I'm not rich and I got a tax cut! And I'm NOT complaining!
And I got the largest raise I've gotten in 7 years because the owner/my company got a tax break.

Huh that's interesting. I didn't get a raise from my boss because of the tax break.
Company wide employees got larger than normal raises and cost of living adjustments. I'm sure it's not like that everywhere though. Hopefully a lot of places though.

We got a one time $1,000 bonus after the payout to the rich folks and , which of course was taxed at the fed supplemental rate of 25%.

Imagine how much of a tax break my company had to get to give each of our 5,000+ employees a $1,000 bonus. If everyone in the company got that same bonus, then that's $5 million in bonuses for those who don't feel like doing math on a Sunday.

And like I said, that one time bonus doesn't cover even half of the amount that my taxes will go up this year.

That's withholding. Bonus isn't taxed different than any other wages.

the tweet doesn't say "biggest drop," it says, "now the most unpopular."

but according to the negative numbers, there's still somebody that's still more unpopularer...

I deleted....but I'm guessing it's because he's got a bigger favorable rating. That's why he isn't the most unpopular.

Even the dems hate pelosi.

that could be argued among the reasons why I don't think the left could ever produce a candidate quite like Trump.

libs seem less afraid to criticize their own, while conservatives remain in lockstep.

and either way, there's still only one politician in the poll of whom a majority thinks negatively.

Polls: highly unreliable. Formed to influence or disparage politicians. How can anyone believe in'em?
Especially that one in 2016 that had Hilldawg at a 90% chance to win. LOL

Though it's unclear the extent of damage inside the park, photos have shown graffiti and felled Joshua trees. Three hundred years to recover, and they say Trump has an issue with hyperbole.
