Blow shit up - Watch polls rise

[Cyrano]

What a sick fucking world. Trump launches some missiles at Syria and gets a bump in the polls. That big "mother" dropped on Afghanistan will probably kick his numbers a bit higher.

This has probably been true with every president. And it's an indication of how fucked up human beings are. Think about it. Blow stuff up. Kill some people. Get more popular.

And the pundits who are cheering him on are imbeciles. All they're doing is encouraging an unhinged man to become more unhinged.

So we can now look forward to more bombing. Who's next? North Korea? Iran? Chicago?

1. Which poll(s) gave him a bump outside the margin of error?

The legit polls I've seen so far don't show very much if any 'bump'.

2. Which polls?

Other presidents have gotten bumps because folks believed they were acting in the national interest and not out of political expediency.

3. The thing that disgusts me is the media fawning over it all

With Comey having informed us that Trump is under FBI investigation for collusion with Russia to throw the election, you'd think their reporting would be through the lens of a potential criminal attempting to deflect and distract.

Instead, they carry on in a vacuum, foisting the same tired and dangerous pro-military/destruction talking points that they did with Iraq and George W.

The media is quite complicit in ushering in the Felon in Chief, and then offering him undeserved support when he drops bombs for dubious reasons under questionable circumstances.

6. Yes, "Thank god for Rachel"

She seems to be on the leading edge of many stories. (She was the first to put Bridgegate/Christie into the national spotlight.)

And you can bet she will keep will stick with the Trump/Russia story like a penicillin on an infection.

4. Trump's polling has a frozen cap below 40% and that is likely to drop to 30% with nuke threat.

With everyone scrambling to find their old school desk to hide under, Trump's popularity should take a huge dive.

His baby sitter is away on vacation again for the weekend. No adults with any authority are in charge.
