Trump approval rating hits new low in Quinnipiac poll
By Madeline Conway
Trump’s previous low in the Quinnipiac survey was a 35 percent positive and 57 percent negative rating, registered on April 4.
The university’s most recent poll, released Wednesday and conducted from May 31 to June 6, also found that a large majority of respondents — 68 percent — believe that the president is “not level-headed” (29 percent say he is). Even among members of his own party, this holds true: 64 percent of Republicans say Trump is not level-headed, while 32 percent think he is.
Majorities of respondents similarly told Quinnipiac that Trump is not honest; does not have good leadership skills; does not care about average Americans; and does not share their values. Sixty-two percent described him as a strong person and 57 percent said he is intelligent.
Ahead of the highly anticipated testimony of James Comey, the former FBI director Trump fired, the survey also found that most voters are skeptical of the president’s relationship with Russia.
Thirty-one percent of respondents said they believe that Trump did something illegal with Russia, 29 percent think he is guilty of unethical but not illegal behavior, and 32 percent said he did not do anything wrong. A bit more, 40 percent, think advisers on the Trump campaign did something illegal with Russia.
The poll found that 54 percent of voters believe that Trump is too friendly with the Kremlin, which the U.S. intelligence community says carried out cyberattacks targeting Democrats during the presidential campaign last year in an attempt to help Trump’s standing in the race.
The White House has repeatedly denied that Trump or his associates colluded with Russian hackers, a question that is the subject of ongoing federal investigation. Comey was overseeing the FBI’s investigation into the matter until Trump fired him.
Seventy-three percent of respondents said they approve of Robert Mueller being named special counsel to oversee the Russia investigation, while 15 percent disapprove.
On policy, the Quinnipiac survey found that most voters disapprove of Trump’s decision to exit the Paris Climate Agreement, an international pact to combat climate change and decrease carbon emissions. Sixty-two percent of voters surveyed said they disapprove of the decision, while 32 percent approve, though 72 percent of Republicans agree with the president.
The poll had a sample size of 1,361 and a margin of error of 3.2 percent.

Blockbuster testimony on Thursday.
Based on everything that's taken place so far, who out of these two does anyone suppose has A LOT more credibility than the other, specifically with regards to telling the truth and not lying?
Putting aside the "feud" between these two and any potential obstruction of justice, but rather focusing on the undeniable Russian interference in the 2016 elections -- since the former FBI director says there was interference without question -- and more importantly if there is confirmation that the interfering is traced and sourced to the Kremlin, what then becomes the determination of an 'act of war?" Putin's silly comment that the hacking could've come from any source outside and without the consent or knowledge of the Kremlin is laughable, at the least. I think that is the scariest part of this whole debacle.
If the US interfered with Russian "elections," would they consider that an act of war? How bad does any intrusion have to be before there is such a consideration?
When Gary Powers was shot down in this U-2 spyplane close to the height of the cold war, there wasn't any declaration of war so how bad would this be? Meddling in another superpower's election process is serious business.
Russian Su-30s intercepting US B-52's and B-1B's over the Baltic Sea just a few days ago. Not something you see very often. As a matter of fact, it's mostly the opposite with Bears getting picked up by F-22's and Canadians F-18s in the Pacific.

crooked Hillary would have fired him on day 1.
How do you define a cyber attack anyway, hacking voting machines, an electricity grid or air traffic control or other such, sure.. a state sanctioned sustained online propaganda campaign, which is about as far as they went.. act of war ?
and wikileaks has been at it for years now, Assange has been a real champion exposing evil and corruption around the world for a long time.
she lost because of who she is, even people on her side have had enough:
But we can’t stay friendly to Hillary forever. There’s a fine line—or maybe not even so fine a line—between boosting morale and monopolizing the spotlight. One reason Bill Clinton was able to make a name for himself decades ago was that previous candidates had the grace to get out of the way. Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis weren’t trying to place themselves at center stage during the campaign of 1992. The Clintons, by contrast, kept sticking around. When it comes to power, and a few other things, they can’t control their urges. As a friend of mine recently wrote to me in an e-mail, “They both had to be president?”
Even the name of Clinton’s PAC has a presumptuous ring to it..
read the rest here.
Besides, there were Mexico based political advocacy groups going door to door campaigning for Hillary on immigration issues. Would Mexico have been held responsible for interfering and putting Hillary in the white house had she won ?
With the collusion thing basically dead, hope he moves forward and makes a deal with Putin on Syria.
crooked Hillary also promised a military response to cyber attacks.

probably a routine interception around Kaliningrad.

