Gallup Presidential transition net approval.

Trump -7
Obama +71
Bush +36
Clinton +50

It's frustrating that we have reached a point where a president who doubled the national debt, failed our best chance for single-payer healthcare, betrayed the progressives that elected him, and was the first to preside over the country in a state of war for everyday of his presidency is that much more desirable as a leader than the twit that comes next.

*I too would prefer a third term for Obama vs what is to come.

Yeah, Obama is really getting the Riot Act treatment right now. People didn't realize how good they had it until Donald "Avocado" Trump came along.

You are now my sworn enemy.

I made the comment yesterday that Trump is the only guy that makes us actually miss George W.

Not sure how approval ratings work, but he really has a negative 7? How the fuck does that even work!

Net approval is the percent of people who approve minus the percent who disapprove of you. If I remember correctly, 44% approve of Trump and a remarkable 51% disapprove.

Watching Reuters get the "fake news" lashing on social media for daring to report on documents linking Assad to chemical attacks is a pointed reminder that America is pretty fucking weird.

Even W had substantial net approval coming in to the White House, and his win was contentious as all getout.

Trump's net approval could be TWENTY POINTS higher than it is, and still be the lowest in decades.

Fusion GPS had been hired by Republican opponents of Mr Trump in September 2015. In June 2016 Mr Steele came on the team. He was, and continues to be, highly regarded in the intelligence world. In July, Mr Trump won the Republican nomination and the Democrats became new employers of Mr Steele and Fusion GPS.

In the same month Mr Steele produced a memo, which went to the FBI, stating that Mr Trump’s campaign team had agreed to a Russian request to dilute attention on Moscow’s intervention in Ukraine. Four days later Mr Trump stated that he would recognise Moscow’s annexation of Crimea. A month later officials involved in his campaign asked the Republican party’s election platform to remove a pledge for military assistance to the Ukrainian government against separatist rebels in the east of the country.

Mr Steele claimed that the Trump campaign was taking this path because it was aware that the Russians were hacking Democratic Party emails. No evidence of this has been made public, but the same day that Mr Trump spoke about Crimea he called on the Kremlin to hack Hillary Clinton’s emails.

By late July and early August MI6 was also receiving information about Mr Trump. By September, information to the FBI began to grow in volume: Mr Steele compiled a set of his memos into one document and passed it to his contacts at the FBI. But there seemed to be little progress in a proper inquiry into Mr Trump. The Bureau, instead, seemed to be devoting their resources in the pursuit of Hillary Clinton’s email transgressions.

It's funny and somewhat sad that in the tonnage of bullshit over the past year I completely forgot this happened.

Sure, but the author is leaving out the context in order to forward the conspiracy narrative.

What context am I missing here? I'm saying that I'd forgotten that happened, and that most certainly happened.

As an aside, if their current approach continues, it's going to be really odd seeing WikiLeaks act as a shill for head of the U.S. military for the next four years.
