Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Still has all the power in the world. What if it dropped to 20%, would that make any difference?
The republican congress members are still voted in. They can impeach if it gets bad enough
And what would be bad enough that they would choose to give up their dictator?
They have a more controllable dictator in reserve. Thiel just needs to say the word.
Yikes.
When the base is mad enough to throw them out if they don't. The Florida special elections didn't flip any seats, but they showed a 15-point swing away from the GOP in deep red parts of the state. That's gonna make them sweat. Unless they can sufficiently rig the midterms or sway Trump off his current "crash the economy for lulz" trajectory, it may well be a bloodbath, and that's the sort of math that starts peeling sycophants away from Trump.
Tell me… what happens if they impeach?
The executive stops even remotely pretending to operate by the rule of law?
Impeachment is easy, relatively speaking. A simple majority of the House can impeach Trump as they did twice in his last term. I believe the number is 7, of 220 Republicans in the house, would need to vote to impeach.
Getting a trial in the Senate to convict and remove, which requires a two thirds vote, would need about 20 Republicans, of 53 to vote to convict. I can't imagine what would need to happen for that to occur. And even if it does, JD Vance is sworn in by Roberts as POTUS? I guess that means we're in a world where Republicans think that's better in some significant group.
I honestly see them 25th-ing Donny Dementia before that ever happens
Lowest... so far...
OK ONLY 13% MORE AND SCHUMER CAN ENACT THE MASTER PLAN!!!
thats depressingly high.
The lowest so far. Wait until the inflation from his new set of international tariffs and resulting retaliatory tariffs kicks in.
after much bad his approval should sink 5 more points.
Not to worry, he just taxed all the world's stuff on Americans.
This is an budding authoritarian government where the polls don't matter.
Trump approval falls to 43%, lowest since returning to office ^*^