This is the most corrupt and controversial government the US has ever had.
D.C. and Maryland sue President Trump, alleging breach of constitutional oath
By Aaron C. Davis June 12
Attorneys general for the District of Columbia and the state of Maryland sued President Trump on Monday, alleging that he has violated anti-corruption clauses in the Constitution by accepting millions in payments and benefits from foreign governments since moving into the White House.
The lawsuit, the first of its kind brought by government entities, centers on the fact that Trump chose to retain ownership of his company when he became president. Trump said in January that he was shifting his business assets into a trust managed by his sons to eliminate potential conflicts of interests.
But D.C. Attorney General Karl A. Racine (D) and Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh (D) say Trump has broken many promises to keep separate his public duties and private business interests. For one, his son Eric Trump has said the president would continue to receive regular updates about his company’s financial health.
The lawsuit, a signed copy of which Racine and Frosh provided to The Washington Post on Sunday night, alleges “unprecedented constitutional violations” by Trump. The suit says Trump’s continued ownership of a global business empire has rendered the president “deeply enmeshed with a legion of foreign and domestic government actors” and has undermined the integrity of the U.S. political system.
“Fundamental to a President’s fidelity to [faithfully execute his oath of office] is the Constitution’s demand that the President ... disentangle his private finances from those of domestic and foreign powers. Never before has a President acted with such disregard for this constitutional prescription.”
The suit could open a new front for Trump as he navigates investigations by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and congressional committees of possible collusion between his associates and the Russian government during the 2016 presidential campaign.
If a federal judge allows the case to proceed, Racine and Frosh say, one of the first steps will be to demand through the discovery process copies of Trump’s personal tax returns to gauge the extent of his foreign business dealings. That fight would most likely end up before the Supreme Court, the two said, with Trump’s attorneys having to defend why the returns should remain private.
“This case is, at its core, about the right of Marylanders, residents of the District of Columbia and all Americans to have honest government,” Frosh said. To fully know the extent of Trump’s constitutional violations “we’ll need to see his financial records, his taxes that he has refused to release.”
Racine said he felt obligated to sue Trump in part because the Republican-controlled Congress has not taken the president’s apparent conflicts seriously.
“We’re getting in here to be the check and balance that it appears Congress is unwilling to be,” he said.
The constitutional question D.C. and Maryland will put before a federal judge is whether Trump’s business holdings amount to violations of parts of the Constitution known as the foreign and domestic emoluments clauses.
To guard against foreign countries gaining sway over the new republic’s ambassadors in the late 1700s, drafters of the Constitution prohibited any “Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust” from accepting “any present, Emolument, Office or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.” Read more

It's unbelievable what is happening on a daily basis. Sessions will be drilled tomorrow. Then add all the things that are coming up one after the other and they make you think how much longer can this guy and his posse survive all these calamities? One bombshell after the other on an almost daily basis. I hope things stabilize before he brings this country down with him.

Lol, Trump lost again, every time he loses it reminds me of his bragging, how he was going to "win, win, win." 
I salute the judges they are true heroes they are defending the Constitution and American values.

Yesterday Trump held his first bizarre Cabinet meeting. Normally one sees this kind of stuff happening in countries like North Korea, it was beyond ridiculous. First, Trump started by praising himself, (no surprise there) “never has there been a president, with few exceptions, who has passed more legislation, done more things, (but the fact is, Congress has not passed any MAJOR legislative bills) and more blah blah blah, but then the things got more bizarre when his Cabinet appointees one by one started praising him, damn, I almost fell from my chair.

