Another attempt to dismantle the legacy of the negro President and Government Motors.
General Motors warned Friday that if President Trump pushed ahead with another wave of tariffs, the move could backfire, leading to “less investment, fewer jobs and lower wages” for its employees.
The automaker said that the president’s threat to impose tariffs on imports of cars and car parts — along with an earlier spate of penalties — could drive vehicle prices up by thousands of dollars. The “hardest hit” cars, General Motors said in comments submitted to the Commerce Department, are likely to be the ones bought by consumers who can least afford an increase. Demand would suffer and production would slow, all of which “could lead to a smaller G.M.”
The president has promoted tariffs as a way to protect American businesses and workers, aiming at dozens of nations with metal tariffs, as well as bringing broader levies against Chinese goods. But companies, which rely on other markets for sales, production and materials, have been increasingly vocal about the potential damage from his policies.
The warning by G.M., echoed in comments by trade groups and other automakers, could test the president’s aggressive approach to trade and his commitment to business. In the past, Mr. Trump has lauded General Motors for its job creation and vowed to defend the auto industry.
“The deficit, which was one of the other criticism, is coming down, and it's coming down rapidly.”
— Larry Kudlow, the White House economic adviser, in an interview with Fox Business Network on Friday
THE FACTS
False. Mr. Kudlow observed the six-month anniversary of President Trump’s tax cuts with an incorrect claim, saying the federal budget deficit is “rapidly” decreasing. Three sources of government data show otherwise.
An April report from the Congressional Budget Office projected that the federal deficit will rise from $665 billion in fiscal year 2017, which ended on Sept. 30., to $804 billion during the 2018 fiscal year.
In an analysis published this week, the C.B.O. said that “deficits would rise from 3.9 percent of the gross domestic product in 2018 to 9.5 percent in 2048.” According to the agency, the tax cuts add $1.27 trillion to the deficit over the next decade — even with economic growth factored in.
Additionally, the Treasury Department reported in May that the federal deficit had reached $532 billion so far in the 2018 fiscal year, up from $385 billion in April. The deficit was larger in March ($600 billion) because the government collects taxes in April. (By comparison, the deficit had reached $433 billion in May 2017, and $344 billion in April 2017.)
ADVERTISEMENT
And the Office of Management and Budget estimated in February that the deficit will continue to rise — from $655 billion in 2017, to $833 billion in 2018, to $984 billion in 2019.
Mr. Kudlow subsequently tried to amend his remarks, telling several news outlets that he was referring to future budget deficits, which he believes will come down as a result of economic growth and investment.

OTTAWA, June 29 (Reuters) - Canada struck back at the Trump administration over U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs on Friday, vowing to impose punitive measures on C$16.6 billion ($12.63 billion) worth of American goods until Washington relents.
The announcement by Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland marks a new low in ties between the neighbors and trading partners which have become increasingly strained since U.S. President Donald Trump took power in January 2017.
The Canadian tariffs will come into effect on July 1 and largely target U.S. steel and aluminum products, but also foodstuffs such as coffee, ketchup and whiskies, according to a list by the Department of Finance. https://tinyurl.com/y8w5g895
"We will not escalate and we will not back down," Freeland told reporters at a Stelco Holdings Inc plant in the Ontario steel city of Hamilton.
Officials say the measures are designed in part to pressure Trump by focusing on goods from states where his political allies hold sway.
AND AGAIN-- North Korea Has Increased Nuclear Production
“U.S. intelligence agencies believe that North Korea has increased its production of fuel for nuclear weapons at multiple secret sites in recent months — and that Kim Jong Un may try to hide those facilities as he seeks more concessions in nuclear talks with the Trump administration,” NBC News reports.
“The intelligence assessment, which has not previously been reported, seems to counter the sentiments expressed by President Trump, who tweeted after his historic June 12 summit with Kim that ‘there was no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea.'” _____________________

