After almost three-quarters of a century of trying, Donald Trump has become the first American ever about whom zero percent have No Opinion.
Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace – haha ok lmao
Not too shabby considering the hostility Trump had to endure from the press, big business, and his own party for four years.
Here’s my own survey of the above poll:
Credible: 59%
Somewhat Credible: 37%
Not Credible: 237% (REDRUM!)
John Podhoretz Level Credible: -2%
So it turns out Whit Stillman is just another idiot savant.
I don’t think the UHB can survive under the political platform Stillman is supporting.

Poll: Trump approval remains stable, Republicans unmoved after Capitol violence
Eighty-seven percent of Republicans approve of how Trump is doing his job in a new NBC News poll, but half of all voters say Trump is “definitely worse than most” presidents.

The TRUMP experiment was basically a failure, but we got some great laughs which isn’t nothing. History will remember TRUMP for a thousand years, while his hysterical critics – those utter mediocrities – will mostly be forgotten even in their own time.
Please publish a poll of what Americans think about politicians. Cancer will poll better.
I’m starting to suspect the ‘polls’ are about as reliable as our elections.
Rassmussen seems to have been the best approval poll throughout his presidency. Most mainstream polls were really bad at capturing Trump. I know Steve is just making a joke, but only fools would look to the mainstream polls at this point.
Whit Stillman made fascinating movies once. But he, like his father, was always involved as a functionary in local Democratic politics. That can screw one up big-time.
His Stillman ancestors founded Brownsville, Texas, of all places. He has Rockefeller and Carnegie cousins through the Stillmans. As his name suggests, he’s descended from John Whitney, so has many notable cousins in that clan.
“Stillman’s godfather was E. Digby Baltzell, a University of Pennsylvania professor and chronicler of the American upper class.”

Ah, Whit Stillman. I brought his name up to an east coast girl about 6 years ago, when we were talking about conservatives and the arts. She burst into laughter and said, “Haha! Whit Stillman! Omigod. I MET that guy! At a bar in New York. He was old and so drunk and at closing time he kept hitting on my friends who were just out of college and we were all just laughing. Ew. That guy is pathetic.”
She talked about him as though he had absolutely no status. It made me kind of sad. I never told anyone that story because, I guess, why would I? But his tweet inspired me to share it with the world.

And here’s the rare articulate ballplayer.
In the bottom clip when Alex Johnson refers to the Designated Pinch Hitter he means the DH, as this was the first year of the new rule. Despite his unhappiness he ended up starting 116 games at DH and only 40 games in LF. The Whitey he is referring to is Whitey Herzog, who ended up getting fired in September for Billy Martin.
Coincidentally, Walt Williams and Alex Johnson ended up as teammates with the Yankees in 74 and 75.
Polling is about as reliable as vote counting these days.
For what it’s worth, Rasmussen has Trump’s approval rating at 48 percent.

Lemme guess… you don’t care much for Eric Rohmer either. But for some of us, watching fetching young actresses gab for 90 or 120 minutes beats any “action” film.
And Rohmer's innumerable beauties are almost uniformly top-notch. Whereas Stillman's are a mixed bunch at best. More to the point, Rohmer's psychological insights and the intricacy of his dances of seduction are immaculate, while Stillman's are usually preposterously leadfooted.
With all that said, I don't deny that Stillman pictures have a certain measure of charm. Most of them begin promisingly--but the capers he puts them through have no causal logic. He can write some decent epigrams, and sketch charmingly oddball characters. But then he tosses them into a vacuum of errant whimsy either because he desperately lacks human insight or else he's trying to be subversively PoMo and throw motivation out the window.Replies: @Reg Cæsar

With the sweet exception of Last Days of Disco, all Stillman’s feature films lurch illogically in their second acts and become nonsensical by the third. What in heaven’s name is the thematic import, for example, of the protracted crisis at the end of Barcelona where the bride inexplicably holds up the groom all afternoon? What are we to infer about the couple’s future happiness, regardless of the halcyon epilogue? Stillman has listed Miracle at Morgan’s Creek as one of his top ten favorite movies, which perhaps betrays a bit of a cuck fetish (as see also the ‘happy ending’ he devised for Love & Friendship‘s Lady Susan).
And Rohmer’s innumerable beauties are almost uniformly top-notch. Whereas Stillman’s are a mixed bunch at best. More to the point, Rohmer’s psychological insights and the intricacy of his dances of seduction are immaculate, while Stillman’s are usually preposterously leadfooted.

Point well taken. One thing no one noticed because of Trump obsession is extent late surge that looked pro-Trump was in fact a reaction against Cheney et al coming out for Biden.

