My post about Mark Burnett was purely to counter a poster’s comments that producers/directors of “The Apprentice” have spoken out against Trump.

THE producer/creator of “The Apprentice,” one Mark Burnett, has worked hard to keep HIDDEN anything associated with the show that would shine a negative light on Trump. I know this about Burnett from reading newspapers and magazines.

Oh yeah…….I haven’t had a TV in 20+ years. I don’t watch TV on a computer or phone. I watch UNC sports at sports bars or with my Dad or live.

I guess we can all virtue signal that we don’t watch “reality TV.”

I do not even listen to the radio or read books. I'm blind but I write almost exclusively about paintings. Indeed, my mind is a crystalline structure of immense rational-intellectual power.

As for my shit, it gives off an exquisite fragrance.
 
I do have a friend that has worked on many of the "Survivor" shows over the years...I was walking down the street in Antigua, Guatemala once upon a time and someone tapped me on the shoulder, when I turned, there he was! We once worked together at The Hardback Cafe and he was in a band called "Light From August" if anyone can ID him from those clues you ought to PM me.

“Light in August” - isn’t that the correct name?

His name has the same initials as your username here and on IC.

Well, you nailed that better than I did...Faulkner is the inspiration I reckon and I got the novel's title wrong. Initials check out too.

LOL.

I never connected the band’s name with Faulkner…….a girlfriend’s best friend dated someone in the band. I never knew anyone else in the band….barely knew that guy.

Buncha English Majors as I recall. BB, DB, and John Howie...and Mike Ayers (now in The Connells)...and some other people.
 
OK, OK, enough of the tit for tat - apologies for derailing the thread - and apologies to Zoo_View for my jack-assery. I meant no harm and I'm obviously clueless and ignorant on the ways of Trump's Reality TV show, or any thoughts of remorse the producer(s) may or may not have had.

So back on topic:
As of the latest reports in Newsweek -
New YouGov/Economist polling, conducted between June 20-23 among 1,590 adults, shows that just 30 percent of Americans hold a very or somewhat favorable view of Democrats in Congress, while 62 percent view them unfavorably. That net rating of –32 marks a sharp slide from the start of President Trump's second term, when the favorability of congressional Democrats stood at -15 points.

Democratic pollster Matt McDermott called the results "striking," but dismissed any suggestion that they should be a cause for concern for Democrats... even though:

A majority of Americans hate Congress and like their own Representative or Senator. This has been the case for YEARS.

Few know what the Democratic or Republican Parties do today.

Some/many expect “the Democrats” to “do something.” Who are “the Democrats?” There is no Democratic leader. There won’t be until someone becomes the 2028 nominee.

If Congressional Dems saw that poll and wondered why 62% viewed them unfavorably...

GQPers universally view you unfavorably because you are Dems even if you were to find a cure for cancer and bring world peace.

Dems approve of you remaining true to advocating for protecting and improving the lives of working and middle class Americans.
Many Dems disapprove of you being wussies in your reluctance to vigorously oppose Trump and Congressional GOPers as they continue to pave the way to an American autocracy.

I think the Democrats decided to do nothing other than sit back and give Trump enough rope to hang himself. How's that working for them? As you say, many expect the Dems to "do something" besides just sit back - and obviously the approval ratings reflect that. But does that poll linked include some Republicans and Independents weighing in? Yes, it does. So it stands to reason they may give the Dems bad marks just because...

In that same YouGov poll conducted on June 27-30, 1,642 adults were polled. 527 were registered Democrats; 663 were Independents and the other 452 were confessed Republicans. Of the Dems polled: 66% gave a favorable review of the Dems in Congress. Of the Independents only 20% rated the Dems favorably. The Pubs? Obviously they gave a thumbs down (89% of the 452). All told and added up, the Dems in Congress received an UNFAVORABLE rating in that particular poll of 1600 people, making note of the fact that only 527 were actual Democrats.

You can skew the numbers any which way you want to make it seem like your side is "winning" or the other side is "losing". Same with the Trump favorability ratings. He is still highly favored in Pub-land.

I don't put a lot of stock in these polls. As a registered Independent myself, I would probably give the Dems in Congress a low rating too simply because you can count me as one who wishes they would "do something". Although I have no idea exactly what that "something" should be other than to vote against everything the Trump admin wants - and I believe that's what they've been doing in lock-step.

Should I give the Dems bad marks for voting as they do? Why am I giving them the thumbs down? What should they be doing in order for this Unaffiliated voter to give them high marks?
 

Trump’s mass deportation is backfiring​

As Biden discovered with the Afghanistan withdrawal, the wheels of public opinion turn slowly, until suddenly they don't. I know the Rams and callas of the world who only get their news from right wing sources think Trump is doing great. I think it's FAR more likely this administration is about to fall off a cliff that will grind our federal government to a halt until AT LEAST January 2029. I just hope we can hang on that long. I worry the discontent in the summer of 2020 is just a shadow of what we're about to experience when the vast majority of Americans turn against an administration that is only interested in consolidating and perpetuating power.
 

Favorable views of Democratic Party lowest in decades: Polling​


Favorable views of the Democratic Party are at their lowest in three decades, a new poll revealed, as the party seeks to regain enthusiasm and power in Congress following significant 2024 election losses.

The CNN poll, released early Thursday, found Democrats garnering just 28 percent favorability — a slight decline from March’s record low of 29 percent. On the other side, the unfavorability came in at 54 percent, with 3 percent saying they had “never heard” of the party and another 16 percent who said they had “no opinion.”

 
In November 2017, the Democratic Party's favorability ratings reached a 25-year low in CNN polling, and part of that was Democratic voters angered at elected Democrats for not fighting back against Trump and Republicans. In the 2018 election Democrats picked up 41 seats and control of the House. However, what the Trump/Republican regime will now do against democracy is beyond prediction.