Leftist Far Ahead In Mexico
New York Times: “As corruption and violence gnaw at Mexico’s patience, voters have turned to a familiar face in Mr. López Obrador, a three-time candidate for president who once shut down Mexico City for months after a narrow loss, refusing to accept defeat.
“Brandishing a deep connection with the poor, built over more than a decade of visits to every corner of this country of 120 million, he has managed a staggering lead ahead of Sunday’s vote.
“If the poll numbers bear out on Election Day, Mr. López Obrador — who has promised to sell the presidential plane and convert the opulent presidential palace into a public park — could win by a landslide, putting a leftist leader in charge of Latin America’s second-largest country for the first time in decades.”
Experts eye prospects for change in Iran at big Paris exile conference - with some praise for Trump
Baird praised Iran for its phenomenal history and its great people and education. “The only thing holding the people of Iran back are the mullahs,” Baird said. “We must rally these people to come together and fight for a better future.”
“It’s the first time in 65 years that a American president understands something about Iran,” said Yves Bonnet, former Governor and Head of France’s Internal Security Service (D.S.T.)
James - I believe that there is still a nuclear threat from Korea, but most certainly I am way less worried about it today than I was a couple of years ago. Mostly because Kim Jung Un is the sort of guy who wants to be an international player, and he is starting to realize that he will truly only get there when his economy catches up to this military. Trump is wisely appealing to Kim's ego and using that ego for international advantage. The public statements are meant to stroke Kim's ego as much as it is to stroke Trump's own ego (there certainly is enough ego to go around).
You need to both carry the big stick and dangle the carrot (reduction of sanctions). Trump made a future promise (to halt military training exercises not scheduled for several months) if Kim made immediate concessions.
Our previous President did the opposite. He gave up our concessions up front, while only being able to hope that Iran followed through with their future promises.
I am pretty sure you would see the difference is you didn't assume that the former law professor was a master negotiator, and the author of the "art of the deal" and multi-billionaire businessman couldn't tell the difference between a negotiation tactic and his ass.
US ambassador to Estonia resigns in frustration over Trump
James D. Melville Jr.'s resignation, first reported by Foreign Policy magazine, makes him the third ambassador in the last year to leave the State Department early. He is among many senior State Department officials who have headed for the exits or been pushed toward them since Trump assumed office.
….Foreign Policy quoted from a private post on Melville's Facebook page in which the seasoned diplomat referred to the President's comments about Europe in explaining his decision to retire early.
"A Foreign Service Officer's DNA is programmed to support policy and we're schooled right from the start, that if there ever comes a point where one can no longer do so, particularly if one is in a position of leadership, the honorable course is to resign," the magazine quotes Melville's post as saying. "Having served under six presidents and 11 secretaries of state, I never really thought it would reach that point for me.
"For the President to say the EU was 'set up to take advantage of the United States, to attack our piggy bank,' or that 'NATO is as bad as NAFTA' is not only factually wrong, but proves to me that it's time to go," Melville said in the post.
Melville is only the latest foreign service officer to leave in a department where the senior ranks have been deeply depleted and even rising stars have resigned rather than serve the President.
I am way less worried about it today than I was a couple of years ago.
Well good for you....I'm sure the So Ko's and Japan may have other thoughts.....When was the last time No Ko did what they promised??? You think that tenet has changed? If you do, I know a bridge in Minneapolis for sale....

Ch, it's strange how most of the world's diplomats see Trump's handling of this as FAR worse than what Obama did, which they still support.
Well I guess if it was your job to negotiate pricing contracts with your vendors and the vendors all complained that the previous negotiators were better for them...
Most companies would give you raise and figure you are doing a good job.
Only in the world of liberal policies do we want the President of the United State to appease everyone else, rather than look out for our own country.
So if your viewpoint is one of appeasement and taking it up the rump to satisfy the "rest of the world" - Then Obama was your man.
i don't deny the holocaust alky. but is was a reliably liberal university - columbia - who invited noted holocaust denier machmood immadinnerjacket to speak to its faculty,staff, and students.
So if the answer is that we need those three things to happen for a course correction, I'd prefer to move a little quicker. How about that? But I take your point. Maybe we can have, like, a nuclear war and then we get a real course correction.
This is just as bad as the Japanese concentration camp by FDR. We are not at war with the immigrant population of Central America. Except for people like rrb who want them to be shot and left to rot.
The Trump administration plans to detain migrant families together in custody rather than release them, according to a new court filing that suggests such detentions could last longer than the 20 days envisioned by a court settlement.
“The government will not separate families but detain families together during the pendency of immigration proceedings when they are apprehended at or between ports of entry,” Justice Department lawyers wrote in a legal notice to a federal judge in California who has been overseeing long-running litigation about the detention of undocumented immigrants.
Obama was my hero because he rescued General Motors and his successor has an obsession about the negro President. It will cost the jobs of many people who voted for Trump. General Motors warned Friday that if President Trump pushed ahead with another wave of tariffs, the move could backfire, leading to “less investment, fewer jobs and lower wages” for its employees.
The automaker said that the president’s threat to impose tariffs on imports of cars and car parts — along with an earlier spate of penalties — could drive vehicle prices up by thousands of dollars.

