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.

The Republicans were digging up dirt on Trump. 

That's where the Steele dossier came from.

black is white, up is down.

 

And its important to note that the guy who compiled the dossier was an expert on Russia, a top intelligence guy, had routinely provided the US with intelligence in the past and also had no clue who he was compiling the data for (ie. he didnt know it was for GOP or the Dems). 

Trump is a criminal.  He's hoping that the public turns against Mueller so he can justify firing him without kicking off a constitutional crises that might see his removal and a potential violent revolution.  Think "Arab Spring" but in the US.... yikes.  So far, all his blathering is just noise and isnt gaining traction. 

Sarah Huckabee Sanders on FOX has called special counsel Robert Mueller's ongoing investigation into possible ties between President Trump's campaign and Russia "a hoax and a waste of time."

Her master's voice.....

Except it is pretty clear, and a consensus among intelligence officials.... that the warrant application on Page was based on additional information and not just the Steele dossier.  The redacted memo, from Nunes purporting that the info came from the dossier was simply a put up/distraction job.

So it's gone from a Witch Hunt to a Hoax, I'm guessing throw something against the wall and see if it sticks this time, bring up new talking points and deflect away from talking about Russia having the POTUS bent over, Americans better be careful they may wake up 1 morning and see this on their tv screens.

How can something that has already led to numerous indictments, convictions and guilty pleas be a hoax or witch hunt?  If Trump did nothing wrong, he has nothing to worry about.  As the President, he should be thrilled with the results Mueller has already gotten.

How dumb is this White House

He might not be wrong. What would be the best way to sow political discord in the USA?  Flip both the house and the senate... I think that is what russia is going to do.  

Could you imagine? 

Aaaaand all subtlety of gas-lighting- out the window:

Trump tells veterans: What you're seeing is not what's happening

From CNN's Kevin Liptak

President Trump encouraged his supporters to stick with him, even if they're seeing signs of trouble.

"Just remember what you’re seeing and what you're reading is not what’s happening," Trump said at the VFW convention in Kansas City.

He said the US economy is thriving, and not to believe work otherwise.

"Stick with us," Trump said. "Don’t believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news."

 

I'm guessing Trump couldn't get anymore Russian monies to keep his daughter's business afloat.

Trump's world

So the trump base wasn’t able to sustain Ivanka? Weird.  Her end game has always been a run for presidency herself. 

 

In the wake of the disastrous Helsinki summit......Trump is currently playing the ole distraction card, flipping wildly from channel to channel......

even getting free patents on **** from china, exemptions from trump tariffs, and the like first daughter still cant make a go of it in the real business world.

what a shock.

have not seen or heard much from first son in law, and son lately what gives?

The White House Transcript Is Missing the Most Explosive Part of the Trump–Putin Press Conference

It’s not clear whether the omission was intended, but the meaning of a key exchange is dramatically altered as a result.

 

 

 

Quote

Compare this transcript, of what actually happened, to the White House’s version. Here is the record of what took place, starting with the last part of Putin’s comments before Mason’s questions. Putin is describing his willingness to assist with Robert Mueller’s probe (bolding is mine):

Vladimir Putin: That could be a first step, and we can also extend it. Options abound, and they all can be found in an appropriate legal framework.

Jeff Mason: President Putin, did you want President Trump to win the election and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?

Putin: Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.–Russia relationship back to normal.

And here’s the key section from the White House transcript, which makes it seem as though Putin is still talking about the Mueller probe:  

PRESIDENT PUTIN: That could be a first step, and we can also extend it. Options abound, and they all can be found in an appropriate legal framework.

Q: And did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?

PRESIDENT PUTIN:  Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.–Russia relationship back to normal.

It should be illegal to openly lie on a transcript.  Its a complete fabrication.

He's right.....there should only be a single government channel....like I saw in Burma.   Mind you, Fox could fill that gap.

Beyond ease of getting a gun, America is a violent society.
