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.

This is particularly loathsome. Trump using his position to wage a personal war against someone he dislikes. Worse yet he’s trying to harm the separate business the guy owns because he also owns the Washington post.  

The message is clear. Media should kowtow to trump or he will set out to destroy you.  

Hard to believe Eve trump supporters would see this as appropriate. 

Then there is this guy. Who is now admitting he’s still support trump if he raped someone.  And why would he even say that? Surely the right answer is a resounding no?  But...he thinks trump might have raped someone and he doesn’t want to be held accountable for his words later. That’s the only reason he’d give this answer.

This is probably a stealth attack on the US postal service. Republicans hate the post office.

Trumps just pissed because Trumps wealth is Bezos spare change.

Amazon is probably keeping it afloat. 

Looking for a why for anything this Prik does is easy.

 1. Does it make money for a.) him b.) his kids. c.) his friends d.) Some Russian billionaire that has him by the nads.

2.  Does it undo whatever Obama did.

3. Does he think it Improving his "ratings"

4. Does it undermine "an enemy"

Other than those things, absolutely nothing  Trump does makes any sense whatsoever. 

His own man called him a moron. Probably an overestimate.

If we know they are Russian bots why does Twitter not just ban them?

 

This guy is great.  Trump needs him for his Russia defence  lol 

 

On the other hand, this guy...not so much

I post this because it’s the difference between conservatives and the crazy alt right Trumpologists 

The attacks on the parkland survivors has been especially disgusting. And the sex ring is an old conspiracy they which is even stranger when you consider trumps actual issues with sexual harassment and his relationship with actual sex ring operators. 

Trump trade war effecting his farmer/rural supporters.    Aw. too bad.

So Trump wants to invite Putin to the White House, I wonder how horrified the people of the USA will be when Trump drops down to one knee and kisses Putins ring.

Can you imagine the sickening gushing from Sarah Sanders and Trump if that happened?  And of course, it would later come out that Trump went to a private room for a private meeting with Putin with only Putin's translator allowed in.

Good post with links at reddit about Putin's activities:

"Not to mention the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have accused the Russian government of a multi-stage intrusion campaign targeting the U.S. energy grid. These attacks included critical infrastructure in energy, nuclear, commercial facilities, water facilities, and aviation facilities.[1]

And the online disinformation campaign hasn't stopped. The Intelligence Agencies heads unanimously agree that the Russians will attack the 2018 election.[2] President Trump has refused to act, last month NSA Director Admiral Rodgers testified to Congress that President Trump had not ordered a disruption into the Russian election meddling during the 2018 midterms.[3]

Russia has promoted disinformation campaigns to destablize Europe and the United States in an attempt to distort democracy in the West.[4] The European Commission has warned that Russia has been very successful at spreading disinformation across the European Union.[5]

Here is the report by the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team where analytic efforts undertaken by DHS and the FBI have found a multistage intrusion campaign perpetuated by the Russian state.[6] This isn't fake news, the United States is under cyber attack from Russia.

This joint Technical Alert (TA) is the result of analytic efforts between the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This alert provides information on Russian government actions targeting U.S. Government entities as well as organizations in the energy, nuclear, commercial facilities, water, aviation, and critical manufacturing sectors. It also contains indicators of compromise (IOCs) and technical details on the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by Russian government cyber actors on compromised victim networks. DHS and FBI produced this alert to educate network defenders to enhance their ability to identify and reduce exposure to malicious activity.

DHS and FBI characterize this activity as a multi-stage intrusion campaign by Russian government cyber actors who targeted small commercial facilities’ networks where they staged malware, conducted spear phishing, and gained remote access into energy sector networks. After obtaining access, the Russian government cyber actors conducted network reconnaissance, moved laterally, and collected information pertaining to Industrial Control Systems (ICS)."

Trump might have gone too far.

For the layman, extra stinky when you consider this context 

What does it say to the UK?

The whole Western world has joined forces  with the UK on this, except the United States of Trump.

They must have something really devastating on Trump. 

Only possible explanation.

Of course we will find out about it from TASS Russian News Agency

His supper for Sinclair is not surprising. But it is dangerous and akin to pushing a state agenda.  When he complimented the Chinese president for his dictatorial power grab, he meant it. 

 

Yup

 

 

Good for that Fox reporter (or produced or whomever alerted fellow media). But what does it say about Fox News when the government wants to shut out media but allows you?

 

Americans won't be able to sell their cars anywhere outside of USA and Canada. 

Well done Trump!

 

At this point it looks like Trump is just throwing  **** against a wall to see what sticks, he's getting bad advice from his Fox Cronies because he doesn't know nothing about anything and was not smart enough to get people in his inner circle that did, now he is just flaying away taking shots at anybody and everybody.