“Let’s give it up for the real president of the United States,” Perez said at Thursday’s fundraiser, Politico reported.
Obama reportedly then told the crowd of Democratic donors that they are “right to be concerned” about Trump’s presidency."

U.S. intelligence officials, citing newly obtained evidence, have concluded that North Korea does not intend to fully surrender its nuclear stockpile, and instead is considering ways to conceal the number of weapons it has and secret production facilities, according to U.S. officials.
The evidence, collected in the wake of the June 12 summit in Singapore, points to preparations to deceive the United States about the number of nuclear warheads in North Korea’s arsenal as well as the existence of undisclosed facilities used to make fissile material for nuclear bombs, the officials said.
The findings support a new, previously undisclosed Defense Intelligence Agency estimate that North Korea is unlikely to denuclearize. The assessment stands in stark contrast to President Trump’s exuberant comments following the summit, when he declared on Twitter that “there is no longer a nuclear threat” from North Korea. At a recent rally, he also said he had “great success’’ with Pyongyang.

The lies continue on and on and on....now the saudi oil increase promise turns out to be complete bullshit....nothing but slurping continues here from the sycophants....
The White House late Saturday issued a statement backing down from Donald Trump’s earlier tweet indicating that he had convinced Saudi Arabia’s king to produce as much as 2 million barrels of additional oil a day to bring prices down.
The White House statement said instead that while King Salman bin Abdulaziz confirmed his country has the extra production capacity, the Saudis will “prudently” use it “if and when necessary to ensure market balance and stability, and in coordination with its producer partners, to respond to any eventuality.”
Saudi Arabia regulates its oil production in agreement with other members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
This present strain of know-nothingism has long been in the party's DNA. This cancer has always been there. This dormant cancer. But it has become fully embraced in this moment. We're seeing at this moment a president of the United States do five things. He is using mass rallies that are fueled by constant lying to incite fervor and devotion in his political base. The second thing we see him do is to affix blame for every problem in the world. Many of them are complex, not so different from the issues faced at the end of Agrarian age and the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. We see him attack minority populations with words like "invade" and "infest." The third thing he does is a create a shared sense of victimization caused by the scapegoated populations. This is the high act of Trumpism: From Trump to Sean Hannity to Laura Ingraham, everyone is a victim. The fourth thing he does is he alleges conspiracy by nefarious and unseen hidden forces – the "deep state." And the fifth thing is the assertion that "I am the law, that I am above it." He just said immigrants don't get a hearing; they don't get a court representation.
Is this the beginning of an exodus away from the Democrat Party?
It might be too good to be true, but maybe in an age where Donald J. Trump can win the 2016 election as a Republican, the party that had to cheat in their own primary to nominate Crooked Hillary might be in bigger trouble than I’d dared to imagine.
If you’re on the right (or a sane independent), you’ve probably wondered how millions of Americans can continue to be Democrats.
The crazy has been building for a long time.
Yes, I can see the historic backbone of the Democrat party #walkaway.

