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.

Plays well in Russia, elections coming soon. I heard this morning four of five Russians think Putin is doing a good job. They're dumber than us.

Anyway, there's no evidence whatsoever the the American missile defence shield has ever worked, very well  even against older missiles. It just doesn't work.

It's like (I've read) hitting a bullet with a bullet.  

Quote

The Director of Operational Test and Evaluation’s 2014 report stated: “The reliability of the interceptors is low, and the [Missile Defense Agency (MDA)] continues discovering new failure modes during testing.

Also, I think the deployment of these by Obama  circling Russia, was one of the reasons the Russians decided to upgrade their attack capability. The new missile he's bragging about.

Military sinkhole/money maker.

Also, not "defensive" cause if it worked one hundred percent, it would increase, not decrease the chances of nuclear war. If you could knock down all enemy nukes, what stops you from firing  your own?

nothing.

"President Donald Trump’s lawyers have urged him not to discuss details of the unfolding Russia investigation with anyone outside his legal team, warning of a conversational “bright line” that could put aides and associates in legal jeopardy, according to current and former Trump aides.

But Trump often ignores that legal advice in the presence of senior aides — including his departing confidante and White House communications director, Hope Hicks.

“I think the president has put her in a very precarious position,” a senior Trump administration official said in a recent interview.

Hicks is not alone. Current and former Trump aides describe a president who often fails to observe boundaries about the Russia probe and who calls staffers into his office and raises the subject without warning."

 

-politico.

"He that lieth down with dogs shall rise up with fleas" 

 these Trump people deserve no sympathy.

Not even the slightest surprised.

1) he has given so many hints that he loves authoritarian rule and looks up to them.

2) He IS stupid enough to say that **** publicly.

 

Not even sure why this is actual news?

The end of Trumps stay in the White House is going to be epic.

Circus tent fire.....

A poll found that 52% of people who identify as or lean Republican said they would support postponing the 2020 election to ensure that only eligible citizens could vote if it was proposed by President Trump.

An Interior Department advisory committee voted unanimously to cut the royalty rate that oil and gas companies pay for offshore drilling in federal waters. The Interior Department’s Royalty Policy Committee held a meeting in Houston to evaluate a proposal to lower the royalty rate companies pay on offshore drilling from 18.75 percent to 12.5 percent to promote more offshore production.    The lower rate would apply to the value of oil and gas from drilling-rights leases sold starting later this year. this amount is the lowest rate the government can charge for offshore leases.

Poor poor oil companies. Needed a break.
