A big question during the Trump presidency was whether anything could actually move the public opinion needle. It turns out that the insurrection at the US Capitol last week did exactly that. Indeed, a number of non-Quinnipiac pollsters including CNN/SSRS (34%), Gallup (34%) and the Pew Research Center (29%) also show Trump hitting his lowest level of support during his presidency. The result is that Trump's final first term approval rating looks to be the lowest on record dating back since scientific polling began.
Trump, even on his way out, yet again setting a historical standard for excellence!

this, this is actually good, ok?
I love that video. Was afraid to post it here and "jinx" things w/ him actually pardoning them. But...
Perhaps the most high-profile rioter, the so-called QAnon Shaman who broke into the Senate chamber and posed at the dais with a spear, wearing a horned fur hat and animal skins, is also pleading for a pardon. Jacob Chansleys lawyer said he reached out to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows about a possible pardon on behalf of the Arizona man, acknowledging it might be a reach but that there was nothing to lose in seeking one. If Chansley is not granted a pardon, attorney Albert Watkins said, it could offer the added benefit of further awakening his client to the fact that his devotion to Trump has not been reciprocated, comparing it to being a jilted lover or even a member of a cult. The only thing that was missing at the Capitol was the president, our president, stirring up the Kool-Aid with a big spoon, Watkins said. Dominic Pezzola, a New York, man and far-right Proud Boys supporter who was seen in a video using a clear police shield to shatter a Capitol window, also explored seeking a pardon but his attorney said there was not enough time to make it happen. To believe the president is going to carte blanche issue these pardons is kind of a fantasy, defense attorney Mike Scibetta told the Associated Press. I think it would cast a shadow on his own impeachment defense.
Those are the words of these dumb ass terrorists' own defense lawyers!
Soak in the hatred and betrayal, Trumpsters! Your God Emperor left you out to dry! You've finally learned what the rest of us have known for decades: That Trump only gives a damn about himself, and he'll gladly let you rot in jail rather than add even a slight risk to his own impeachment trial. And now these dumb ass mother fuckers are so fucking fucked! Bring on the felony murder charges, Merrick Garland!