I voted on Tuesday in the Virginia Democratic Primary, 2017 for Ralph Northam. Come November 7, 2017 I will be joining other Virginians in keeping Virginia a Blue state by electing Northam as our governor.
For the first time in a long time more Democrats turned out for the Primary then did Republicans - 550,000 voters to 350,000 - echoing shifting demographics in Northern Virginia and general displeasure with Washington right now. Virginia's opinion of the Trump Administration is the lowest in the country.
The Republican Primary Candidates split the vote between a moderate and a Trumpist. The Trumpist candidate has said he will not support his opponent and victor in the Republican Primary in the Gubernatorial come November 7, 2017. Interesting times for the Republican party post-Trump election.
This. This is the biggest concern I have about President Trump and the core issue in his presidency. It's not the Russia investigation or his tense, often contradictory relationship with Congress, or even his inexperience or business-like approach to government, it's that he's unwilling by all reports and accounts to learn how to be the President, read the material and take advice from people who have been there and done that.
He could be a fine (not good) president if he actually tried, but he gets in his own way and his ignorance on governmental affairs - foreign policy, chain of command, judicial independence, Congressional oversight - is what's causing him the most grief.
To add, this week I'm undergoing training in how to testify before Congress and have gotten an opportunity to sit in on both House and Senate sessions, though yesterday's House sessions were cancelled due to the shooting in Virginia. I feel like I'm more prepared, having less then a week of formal training in governmental procedures outside of my purview for the agency I work for, then President Trump is with six months on the job and hundreds of advisers.

Now Trump is claiming that him being investigated for obstruction of justice is a phony story.
Trump literally admitted in an interview that he had Russia on his mind when he fired Comey. What a mental midget!
Trump Tried to Convince NSA Chief to Absolve Him of Any Russian Collusion: Report
A recent National Security Agency memo documents a phone call where U.S. President Donald Trump pressures agency chief Admiral Mike Rogers to publicly state there is no evidence of collusion between his campaign and Russia, say reports.
The memo was written by Rick Ledgett, the former Deputy Director of the National Security Agency (NSA), sources familiar with the memo told The Wall Street Journal. Ledgett stepped down from his job this spring.
The memo said Trump questioned the findings of America’s intelligence community that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. American intelligence agencies issued a report early this year that found Russian intelligence agencies hacked the country’s political parties and worked to sway the election to Trump.
The Russia investigation’s special counsel Robert Mueller plans to interview Ledgett as part of his investigation into Russia’s efforts to manipulate in the 2016 vote, a source told the WSJ . Mueller is also probing whether Trump himself obstructed justice when he fired former FBI Director James Comey on May 9, according to the Washington Post .
“They made up a phony collusion with the Russians story, found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. Nice,” Trump tweeted Thursday. “You are witnessing the single greatest WITCH HUNT in American political history - led by some very bad and conflicted people!” he wrote.
Comey testified a week ago that Trump had pressured him to “let go” an investigation into fired National Security Advisor Michael Flynn after Flynn misled Vice President Mike Pence about contacts he had had with Russian officials.
Comey also testified that Trump asked him to publicly deny that the president was being investigated by the FBI. Comey said that at the time Trump was not being investigated, but he demurred from Trump’s request because he would have to publicly correct his statement if the facts changed.
On March 20 Comey testified that his investigation into Russian interference was looking at whether Trump’s campaign colluded with the foreign power. British intelligence agencies first picked up contacts between Trump’s campaign members and associates in 2015.
Two current and two former officials told the Washington Post that in March Trump asked Rogers and Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats to publicly deny the existence of any evidence of collusion between his campaign and Russia during the 2016 election.
During testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee on June 7, neither Coats nor Rogers would answer many specific questions, but both said they did not feel pressure. Coats testified that he “never felt pressure to intervene” in the Russia investigation.
“In the three-plus years that I have been the director of the National Security Agency, to the best of my recollection, I have never been directed to do anything I believed to be illegal, immoral, unethical or inappropriate,” Rogers said. “And to the best of my recollection … I do not recall ever feeling pressured to do so.”

Not surprising given that Clinton won the popular vote, so Trump was starting with lower approval ratings, to begin with. I would like to see a breakdown by both his hardcore supporters and independents who voted for him. I presume many of the latter regret voting for him.