To understand the madness gripping American leftists, try to see the world through their eyes. Presto, you’re now part of the raging resistance.
Like the Palestinians who mark Israel’s birth as their nakba, or tragedy, you regard Donald Trump’s 2016 victory as a catastrophe. It’s the last thing you think of most nights, and the first thing most mornings.
You can’t shake it or escape it. Whatever you watch, listen to or read, there are reminders — Donald Trump really is president
You actually believe The New York Times is too nice to him, so you understand why a Manhattan woman urged a reporter there to stop covering Trump to protest his presidency.
And where the hell is Robert Mueller? He was supposed to save us from this nightmare — that’s what Chuck Schumer banked on. Well?
You spend your tax cut even as you rail against the man who made it happen. And you are pleased that cousin Jimmy finally got a job, though you repeat the daily devotional that Barack Obama deserves credit for the roaring economy.
And now this — Justice Anthony Kennedy is retiring, and Trump gets another Supreme Court pick. The court might tilt right for the rest of your life. He’s winning.

When Trump hit a personal best 45% overall approval rating last week in Gallup’s weekly tracking poll, boosted by a 90% approval rating among Republicans, achorusofanxiousTrumpdetractors asked: “How can this be?”
Easy come, easy poll: on Monday, Gallup had Trump back down at 41%, as Americans learned more about his policy of separating migrant families at the US border. In fact, Trump’s approval rating during his first term has been “incredibly stable” within a band from about 36% to 43%, polling analyst Harry Enten and others have pointed out.
Under normal circumstances, an overall approval rating much under 50% would spell doom for an incumbent president, ruling out re-election. And 90% in-party support is not unusual in recent presidential cycles.
“Even if they say Trump is going down, that he’s going to be impeached – don’t listen. Democrats don’t get out the vote. We do not band together. We don’t have a playbook like them [Republicans]. So don’t listen to the polls. Unless we show up, we’ll lose.”
Some voters find it hard to understand how Trump could maintain such strong support from Republicans. But while Trump is an unusual president, in terms of his political style and conduct, certain features of his presidency, such as his robust party support, are true to historical patterns, said Lynn Vavreck, a professor of political science at the University of California-Los Angeles.
“I think the problem is that people want to think that Trump should be different, and that he shouldn’t have the same approval rating as a ‘typical’ Republican president,” Vavreck said.
“But he is the president, he is a Republican, so it’s a little bit like the counter-question is: ‘Why would we expect him to look different?’ The answer to that is that he behaves differently. But that party label is still really important to people.”
In positive news for critics of the president, robust support from the Republican party might not be what it used to be, as the party shows signs of shrinkage. Democrats have built a seven-point advantage in registered voters, according to Gallup’s tracking poll, up from two in November 2016.
In today’s GOP, which is the president’s plaything, he is the mainstream George Will And Republicans are suffering high-profile defections, recently including Steve Schmidt, who ran the 2008 John McCain presidential campaign and worked in George W Bush’s White House. In his most recent Washington Post column, the renowned conservative commentator George Will urged fellow Republicans to vote Democratic in the midterm elections.

James - Last time I checked we were still employing all of our sanctions against North Korea, until there is a time when everyone can confirm that they have disabled everything.
Unlike our previous arrangement with Iran (for example) where we lifted sanctions while simultaneously allowing them to continue with their nuclear program (just in a slower manner).
Tell us why it was okay for Obama to (without congressional approval and against congressional will) lift sanctions against Iran for promises of next to nothing....
But you seem to have an issue with the very concept that Trump is talking to North Korea and has not yet even bargained away a single sanction?
The only one being naive here is you.

Leftist Far Ahead In Mexico
New York Times: “As corruption and violence gnaw at Mexico’s patience, voters have turned to a familiar face in Mr. López Obrador, a three-time candidate for president who once shut down Mexico City for months after a narrow loss, refusing to accept defeat.
“Brandishing a deep connection with the poor, built over more than a decade of visits to every corner of this country of 120 million, he has managed a staggering lead ahead of Sunday’s vote.
“If the poll numbers bear out on Election Day, Mr. López Obrador — who has promised to sell the presidential plane and convert the opulent presidential palace into a public park — could win by a landslide, putting a leftist leader in charge of Latin America’s second-largest country for the first time in decades.”
8:48 constitutes a telling response.
There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea.
Experts eye prospects for change in Iran at big Paris exile conference - with some praise for Trump
Baird praised Iran for its phenomenal history and its great people and education. “The only thing holding the people of Iran back are the mullahs,” Baird said. “We must rally these people to come together and fight for a better future.”
“It’s the first time in 65 years that a American president understands something about Iran,” said Yves Bonnet, former Governor and Head of France’s Internal Security Service (D.S.T.)

