Poll: Trump job approval hits new low

But 79 percent of Republicans and 86 percent of Trump voters approve of the job he is doing, which seems astonishing.

The 79% and 86% figures are disappointing, but the changes are big enough to ensure he doesn’t get a second term.

If he gets his tax reform passed and survives to 2020 it will be obvious by then that the majority will not benefit from what is being proposed.

That, allied to no wall and no improvement to Obamacare, will mean he couldn’t get re-elected.

Mind you by then he would have benefitted financially which is his main goal.

A measure in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act would lower taxes on some of the payments made by owners of private aircraft to management companies that help maintain, store and staff those planes for owners.

The language would exempt owners or leasers of private aircraft from paying taxes on certain costs related to the upkeep and maintenance of the jets, according to a description from the Joint Committee on Taxation.

"Applicable services include support activities related to the aircraft itself, such as its storage, maintenance, and fueling, and those related to its operation, such as the hiring and training of pilots and crew, as well as administrative services such as scheduling, flight planning, weather forecasting, obtaining insurance, and establishing and complying with safety standards," it says.

Can't be long until Trump comes out a flat-earther and disbands NASA

NASA have been far cannier at where they build big ticket parts and place expensive facilities than about getting humans into space for the past couple of decacdes, thus its political suicide to hit too hard and have them closing facilities in electorally key locations. 

 

Though Space X is currently blowing huge holes on that industry. The Russians, Arianespace and the old school US big space contractors are all seriously losing market share.

Bible has been edited many times.  Council of Nicea way back decided which books would be suitable for their religious ideals.  Unfortunately the true bible has been lost.  

Don’t worry, I’ve found it.  It will be on eBay next week.

Off topic.  Would the world be safer if the Native Americans were not subjected to genocide by the invading European settlers?  How brutal can man be to his fellow man than to starve his hosts to death by killing their buffaloes and way of life.  

Be fair, most of it was down to microbes the natives hadn't encountered yet.

Edit to add.
Anyone else found it strange that a symbol of a serpent has been more or less adopted universally as a symbol of medicine?  The serpent was supposed to be a bad one in the Garden of Eden, so why was it all of a sudden made a good symbol?
 


One question the inquisition used to ask heretics was whether God had created snakes.

The law in Alabama states that you can f**k anyone with or without their parents permission once they reach age 16.

Most other places require the permission of the person you are aiming to f**k, regardless what their parents think about it.

Greek Mythology is what you need to look up for your snakes query.  Not Christian.

Fox News poll: Obama has higher favorability in Alabama than Trump

Startling.

That poll released their internals and it way oversampled Democrats.

The Indians of North America died of disease long before the settlers moved into new territories. For instance, diseases from European explorers to the north wiped out most of the population in New England, making the area seem nearly uninhabited when the Pilgrims showed up. The same thing happened across the whole continent. Nature had determined that most of them would die at the first point they came into contact with people from any other continent. 

As for the fighting, the Indians gave as good as they got on that front. Many of the tribes were generally friendly. Many other tribes were amongst the most brutal and savage people who have ever existed. Gang raping captured females until they died and such. Their side just lost.

Edited to satisfy Welshy.
