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.

It's such a huge opportunity to feed garbage directly into the top echelon of the world's hyperpower.  There will be espionage textbooks written about this.

Although it's not the first time this has been done. Curveball, Iraqi informant.

Trump is trying to steal elections, Bush was trying to start an invasion.

Seems Republicans have no qualms about this kind of thing, and the Barr character has been at it for years.

Now they just shovel out mountains of garbage, which they hope eventually, will confuse and then bore uninformed voters.

Barr legitimately thinks the president should have unlimited power so his moves are all in support of that.  Congress has to share the blame as they let the presidency gain power over the years.  This should be a lesson to congress and hopefully a re-setting of things.  

They were talking about the congressional jail on cnn last night. They haven’t used it in decades and won’t now. But it’s another example of the power congress used to have.

President Donald Trump has tweeted his congratulations to China on 70 years of Communist Party rule.

The U.S. leader wrote “Congratulations to President Xi and the Chinese people on the 70th Anniversary of the People’s Republic of China!”

moron.

Bet they have "beautiful conversations"

Great example of what I meant above. He cannot over rule congress.  Hopefully congress will act quickly to force him to comply and/or toss him in jail. 

 

They really are banking on the people just accepting this crap. I think they're in for a big shock when they suddenly have an unruly mob on their hands. 

They keep acting this way there will be guillotines on every corner and rich ladies muttering about eating cakes. 

Interesting development...

 

I can't believe so many supposed smart and well school people in government have hitched their wagon to Trump, they all deserve the same fate that is awaiting Trump.

Interesting to say the least.

Hope these witnesses are on the lookout for Russians with umbrellas.

The Trump followers are so stupid, they lambast anything they don't like as "Marxist, communist",

and yet will say it's great that Trump is congratulating China for 70 years of Marxist (so called) dictatorship.

dumber than a rock.

they should just do what he tells them, exactly what he tells them to do.

Wait till he's gone and these insiders start writing books, and doing interviews. LOL.

 

They aren’t even hiding their efforts to obstruct.  It’s a war between the executive branch and congress now. Congress can’t lose this or...I mean, it could get really bad.

Last week, the Intel Inspector General got roasted by Congress for not turning over a whistleblower complaint in the legally required seven days.
Now, the State Department’s IG, Steven Linick, an Obama appointee, has summoned congress to an “urgent briefing” this afternoon. 1/3

Per reporting: “Linick reportedly asked for the meeting after his office obtained documents from the State Department's acting legal adviser.” Sounds to me like State withheld information it was legally mandated to provide to Congress which Linick is now hastily forwarding.  2/3

 

Given the fact that last week’s drama centered on IGs’ obligation to forward *whistleblower complaints* though, don’t be surprised if State had received its own set of documented whistleblower concerns and buried them... until now. We’ll see. Listen for more whistles today. 3/3

Won't matter. It's going to go to the Supreme Court soon enough and the likes of Kavanaugh will protect Trump. It's all part of the fix. 

Well that's unfortunate- this might be the thing to force Bernie out of the campaign.

 

 

At least he seems to be well. 

Uh- that doesn't look suspicious.

I’ve come to like Bernie but that should be the end.  He should be a team player and throw his full support behind the nominee. (Warren). 

Liz Warren is an outstanding person. Here's an article about her.

http://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2019/10/elizabeth-warren-as-a-law-teacher

 

"Unlike almost all people who actually use this phrase (Warren herself doesn’t) Warren really did “come from nothing,” at least relative to the typical Ivy League law professor: her family was barely hanging on to the lower middle class for much of her childhood. She was an Okie Sunday School teacher and former waitress who dropped out of college to get married at age 19 to her high school boyfriend —"

She's got the courage, the wit, and the intelligence to fight back the swarms of liars that will go after her.

She's angry at times but not angry enough to go against Trump. I want an SOB.
