Lets see if we can keep this thread a little more civil.

I found this interview very interesting.  A lot of soft balls thrown at Trump, he explained his back pedalling on his more extreme issues as a lot of his claims as opening bids for negotiation purposes.  Which .. whatever .. I still think that those are insincere claims he used to get elected.

He does now come across way more presidential then he did prior to the election.  A lot of his noise, yelling, and rhetoric has been scaled back.

Do respect this one though:

Quote

 

Lesley Stahl: Are you gonna take the salary, the president’s salary?

Donald Trump: Well, I’ve never commented on this, but the answer is no. I think I have to by law take $1, so I’ll take $1 a year. But it’s a -- I don’t even know what it is.

Donald Trump: Do you know what the salary is?

Lesley Stahl: $400,000 you’re giving up.

Donald Trump: No, I’m not gonna take the salary. I’m not taking it.

It is extremely simple to hack some of the voting computers.  Diebold voting software used to be proprietary, no paper trail, technicians changing software;  votes flipping from one candidate to the other right in front of the voter.

I think quite a few states have moved away from them, but I stopped paying attention cause I don't give a crap what happens down there anymore, (other than what country they bomb to rubble, and what they do to us with their crazy trump trade ideas).

USA has jumped the shark.

Greatest country that ever was!

Gore walked, when Bush lost Florida. Then they ran around blaming Ralph Nader for their loss.

This time.... Bernie. 

Everyone's fault but their own.  Clinton still can't accept any responsibility.

They don't "do" self examination.

The Democrats are spineless. They always do the easy thing. They would "take the high road".

They probably think they'll be back in the driver's seat soon enough, anyway.

Except she has accepted responsibility for mistakes she's made during the campaign.

Maybe you didn't read my post.... before you hit the keyboard.

I gave an opinion about what they would do.

 

Not at all.  I was being sarcastic...about both parties.  Im perplexed you took the Dems remark as a personal insult.  Im sorry you feel that way.

All in God's plan, he's preparing the little ones for a life of  stray bullets and random gun play.

Yeah, I like the Clintons to a degree.  And Hilary is sort of damned either way.  There is a bit of a "*****" mentality with strong women that isnt deserved (I know I know...she can be ...tough).  But she admits her failures.   But regardless, if half the stuff being looked at is true, she got screwed big time.

More like gravy train. Drain the swamp, huh? 

I am surprised the Devos is even lasting this long or Carson for this matter

Carson may have been a brilliant doctor but as a politician & human being he's an arse.  

 

What a jerk

The guy spends more time watching tv, tweeting and golfing then being the actual president.

 

His comments are beyond stupid. He’s a vile human being.

For Agent Orange....it's about priorities.   On one hand, actually assisting desperate and suffering Americans in Puerto Rico........on the other....golfing, twitter, more serial lying,  and using the flag as a fake patriotic issue to bash wealthy athletes.....in order to appease and and massage his insipid "base".

Easy choice.   A President only has so much time on his hands.

 

 

 

This is either very telling or very irresponsble

From CNN:

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump hosted his top military brass and their spouses for dinner at the White House on Thursday night. The group posed for a photo. Then this exchange with reporters happened:

Trump: "You guys know what this represents? Maybe it's the calm before the storm."

Reporter: "What's the storm?"

Trump: "It could be ... the calm, the calm before the storm."

Trump: "We have the world's great military people in this room, I will tell you that. And uh, we're gonna have a great evening, thank you all for coming."

Reporter: "What storm, Mr. President?"

Trump: "You'll find out."
