The opinion of the Trumpettes seems to be waning in their support of the Trump:

Trump’s ‘fake news’ attack lost its power this week --

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.7627867243d0

Quote:

The significance of this week is that Trump can no longer cry “fake news” when the media reports on a broken promise, and count on his boosters to help keep the faith. In a credibility war with the media, Trump's victory is not automatic, even in the eyes of his most ardent admirers.

Nothing to apologize for Dowly. I figured you were just teasing and I was just teasing back.

Well, it seems that Trump-claimed "fake news" Russian interference story just resulted in a very major un-"fake" warrant against Facebook (which is cooperating) regarding Russian-connected FB accounts:

Mueller just obtained a warrant that could change the entire nature of the Russia investigation --

It looks like that "nothing burger" collusion investigation just got a substantial upgrade to jumbo-size...

Maybe it's because people feel they can no longer trust the political class who do have the experience and connections.

I don't like Facebook ... maybe we shouldn't trust Facebook. I spend too much time clicking on what my friends say when they don't really have anything to say anyway, plus the vanity of it all with photo's and cover pictures. Sort of like the texting disease ... you've heard about that one, right?

What texting disease? You know the one where you think someone loves you so you text them all the time and they text you back, but in reality your girlfriend could have a half dozen other men on the hook texting ... i luv u too

I could have posted this in our Strike on North Korea

´Cause it has something to do with NK, but it has more to do with American politics or lack of it.

Earlier today I read something that made me a little happy USA had open a door/phone line to NK/KJU said by the American Minister of Foreign affairs

Then about 30 minutes ago I read on a Swedish news paper, Trump twitting words that goes against what Tillerson

In a series of tweets, Donald Trump seems to threaten Kim Jong-Un and undermine his own foreign minister.

"There is not point in Negotiating with the little rocket man. Save your strength, Rex"

"Save your energy Rex, we'll do what has to be done!"

For me it looks like the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing or they are working against each other.

It also looks like there are no co-op in the White House.

Still, on the upside, the liberals are upset, and that's the main thing.

Confusing, uh? Sort of like a Lou and Costello movie ... maybe these two are doing a Mutt and Jeff on Rocket Man

Yet another darling of the Religious Right shows his feet of clay and moral hypocrisy:

GOP congressman repeatedly promoted antiabortion stance a week after reportedly telling mistress to get abortion --

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.b65d7b553033

Gonna be hard for him to reconcile his actions with his stance; the idiot put the whole thing in writing...

You got to be kidding me! The IRS has awarded a multi-million dollar contract to Equifax for fraud protection!!

Yikes that is pretty bad. I just don't understand some people.

More of the entitlement attitude. He is special and the rules only apply to others.

An interesting article from Vanity Fair:

“I Hate Everyone in the White House!”: Trump Seethes as Advisers Fear the President Is “Unraveling” --

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017...1&noRedirect=1

If it were any other person as President, this would be very hard to believe or consider; unfortunately, the current occupant of the Oval Office and his actions give it all a ring of truth...

^ This article is disturbing, to say at least. I have my prejudices and some backed judgements on Trump, but this is unbelievable

vienna · 10-12-17, 05:42 AM

It would be truly unbelievable if were anyone else; DT has done enough seriously unhinged actions over the last nine months to give one pause and seriously consider it my be true and, perhaps, much worse; add into the last nine months his record as a private citizen prior to taking office and the perception is strongly reinforced...
