Were Trump and his cohorts in collusion with the Russians to help swing the election his way ?

So far every cabinet nominee has been confirmed. So far the president has a majority approval rating. So far the same Mrs. Clinton supporters than whined prior to the election haven't been increased. In fact decreased.

@Jackjjacksonjr: As in, the majority of the country's approval? Not even close. In fact, the lowest approval ratings ever and slipping.

Over 50% according to this one

@Jackjjacksonjr: "according to this one" ...... lol

@pezzza: i posted a link you didn't. End of story. You lose again sir 😀

@Jackjjacksonjr: Hmm, okay. But one of the department headings in the Daily Caller's banner is "Guns and Gear." Maybe not the most politically objective source imaginable.

I found a site I think is a good overview. Interesting information for everyone: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/

@Oconnor: interesting. Actually not as bad as the media would have one believe. Congress is sure despised. Wonder if we can find a poll comparing the president and the media? I suspect the president wins on that one.

@Oconnor:

Interesting the president narrowly wins over the media

These are surprising. Not exactly right wing whacks either.

@Jackjjacksonjr: Just google 'Trump approval ratings' and then tell me how many support the one you linked and how many have him in the bracket of 'historically low'.

@pezzza: actually click OC's link and check yesterday's Rasmussen number. Feel free to google and post anything you want. Although your style generally doesn't include facts to support your "theories".

@Jackjjacksonjr: I don't have to stoop to cherry-picking dubious links to support my views. I'm confident enough in my own arguments.

@Jackjjacksonjr: Fascinating. Now that it appears clear there's a problem with the media's image (which would render the media, by its nature, silent), maybe people should look into the reasons for this. I highly suspect many people believe the media to be dishonest by virtue of suggestion, not because it actually is. That which we don't agree with we often call bad information.

I think we've got a problem with trust overall in the country. We are a suspicious people, and not without good reason.

@pezzza: It's good to be armed with facts and information; it's the only way debate will ever provide usable results.

@Oconnor: You can find any number of'facts' on the internet to support a viewpoint. It's generally just confirmation bias and ultimately meaningless. If people are confident in their assertions then they should have no need to resort to them. Just like Trump , whatever doesn't support their argument they simply label fake news. It's a childish game that I want no part of.

@pezzza: No, facts are not confirmation bias and not meaningless. Data, pattern, objective analysis...this is what makes up truth.

I'd suggest getting all one's information online is a dangerous line to walk if you're looking for truth. And while cherry-picking information in an attempt at confirmation bias might pass for debate, there's enough factual data out there to delineate the truth from lie. Promoting the dissemination of factual data is the cornerstone of scientific research.

That rant aside, you are 100% correct about Trump. The administration's policy seems to be, "Say it and it will be so." Very much not so.
