The Pew quote is accurate — 69%/71% among Republicans, March 16-22. But two things the post leaves out. First, that’s the high-water mark, and it’s already eroding. Pew’s two-month follow-up (early May) shows nearly a third of Republicans (32%) now disapprove of his handling, and Marist has GOP disapproval up from 15% to 22% since March. The ‘backdrop’ is moving. Second, and more important for the prediction: the post assumes the only base risk is looking weak on Israel by ending the war badly. But the newer numbers show the opposite pressure building. In Marist’s May poll, 25% of Republicans now say the war did more harm than good, and the share of Republicans who think the war weakened America’s global position doubled — 11% in January to 22% now. There’s growing base fatigue with the war’s costs, which pushes him toward ending it, not away. So Trump faces two base pressures, not one: don’t look weak on the ally, but also don’t keep owning a war a rising share of your own side thinks backfired. The post only counts the first. A prediction about whether he signs a ‘bad deal’ has to weigh both.

“You know that the constant bleating from the civil rights protestors is eroding support for it. You cannot continue to brow beat people and it not negatively impact your cause. And letting the black weirdness attach itself to the…lol. You’re doing it to you.” Sound good?

Given how fast we're eroding resources & eco-systems (our biophysical foundations) & given our state of extreme overshoot, I'm sure you'd agree that we must at least stabilise until green innovations catch up & make current scale sustainable? The gap between where innovation is at on this & its to make current scale sustainable is very wide & still widening. Our time is running out, so to me it makes sense to come at our situation (to narrow the gap) from both angles- innovation & #degrowth. Further growth just makes innovation's task more difficult- I would argue impossible as we surge further into overshoot by the day...

They finally developed the balls to do this. Immigrants were steadily eroding Swedish values.

So I guess you're chill with Digital ID, censorship, compelled and restricted speech and other forms of authoritarian overreach? Are you not valuing freedom at all? Don't you see it eroding at speeds never seen before?

You know that the constant bleating from Pride supporters is absolutely eroding support for the LGB. You cannot continue to brow beat people and it not negatively impact your cause. And letting tve TQIA complete weirdness attach itself to the LGB…lol. You’re doing it to you.

Point well taken. My favorite is when it’s not raining and it scrapes across the dry windscreen. I can literally hear the wipers eroding right before my eyes. 😎

Hi Lun, thank you for letting me know. My friend in Japan made this for me a while ago and I kept it as a thank you token for him. I agree with how AI is eroding art work but didn't connect the dots here. Thank you.

Eagerly edging and eroding time ⏳

No, you are further eroding the responsibilities of parents, and using "safety" as a disguise for harvesting the personal data of millions of adults. A cynical and desperate move from an authoritarian Prime Minister at the end of his career.

Many in Dare County say the recent disrepair of a jetty is part of the problem of the many houses that have fallen into the ocean at the hand of an eroding coastline in Buxton. Local leaders were able to move forward with getting a contractor to repair the structure, however, and contractors bid on the project earlier in June, with the lowest bidder getting the green light by county commissioners. But now there is one problem. The lowest bidder found out it is unfit for the job. wavy.com/news/north-carolina…

Doesn’t matter how hot it gets, wind is the death sentence for a putting surface, the grass isn’t strong or tall enough to hold the soil from eroding and exposing the root of the grass, even a little exposure will kill it

👉 China’s unilateral claim that it can “enforce the law” around Taiwan is an attempt to create a false impression of jurisdiction. Such actions constitute gray-zone harassment and cognitive warfare, with the objective of eroding Taiwan’s sovereignty & undermining regional peace.

George W. Bush: he got America in two no-win wars, killing and permanently injuring thousands of Americans; pushed through the Patriot Act, severely eroding our Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizures; heads the GOP's feckless gelding resistance to Trump & MAGA.

When #Ethiopia Sneezes, #Djibouti Catches a Cold DJIBOUTI — For a country that relies heavily on imports for nearly all of its food needs, Ethiopia's deepening economic crisis and soaring cost of living have inevitably spilled across the border, making life increasingly unbearable in Djibouti. Multiple reports from Djibouti point to a rapidly worsening cost of living crisis that is squeezing households, eroding purchasing power, and accelerating poverty in a country where many were already struggling to make ends meet.

These incidents represent widespread systemic threats to our constitutional republic. The U.S. Constitution guarantees every state a Republican Form of Government—rule by the sovereign will of citizens through verifiable, lawful elections. Colorado’s erroneous mailers to ~30,000 non-citizens, exposed voting system passwords for months, and inconsistent poll guidance in Texas and Iowa (provisionals for flagged non-citizens) illustrate repeated failures in basic safeguards. Even small-scale ineligible voting dilutes citizen votes in close races. Lax citizenship verification, database errors, and post-hoc provisional ballots create exploitable gaps and plausible deniability. Combined with partisan administration and eroding public trust, these normalize outcomes that may not reflect the legitimate electorate. Persistent negligence undermines consent of the governed. Without rigorous proof-of-citizenship, uniform security, and accountability, the republic’s foundation—equal citizen self-rule—erodes. These are not mere “errors” but widespread symptoms demanding urgent fixes to preserve constitutional integrity.

You supported the fall of Syria, clearing the way and granting israelis the ability to bomb Iran. Weakening Iran and eroding its leverage. You don't deserve answers for your "curiosity"