What a long, strange trip it’s been. From “he has small hands” to “grab ’em by the pussy” to “drain the swamp” to the exhilarating victory over the wicked witch to Russiagate to Ukrainegate to impeachment to the Coronapocalypse to the Summer of Floyd to the post-election clusterfuck to the Capitol protests to another impeachment … it’s been a wild ride. Sometimes exhilarating, frequently heartbreaking, ultimately infuriating, but endlessly fascinating.
Was Trump’s heart really in it? Did he ever intend to keep the promises he made in 2016? I’d like to think that he ran in good faith. But even if he didn’t, as I’ve said before, we still owe him a debt of gratitude. President Trump has done the world a favor by exposing the malfeasance of the American political, social, and cultural elite. At this point, anyone who does not see that the system is entirely corrupt is hopelessly delusional.
Where do we go from here? Down the drain, it would seem. Instead of “All the Way with LBJ,” we’re going “Out to Sea with JRB.”
There are some dark times ahead. But keep the faith. If we’re lucky, Conservatism Inc. will come to our rescue in 2022 with a fabulous package of capital-gains tax cuts.

Trump gave a speech in April 2016 that the central pillar of his management style is -We have to be unpredictable. He has fulfilled that promise to a fault.
This is basically rhetorical, but how do these people make the connection that the Capital protest, riot (whatever you want to call it) is racist or racial in any way? It’s massive gaslighting at the highest levels.Replies: @Forbes
And the gaslighting worked–as these “intellectual giants” are convinced by the “reporting.”
LOL.
How can we sum up the last four years? Should we even try?
What a long, strange trip it's been. From "he has small hands" to "grab 'em by the pussy" to "drain the swamp" to the exhilarating victory over the wicked witch to Russiagate to Ukrainegate to impeachment to the Coronapocalypse to the Summer of Floyd to the post-election clusterfuck to the Capitol protests to another impeachment ... it's been a wild ride. Sometimes exhilarating, frequently heartbreaking, ultimately infuriating, but endlessly fascinating.
Was Trump's heart really in it? Did he ever intend to keep the promises he made in 2016? I'd like to think that he ran in good faith. But even if he didn't, as I've said before, we still owe him a debt of gratitude. President Trump has done the world a favor by exposing the malfeasance of the American political, social, and cultural elite. At this point, anyone who does not see that the system is entirely corrupt is hopelessly delusional.
Where do we go from here? Down the drain, it would seem. Instead of "All the Way with LBJ," we're going "Out to Sea with JRB."

The clip on top was from August 10, 1973. The Rangers ended up losing 8-1.
In the bottom clip when Alex Johnson refers to the Designated Pinch Hitter he means the DH, as this was the first year of the new rule. Despite his unhappiness he ended up starting 116 games at DH and only 40 games in LF. The Whitey he is referring to is Whitey Herzog, who ended up getting fired in September for Billy Martin.
Coincidentally, Walt Williams and Alex Johnson ended up as teammates with the Yankees in 74 and 75.
I like Whitman’s work and was able to overlook his formulaic writing because dammit it was fun!
Sadly I made the mistake of checking out his twitter feed over the past year and saw a total absence of wit when dealing with the current political situation.
He’s an empty suit at the end of the day.
Damn you, Trump!
I don’t know about that, but I really liked Metropolitan.
As a teacher, my students tend to have a definite opinion of me, either positive or negative. While it is much more positive than negative, this has not made me popular with my bosses, as they prefer mediocrity over anything else.

Wrong.

91% of Trump voters polled would not change their vote if they could.

So the evil “semi-automatic assault weapon” is such a threat in the hands of US citizens that the government must resort to these weapons in order to prevail.
“American civilians are a real danger to those in power” is the true message of the Democrat mayor.
Probably. But his tweets make him sound like the irrelevant-drunk-hasbeen-bustout-desperately-trying-to-get-laid that he apparently is in real life.
I’ve heard that same story from young women about everybody from local teachers to world- famous celebrities. I think that’s one of the basic scripts in girlbot programming.
Yes, though I heard an version of it in a courtroom from an reluctant “victim”/witness in the trial of an guy for indecent liberties. Overweight and unattractive girl is out drinking with prettier friends at small town bar and leaves with skinny and unattractive guy to retire momentarily to his compact Datsun to talk and, as the story goes, eventually she is sexually assaulted.
Girl returns to bar unfazed but becomes fazed after a shit storm of razzing from her friends of the kind illustrated above related to what went on in Datsun with the ‘loser’. Somewhere along the way she tells story, true or not, about being assaulted. Perhaps because she grew embarrassed.
Meddling friend #1 has her own Meddling friend #2 (not at bar) with new victim advocacy job with DA. Meddling friend #1 becomes crusader haranguing purported victim to tell her story to victim advocate. Purported victim resists but is eventually worn down. Purported victim does almost everything to avoid advancing this case including failing to show up at trial and being evasive during trial. Nevertheless, DA is relentless, reschedules trial and guy gets convicted.
Never saw another trial like that where I was confident guy was convicted just for being unappealing to a fat girl’s snotty friends.Replies: @black sea, @JimDandy
She struck me as a credible witness. And Stillman strikes me as a total douche.
