slam shut the door on a federal wealth tax like the one Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants to enact.” They made a direct pitch to “the courts” to hear the Moores’ case “now” to make it...
It still feels unnerving to some, even those caught in the crossfire, to see injuries invented wholesale and lies accepted by the highest court in the land.
Article- Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raised the possibility that Congress should consider subpoenaing Chief Justice John Roberts if he stands by his refusal to testify about ethical questions hanging over the high court....
They will already do everything they can get away with, without worrying about the other side is doing. If the courts can be packed then they will pack them regardless of what dems do.
The right/bigots is always talking about the gay agenda. We don't have one. We just want to live our lives. Its the right who has an agenda. They worked hard to rig the court and are now making up lies to take to the court so the LGBTQ rights can be taken away. They want us back in the closet. And it's not just the LGBTQ community that they are looking to strip rights from. Non-christians, women, minorities, and workers to name a few.
A fine #Monday to you all. Another start of the week and another chance to move forward. Sometimes I must remind myself not to #worry about things I can't control. #Politics, #environment, and stuff at work. A lot of it, it's not within my power to #change. So, I'm going to take things as they come. Handle it when I can. But don't #stress yourself out because eventually, you will have a situation you need to deal with. So, save your energy for those times instead. Here is your morning #mantra.
I am thankful for living to see another #sunrise, and I will use this gift to help everyone I can.
#photography for today is a picture of the moon I took by holding my phone up to my daughter's telescope.