Let's get by Obama, he may have been a failure but he was the first black president.
See, two can play at that game
ROFLMFAO !!!
James - I believe that there is still a nuclear threat from Korea, but most certainly I am way less worried about it today than I was a couple of years ago. Mostly because Kim Jung Un is the sort of guy who wants to be an international player, and he is starting to realize that he will truly only get there when his economy catches up to this military. Trump is wisely appealing to Kim's ego and using that ego for international advantage. The public statements are meant to stroke Kim's ego as much as it is to stroke Trump's own ego (there certainly is enough ego to go around).
You need to both carry the big stick and dangle the carrot (reduction of sanctions). Trump made a future promise (to halt military training exercises not scheduled for several months) if Kim made immediate concessions.
Our previous President did the opposite. He gave up our concessions up front, while only being able to hope that Iran followed through with their future promises.
I am pretty sure you would see the difference is you didn't assume that the former law professor was a master negotiator, and the author of the "art of the deal" and multi-billionaire businessman couldn't tell the difference between a negotiation tactic and his ass.

US ambassador to Estonia resigns in frustration over Trump
James D. Melville Jr.'s resignation, first reported by Foreign Policy magazine, makes him the third ambassador in the last year to leave the State Department early. He is among many senior State Department officials who have headed for the exits or been pushed toward them since Trump assumed office.
….Foreign Policy quoted from a private post on Melville's Facebook page in which the seasoned diplomat referred to the President's comments about Europe in explaining his decision to retire early.
"A Foreign Service Officer's DNA is programmed to support policy and we're schooled right from the start, that if there ever comes a point where one can no longer do so, particularly if one is in a position of leadership, the honorable course is to resign," the magazine quotes Melville's post as saying. "Having served under six presidents and 11 secretaries of state, I never really thought it would reach that point for me.
"For the President to say the EU was 'set up to take advantage of the United States, to attack our piggy bank,' or that 'NATO is as bad as NAFTA' is not only factually wrong, but proves to me that it's time to go," Melville said in the post.
Melville is only the latest foreign service officer to leave in a department where the senior ranks have been deeply depleted and even rising stars have resigned rather than serve the President.
Ch, it's strange how most of the world's diplomats see Trump's handling of this as FAR worse than what Obama did, which they still support.

Only in the world of liberal policies do we want the President of the United State to appease everyone else, rather than look out for our own country.
So if your viewpoint is one of appeasement and taking it up the rump to satisfy the "rest of the world" - Then Obama was your man.

indeed.
and i am hoping that the alky can clear something up for us...
liberals continuously rant about how much america sucks, we're fascist, homophobic, xenophobic, colonialist, etc., etc., etc...
...then why would they encourage even a SINGLE immigrant to come here if we suck so fucking bad?
i don't deny the holocaust alky. but is was a reliably liberal university - columbia - who invited noted holocaust denier machmood immadinnerjacket to speak to its faculty,staff, and students.
apparently you're psychologically projecting again.
you've been doing a lot of that lately.

So if the answer is that we need those three things to happen for a course correction, I'd prefer to move a little quicker. How about that? But I take your point. Maybe we can have, like, a nuclear war and then we get a real course correction.

Trump's Concentration Camps.
This is just as bad as the Japanese concentration camp by FDR. We are not at war with the immigrant population of Central America. Except for people like rrb who want them to be shot and left to rot.
The Trump administration plans to detain migrant families together in custody rather than release them, according to a new court filing that suggests such detentions could last longer than the 20 days envisioned by a court settlement.
“The government will not separate families but detain families together during the pendency of immigration proceedings when they are apprehended at or between ports of entry,” Justice Department lawyers wrote in a legal notice to a federal judge in California who has been overseeing long-running litigation about the detention of undocumented immigrants.
The enemy of the country Washington Post.
Obama was my hero because he rescued General Motors and his successor has an obsession about the negro President. It will cost the jobs of many people who voted for Trump.
General Motors warned Friday that if President Trump pushed ahead with another wave of tariffs, the move could backfire, leading to “less investment, fewer jobs and lower wages” for its employees.
The automaker said that the president’s threat to impose tariffs on imports of cars and car parts — along with an earlier spate of penalties — could drive vehicle prices up by thousands of dollars. The “hardest hit” cars, General Motors said in comments submitted to the Commerce Department, are likely to be the ones bought by consumers who can least afford an increase. Demand would suffer and production would slow, all of which “could lead to a smaller G.M.”
The president has promoted tariffs as a way to protect American businesses and workers, aiming at dozens of nations with metal tariffs, as well as bringing broader levies against Chinese goods. But companies, which rely on other markets for sales, production and materials, have been increasingly vocal about the potential damage from his policies.
The warning by G.M., echoed in comments by trade groups and other automakers, could test the president’s aggressive approach to trade and his commitment to business. In the past, Mr. Trump has lauded General Motors for its job creation and vowed to defend the auto industry.
The White House wouldn't respond.

