48% Of White Men Continue To Support President Trump, As Record Poll Lows Haunt His Presidency

In the new Quinnipiac Poll, 48% of white men continue to believe that President Trump is doing a good job running the country. The poll was completed last Thursday, May 4 prior to the Comey firing.

While the 48% approval among white men represents a decline from April where 53% approved, clearly white men dominate and prop up President Trump's reckless actions. They are his strongest cohort of supporters.

Understand that -- according to all polls -- white men "get it" last, in understanding President Trump's reckless attempts to plunge America into the abyss. What a conundrum: white men dominate our politics and our government. And guess who gets the truth last, according to polls? White men.

What better argument do we have for ending white men America's boys club, as Trump works on their behalf to roll back the gains of women, gays, and people of color over the last 50 years. ? It's a national disgrace, and we're waiting for the voices of America's white men to tackle this subject loud and clear -- while some Dems argue that the party should end a focus on identity politics -- and get cozier than ever with white men. ~ Anne

Aussie Senator Larissa Waters Discreetly Breastfeeds In Senate Proceedings

Australian Greens party Sen. Larissa Waters brought the Australian Parliament into the 21st century, breast-feeding her baby, Alia Joy, during a session in the Senate Chamber at Parliament House in Canberra. Alia Joy is the first baby to hold such a prestigious but core values honor. 

Her mum is Greens party co-deputy leader Larissa Waters, who returned to Parliament after giving birth to her second child a few weeks ago, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.

"The milestone comes after Senator Waters instigated changes to Senate rules last year, extending rules that already allowed breastfeeding in the chamber to allow new mums and dads to briefly care for their infants on the floor of parliament," The Australian reports. "The House of Representatives has made similar changes."

Waters is the first MP to take advantage of the new rules, and baby Alia Joy has a place in the history books of Australia. Can you imagine such an event in America's Congress? Hell will freeze over first. 

'Morning Joe' Gets The SNL Treatment & Kate McKinnon Is Brilliant As Mika Brzezinski

This weekend's 'Saturday Night Live' took aim at the American Health Care Act; President Donald Trump -- voiced by Alex Baldwin -- posing via phone as his own mythical PR agent John Miller; and this week's news that 'Morning Joe' hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are engaged. 

The shows's cold open skit featured comedians Kate McKinnon doing a great Brzezinski with Alex Moffat playing Scarborough. The duo got racy and more than once -- much to the horror of regular 'Morning Joe' panelists also in the skit. 

“Well, guys, they did it, ok. The House has passed their health care plan which might take health insurance away from 24 million Americans. Many of them are swing voters in 2018. If morality doesn’t matter to them, I mean, maybe just pure politics should?” announced Scarborough.

“It’s crazy! I’m up it, I’m over it, I’m past it, I’m in the driveway, the car is running,” added McKinnon’s panicky, hilariously spot-on Brzezinski. She then turned to Joe: “This party—your party, the Republican Party—is completely morally bankrupt at this point.”

“Oh, Mika! That’s enough, ok?” he fired back, before turning to her and gazing at her seductively. “You’re being snickety because you know it pushes my buttons.”

“Does it? Push your buttons?” Brzezinski replied, moving closer to Scarborough and caressing his hair.

“It does,” he offered, gazing deeply into her eyes.

Taking up the AHCA amendment that would allow states to waive Obamacare's pre-existing conditions requirement if they meet certain criteria, McKinnon said: "A C-section is a pre-existing condition. And you know what's not a pre-existing condition? Erectile dysfunction," she continued.

"Well, hold on," Moffat said, appearing to get irritated. "Now, here we go, all right, Mika, you're being dramatic," he added. 

The two hosts continued engaging in suggestive behavior throughout the skit — Moffat's Scarborough called McKinnon's Brzezinski "Mika mouse" and repeatedly said, "You're being naughty" — and in front of the show's panelists, who all looked confused and uncomfortable. 

"Willie Geist, what are you seeing here?" Moffat asked, seeking panelists' thoughts on the AHCA. 

"Uh, what am I seeing here? I have no idea, I have so many unanswered questions," said Willie Geist, who was played by SNL regular Mikey Day.

For those of us who watch 'Morning Joe', Kate McKInnon perfectly nailed Mika Brzezinski. Simply stated, I couldn't stop laughing, and I just wonder what the engaged duo will have to say tomorrow.
