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.

Possible White House reactions in the coming month

I should be making popcorn while watching them leave, whose next?

Hope is gone. 

Hicks said her departure was not related to her testimony to a congressional committee on Tuesday about a probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
Which of course, explains why she plays shutout with the House Intel Committee (just like Bannon).....and immediately heads for the hills. 

Wonder if she caught a whiff, during her interview with Mueller.....

You think Hicks needs to lawyer up, have a feeling Mueller will be in touch very some, something about "little white lies" for the POTUS  probably perked up his ears.

If only there was some way for trump to ask sessions himself 

 

The response:

 

It’s certainly a surprise. Is she trying to save herself?

or....has she flipped (or planning to?). 

Keep in mind she was involved in crafting the Don Jr denial about the Russia meeting, in which Trump Sr took part and lies leading to potential obstruction. We know mueller has looked at that. Hope was there and knows. 

Hope was there for a lot. She knows a lot. She admitted to congress to telling white lies. We know mueller has not hesitated to charge people with lying. 

I suspect mueller caught her in some lies.  She’s young and naive. Remember Bannon (I think) told her to get a lawyer or he was calling her dad. She framed her lies as white lies. If she pulled that with Mueller he likely threatens to charge her. 

Shes 29. She’d flip. 

 

 

To be fair some sources say it was the Porter situation that had her thinking of leaving and that would certainly be understandable. 

She was questioned by Mueller in early December, for what its worth.

“Mooch”. It’s what he calls himself. He’s on the list. But probably angling for a return. 

Gonna miss that hotness TBH.

Bah, Trump's firing list still fits in a single tweet. Weak!

This implies she was pushed

So, this leaves only the best people, then?

So whose next, lets see will it be the weasel AG Sessions, the lackey Rosenstein, the hard ass General Kelly, the  not ready for prime time Ivanka and Jerad, Cray Cray Miller, or the megaphone Sanders.

 

 

 

 

 

My guess would be Kushner is next. With the security clearance downgrade, reports on his being manipulated by foreign governments and now this:

 

White Lies Matter.

Those were the best of the Trump lot. Now he's going for the dregs.

I mean, is their a deeper gutter he can check for his next set of appointments?

Well, for as much **** as I dump on trump- I need to give him props for his last meeting on Gun laws.

Trump was explicit about what he wanted Wednesday. On camera, he'd pushed to raise the age at which an individual can purchase a rifle from 18 to 21 even after a weekend lunch with officials from the National Rifle Association, who have publicly opposed the change. Trump called to expand background checks and told the House's Majority Whip Steve Scalise that a concealed carry bill would never pass attached to legislation to incentivize states to enter data into the national background checks database.

Well that was Wednesday.   Who is to say that Trump won't munch Cheetos tonight in bed, watch Fox and Friends......and start talking NRA love, on Friday?

True and I totally expect that (minor modification in changing Cheeseburger from cheetos)- if/when it happens, I will happily **** on trump again.

Yeah, talk is cheap -- but if he follows through on some gun control measures it will be a legit achievement and I will have props for him.

 

The moral and patriotic Republican legislators in those red states will never go for it.  

I wonder what Pepe will think when Trump shows up in his mom's basement to take away his AR-15?
