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.

    Just watched the presser, with Huckabee Sanders.    Spent a few minutes (reading from a sheet of paper) on what a crooked, lying, evil, corrupt and dishonorable guy Comey is....and how Rosenstein is merely his "puppet", in cahoots with him.  She sounded almost as strung out as Trump......almost.

    The ever present dignity of the Trump White House remaining intact......

    They must be really looking forward to Comey's TV interview on Sunday.

    The White House needs to do something tonight to stop all the news channels from talking about Comey's book....................sounds like the perfect time for a firing.

    Or for some bombs to drop...good thing Trump let Russia know so they could move their assets out of harm's way.  When Putin gives him the all clear, trump can launch some strikes on some empty buildings in Syria to distract everyone.

    Yup that will work to.

    President Trump’s advisers have concluded that a wide-ranging corruption investigation in New York, dealing with bank and tax fraud, poses a greater and more imminent threat to the president than even the special counsel’s investigation, according to several people close to Mr. Trump.

    Probably true. I’m sure trump doesn’t care at all about Cohen but he does care what trump related stuff the feds now have due to the raid on Cohen’s office

    Good call. Any guesses on the lottery numbers?

    I hope people remember how trump claimed it was like a novel, pure fiction. And they said because of that fact the entire investigation was fake news. 

    The dossier gets closer to 100% confirmation every day.   Anyone want to bet against the Russian prostitutes story?

    Is the prostitutes story true? probably, but was Trump taped and who is in possession of this tape if there is one, 

    oh this is sad news

    and to think this morning I was watching the Simpsons episode Mr Lisa Goes to Washington (it was a bush era episode)

    Amazingly Sanders lies about this photo. It’s not from the Syria bombing at all

     

    Although, this photo could have been a briefing on Syria earlier in the week when Pence was in town. Sanders' comment was certainly misleading.

    The cynical view is that the image was released in an effort to make Trump look presidential.  We remember how iconic the image of Obama and Clinton watching the OBL raid looked.  And if you view it that way, then it calls into question the entire Syrian bombing and the timing to coincide with Comey and the Cohen raid.
