I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, 'wouldn't it be much worse if life *were* fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them?' So now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe. - M. Cole

Nan's Notebook 
Nan I have been checking the news sites. The more progressive ones are saying tRump is losing support among republicans. The conservative ones are ignoring anything negative on tRump. What do you think? Has all the information on the Manafort and Cohen cases hurt tRump? Hugs

Scottie, I would like to think it has … but realistically? I doubt it. The Repukes are going to support him simply because he’s “one of them” and the Dems (unfortunately) don’t have the numbers.
Quite frankly, I’m amazed at some of the stuff he’s already gotten away with so I don’t have high hopes anything is going to change. IMO, the title I put on this post sums it up.

In my opinion, it has hurt Trump.
Yes, his supporters are still supporting him. But they are making excuses for him, and they know that they are making excuses for him. They still support him, but with reduced enthusiasm.

Maybe .. maybe not. Some reports I’ve read indicate they don’t think the current stuff is legit so they’re still happy with what he’s doing overall.
As several commentators have said … until it hits enough of them in the pocketbook (or as the saying goes … until shit hits the fan), everything remains hunky-dory.

In clinical psychology that is a symptom of denial and/or delusional.

There are two ways in which current events could theoretically decrease Trump’s support. One is by turning supporters against him, the other is by reducing the enthusiasm of those who still support him.
For the first, the only way we can know is via polls. There hasn’t been time to do any since the latest major events, but in days to come we will get some data.
As to loss of enthusiasm, that’s difficult for even polls to assess. It would manifest itself mainly in depressed Republican election turnout. There’s some evidence that that’s been happening for some time, in the special elections we’ve been seeing over the last few months. We won’t really know how much of a factor it is overall until November.

Hahahaha!!! (although in another way I shouldn’t laugh) This is oh so true in this surreal Orwellian society we Americans find ourselves living in today. These absolutely could be very real headlines, reports, Tweets, and social-media. That’s not only scary, but incredibly sad American politics and our system-of-ungoverning have devolved into post-Citizens United vs. FEC in 2010… to name just one pivotal cause to the idiocy. 😖

This is terrific, but too true. I wrote something similar a month or so ago but decided not to post it. There’s nothing he can do to lose support in the area where I live.

in general I agree with the saying, “you get the kind of government you deserve”, but these are special times, and there is a madman in the whitehouse. Damn he even makes Baby Bush look good.
What amazes and saddens me, Clinton was hung out to dry for getting nailed over Monica (and oh, it does take two in circumstances like that) and he was impeached. Trump has had three wives, multiple girlfriends, he lies and then lies about the lies, I expect any day now KellyAnn to come forward and brag how she’s carrying his baby (barf) and his followers will cheer, hurrah hurrah, as he smiles that goofy Alfred E Neuman smile. the rats are leaving the ship, but not nearly fast enough.

I’m truly beginning to wonder what he has over some of the people who COULD bring him to task. Is it a secret club where they all agree to keep the dirt under the covers? Is the corruption so bad that if even one person lets the cat out of the bag, the house of cards goes up in flames?
It’s truly difficult for me to see how this one man has been able to get away with so much without even a slap on the wrist. Unless …
