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.

Well, since Trump has become president he has:

Undermined US relationships with European allies and called the US’s commitment to NATO into question.
Eagerly pushed for an all-out trade war with Europe and has pushed America further back into isolationism
Tries to roll back, impede, and blunt the impact of sanctions against Russia at every step.
Says that Crimea is part of Russia and calls for Russia to be welcomed back into the international community with no concessions
Repeatedly, and inexplicably parrots Kremlin talking points across a range of global issues. (eg.Ukraine hacking DNC)
Dismisses Russian election interference (Could of been somebody else") and has done absolutely nothing to prevent future interference
Attacked US institutions like the Intelligence agencies and Judiciary, while driving divisive politics and eroding democratic norms.
Repeatedly praises and defends Putin, no matter what, lending the credibility of the US presidency to Putin’s standing

For someone who is not a Russian asset....he has sure done a lot of heavy lifting.

Wait... "I'm rubber you're glue, what you say bounces off of me and sticks to You?"

Wow.... ok. 

Cool- you do you.

My dude.  I am totally okay with reinforcing the idea that I am not a racist, homophobe or misogynist.  Or that I am anti trump   Or that I am a conservative chased from the right by the grossness of the trump movement .  I don’t pretend to be anything I’m not  

If you think your posts don’t make it seem like your blindly supportive of Trump, I don’t know what to tell ya.  Facts are facts.  Even if Trump doesn’t want you to believe that.

And maybe eventually you'll come up with a rational thought to share with the rest of us sometime. Maybe.

Going strictly by the general vibe in this thread any time you chime in with your woefully ignorant views, I'm pretty sure nobody here gives a **** what you think.

He is the swamp.

When pence speaks, even on something as serious as Coronavirus most of his speech is blowing smoke up trumps.  Man that guy has a delicate ego.   And pence is a shameless lapdog.  Dear leader indeed. 

Powerful politican fills vacancies with buddy hires and cronies. Pretty much chapter 1 of A Handmaids Tale. Eerie.

For the sake of the Republic don't give up on this story, Rachel.

Pence is actually an walking insult to wax dummies....

When throwing shade- context is usually helpful. So I am going with: "Who is Ross' Love interest!"

Hell, most of anything you post... context would be nice.

Nah. It’s useless none sense. 

Meanwhile, the FBI has arrested four Atomwaffen Division ringleaders, real charm school types who are charged with threatening and swatting journalists.

they're being extradited from their various states to Washington state, though the charges are federal.

Interesting Graph... it looks like Warren is the Centrist of the Democrats...

 

Mike Pence is in charge of the USA coronavirus response. 

Mike Pence doesn't believe in evolution.

Warm up your thoughts and prayers, folks.

 

There's always a tweet

 

Just watched the full Trump Coronavirus press conference.  Him and Pence....what a dog and pony show.  A heady mix of Ignorance and incoherence

Funny thing is..... when the WHO and other world health entities warned that containment would fail and outbreaks would occur everywhere......Trump said there was no problem and that the U.S. is "ready to adapt" if the disease spread, emphasizing, “We’re very, very ready for this.  Kudlow also asserted that the US was "airtight" in its containment. 

No concern shown by the WH on this subject at all.....

....until the Dow dropped 1500 points in 2 days.  Hence that press conference.

Priorities.

Note:  Today, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced Thursday that 33 people in California have tested positive for Coronavirus, with officials monitoring more than 8,400 people for the virus.

HIV spiked in Indiana due to his regressive views. He also wrote opinion pieces stating unequivocally that cigarette smoke did not cause cancer. I hope he's a smoker.

It will be funny if Pence does get dumped and he won't be able to whine about it because he's complicit in all their crimes.
