1/27/21: In a poll out today, by Hill-Harris, Joe Biden gets a 63% approval rating. That mark is higher than any single approval rating Reject-President Trump achieved in his four years in office.
The best he ever scored was 57%, in a Rasmussen poll taken after four days in the White House. A week later, Trump was down to 53% and would never again have an approval vs. disapproval rating in any poll better than +6.
Apparently, for now, most Americans are satisfied just to
have a president who acts like a normal person.

“A crime punishable by death is what treason is.”
BY CONTRAST, in crazy-person news, a close study of the Facebook page of recently elected GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene indicates that as recently as 2019, she favored execution of select Democratic lawmakers.
As CNN reports,
In one post, from January 2019,
Greene liked a comment that said “a bullet to the head would be quicker” to
remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In other posts, Greene liked comments about
executing F.B.I. agents who, in her eyes, were part of the “deep state” working
against Trump.

Greene is for killing a lot of Americans. |
In another Facebook post from April 2018, Greene found fault with the Iran Deal, worked out by President Obama three years earlier. A commenter asked Greene, “Now do we get to hang them?? Meaning H & O ???.”
Greene, who has insisted since running for office that she isn’t really a QAnon believer, responded as if she were. Would Hillary Clinton and Obama soon meet their maker at the end of a rope? “Stage is being set,” she replied. “Players are being put in place. We must be patient. This must be done perfectly or liberal judges would let them off.”
In right-wing nutjob land, anything CNN says will be challenged
as “Fake News.” Yet, when reached for comment, Greene did not deny the accuracy
of their report. She simply claimed that over the years she had had many aides “manage”
her Facebook account. If aides were the problem, you had to think Greene needed
better aides. Or at least glasses to see what they wrote.
Media Matters also did a search of Greene’s social media accounts. In 2018, we know she called the Parkland High School massacre a “false flag.” She suggested that David Hogg, who became the face of student protest against gun violence in the wake of that bloodbath, was “a bought and paid little pawn” and a “#littleHitler.”
Then you had a video that Greene posted. In this case, you could watch Greene’s lips move and hear words spill out. Stupid words, true. Unless she wanted to claim that she had an aide who was a ventriloquist, this was what Greene believed should happen to Speaker Pelosi:
She’s a traitor to our country,
she’s guilty of treason. She took an oath to protect American citizens and
uphold our laws. And she gives aid and comfort to our enemies who illegally
invade our land. That’s what treason is. And by our law representatives and
senators can be kicked out and no longer serve in our government. And it’s, uh,
it’s a crime punishable by death is what treason is. Nancy Pelosi is guilty of
treason.

IN EVEN CRAZIER-PERSON NEWS, the Department of Homeland Security has issued a Terrorism Advisory Bulletin, to remain in effect until August 1, 2021. DHS believes this threat,
will persist in the weeks following the
successful Presidential Inauguration. Information suggests that some
ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of
governmental authority and the presidential transition, as well as other
perceived grievances fueled by false narratives, could continue to mobilize to
incite or commit violence.
Or another way to put it, Rep. Greene’s kind
of people, threatening harm to the rest of us.
