New poll shows who America trusts. Spoiler alert: It ain't the politicians.

Interesting that the the only folks that Americans distrust as much, or more, than the media are business leaders and elected officials.

Now who is it that falls into both categories?

Wait, don't tell me I've almost got it. 

You can read the entire report here.

  1. I'm sure the distrust numbers for the media are influenced by Trump and his accusations of Fake News.

    In 2017, I certainly don't trust the Trump administration and I don't trust the GOP at any level. I have little faith in the military, less faith in business leaders, and even less faith in religious leaders. I place great faith in the Constitution although I doubt that most elected Republicans have even a basic understanding of it. I do trust science, education, the lessons of history, Democratic leaders, and those in the media who are not in the clutches of the GOP. No one doing that poll asked me what I thought.

    Mistrust is a finite resource. I've allocated all of mine to Emperor Drumpf and every rat bastard who supports him, from Putin to right wing media to corrupt GOP to my ex-girlfriend who thinks Drumpfs not perfect but a lot better than "Obummer". (full disclosure: she's not a rat bastard, just painfully misinformed)

    1. Include the DCCC too. They still aren't listening and still aren't getting it right. 2018 is going to come and go and the Republicans are still going to be in charge.

    We need to demilitarize our society ..the rich have successfully built the narrative that it is patriotic for the poor to send their sons and daughters to die on foreign soils while Thur children reap the benefit of conquest .. the narrative is so deep that today criticism of war is seen as criticizing the armed forces ...

      When will those who vote Republican and sacrifice their children for the billionaires' wars learn that Republicans will never do anything to take care of their children when they return from war out of work, injured or dead?

    1. Question will be when Trump is impeached if any of this appointments and nominations will hold up. Even if Gorsucks goes through Congress, his nomination was illegitimate if Trump is impeached.

      But there is no process for removing a Supreme Court Justice on those grounds.
