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.

Rudy moving the goal posts yet again to soften the public up to accept that the campaign DID conspire with Russia.  The next goal post movement will be "sure Trump knew about it, but he didnt know it was illegal so so what".

If this guy was defending me I would be very worried.

I was going to say that too...like, is Rudy secretly working for Mueller?  He's terrible!!  And its not even one change in strategy, they literally move the goal posts every time they think Mueller has learned something new.  Eventually, they'll just confess.

Perhaps Uncle Rudy read this one, early in the morning:

Cohen on poll rigging report: 'What I did was at the direction of and for the sole benefit of' Trump

https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/425805-cohen-responds-to-report-on-poll-rigging-what-i-did-was-at-

Couple of interesting things about this one:

Even when you agreed to do crooked deals with the Trump Campaign.....you still get ripped off
Trump could be right about some polls being rigged

 

 

The trip that Pelosi was scheduled was to affirm the US' commitment to NATO in Brussels, no stops in Egypt were planned, and to express appreciation and thanks for those troops in Afghanistan. She was also supposed to get briefings and intel from those on the front lines.

3 takes:

1) The President is petulant baby. 

2) He is acting as an agent of Putin, weakening the US at every turn.

3) The US is a banana republic.

Trump "here's some candy, now give me my wall", Trump is losing this one and his base is starting to fracture.

I saw a story that Cohen was getting nervous about public testimony as a result of Trump's tweets.  He feels his family might be in danger.

So Trump accomplished his goal.  Incredible.  He's totally a mob boss.

Just wow!

Is this new information just coming out or am I way behind the times. The FBI mislead the judge when they obtained their FISA warrant on the trump campaign......

This if fruit of the poison tree, anything gained from the warrant would be inadmissible.

This can't be real?

lol  puh leeze hahahaha

The best part about this revelation of Cohen messing with polls is Rudy being mad that Cohen got paid more than he passed on the guy he hired to mess with the polls.  Like THAT's the story to Rudy lol

The FISA warrant and the Steel dossier have been talked about to death.  It was a GOP team that started the dossier.  Dems only took it over and court was told that.  

Nothing in the dossier has been proven false but many things were proven true.  You STILL want to try and fight the validity of the dossier?  lol

Someone didn't get the memo that the talking points have moved past whether Trump colluded with Russia to influence the election to the president can do anything.

It's not about the dossier, it's about how the FBI obtained the FISA warrant without giving the judge all relevant information, I thought you read the article, clearly you didn't.

Hahaha no kidding.   I like when the “I hate trump” trump supporters pretend they’re having unbiased discussions that all about how awesome trump is s the investigations are witch hunts. 

Makes sense 

like every day is a new scandal.  

Im actually surprised that trump would paint himself into a corner like he has done with the shut down.  

And we didn’t even talk about the ISIS attack that killed several people after trump declared them totally defeated.

Did trump address and denounce the terror attack at all? Like all POTUS' before him Did? 

Oh wait... that would be inconvient to his "ISIS is defeated" mantra.

I don’t think so. I think Pence did while also claiming isis was defeated. If it wasn’t so tragic it would be hilarious. 

They take Pence out of a great bigly box, once in a while.....and once he does his lapdog thing....they just put him away, again

If that Buzzfeed piece that came out a couple of hours ago is true and accurate Trump is finished.

President Trump reportedly directed his former longtime lawyer Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about the effort to build a Trump Tower in Moscow during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Lawmakers are expected to ask Cohen about this issue when he testifies publicly before the House Oversight Committee on Feb. 7.

Bet on it.

Interesting timing on that leak

 

Well, the very first article of impeachment against Nixon was.......

Obstruction by directing others to lie.
