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.

Delusional Trump sees a big crowd protesting against him and of course he thinks that they are cheering and supporting him.

I don't think he is seeing the protesters or supporters ... I think he is just making **** up in his mind and sharing it.

I think he is disconnected from reality.

 

 

Yes, 75th anniversary of D-day is the best and most appropriate time to celebrate a POTUS who faked a medical issue to get out of serving his country, while hundreds of thousands died. Yes. So. Appropriate. GTFO here.

So Swampy. 

 

 

I always liked Boehner.

 

 

What's sad, is that anyone expect more from trump?

What is more sad... this is the new norm and more people are letting this lack of decency slide.

WHat an *******.

 

 

Trump sees himself as all powerful and in fact untouchable but as soon as he is ousted as POTUS he will find out differently.

  Bronze Star and a Purple Heart Medal?  Never mind.

Trump has every right to comment on Mueller.... given that The Donald has a Bone Spur Star and a Stormy Medal.

 

That is quite the guest list

 

 

It's like Purplebricks for lobbying.

Looks like Hannity has selective memory when it comes to locking people up and what the great Emperor Cheetolini has said in the past. 

 

It's refreshing and inspiring, when politicians admit they have an evolving opinion as more facts arise, instead of blindly doubling down.

Immigration from central america..... why people flee

"Honduras is one of the deadliest countries in the world and has one of the highest impunity rates. According to an analysis by InSight Crime, gang membership and activity have been on the rise in the past two decades, and the associated violence has hit the country’s urban areas the hardest. Extortion by gangs has forced many to flee in search of more security. Moreover, the Honduran police are both understaffed—in the northern district of San Pedro Sula, home to nearly 230,000 people and where well-known gangs like Barrio 18 and MS-13 operate, just 50 police officers watch over its 189 neighborhoods—and plagued by corruption and abuse.

"The article is only a partial description of the reality here. It does nothing to iluminate the the fact that the US supported the 2009 coup of the leftist president and the installation of a corrupt regime "and" its illegal and fraudulent re election in 2017. Almost 3,000 deaths can be directly related to the theft of $335 million from the already underfunded health system during the current president's first term....funds that were used in his re election campagn, this even though re election is expressly prohibited by the constitution. Tens of thousands took to the streets to protest peacefully in 2017 but the protests were quashed by this brutal government using its own millitary, gassing, killling and "disappearing" its own citizens. Thats just one example.. There has been a 400% increase in military funding while in the entire time of Hernadez' presidency not one hospital has been built and not one school. Journalists and those that publicly oppose are disappeared. "

edit....That was when Obama was Pres, and Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. They ignored pleas to do something about the coup.

"As of 2014 the coup had weakened democratic institutions such, that along with corruption and police impunity, state security forces persecuted coup opponents, campesinos, indigenous protesters and others, and the crime rate increased massively. In this context more than 13,000 Honduran children crossed U.S. borders from October 2013 until May 2014, a 1272% increase compared to 2009.[117]"

Trough feeder comes up for air with a complete and utter lack of self awareness. 

To paraphrase Seymour Skinner..

Both of those things are probably true.

It's really an astonishing rate - over 12 per day and the Post is very conservative on their judgments.   How can anyone believe or support this moron?

President Trump has made 10,796 false or misleading claims over 869 days

After he was voted in despite the "grab em buy the *****" tape- I am not shocked at all by anything there.

And I wonder, can they actually find someone worse than Trump? 

At this point, I say anything is possible in the USA.

Republicans would vote for Whitey Bulger if he was their candidate.

It bothers me to hear people in the media talking about Trump as though anything he said makes sense or is based in reality. 

That is truly sickening.

Why doesn't someone ask him why Kim's man, the negotiator Trump posed with in N Korea, is now in a Prison camp? and the others, executed.

To be honest, a dead man would be better and less harmful for most of the USA populace. I wish I was kidding... but I'm not.
