It appears that both Russian politicians and Fox News viewers are turning on Donald Trump.

You may remember that after the election Trump's approval numbers in Russia were in the 70's.

Not any more.

This statement by the Russian politician inspired this follow up question from the host.
Probably meant to be seen a joke. But then again....

And Russians are not the only Trump loyalists who are turning against him.
Trump's toxicity is finally permeating the cognitive dissonance of those who blindly believed what they were so desperate to believe about him.

He is not draining the swamp.

He IS the swamp.

If this continues there will be no civil war when Trump is impeached, but instead a country wide sigh of relief.

Or perhaps that should read "A world wide sigh of relief."

      ..But he might just turn out to be the guy who brings us all together after all! :)) It's like the plot of Watchmen or The Outer Limits: Architects of Fear come to life! We just needed a bigger horror to unite against.

    "He IS the swamp." Stop maligning swamps. Swamps are wetlands- the natural filter of our water supply. THey are a beautiful and necessary part of our ecosystem.

    The Rump, on the other hand, is a noxious, gaseous (I bet he farts at meetings all the time, don't you? Watch how people lean away from him when forced to sit next to him) toxic, shit-filled cesspool, much more like a leaky portajohn than a "swamp."

    This a poll conducted by Fox News, not a poll of Fox News viewers, but at least we can hope they'll regain consciousness, too, someday.

    Officer Who Arrested Utah Nurse In Viral Video Is Now Under Criminal Investigation

    The nurse refused to let Detective Jeff Payne take blood from an unconscious patient without having a warrant.

    Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill ordered a criminal investigation Friday into the actions of Detective Jeff Payne who aggressively arrested nurse Alex Wubbels on July 26 for refusing to draw blood from a severely injured patient.

    Payne has been placed on administrative leave, The Associated Press reported. The Salt Lake City Police Department also said Friday that two of its employees have been placed on administrative leave while the investigation is underway. It is unclear if Payne is one of the employees mentioned in the agency’s statement.

    When White Folks Say Obama Was an “Embarrassment”, Here’s Your Response

    ...So, you were embarrassed for the past 8 years, huh?

    Really?

    What exactly were you embarrassed by?

    Were you embarrassed by his lone and enduring twenty-five year marriage to a strong woman he’s never ceased to publicly praise, respect, or cherish?

    Were you embarrassed by the way he lovingly and sweetly parented and protected his daughters?

    Were you embarrassed by his Columbia University degree in Political Science or his graduating magna cum laude from Harvard Law School?

    Maybe you were embarrassed by his white American and Black Kenyan parents, or the diversity he was raised in as normal?

    Were you embarrassed by his eloquence, his quick wit, his easy humor, his seeming comfort meeting with both world leaders and street cleaners; by his bright smile or his sense of empathy or his steadiness—perhaps by his lack of personal scandals or verbal gaffes or impulsive tirades?

    No. Of course you weren’t.

    Honestly, I don’t believe you were ever embarrassed. That word implies an association that brings ridicule, one that makes you ashamed by association, and if that’s something you claim to have experienced over the past eight years by having Barack Obama representing you in the world—I’m going to suggest you rethink your word choice.

    You weren’t “embarrassed” by Barack Obama.

    You were threatened by him.
    You were offended by him.
    You were challenged by him.
    You were enraged by him.

    But I don’t believe it had anything to do with his resume or his experience or his character or his conduct in office—because you seem fully proud right now to be associated with a three-time married, serial adulterer and confessed predator; a man whose election and business dealings and relationships are riddled with controversy and malfeasance. You’re perfectly fine being represented by a bullying, obnoxious, genitalia-grabbing, Tweet-ranting, Prime Minister-shoving charlatan who’s managed to offended all our allies in a few short months. And you’re okay with him putting on religious faith like a rented, dusty, ill-fitting tuxedo and immediately tossing it in the garbage when he’s finished with it.

    None of that you’re embarrassed of? I wonder how that works.

      Wasn't the word repeated "No drama, Obama?" The irony is that Trump's daily tweets and frequent ill conduct to bully, humiliate and discredit others has demonstrated to most people not how strong or powerful he is but the opposite that he is unfit, unstable and incompetent.

      Joe Scarsborough speaks about Trump's senseless behavior a lot as do others.

      Between Sarah Palin and Trump I get the impression the Republican base loves and supports anyone who bashes and trashes the competition even when they consistently lie, have not idea what they are talking about to are ignorant as hell. Worse they could care less about facts making up things to discredit others.

    5. In contrast we have "Drama dump, Trump."

      Unfortunately for Trump, the more he tries to be "strong" the more he appears weak, because in contrast and comparison to his predecessor, he will always be found lacking. It is this constant insecurity that will be his undoing as it drives all of his poor decisions and choices (and his big anus mouth.)

    White House Aides Admit That Uninformed Trump Gets His Information From Fox News

    ...“Mr. Kelly cannot stop Mr. Trump from binge-watching Fox News, which aides describe as the president’s primary source of information gathering. But Mr. Trump does not have a web browser on his phone, and does not use a laptop, so he was dependent on aides like Stephen K. Bannon, his former chief strategist, to hand-deliver printouts of articles from conservative media outlets. Now Mr. Kelly has thinned out his package of printouts so much that Mr. Trump plaintively asked a friend recently where The Daily Caller and Breitbart were.”

    Trump doesn’t use the information that his own government collects, but would rather trust a cable news channel that is infamous for its inaccurate reporting. Donald Trump is making policy decisions that impact the lives of millions of Americans based on what he sees on programs like Hannity and Fox and Friends. When Trump decided to try to ban Muslims, take away health care from tens of millions, and when he ends DACA, the guiding information source behind all of these decisions is what the nation’s first low information voter president sees on Fox News.

    It is not a coincidence that with Trump reliant on Fox, the network has seen a ratings decline. The ideology being broadcast by Fox News has fallen out of favor with roughly two-thirds of the country.

      "In the case study below, I describe how the narrative surrounding Berkeley was picked up and shaped by Russian-linked influence networks, which saw a chance to drive a wedge in American society and ran with it. Next, I look at the individual accounts and users that were identified as top influencers on Twitter, and explore what they were posting, how they worked together to craft a narrative, and the methods they used to amplify their message. Finally, I look at how news coverage of the events in Berkeley was shaped by the skewed narrative that emerged on social media.
      This is just a single case study in a larger story, but it serves as an important reminder that Russia is still exploiting social media to harm U.S. interests — and that plenty of Americans are willing to join in on the effort.

    This is a well written piece. A picture emerged of a street fighter cornering a bully, making sure all the exits were covered before he pummeled him and forced him to give back 4 years of lunch money he'd stolen.

    The last two weeks especially have felt like one nail in the coffin after another. Literally everyday there was news about some new front in Mueller's case: Working with the IRS, the raid on Manafort, working with Schneiderman, questioning people in the Trump Jr. Russia meeting, testimony from Fusion GPS on the dossier... the walls are definitely closing in now.
