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.

Fair enough.   I have had ongoing concerns about the whole American political system, irregardless of party.  Posted a rather lengthy explanation, earlier in this thread.

Joe Biden is really causing concern for me, if he indeed is the guy that is supposed to unseat Orange Man.  He's been really foggy and slurring in his speeches, and last week thanked Margaret Thatcher for calling him to persuade him to run.  He confused Thatcher with Theresa May.  If Trump had done that,  Don Lemonhead and high-pitch Stelter on CNN would have devoted three straight nights to "questioning Trump's mental faculties".  Biden gets away with it as he is a Democrat, but he's really got to pick up his game.

When will these idiots in high places learn, the cover up is always worse than the crime. By fighting so hard against this they are sinking themselves.

Right now people view Biden as some form of antidote to Trump....because he is a real nice fella.   Going forward, a lot of Dems will be arguing - too nice.  And yeah, he's old.  Part of the party see him as poster boy for "business as usual"

Trump admires the fact that husband, father, and role model Woods porked numerous porn stars, and waitresses, and seems to have gotten away with it?

Tiger Woods for president 2024!

Wrong. Trump will seek a third term, invoking the "Roosevelt" precedent and backed by the Supreme Court, or will pass the dictatorship Presidency on to his heirs, Don Jr. or Ivanka Kim Jong Trump.

Don Jr.in a bit of trouble with the Senate intel committee as they has issued a subpoena regarding the Trump tower Moscow, let's see if he pleads the 5th and we all know what his father thinks of people that plead the 5th

Trump's day so far:

- may have admitted to tax fraud as an alternative to conceding that he is a fake billionaire, saying he was "entitled" and it was "sport" to not pay any taxes and manipulate the banks

- deemed to have lost at least twice as much money than any other person in the US between 1985 and 1994

- #billiondollarloser #1 trending on Twitter

- son is being subpoenaed by the Senate

- hand-picked Attorney General found in contempt of Congress

- it came out that his chief evangelical endorsement used his personal "fixer" lawyer to help cover up  a sex scandal

- had a court ruling in NY decide that his tax returns should be turned over to Congress

- pardoned a soldier convicted of first degree murder and branded a war criminal

- woke to the news of another school shooting in Colorado

- had to account for China backpedalling in almost all of its trade deal with the US

- watched the S & P index fall for the 3rd straight day, 24 hours after seeing the Dow close 473 points down

- invoked Executive Privilege to block the release of an investigative report on him that he claims completely exonerates him, and may have abused his executive privilege in doing so (by using his power to shield himself from an investigation into him, creating possible obstruction), thus opening another door to a justifiable claim for impeachment

 

Not Trump bashing, just reporting the facts. So how was your day, everybody?

 

And not to brag, but I made $1.17 billion more than Donald Trump between 1985 and 1994 (now THAT's Trump bashing!)

OK, well that's kind of weird but sure.  How about 2024 you have a face off between Candace Owens and AOC?  That would be interesting.

But you weren't in Home Alone 2 or the Fresh Prince of Bel Air so it all evens out.

I thought it was hilarious in the last cameo because it was Kathy Griffin, and she was unveiling a magazine cover with Trump's picture and the byline "our next president?"  It's just all so surreal.

She's in Vegas right now touring with Captain BJ.  

Any one think that Don Jr.is in the Mueller report and was redacted by AG Barr after he informed someone in the Trump Administration that he was not painted in a good light and was told that Jr's name can not be made public thus 3rd party private redaction that Barr was talking about.

I like that Junior is considering pleading the fifth.  He’s admitting he’s a criminal.   What a week.  This admin is more corrupt then we ever thought. 

Unlike his father, Don Junior, under oath, would stand up and tell.....

Nevermind

Sudden outbreaks of civility, on any political thread can be a bit unsettling.   But lets carry on.

Yeah the back tracking is hilarious and certainly lightens the mood!

i wonder what the admin thinks of the senate now.
