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.

So you want me to list the lies liberals tell ?

If you start with the the ones who lied on their voter registration paperwork, sure. 

A couple have already outed themselves on mbb, so you've got a running start there

Took me a while to find my Mexican disguise, but once I did, I voted in every state!

Nice!  always great to hear from a bingo voter. 

Did Soros send you the coronavirus vaccine yet?  Just got mine.

Thanks to Coronavirus, just a matter of time before Trump takes credit for crushing the Chinese economy

Like when Bill Maher defended 911 attackers as "brave". Media types like him and Rush that walk the tight rope between political and social commentary and entertainment say astonishing things .

Bill Maher is a self important ****** nozzle too so you gotta stop playing this "both sides" crap. No one takes their cues from Bill ******* Maher. 

Really the problem with the world is that the truth has a liberal bias because republicans (and increasingly at an alarming rate conservatives in Canada) are just flat out lying to our faces and have their biased right wing propaganda (can't do them the justice of calling them media) report it like it's actually true.

I account for two. Voted twice in North Dakota and drove 3 people voting Republican to the wrong polling station. By the time they figured it out, it was too late! 

My long deceased great grandparents voted.  Twice.  You know because the democrats always cheat.  Unlike the gop. The Russian interference was for the Democrats you see. Lol 

Well, my cow voted, before finally leaving the barn, for good.   Of course, the physical evidence was then handled internally..

President Trump..... is the ultimate argument for getting rid of all nuclear weapons.

As, some of the other candidates are running out of dough, particularly if they can't make a move on Tuesday's primaries.

Party's worried about Comrade Sanders now a zillion aire oligarch who wasn't even a Democrat 3 years ago literally buying his way into the process.

Mike "Stop and Frisk" Bloomberg is an anti-Trump in that he actually repels a huge part of the Democratic base.  Dunno if he'll attract enough moderates to compensate.

Interesting that three of the Dem frontrunners either aren't really Dems like Sanders and Bloomberg or are small time non-national level Dems like Mayor Pete.   Klobuchar is really the only traditional presidental candidate left.  Dems are rejecting their own, so far.  Really not a great look for the party.

For me, the question boils down to "what do the Midwestern Trump states think about democratic socialism?"

Irregardless, what ever party you represent........if you can't come up with a minimum 500M in backing......don't even think about running for President.  Only exceptions are people who can rip off a long string of wins in the primaries (money will follow)

Following his narrow victory in New Hampshire’s Democratic presidential primary — his second successive strong showing in the party’s first nominating contests — Sen. Bernie Sanders opened up a double-digit lead over former Vice President Joe Biden and entrenched himself as the best-positioned candidate heading into next week’s Nevada caucuses.

According to a Morning Consult poll conducted Wednesday, the Vermont independent is the first choice for 29 percent of Democratic primary voters, up 4 percentage points since polling conducted Feb. 4-9. Biden’s support fell 3 points during that time to 19 percent, leaving him 1 point ahead of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Definitely not a cult. Nope.

It’s pretty funny that trump is so stupid he doesn’t even realize Barr is protecting him and doing his bidding and all trump has to do is shut up.
