You guys, the person exercising the powers of the presidency is constitutionally disqualified from holding the office and he’s having the White House bulldozed. This is true and it’s happening, right? I’m not dreaming this?

All the polling across an array of methodologies indicates that he retains ~40% public approval. That is his core base and it doesn’t seem like anything can break through with them. He seems to have lost the swing voters who swung for him last November, but his grip on the GOP remains solid.

FWIW I agree 100% with you that the message itself is bonkers

and I tossed my tiny garbage bag into the back of the garbage truck and it was every bit as thrilling as I hoped it would be. 2/2 #bucketlist

I was walking my dog today and holding a poo bag and we came up to a garbage truck and I asked the guy if I could toss in the poo bag and he offered to take it from me but I said I can toss it in and he said sure 1/2