29 years and nine months ago I registered to vote and became a member of The Republican Party which was founded in 1854 to oppose slavery and stand for the dignity of human life. Today I renounce my membership in the Republican Party. It is fully the party of Trump.

How am I doing? Excellent. I just went to the AA birthday meeting tonight. I got my six year chip. One of the speakers was 40 years sober. He was funny. I got a nice round of applause after I shared some of my stories.
The President has been been taken again.
U.S. intelligence officials, citing newly obtained evidence, have concluded that North Korea does not intend to fully surrender its nuclear stockpile, and instead is considering ways to conceal the number of weapons it has and secret production facilities, according to U.S. officials.
The evidence, collected in the wake of the June 12 summit in Singapore, points to preparations to deceive the United States about the number of nuclear warheads in North Korea’s arsenal as well as the existence of undisclosed facilities used to make fissile material for nuclear bombs, the officials said.
The findings support a new, previously undisclosed Defense Intelligence Agency estimate that North Korea is unlikely to denuclearize.
The assessment stands in stark contrast to President Trump’s exuberant comments following the summit, when he declared on Twitter that “there is no longer a nuclear threat” from North Korea. At a recent rally, he also said he had “great success’’ with Pyongyang.
He's a great guy!
Yep....head line from WA PO

Certainly it's not like Obama being taken by the Iranians.

The lies continue on and on and on....now the saudi oil increase promise turns out to be complete bullshit....nothing but slurping continues here from the sycophants....
The White House late Saturday issued a statement backing down from Donald Trump’s earlier tweet indicating that he had convinced Saudi Arabia’s king to produce as much as 2 million barrels of additional oil a day to bring prices down.
The White House statement said instead that while King Salman bin Abdulaziz confirmed his country has the extra production capacity, the Saudis will “prudently” use it “if and when necessary to ensure market balance and stability, and in coordination with its producer partners, to respond to any eventuality.”
Saudi Arabia regulates its oil production in agreement with other members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
Steve Schmidt is right.
This present strain of know-nothingism has long been in the party's DNA.
This cancer has always been there. This dormant cancer. But it has become fully embraced in this moment. We're seeing at this moment a president of the United States do five things. He is using mass rallies that are fueled by constant lying to incite fervor and devotion in his political base. The second thing we see him do is to affix blame for every problem in the world. Many of them are complex, not so different from the issues faced at the end of Agrarian age and the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. We see him attack minority populations with words like "invade" and "infest." The third thing he does is a create a shared sense of victimization caused by the scapegoated populations. This is the high act of Trumpism: From Trump to Sean Hannity to Laura Ingraham, everyone is a victim. The fourth thing he does is he alleges conspiracy by nefarious and unseen hidden forces – the "deep state." And the fifth thing is the assertion that "I am the law, that I am above it." He just said immigrants don't get a hearing; they don't get a court representation.
Steve Schmidt hasn't been right ever since he sent McCain's presidential campaign down in flames.
Schmidt ought thank Trump. Because of his win, Schmidt is now known to run only the second worse presidential campaign in history.
Robby Mook took that crown away from him in 2016.
This describes S. Scott to a tee.
McCain chose Sarah Palin
He fucked up his own campaign.
And as usual proves his point. To disagree with the President is a mental health problem in your Trumpism inflected your mind.

