President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

He's a newsman!

 

Cuz Rossi's on assignment.

 

He's a big-time political activist.

 

Actually, Fox News (!) has also tweeted out the SOTU ratings chart.

 

Asner served two terms as president of the Screen Actors Guild, in which capacity during the 1980s he opposed US policy in Central America, working closely with the Alliance for Survival. He played a prominent role in the 1980 SAG strike. He has also been active in a variety of other causes, such as the movement to free Mumia Abu-Jamal and the movement to establish California One Care, single-payer health care in California, for which he created a television advertisement. He endorsed Barack Obama during the United States presidential election, 2008. He was formerly a member of the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee (DSOC) and is a member of DSOC's successor, the Democratic Socialists of America.

The sudden cancellation of Lou Grant in 1982 was the subject of much controversy. The show had high ratings—the level of which should have justified its ongoing presence in primetime (it was in the ACNielsen top ten throughout its final month on the air). However, the CBS television network declined to renew it. It has been Asner's consistent position that his political views, as well as the publicity surrounding them, were the actual root causes for the show's cancellation.

He was an aggressive activist for years. Didn't know he still is.

 

LOL. I didn't see this, but it's pretty funny. Mika ends the interview abruptly, and goes to commercial:

 

That's a horrible misuse of "infer" vs. "imply."

 

Well, the entire Democratic party can't help itself, so what do you expect from one guy?

 

Trump’s job approval is up to 41.5% in the RCP average. Five of the last six polls have him over 40%.

Not all surveys were conducted after the State of the Union, which was well received, so I expect those numbers to go higher.

And, as the tax cuts kick in — people are starting to get more money in their paychecks right now — and the economy continues to improve, coupled with the collapse of the Russian “collusion” investigation, he’ll be close to 50% soon.

In case you ever wondered why so many of us are bitter, angry, ugly people, that bolded phrase hasn't been true for journalists for at least 10 years.

We're in a dying industry and don't have the skills to find other jobs.

You'd think we would all have voted for Trump!
