I think pre-2011 Donald is sabotaging 2017 Donald. It's the only logical explanation. On June 17 2017 01:40 NewSunshine wrote: Wonder how Rasmussen had to word their polls to get that number. "Great news! Only half the country dislikes me now!" Well, his approval rating apparently rose 7 points in 3 days. So I'm not really sure. Fucking weird though. | ||

If Trump called upon members of /r/tD to assassinate his political opponents they'd cheer his name louder. I think she is specifically talking about congress. If he fires Rosenstein and then Mueller, we would be a full constitutional crisis. | ||

Only half the country dislikes me now!" Rasmussen uses a likely voter model, unlike every other approval poll. Likely voters for which election? No one knows. It lets them skew these pretty hard. For a comparison, I think these are the worst numbers for Trump from any poll and they came out yesterday via the AP : Overall, 64 percent disapprove and just 35 percent approve of his job performance. Trump was unpopular among Americans overall even as he was elected president, but the poll shows that even many Republicans have doubts. Nearly a third of Republicans and independents who lean toward the Republican party think Trump has little to no respect for the country’s democratic institutions, and a quarter disapprove of the job he’s doing as president. Nine in 10 Democrats and 6 in 10 independents say the same. https://apnews.com/024824c4f6ce4eddae98f4156e36553e/Poll-shows-most-doubt-Trump's-respect-for-institutions So I'm not sure what's up with rasmussen | ||

And given that the investigation may be far-reaching regardless of its veracity, it's not a bad idea to have one. Especially if he worked on the campaign. | ||

If somehow Trump's attorney worked on aspect of any transaction or something that would come under the scope of the investigation, he is best served by having another law firm handle that. The investigation might just be requesting documents or records, but another law office can go through those, redact privileged information, and then send them to the investigators.

It is mostly "I'm an attorney and not stupid enough to represent myself when the FBI comes knocking for my records." | ||

I think pre-2011 Donald is sabotaging 2017 Donald. It's the only logical explanation. . I really enjoy the idea that Obama making fun of Trump at the 2011 correspondents dinner triggered him so hard that he decided to make it his personal mission to become president and undo everything Obama did just out of pure spite. Knowing now how he can't take any criticism at all, this must have been one of the worst moments in his life. It's not true though since Trump talked about presidency way earlier than this but it's such a glorious villain origin story. | ||

If I needed a Walmart account to shop at AI Walmarts then I probably wouldn't bother. If I just needed my existing Amazon credit card which is already linked to my existing Amazon account to shop at AI Amazon stores then that's no hardship. For whatever reason Walmart has lagged behind when it comes to big data farming and accounts, not even having a loyalty program in their main business (Sam's Club obviously does). | ||

So not only does Amazon have a ton of momentum going into all this, but they are also selling a better product. My Amazon ecosystem and centralization are satisfying and add simplicity. Buying stuff at Walmart and buying into their ecosystem is kind of like having to carry around a second wallet. Maybe not a great metaphor, but you get the idea. When you add in Amazon's views on automation, self driving cars, etc, I see Amazon as a company worth sticking with because I see the value will only increase. Remember when suddenly Prime members got a $5/month value out of Twitch? Shit just comes out of nowhere. Video streaming? Music? The value of my Prime membership goes up each year. At this point I would seriously question why someone living in the US does not have a Prime membership. | ||
