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.

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.

when a guy avoids reality and only pays attention to his cheer leaders it gets ugly when reality rears back and slaps you in the face. Just wait until the Democrats actually start work in congress and dig up all of his ****. He will have a meltdown.

Haha, I already posted the response where you were wrong.  Period.   If there was video of Trump clubbing a baby you'd find some way to blame the baby and call it self defense.  You're a naked Trump lover but dont have the courage to admit it.  You're perfectly entitled to embrace the alt right, white nationalist agenda and everything that goes a long with it but its telling that you wont admit it.

I dont know how it compares historically, but on its face, he's one of the least busy Presidents with all his "executive" time and days off.  Even if you hate Hilary, can you imagine her working less than Trump?  Not a chance.

This is going to be very difficult for some people to wrap their heads around

They have to support CNN cause they don't want precedent set which can be used against them.

Or they're trying to regain a tiny shred of credibilty.

Probably not.

Trump is on a mad tirade today.  His usual M.O. is to scream lies as loudly as he can.  He's harping on Mueller not being "Senate approved" because his own AG was not Senate approved.    The Special Counsel doesnt need senate approval, was appointed by Trump's own AG and was universally endorsed and would easily have received Senate approval had it been needed.  As we speak there is a bi-partisan motion in the Senate to protect Mueller.

And he still wants you to think Mueller is a Democrat.  He's a Republican.  Trump is desperate.

I like his rant about Mueller not investigating the Democrats, which is not what the Special Counsel was tasked to do. 

But, his followers are stupid sheep, so, "BAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

Not to mention one of the reasons he's President today is because the FBI did investigate Hilary and made that bone head announcement right before the election.  Had Comey given the same respect to the election as Mueller (by going dark during the election), its very likely she's President today.  Of course, Comey was pushed into it by Trump supporters in the New York FBI office, controlled by Rudy.

His followers are consumed with and driven by hatred, anger, and the idea that they are deserving of everything and others nothing. That everything is against them.

"the war on christmas" 

I heard a right wing radio host ranting about "parasites" in America. Not much doubt who he was referring to.

 

 

Naturally, the Orange one and his phony baloney administration is doubling down, yet again.

They're really pushing the "scorched earth" policy. 

All hail Presidente Cheetolini, bow down to his greatness, unless it is pouring rain cause his hair's force field is not strong enough.

You know what liberals love about all this Trump hate?

It deflects significantly from the bonehead piece of trash we have for a prime mininister... Turd-eau.

I don't think it deflects, just puts it into perspective. The Canadian Politics thread is primarily a Trudeau bash-fest.

How so? Liberal support is down and there are plenty of posts critical of Trudeau in the correct thread. Weird post for this thread.

He also ignores the fact that Mueller has twice had senate approval from his time as FBI director and that Mueller was originally appointed by W.

You do realize the irony of posting this deflecting and boneheaded comment in this thread, right...?

Looks like Acosta can go back to pissing off Trump and the WH

Trumps gonna lose it today lol

 

Immediate mental image of the patented Trump arms crossed with a big ol' pout on the lips when Acosta asks a question. 

Trumps headed for a section 25 (mentally unfit), it's just a matter of time, he's already showing signs of the early onset of either dementia of Alzheimer's.

I wouldn't be surprised

Unfortunately very unlikely.  Because its not just a matter of the VP and cabinet executing the order.  President can issue a declaration in opposition and it goes to Congress who must uphold the declaration of unfitness by 2/3's in both Houses.  So it requires a ton of Republicans to go along with it.  

It would probably be easier for those people to privately convince Trump to resign then to remove him forcibly.

Trump says that the questions from Mueller are not that difficult even though he hasn't responded yet.
