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:

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.

Twitter goes crazy after Democrats in the House Intelligence Committee voted to conceal a memo that allegedly contains shocking information that could uncover abuses under Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) by the Obama government, specifically senior Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigations officials.

Republican representatives who have seen the memo, call for its release suggesting that its contents would prove FISA abuses and reveal corruption in the “Russian collusion” investigation.

Hey There, just wanted to get your thoughts on the stuff below, figured you might have missed that.

Then stop quoting me- people might get the wrong impression. 

Aaaand you haven't explained your  "virtue-signaling" comment- I am genuinely interested for your reasoning. 

 

The only one that looked stupid in that video was Mark Dice- then he confirmed it by opening his mouth.  

So... You don't think Trump is racist? I would love it if you were to shed a little light on the subject, maybe I got it all wrong.

I think you missed the point. 

Why are we bringing in people from shithole Africa and shithole Haiti when we can have nice white people from Norway. That’s the poont  

Fair enough.  Which has higher crime rates and what are the stats of crimes committed by different peoples?  That is a valid discussion to be had, and I ask honestly, I don't know.

This is coming from someone who knows immigrants from both Norway and Africa.  To be honest, the Norwegians are a feisty bunch.....I married into a family.  The African immigrants I personally know are nice and attend my church.  The focus should be that whoever is coming from wherever, they should be thoroughly checked and vetted.

W..w...w...w...w... Why does a doctor order tests? 

W..w...w...w...w...What does he do with the results?

I....i....i....i.... If those test results are available to another doctor for a second opinion- can he use them to form an informed diagnosis? 

S....s....s.....s... seriously, they provide the results to the public so they can scrutinize and make their own conclusions. 

 

Context and history, He's ******* racist. 

Not Nazi racist, more like ignorant blowhard grandpa racist. 

Also- IBG racists usually don't know they are racist. 

Not sure why you are defending a racist basslicker. 

I was making a comment that a Dr. on T.V. who has never examined a person can't make a diagnosis on that person.

Trump has done more good for the U.S. in 14 months than Obama did in 8 years.  Stock market record highs, economy recovering, large companies increasing wages/benefits because of tax cuts, many millions of middle class Americans keeping more of their own money, supporting the right of unborn children to life, getting tough with the corrupt cesspool U.N. 
...............albeit with the worst potty-mouth of a president in the last 30 some-odd years.  Go back any further than that then you hear Democrat presidents talk about 'fooling the n*gro population.'

 

To address my last line with the *............how can we have open debate on the evils of the world if we censor the past and the language used?

I agree.  I wonder if that complete idiot Don Lemon is going to say anything about this - I doubt  it though - he only lets through what he wants to let through that supports his and CNN's narrative, unless we get a gem like the other night when MLK's nephew made him look so freaking stupid.  That is still one of my most classic "Don the Idiot" moments.

He's so racist, this president, and yet unemployment among African-Americans is at the lowest its ever been in history.  So weird....

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/05/black-unemployment-rate-falls-to-record-low.html

I also loved how fake news outlets like Vox and Mother Jones fell all over themselves trying to discredit the above news, or at best, do what they could to make sure Trump didn't get any credit.  But that's not the point.  I think Trump doesn't deserve much credit.  But I just find it kind of ironic that given how much of a giant racist he apparently is, more African-Americans are finding jobs than ever before in history in the USA.  Something doesn't add up in the hyperbole being spewed by the Left here.

So... you cling to this one "example" (cuz, it's really a stretch) which has no bearing on trump being racist or not, yet you ignore EVERYTHING else that he is directly responsible for, said or done. 

 

Bravo.

 

I know I nor anyone else will change your mind on anything of this nature (nor do I really want to), I just find it crazy interesting to see how you defend some of the things you do.

You're trying too hard to make this a thing. Lemon looked surprised his guest said something stupid. Not sure how that made Lemon look like an idiot.

Yes, the left gets a free pass from the media. We barely heard anything about Clinton's emails.

Correlation does not mean causation. It's hilarious when hyper-partisan homers (on either side of the spectrum, to be clear) spout off nonsensical garbage.

imagine being so personally hurt by criticism of Trump that you attack a news anchor and post silly memes.   Trump supporter. Lol

There were a lot of articles defending her, you're correct.

And just as many saying she's a treacherous murderer who should be locked up.

It goes both ways in today's extremely polarized and toxic political landscape.

I have a friend who swears up and down that Trump is the complete cause of the economy being on such a rise these last 2 years in the states... yet completely ignores the fact it was essentially on the same path  when Obama was there.   Trump supporters are funny, they refuse to verify trumps comments and take them as the word of god.

Trump's budget has been in place how long exactly?

 

Trump being responsible for the economy over two years is an amazing feat for a guy who’s been president for a year. Lol

anyway...

Yowza!  Even the most basic of vetting would have found what a disgusting POS this guy is (not was, I don't buy that apology for one second) and excluded him from a government job, even a Trump government job.  He even goes after his fellow soldiers.  Pathetic.
