US Politics

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 landed - a long trip, but everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office. There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea. Meeting with Kim Jong Un was an interesting and very positive experience. North Korea has great potential for the future!

Newly-released commercial satellite imagery suggests North Korea is continuing to develop ballistic missile sites at more than a dozen locations, amid stalled discussions over the country's nuclear weapons program between North Korea and American diplomats.

Mr. Trump is suggesting that forest management played a role, but California’s current wildfires aren’t forest fires.
 

“These fires aren’t even in forests,” said Max Moritz, a wildfire specialist at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Rather, the Camp and Woolsey fires, which are ripping through Northern and Southern California, began in areas known as the wildland-urban interface: places where communities are close to undeveloped areas, making it easier for fire to move from forests or grasslands into neighborhoods.

the majority of California’s forests are federally held.

Of the state’s 33 million acres of forest, federal agencies, including the Forest Service and the Interior Department, own and manage 57 percent.

NEW YORK — CNN sued the Trump administration Tuesday, demanding that correspondent Jim Acosta’s credentials to cover the White House be returned because their revocation violates the constitutional right of freedom of the press.

The administration stripped Acosta of his pass to enter the White House following President Donald Trump’s contentious news conference last week, where Acosta refused to give up a microphone when the president said he didn’t want to hear anything more from him.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said “this is just more grandstanding from CNN, and we will vigorously defend against his lawsuit.”

Upchuckabee Sanders is such an oxygen thief.

Imagine being THAT White House and accusing someone else of grandstanding.  

Rumours abound Sanders is looking for the exit.  

No surprise there. Probably based on advice from her physician for putting her liver at risk with these:

If Whitaker recuses himself I’d love to be a fly on the wall when trump finds out. 

 

I guess doctored video won’t stand up in court so they have to come up with a new story.   

Only the best are hired to be fired, revolving door soon to start spinning again.

Isn’t it weird that the caravan invasion of terrorists that required a massive military response isn’t worth talking about since the elections? 

FLOTUS  is just as wretched as the POTUS they deserve each other, as for Acosta he should make Trump crawl over on hand and knees when they have to give him his hard pass back to him.

That **** ended the moment the polls closed. So transparent, yet...

If this woman Ricardel is close to John Bolton, good riddance.

Maybe the world will catch a break, and he'll be next. We would all be a lot safer.

One of the biggest chicken hawks.

They'll have to doctor it up some more to show the intern asking for the mic instead of trying to grab it while he was speaking.

The worst part is the troops are still there and will be until mid-December unless the orders are changed. Of course, Capt. Bone Spurs doesn't care about the troops being away from their families for US Thanksgiving. He'll just let them stay at the border twiddling their thumbs, sleeping in tents and eating crappy rations while adding hundreds of millions to the US debt. Just add this to the list of ways he's disrespected the military.

Trump takes a nice little holiday to France, then comes back on Veteran's day and takes the day off. 

I was reading that he is severely depressed. And angry. Making the West Wing a Hell Hole to work in. He's finally realized that he's in deep sh.. with the Democrats & the Mueller Investigation.  He's withdrawing into himself. Pretty sad, eh? LOL.

You think he is depressed and angry now can't wait till the new year

I think he'll quit before his term is over.

You might be right, guess it all depends on what Mueller has on him, how much this new temp AG can protect him and what the Democrats want to investigate.
