> [@AnalogSignal](#): > > Trump hit an all time low in the Gallup Poll today - 33% approval. I’ve been watching that. It’s a 3 day average, so today’s numbers reflect the 28thy-30th. Its going to be another couple of days before the poll will fully reflect the effect of the arrests, so there is no where to go but down. ---

Also, the judge that stopped the latest travel ban should be deported. Also, Trump’s first thought was to score political points before offering condolences to the victims and families. ---

CNN has Anderson Cooper and Phil Mudd live at the scene of the attack. Some asshole Trump supporter just walked by in the background with his phone out recording them and yelling “CNN! Fake News! CNN! Fake News!”. “Basket of deplorables” isn’t nearly vitriolic enough for this kind of human filth. ---

[Silver spoon, entitled asshole Trump jr.](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/nov/01/donald-trump-jr-twitter-daughter-chloe-halloween-socialism-tweet) is whining about socialism on Twitter. Poor boy. Cashing fat checks from Daddy must be a strain. I hope that whole goddamn awful family ends up in prison.
