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.

and hey Z while we're talking about your boy Trump and you seem to know how this stuff works, why did he fire the white house pandemic response team earlier in his term?

Warren's campaign was just as big a flop as anyone's.

Fuelled by media hype who wanted to look woke. Too much baggage and ran a horrible campaign. Outside of the media bubble she was nothing .

What metrics are you using to come to this conclusion?

 

 

Can you image if trump contracted Covid-19 and died- that would be one of the most ironic things I would have witnessed in my life... I am Not wishing for it... just thought that would be crazy ironic.

Lol. "Not wishing for it" wink wink

Having cruised around the net, practally since it was invented....can assure you that the Republican party (to say nothing of the Alt-right) is chock full of misogynist cretins. 
A lot of these guys (Including a fair number of Tea Party/Freedom Caucus boyos) would like to roll back the clock to the mid 1950's.....when women (to say nothing of Blacks, Hispanics, Gays etc.) simply knew their place.

Comparing the Democrats (who are far from perfect in this area) to these guys.....is total fake equivalency

I read lots too. Lots of extremist fruit cakes out there. Feel the same way when i read bolshevick, anarchist Atifa and Occupy types defend murder, arson, assault , anti Christian bigotry and say Trump sleeps with his daughters, various and sundry sexual perversions.

It's a crazy world online.

 

wow... numbers matter- people's lives don't... straight from the POtuS' mouth...

In another classic Romney flip flop he's now agreed on the House investigation into Biden Jr and Ukraine.

Gonna take a wild guess Romney loses his hero status among the left after being so "principled" in the Impeachment. 

Kamala endorses Biden Even after he she she subtley accused him of racism over his previous stance on bussing. Now praises his civil rights record.

Nothing about Gabbard a woman of colour.

They all talk about more women and more diversity but when it comes down to the crunch its I have gotta get on the winning team. No matter what.

These "good guys" truly have no shame

He never had a hero status, he was just given props for doing the right thing. It's rare among Republicans.

This could get real messy if they go after Biden and his son, for Trump that is.

So what if Hunters a crook and Joe knows and lied about it. ? We will have our revenge like 2016. 

Yep, these are the "good guys" alright. So principled and righteous.

Republicans ain't gonna win an argument about nepotism. They just aren't. Trump and his idiot kids aren't even trying to be subtle about it.

So people can't be critical if he votes one way and then flip flops on a vote that is directly related to the initial vote? or else they are hypocrites? dafuq kind of reasoning is that?

HUnter is a crook? I haven't read anything like that- please post some links. I was not under the impressionism that he was a crook.

Biden lied about it?

Right. Biden didn't threaten Ukrainian officials if Hunter deal didn't go through.  No quid pro quo. All above board. 

Shouldn't have to give you links you would scoff at anyway. You should know what's going on..

Except you never criticized trump once for his rampant nepotism.... and which democratic president has given his kids senior level White House jobs? 

You can keep screaming that it's the same, but it's very clearly not the same. You just want to pretend it is so you can overlook shitty right wing behaviour so you can keep getting the hateful bigoted stuff passed.

That's the Republican playbook, just keep on spouting crap and don't let the facts get in the way

None of that is accurate.  But the people who keep pretending you’re pushing a valid argument know it.  Why anyone bothers to reply is beyond me. 

Anyway

I don't overlook anything. Said it a hundred times American politics is corrupt. .

I point out the hypocrisy of progressives who pretend the corruption was invented in 2016 and the good guys are still clean.

You dont take everything from anti Trump media at face value ? please.

I don't need to read anti Trump media since it's all reproduced here.

Difference being I don't get to read the corrections when stories are proven bogus which , occasionally, the same media has to confess to.
