    Given that Goebbels presumably took his professional career plenty seriously, I daresay the question does not merit a moment's consideration.
    And we should find that impressive because...?
    Dan Horowitz has another view:

    The crown jewel provision of the bill offered numerous back-end early release programs that apply retroactively so that many drug traffickers and many other dangerous criminals in the federal system can serve at least one-third of their sentences in home confinement or full release into parole.

    At the time, proponents of the bill said this was all about reducing the prison population of first-time, low-level, non-violent drug offenders. At the time, I explained in an exhaustive series of articles on the bill and the broader issues that those serving time in the federal system on drug, weapons, and racketeering charges are neither first-time, non-violent, nor low-level. I pointed out that if your goal is reducing the prison population rather than preserving public safety, then by definition, you would have to release violent prisoners, especially those in the federal system.

    Whoever heard of Quinnipiac University and their poll and what poll could be taken seriously that rates Jimmy Carter in the top ten?

    I was around during the Carter years. He was a nice guy, but completely out of his depth as president. He was only elected in a backlash over the Nixon Pardon. He should have stayed on the peanut farm in Georgia.

    Under him, we had a gas crisis and a hostage crisis with Iran. He failed to support Samoza in Nicaragua which led to 10 years of civil wars in Central America--all avoidable.

    We also had high unemployment and high inflation. Reagan referred to those two stats as the Misery Index. He beat Carter (a sitting president) in a landslide (44 states to 6 states). That is Carter's show a approval.

    As for President Trump, putting a sitting president in a poll of former presidents after only two years in office has the lingering smell of anger still over Hillary.

    Give these pollsters a crying towel.

    For comparison, Kennedy's and Reagan's first two years were rocky. They would have rated at the bottom under similar circumstances.

    And comments like that is what cost Hillary the presidency. You leftists look down on people who only have a high school diploma and work a regular job. You all don't care and never did.

    No Trump actually cares about manufacturing jobs coming back. Obama said they were never coming back. You can some ways say Obama was a traitor. The dems signed NAFTA and was going to push for T.P.P if Hillary got elected. You guys don't give a **** about the middle class, never have. If you all did, you all would've fixed the trade mess that has been going on for the last 30 years.

    I liked Obama, but, that is a pretty shitty thing to say if he said jobs were never coming back, I like Obama, he had healthcare in mind.
    I liked the EU, I even voted to remain like my region voted to remain, but leave won.
    I'm now thankful for Brexit.
    I like the EU, but that doesn't mean I want to be in the EU.

    Towards a doctorate in philosophy? None. A doctorate in politics? Plenty. Which Maddow does have btw...not a doctorate in philosophy...

    And you did. Or are you really going to try to say otherwise?

    We're quite aware of what Trump has done in the past two and a half years.

    The bloodiest mass shootings in recent US history have happened under this presidents watch, does nothing to stick to the NRA. Tax cuts balloon national deficit, with a recession on the horizon. These aren't leftist talking points, they're facts. People are hungry for a democratic change like they were in 2008. I'll also bring up the transgender limitary ban the administration has pushed, the attack on women's reproductive rights from Ohio down to Alabama, an uber-conservative Supreme Court,, no replacement for either the TPP or Climate Accord, a self-inflicted trade war that will hit Americans this holiday season. Of course then there's the travel bans shot down coast to coast by the courts. Higher turnover in this administration compared to the past two, a "zero tolerance" immigration policy that has been decried by both sides (look up Laura Bush's response to Border Patrol's separation at the border).

    We're quite aware of what Trump has done to America in the past two and a half years. To believe otherwise is almost tapping into willful ignorance.

    • Trump isn't responsible for mass shootings
    • The NRA isn't responsible for mass shootings
    • Tax cuts aren't responsible for the deficits. Spending is.
    • What recession?
    • Abortion is the antithesis of reproduction.
    • If Hillary was president, then we would have an uber-liberal SCOTUS and you would be happy.
    • We don't need TPP.
    • We don't need the Paris Climate accord.
    • We need to level the playing field with regards to trade.
    • Many court losses have been at the lower courts and haven't even reached the SCOTUS yet. Why don't you wait and see?
    Here's Obama's court win/loss record as of July 2016...
