A new polling low for Trump: Just 16 percent ‘like’ his conduct as president

A new poll from the Pew Research Center also found that, among Republicans and Republican-leaning voters, just 34 percent liked the president's conduct.

Senior White House aides are increasingly airing their private disagreements publicly

Among allies of the president, the emerging voices of dissent are being likened to a “mutiny” by disloyal aides. But so far, Trump has not taken any action to dismiss anyone, to the disappointment of those same allies.

Crankster I will not disagree with you - yes there are some violent as#@&%es on the left as well, and unprovoked violence is ALWAYS WRONG.

Just beware false flags, like the police in Montreal with the fake agitators...not saying all these people were fakes, just saying you can't really trust anyone because everyone has their own agenda these days...

This is totally a divide and conquer strategy designed to keep us fighting each other instead of Unifying against the $$. Immigrants didn't steal your jobs and close the factories - hedge fund managers and greed did that. Immigrants didn't poison the drinking water in Flint, either...that was a deliberate series of decisions made by those in power...we can go on and on about what people blame groups for, vs what the real source of the issues are...

We need to find a center. The US is the melting pot ffs...we as a country deserve better than to dissolve into a fascist state because we are too busy hating to actually see the real source of the problems...

Same thing with the BLM thing in Dallas where that supposed "BLM protestor" opened fire on the cops. You see that guy move on those videos? Total highly trained pro who had been in firefights before, not just some angry 'black guy'...

One of the reasons I don't attend 'rallys', all it takes is a handful of agitators for things to go really badly.

As far as the silly myth that both parties are equal:

Start illegal wars: which party invaded Iraq based on fabricated evidence?

Owned by banks: Which party wants to overturn Dodd Frank and get rid of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) ?

Continuing the drug war: Which party generally wants to "lock em up and throw away the key" (as long as it's not white collar crime) ? Which party loves guns in every chicken pot? Which party was most in favor of "3 strikes"?

Slaves to corporations: Which party has tried its best to ignore anti trust laws? Which party is trying to kill net neutrality? Which party wants to kill the EPA? Which party supports Citizens United? Which party denies climate change?

Contiuing the police state: one party is worse than the other. Which party more often supports the ACLU?

Spying: Which party does Donny Trump belong to ? (who just proposed more spying on US citizens).

Julius Krein went into a career in finance, working for Bank of America and the Blackstone Group. During the 2016 U.S. presidential election, he was employed at a hedge fund based in Boston while also contributing as a writer and site administrator for a pro-Trump blog. The blog, known as the Journal for American Greatness, was created supposedly to support Trump on the basis that his beliefs were politically sound. The blog's owners eventually took it offline, claiming it had begun as an inside joke and they were not prepared for such large readership.Its popularity led to Krein deciding to leave his day job to launch an authentic publication, American Affairs, a quarterly journal intended to support Trump from an intellectual perspective.

The inaugural issue of American Affairs was released February 21, one month after Trump's inauguration, which Krein intended to be the first of four issues for 2017. In an interview before its release, Krein stated he planned to have several dozen contributors and for each issue to include about 10 essays. The first issue included features on "the failure of standard conservative ideology," nationalism, fusionism, and academic free market theory. The issue received mixed reviews.

On August 17, 2017, following Trump's reaction to the events of the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally, Krein wrote an op-ed in The New York Times entitled "I Voted for Trump and I Sorely Regret It". Krein's public denouncement of Trump, in which he encouraged others to do the same, attracted significant media attention. In his op-ed, he lamented that he and his fellow Trump supporters were guilty of "deluding ourselves" during the 2016 election and that Trump's harshest critics had been proven right.

In an interview with Slate, Krein further explained how he had rationalized his public support for Trump prior to the Charlottesville rally. Krein stated that he did not feel Trump was legitimately racist. He told Slate, "I didn’t think the racist stuff was real. I thought it was media provocation. And that the economic or other stuff—that’s what he really cared about, and we are not electing a Pope, we are electing a president. If he gets even a couple things done, it’s good for the country, and by the way good for everybody."

We need to amend that Golden book "All the leaders I don't like are Hitler."

Maybe on the back? "All the people I don't like are Nazi's"

I'm sure other cultures do the same thing, I wonder what archetypes they use...

apparently, Mr, Krein did not bother to read that Donald Trump was sued twice by the Federal government for refusing to rent to black people, but that is just not racist......
