Poll: Trump Approval Rating Still Severely Underwater

The results of a new survey by Public Policy Polling are not good news for Donald Trump:

• Only 40% approve of the job Trump is doing versus 53% who disapprove

• Only 15% of those polled feel he has been successful in “draining the swamp”

• 57% disapprove of his plan to ban transgender service members in the U.S. military, only 31% approve

• 55% oppose Trump’s plan to build “The Wall” along the U.S./Mexico border; 34% approve

• Only 39% think Trump is honest versus 55% who feel Trump is dishonest

• 48% say Trump should be impeached while 41% disagree

Things look even grimmer over at the Gallup Daily Tracking poll which shows Trump at a dismal 35% approve/60% disapprove rating.

New Music: Hercules & Love Affair “Rejoice” Feat. Rouge Mary

Pump up that bump in your step as you boogie through hump day with the new track from Hercules & Love Affair, “Rejoice.”

Stereogum says the track is “exultant and ominous, a thumping industrial-tinged gospel-dance banger.”

Via press release:

“Rejoice” does exactly that. Taking things back to the dancefloor, this celebratory song marks four years of sobriety for Butler after years of serious drug addiction. Hercules regular Rouge Mary “a gender non-conformist” of Algerian heritage takes on vocals – a fitting choice given Rouge once found shelter in a church, finding his/her musical voice there, and given how, after Andy’s life was shattered by drugs, Rouge played a key role in helping him rebuild his life.

Rouge Mary explains – “The lyrics to ‘Rejoice’ were written in a day. It’s so obvious when you look around, that we all have so many reasons to be sad and we are so used to complaining about sticky situations. So much that we forget the ancient secret. ‘Rejoice’ highlights the importance of gratitude and the power of positive thoughts. ‘Smile though your heart is aching,’ Charlie Chaplin once said. I interpret it in a very powerful way, to symbolize the urgency of the message. I feel this song is like a solution to face problems of all kind. It truly is an ode to positivity.”

The song is from the disco-house project’s upcoming album, Omnion. Release date September 1.

Australia: “Stop The Fags” Posters Appear Ahead Of Marriage Equality Vote

(image via Twitter)

The campaign for marriage equality is getting ugly fast down under in Australia.

Check out the poster above that’s been spotted in Melbourne which claims children of gay parents are disproportionately abused, suffer depression and are obese.

Additionally, a brochure seen in Sydney declares homosexuality as “a tragedy of a family” and a “curse of death in terminating the family line.”

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who opposes same-sex marriage, denounced the propaganda urging supporters and opponents to “focus on the substance of the debate.”

“I deplore disrespectful, abusive language whether it is directed at young gay people or people of other religions or other races,” he said, according to The Guardian. “If you have friends who are really distressed by this sort of language, stand up for them, put your arms around them.”

Hillary Clinton: “My Skin Crawled” As Trump Was “Literally Breathing Down My Neck” At Debate

Hillary Clinton has released audio clips from her new book, What Happened, wherein she reflects on the 2016 campaign.

In one clip she says her “skin crawled” during last October’s second presidential debate when Donald Trump followed closely behind her, practically stalking her, as she spoke.

“My skin crawled,” Clinton says in her memoir. “It was one of those moments where you wish you could hit pause and ask everyone watching, ‘Well, what would you do?'”

“Do you stay calm, keep smiling and carry on as if he weren’t repeatedly invading your space? Or do you turn, look him in the eye and say loudly and clearly, ‘Back up you creep, get away from me. I know you love to intimidate women, but you can’t intimidate me, so back up.’”

Customers Defend Trans Woman To Rude Sales Clerk On “What Would You Do?”

Hidden camera show “What Would You Do?” sets up social situations in order to explore how everyday folks will react when presented with morally questionable behavior.

In a recent episode, two actors played a women’s clothing shop saleswoman and a female transgender customer.

When the “salesgirl” makes derogatory comments to the trans customer and calling her “sir,” the unsuspecting customers step up and defend the trans woman.

“Could you just take the dress off?” the salesgirl asks in front of the other customers. “I don’t want you ripping it and no one else is going to want to wear it after you.”

Stepping in to defend the trans woman, one customer calls out the salesgirl’s bigotry, “That’s not what this town or what this store is about!”

Another shuts down the saleswoman by reminding her, “It’s 2017!”

This is will definitely lift your heart.

Fox News Host: Trump Looking At Eclipse “Perhaps The Most Impressive Thing Any President Has Ever Done”

During yesterday’s total eclipse, Donald Trump looked at the sun without glasses even as someone shouted: “Don’t look!”

Fox News host Tucker Carlson later said, in all seriousness, “Almost the entire country saw 60 percent of the sun covered up by the moon. Even the president saw it, but in a move that is not a complete surprise, he looked directly at the sun without any glasses. Perhaps the most impressive thing any president has ever done.”
