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:

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.

An internal White House memo published today by Axios reveals that recent changes to the information operations and security organizations there have left the security team in tumult, with many members headed for the door. And the chief of the White House's computer network defense branch—who wrote the memo after submitting his resignation—warned that the White House was likely headed toward another network compromise and theft of data.

Vastakis warned that the transferral of virtually all of the White House's cybersecurity operations to the White House Communications Agencyputs information required to be preserved by the Presidential Records Act outside of the Executive Office of the President's oversight.

In closing, Vastakis warned, "given all the changes I've seen in the last three months, I foresee the White House is posturing itself to be electronically compromised once again."

Trump will be leaving a wrecked system when he is finally  ejected. Many competent people have been fired and replaced with Soviet Union style dimwitted hacks.

 

Probably the first time in history that the office of President has been converted to the benefit of one person.

 

It's a shambles that's going to require thorough fumigation and reconstruction.

Is taxing wealth and the super-wealthy really such a bad idea?

astounding fact he cited there. While millions have no health care, clean water. enough to eat.

completely absurd, and the eventual outcome is well known.

This is the new gilded age.

Trump is to be deposed by December and there could be a trial in 2020. 
 

 

JUdge Nap on Fox seems to be legit- conservative, but not head up the ass trumpite.

Good grief... you can't make that **** up... 

When they make a miniseries out of this political era... they are going to have to reign in and have to remove some of this crazy stuff to make it believable...

Whether he Butt-Dials or calls you of purpose, either way you are talking to an Ass.

Can you even imagine what a one-on-one conversation between Rudy and Trump is like?

butt-emailing you from his Blackberry.

 

 

Interesting  thread and it raises the obvious trump strategy.   They’ll try to delay as long as possible and then claim you can’t do an impeachment with an election looming (especially a trial on the senate involving senators up for re-election.

This, perhaps:

So, pathetic that he can't help himself. He can't even shut his mouth for a few minutes. What a pathetic leader.

Oh. there is no bottom to how low he can go. Instead of just being satisfied with "his accomplishment"  he needs to compare it Obama's and.. well take a look:

 

 

I'll be surprised in the coming days at one of his many rallies that Trump won't bellow out that he himself killed Al-Baghdadi, and the idiot brain dead will break out in hysteria and applause proclaiming Trump the Messiah.
