Trump, for his part, is frustrated that he’s not getting more credit for positive news like the booming stock market and low unemployment numbers. In recent days, he told a longtime friend that the national polls, which put his approval numbers in the low 30s, are under-representing the real number. Trump insisted his approval rating is in the high 50s. The friend challenged him, but Trump didn’t want to hear it. He soon ended the call.

Sigh.

trump is hurt because people aren't recognizing the low unemployment while he is president. while obama was president, trump repeatedly called the stock market and unemployment numbers "fake" and "phony" and "made-up lies". **** off you fat old ****

Right now, in a number of states, the laws allow a baby to be born from his or her mother's womb in the ninth month. It is wrong. It has to change.

I assume a 30% tariff on solar cells pretty much stops all future solar development in the U.S.?

Well I am not an American...but I have an opinion.

It's just sad at this stage that people who voted for him are still pretending they care ever or care now about politics.....it's like they are struggling to give a political 'meh'

They just had a misanthropic tantrum with a deep deep hatred of minorities.

All it took for half of the US to lose it's mind was a black president for 8 yrs.

His presidency is a pointless black hole...

Can you imagine what the culture is like at ICE? Where you have to be a freaking sociopath just to do your job? I'm sure it will be an unwatchably depressing Errol Morris movie in 5 years.

A good lot of the military/ex-military people I met would fit in at ICE.

Solar panel prices have been going down almost 30% every year and would have done so this year as well, so it won't kill all future development, though it will hurt some. Potentially it could be good for me personally by putting some larger companies with higher overhead out of business. It's hard to tell. The biggest industry association predicts it will eliminate 23000 jobs in the US.

So yeah, they caved. However, the Reps saw this coming a mile away and were prepared for a shut down. Always seems like the Republicans are one step ahead of the Democrats when it comes to political maneuevering.

were the dems really being blamed for the shutdown? I know lolapprovalnumbers but Trumps approval ratings dropped nearly 2% in 2 days.

The Dems are horrendous at messaging regardless. So bad that it feels like they're losing even when they're actually not losing.

Just focus on the damn clean military paycheck proposal and hammer that home to demonstrate how unreasonable and snakelike the republicans are. You don't have to tell the whole god damn story people. The court of public opinion is more like an election for prom queen than a debate tournament.

I fail to see why the entire conversation once McTurtle said no on the military funding wasn't "literally no more debate or progress on any compromise until you guys agree to fund the military."

axios - FBI director threatened to resign amid Trump, Sessions pressure

Attorney General Jeff Sessions — at the public urging of President Donald Trump — has been pressuring FBI Director Christopher Wray to fire Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, but Wray threatened to resign if McCabe was removed, according to three sources with direct knowledge.
