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.

This presser is a new low 

Americans must be so proud

This is incredible.  

Hes a total simpleton and desperate. Telling the female reporter to sit down. True colours. 

So embarrassing. This is like...something else.

He appeals to a lot of defective, not very smart Americans.

"Now, now... We should try and understand her point of view and find middle ground," said no rational person ever.

It's amazing how both Fox and MSNBC can find lunatics to support their points about the intelligence or lack thereof on either side of the spectrum.  MSNBC runs something about a Trump supporter that says groping is ok, and tonight Tucker Carlson will have a Democrat who supports 100% taxation.  It never ends.

It's getting worse for Kavanaugh, Avenatti saying his client may pursue a criminal complaint, and now a allegation from the late 90's when he was in his 30's

 

Good thing the Senate has this under control and will be able to properly investigate this entire matter by speaking to one person and then voting.

yes, it may be partisan drivel, but if over 60 million Americans (probably more) feel that same way, how do you change their minds?  

You can't.  You need to work harder to get the vote out on your side.

Agree 100%.  The biggest mistake Hillary's campaign made was assuming that Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan were in the bag, and not bothering to campaign in those states.  

lol Hilary

Anyone hear about the hearing today?  Seems important.  And not a laughing matter.  Dr Ford is 100% credible and if trying to impeach her fear of flying by pointing out she has flown many times is all they've got, they're screwed.

she always seemed credible. This shows the White House thought they could tear her down in questioning.  

Hillary? why is she still on people's minds? that was 2 years ago. we are well past that. 

 

That hearing today though...

Leahy: "What is the strongest memory you have, strongest memory of the incident, something that you cannot forget? Take whatever time you need."
Ford: "Indelible in the hippocampus is the laughter, the uproarious laughter between the two and they're having fun at my expense."

I’m only able to follow online. Is she doing that badly

I always suspected she would. 

From what I understand- she has made her name in prosecuting sex criminals... This choice may have back fired on the GOP- thank goodness, cuz them choosing a woman prosecutor to do their dirty work... ******* cowards.

I dont hate the idea in theory although, its a bit hypocritical to not want an FBI investigation saying the Senate is able to investigate and then to want an outside prosecutor to question the victim saying you need someone qualified to do it.

And then the Dems should be able to choose a prosecutor to question Kav.

They wanted to avoid the striking image of a bunch of old white men who said stupid things in recent days grilling a victim.  But as you said, the image is now a bunch of old white men too gutless to question her so they bring in a female ringer....which is really transparent.

Saw a poll, 52% of Republican supporters say Kav should be confirmed EVEN if he absolutely did these things.  What an embarrassment that party has become.  And why many of us conservatives want to see the Dems clean their clocks for want of any other alternative.  Its not that we want a far left party...we want a center-right party that is fair and responsible.  We dont have it and we cant have until this grotesque Frankenstein that the GOP has devolved into is wiped away.

And you just know these guys wont be moved.  They will say "see Kav said it didnt happen so it doesnt matter how credible, striking, gripping, Dr Ford was...he didnt do it."
 

Reactions from Fox News....

Chris Wallace:

Quote

"This was extremely emotional, extremely raw, and extremely credible,” “Nobody could listen to her deliver those words and talk about the assault and the impact it had had on her life and not have your heart go out to her,” th “She obviously was traumatized by an event.”
“This is a disaster for the Republicans,”

Judge Napolitano (a Trump favorite)

Quote

"[Ford] is extremely credible and Rachel Mitchell is not laying a glove on her... the President cannot be happy with this."
