Remember when Trump proudly retweeted the right leaning outliner Rasmussen poll that had him at 50% a month ago?
He is at 42% in the same one today. Odd that he hasn't mentioned it...no?

So now there's story and lawsuit alleging that Trump himself was involved with and told Fox to run the fake Seth Rich murder story a couple months ago?

I'm struggling to wrap my head around the idea that his approval ratings are that high. He is utterly lacking in redeeming qualities. I wouldn't hire him to mow my lawn, let alone vote for him to be president. Are there that many angry people in this country who just wanted to vote for the embodiment of their rage?
The majority of his base support comes from simple yokels that think chocolate milk comes from brown cows and that he is going to make America great again by building a wall."My brain's a good brain!"0 -

Those who think that Obama's presidency was solely to place Obamaphones in the hands of every black person who refuses to work.
Those who think that we can go back to the 50s, where entire communities work at the same factory, go to the same church, can leave doors unlocked, and cool apple pies on every windowsill
Those who hate people, especially politicians who are intellectual and educated.
Those who think we can go back to a time without smartphones, video games, and computers, and 10 year olds will be forced to do manual farm labor
Those who want to beat our chests and threaten to attack any nation or people at any perceived current or possible future slight.
Those elderlies who have been searching for another Eisenhower for 50-60 years and would believe a rock is Eisenhower if he was an Elephant and posed in front of troops rattling a bunch of sabers.0 -

The deep, dark, troubling part of the American psyche.

Nine years ago, Glenn Greenwald published a book, Great American Hypocrites, about our cultural/ political infatuation with the swaggering war hero stereotype. Think John Wayne; key point being that Wayne avoided combat at a time when his peers (such as actual war hero Jimmy Stewart) were fighting in WWII. But we love, we idealize, the loud swagger, regardless of what is real. In that vein, 45 is a loud, bullying, empty suit, all bluster, no substance, no muscle, just posturing.
From http://brooklynrail.org/2008/05/express/a-party-of-frauds :
<<<To this day, John Wayne is the prototype of the uber-patriotic, uber-masculine, uber-courageous Moral Republican Warrior. His imagery is the template that pioneered the brand and that the Right uses to this day to build up their political leaders. In 1995—18 years after his death—he remained the most admired film actor in America. The Los Angeles Times said that, even nearly two decades after his death, his image “exemplified the ideal American fighting man.” After 9/11, Peggy Noonan wrote a column hailing the return of “the Duke”—of “real men” who bellow: “Yer in a whole lotta trouble now, Osama-boy.”Yet John Wayne was one of America’s biggest and most repugnant frauds—in exactly the way that most modern right-wing leaders are. At a time when virtually nobody avoided combat, Wayne did exactly that, using the most dishonorable means imaginable, throughout all of World War II. Because the most successful male actors, including older ones, went to fight, he was able to stay in Hollywood and become extremely rich playing war heroes. He spent the rest of his life glorifying every American war and accusing war opponents of being cowards, Communists and traitors. He crusaded for traditional American morality, attacking others whom he perceived to deviate, while he engaged in compulsive womanizing and adultery, repeatedly breaking up his own family, and wallowing in pill addictions. Before there was Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney, Newt Gingrich, George Bush, Bill Kristol, David Vitter, and even John McCain—there was John Wayne. One finds key parts of Wayne in each of them. To this day, he’s the role model for how the Right conducts itself and the methods they use to swindle the American public.>>>
More here: http://www.antiwar.com/orig/greenwald.php
And while Greenwald is specifically attacking Republicans/ conservatives for this behavior, I think there is an important lesson in critical thinking here for all of us.
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.0 -

Is the reporter's chief criticism that of glorifying warriors, or that some warriors are frauds. I would ague both have been a part of human nature for almost 3k years+0

anyone have any thoughts on why Congress let the office of independent counsel die in 1999? why would Congress let a very powerful check and balance to the president expire? an office for Congress independent of the AG and DoJ? if it were still around today, we wouldn't be having any conversation about Trump firing Sessions and orMueller, we wouldn't be talking about a president trying to "dictate prosecution". maybe preet knows

I think the only way Trump can salvage a chance at 2020 is for a war/large scale military action where many people unite behind him, like GWB in 2001. I wouldn't put it past him and Bannon to fabricate a pretext for war (if we arent witnessing it with NK).
