I wonder if Trump can make it to his fourth year in office before he's impeached.


Trump continues his run toward resignation or impeachment

Apologists and supporters of President Donald Trump are coming to the reality that something is just not right in the new administration. It has not even been three months since the inauguration and Trump has since become entangled in missteps and outright scandal.

A lot of the blue collars who voted for Trump should be allies.
In the end, it's the old problem that the Dems have a serious problem with Blue Collar white voters....and they seem unable to fix it.
I am not a big Michael Moore fan, but he is right in being a relentless critic of the Democrats on this issue.

That's true.

A guest on the show admitted that Trump could have easily orchestrated this release himself. If that's the case, of course he'd choose one that showed him in the best possible light.

It would fit his history. He leaks the cover pages to a 12 year old return showing the correct taxes paid on the declared income (of course), then screams at the press for stealing his property while celebrating all the taxes he paid and all the big league money he made.
 
Good morning. Two tweets:

Nate Silver: "It's not that relevant whether Trump intends for something to be a distraction. What matters is whether people are distracted by it."

Brian Fallon: "Dems should return focus to Trumpcare tomorrow & the millions it will leave uninsured, not get distracted by two pages from '05 tax return"

An ex-U.S. intelligence official offers a gloomy assessment:

I think the ex-U.S. intelligence official's assessment is gloomy to the point of Chicken Little. There will be no censure, much less impeachment, unless it serves the purpose of the GOP. Trump is allowing the GOP to carry on its policies and is keeping support and approval ratings high among the base. I see no reason why that should change any time soon which means IMO there is little or no appetite for censure or impeachment.

The implications of the lack of impeachment will be, IMO, remarkable in the smallness of their scale. A few people will whine a bit but it will make not one jot of difference to the working of the government, it will become the new normal.

Genuine Question here.

Early on, there was a consistently higher level of support for Clinton than for Trump. Trump won the election.

Did some of Clinton's early supporters change their views throughout the election campaign? If so, why are Clinton's supporters subject to change but Trump's are not?

If they did not, then were early polls materially biased?

Hard to say. I think that the polls overestimated how many Democratic voters would actually get off of their asses and vote, vs how many Republican voters would.

If it isn't possible for either Clinton's nor Trump's supporters to change their views during the campaign...

It is possible but that's not usually what happens, sadly.

What explanation is it that you think I've accepted?

The one you keep harping about, of course; the one that the "deplorables" comment made a huge difference. The one that Trump supporters and Trump apologists use to whitewash Trump voters' decision to vote for him.
 
Having paid taxes in one year will soon translate to "You seen [all of] my tax returns now -- I paid taxes just like everybody else!"
 
Trump's tweet: "Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!"
Trump's lawyer, Cohen: "There’s absolutely nothing funny about an assassination attempt on a president, and I’m really shocked at him, because I thought he was better than that."
Oh Snoop Dogg you dirty dawg.

To be fair, Mr. Dogg was doing something that would be sanctioned on ISF. Mock killing the POTUS is not cool. I've no doubt that Obama's effigy has probably been hanged or killed in some other way during his term, so I guess we'd need to verify whether any of the would-be assassins did any jail time. And Trump needs to come up with some fresh shade. The current one is failing.

Threatening jail time is fresh shade. Insane but fresh shade.
 
Steak news.

In what is easily the most important survey finding of the early days of the Trump administration, the left-leaning Public Policy Polling finds that Americans are generally united in their disdain for ketchup on steak. Over half (56 percent) say they disapprove of the practice. Only 27 percent are okay with it. And another 17 percent don't seem to care either way.

Even more surprising, disapproval for putting ketchup on steak cuts across lines of race, gender, age and politics -- with even a slim majority of ardent Trump fans declining to back their champion on this one.

PPP found majority disapproval for ketchup on steak across literally every demographic group it surveyed. Men (55 percent) and women (57 percent) see eye-to-eye on this. Democrats (56 percent) find bipartisan consensus with Republicans (54 percent). There's no racial divide between black (59 percent) and white (56 percent).

He has united America in opposition to this degradation of food.
