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 think it would be helpful for viewers to include how many indictments and convictions/plea deals they've already secured in relation to each investigation. 

 

I guess the Trump University fraud predates the current list.

Is Trump's NY tax fraud investigation captured under the Trump Org investigation or are only Federal investigations captured.

 

Follow up question(s)... When Trump eventually cuts a deal and pleads guilty to a host of fraud related charges, does he see a jail? Or does he live long enough to see anything through? 

No jail unless the deal is to spare his children jail.  But even then, would Trump make the sacrifice of jail at his age to protect his kids?

I can only see him protecting one of his kids. The rest will probably rot in jail hoping that daddy comes to visit them. 

If any more evidence was needed, that Trump is merely Putin's pony......

Vlad couldn't come up with a better job of revisionist talking points, here.   All Republicans should be appalled.....and ashamed.

Another tweet I read earlier said (and I'm paraphrasing): You controlled the House, Senate and WH for two years and you couldn't find money to build the wall but, all of a sudden, now you need you think it's a good idea to shutdown gov't over wall funding. 

Wouldn't want the IMPOTUS to "look bad"

Supreme Commander Trump says he will call an emergency and build his wall that the Mexican's were going to pay for, also says that 800,000 plus workers don't need to paid for months, years even.

He said he could call for a state of emergency but is not doing it. Feels like he's floating a balloon. Of course, he'll get confirmation from Fox News that it's a genius move by a master tactician, then go ahead and do it next week. 

Trump on human traffickers' routes: "They get off the road, and they drive out into the desert and they come in, they make a left turn - usually it's a left, not a right." After getting distracted, he resumed: "They make a right turn before they get to the port of entry."

A favorite quote of mine from Trump's delusion statement today. His lies don't even last line to line anymore. They used to just change daily. 

Full quote, also from Dale:

Apparently according to a house Democrat he can't do what he thinks he could do.

Trump lives in a delusional fantasy world....where thoughts turn to Nancy Pelosi....with a platinum blond wig, high heels, a whip, a bedpan....and a come hither look.

Of course he is just ask him 😀

So apparently federal employee's and their union are not happy about working for free despite what the supreme leader would have you think and are suing the government.

One of Trump's spinners (Cooper) described the shutdown, on CNN as a "paid holiday" for Federal employees

Interesting that US domestic policy is in the hands of Rush Limbaugh & Anne Coulter.

He’s becoming totally unhinged. And scared.

Literally projectile vomiting on Twitter.

He was reportedly dropping numerous F-bombs towards Pelosi when meeting with her (remember that when he feigns outrage over the MutherF'er remark).  And also asked her why everyone wants to impeach him.  

The walls are closing in.
