Trump sets new low for 2nd quarter job approval in Gallup poll. He is without peer the worst president ever to occupy the WH. Yet he still has apologists, even here. How stupid must his remaining supporters be!

Let's see if the Trumpenfuhrer will speak out against this guy like he would if this fellow's name was Mohammed:

The FBI has arrested an Oklahoma man on charges that he tried to detonate what he thought was a 1,000-pound bomb, acting out of a hatred for the U.S. government and an admiration for Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, according to court papers.

Jerry Drake Varnell was arrested shortly after an early Saturday morning attempt to detonate a fake bomb packed into what he believed was a stolen cargo van outside a bank in Oklahoma City, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court. He was charged with attempted destruction of a building by means of an explosive.

According to the complaint, over the course of a months-long undercover investigation by the FBI, Varnell made repeated statements about the extent of his hatred of the federal government.

Bernstein: "important Republicans” are saying privately that President Trump is “unfit” for office and urged reporters to look into how widespread those worries may be.

Aussies denied Trump casino in 1987 due to secret police report of his mob connections. He's been corrupt since the day he was born. His daddy was in the KKK.

“A team of the country's most eminent behavioral psychologists, cultural historians, statesmen and clergy could have been asked to design the worst leader imaginable for this moment and Trump would have exceeded their imaginations,” said Mark Salter, a former longtime chief of staff and speechwriter to McCain.

So much for 'Draining The Swamp' and transparency.

'Trump White House is still holding back visitor information, watchdog group says' WP

"A government watchdog group sued Thursday to compel the Trump administration to release names of at least some visitors to the White House complex, as was done in the Obama era.

The lawsuit contends that the current administration had planned to be less open about visitor logs but was failing to abide by even that lower standard it had announced in April.

Public Citizen, a nonprofit advocacy group, alleged in the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that the Secret Service has rejected or ignored requests under the public records law for information about visitors to four agencies at the White House complex: the Office of Management and Budget, the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the Office of National Drug Control Policy and the Council on Environmental Quality.

Public Citizen harshly criticized the withholding of the visitor information, saying the failure to release them flouted a 2013 appellate court ruling and contradicted President Trump’s vows to “drain the swamp” of corrupting influences of money in politics in Washington." WP

Art of the Deal co-author thinks Trump ready to resign before he's thrown in jail.