Is this the beginning of an exodus away from the Democrat Party?
It might be too good to be true, but maybe in an age where Donald J. Trump can win the 2016 election as a Republican, the party that had to cheat in their own primary to nominate Crooked Hillary might be in bigger trouble than I’d dared to imagine.
If you’re on the right (or a sane independent), you’ve probably wondered how millions of Americans can continue to be Democrats.
The crazy has been building for a long time.
Yes, I can see the historic backbone of the Democrat party #walkaway.
Despite Roger's delusional thinking.
"#walkaway"

Strange bedfellows:
#WalkAway. I was a Bernie supporter. The Dems colluded against him and us with rigged primaries. Bernie laid down. The Clinton criminals corrupted the Dems and the Bushes corrupted the Repubs. They are all part of the same evil system. Drain the swamp! long live Donald Trump!

I disagree. Bernie had huge momentum and crowds. He would have pulled a lot of trumps anti establishment vote.
The left needs to face reality: Trump is Winning
To understand the madness gripping American leftists, try to see the world through their eyes. Presto, you’re now part of the raging resistance.
Like the Palestinians who mark Israel’s birth as their nakba, or tragedy, you regard Donald Trump’s 2016 victory as a catastrophe. It’s the last thing you think of most nights, and the first thing most mornings.
You can’t shake it or escape it. Whatever you watch, listen to or read, there are reminders — Donald Trump really is president
You actually believe The New York Times is too nice to him, so you understand why a Manhattan woman urged a reporter there to stop covering Trump to protest his presidency.
And where the hell is Robert Mueller? He was supposed to save us from this nightmare — that’s what Chuck Schumer banked on. Well?
You spend your tax cut even as you rail against the man who made it happen. And you are pleased that cousin Jimmy finally got a job, though you repeat the daily devotional that Barack Obama deserves credit for the roaring economy.
And now this — Justice Anthony Kennedy is retiring, and Trump gets another Supreme Court pick. The court might tilt right for the rest of your life. He’s winning.
NOOOOOOOOO!!!
Sound familiar? Raging TDS was on display yesterday.
WOW Doug Shulse sure seems as mainstream as you, menstral.....who gives a shit?????

When Trump hit a personal best 45% overall approval rating last week in Gallup’s weekly tracking poll, boosted by a 90% approval rating among Republicans, achorusofanxiousTrumpdetractors asked: “How can this be?”
Easy come, easy poll: on Monday, Gallup had Trump back down at 41%, as Americans learned more about his policy of separating migrant families at the US border. In fact, Trump’s approval rating during his first term has been “incredibly stable” within a band from about 36% to 43%, polling analyst Harry Enten and others have pointed out.
Under normal circumstances, an overall approval rating much under 50% would spell doom for an incumbent president, ruling out re-election. And 90% in-party support is not unusual in recent presidential cycles.
“Even if they say Trump is going down, that he’s going to be impeached – don’t listen. Democrats don’t get out the vote. We do not band together. We don’t have a playbook like them [Republicans]. So don’t listen to the polls. Unless we show up, we’ll lose.”
Some voters find it hard to understand how Trump could maintain such strong support from Republicans. But while Trump is an unusual president, in terms of his political style and conduct, certain features of his presidency, such as his robust party support, are true to historical patterns, said Lynn Vavreck, a professor of political science at the University of California-Los Angeles.
“I think the problem is that people want to think that Trump should be different, and that he shouldn’t have the same approval rating as a ‘typical’ Republican president,” Vavreck said.
“But he is the president, he is a Republican, so it’s a little bit like the counter-question is: ‘Why would we expect him to look different?’ The answer to that is that he behaves differently. But that party label is still really important to people.”
In positive news for critics of the president, robust support from the Republican party might not be what it used to be, as the party shows signs of shrinkage. Democrats have built a seven-point advantage in registered voters, according to Gallup’s tracking poll, up from two in November 2016.
In today’s GOP, which is the president’s plaything, he is the mainstream George Will
And Republicans are suffering high-profile defections, recently including Steve Schmidt, who ran the 2008 John McCain presidential campaign and worked in George W Bush’s White House. In his most recent Washington Post column, the renowned conservative commentator George Will urged fellow Republicans to vote Democratic in the midterm elections.
