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.

nice to see some Republican party people putting their country first finally. Who thought John Bolton would do something good.

Maybe a few more will crawl out.

And Trump puts sanctions on Turkey. 

Trump's feeble grasp on reality seems to be just about gone.

I think a point of critical mass will occur with many more people coming forward. But trump has done a good job of vilifying people and the GOP has not shown a propensity to support or protect them. It must be very frightening to consider being a whistleblower in that environment where the president will publicly attack you and put your safety in jeopardy. 
 

have to assume Bolton will be a guest of the House at some point. 

And as for shady phone calls, what the heck was said on that call with Turkey that lead to trump allowing the invasion in the first place.  

came across this... it's a violent country

In the United States, within 100 years, four presidents—Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield, William McKinley and John F. Kennedy—died at the hands of assassins. There have been at least 20 known attempts on U.S. presidents' lives. Huey Long, a Senator, was assassinated on September 10, 1935. Robert F. Kennedy, a Senator and a presidential candidate, was also assassinated on June 6, 1968 in the United States.

Russian units have begun patrolling territory separating Turkish-backed Syrian rebels from the Syrian army around the flashpoint town of Manbij in north-east Syria, in a clear sign that Moscow has become the de facto power broker in the region after the evacuation of US troops.

Oleg Blokhin, a Russian journalist usually attached to mercenaries in Syria, posted a video on social media on Tuesday from a deserted US military base in the village of al-Saadiya, near Manbij.

“They [the US] were here yesterday, we are here today,” he said. “Now we’ll see how they were living and what they were doing.”

Americans leave the Kurds to deal with Assad.

Lots of torturing and executions in store for many of them.

The Americans sent a Canadian citizen to Syria, to be tortured.

 if Americans didn't have all the money and huge military, they, as a nation,  would be scum.

Banana Republic

Is this real? This can’t be real

 

Beat me to it!

Every time Trump welcome a foreign dignitary and opens his fat yap the world laughs at him and the US, he knows nothing about anything, as he said today the US and Italy have been buddies since ancient times and that he just told everyone that people in Europe drive on the other side, because most don't know this.

Kurds: we are a minority under threat of genocide by a nation that is well acquainted with genocide

Turks: many many countries recognize the PKK as a terrorist organization

Trump: LET'S WORK OUT A GOOD DEAL

Oh wow, finally.

How I envision the response every time Trump tries to talk tough with an actual dictator.
