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.

This would be perfect for fans of Infowars and OANN.

America is a country where people flipped out when Garth Brooks wore a Barry Sanders jersey onstage this year because it said Sanders and had a 20 on the back and people thought he was endorsing Bernie Sanders. Oh and those people still get to vote and it counts the same as everybody else. Just saying.

Keeping a close watch on Neo-Lennist Democrats......whatever the hell, that means.  Perhaps I should join the comments section, there.

Just kidding, still recovering from my last social experiment, on a couple of other sites.

 

No money for Trump and his family and their failed hotels, golf courses and pretty well everything that they have touched, that's gotta burn.

PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT!!!

Seriously if they didn't want the president profiting from the office they would have put some sort of emoluments clause in place to avoid this from happening. So unfair.

Poor guy is just trying to profit off being the president. 

If it makes you feel better, I guarantee it that he and his family will personally profit greatly off this crisis. They will get kickbacks from the pharma/medical supply companies and he'll have stock in them too. 

MAGAts.

Since the American senate has set a precedent that the president is above the law, nothing that comes out of the legislative system applies to him. And as he said, the Second Amendment empowers him to do whatever he wants.

What took him so long

 

It's everyone's fault but his. The economy would be starting to get back on track already if he hadn't lied about it being a hoax. If only his incompetence didn't hurt so many good people. 

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said on Wednesday that it will “suspend” efforts to close gun shops even after designating them as “nonessential businesses” that need to be shut down amid California’s statewide lockdown, the Los Angeles Times reported. Sheriff Alex Villanueva announced on Twitter that the “efforts to close nonessential businesses have been suspended,” adding, “CA Gov. Gavin Newsom to determine what qualifies as a non-essential business.” Villanueva also linked to a Fox 11 News clip in which reporter Bill Melugin quotes him as saying: “the county’s top lawyer put out a legal opinion that she believes gun stores are essential businesses and should remain open.”

Who needs medical experts, when you know more about it, than they do.    Just like everything else. 
World expert stable genius, with great genes....

Dr. Justin Frank literally wrote the book on Donald Trump’s mind and behavior. In “Trump on the Couch,” Frank tracks Trump’s life from childhood to adulthood and reveals a man who is mentally unfit in many ways — from his intelligence, values, emotions and temperament down to the deepest parts of the psyche — to be president of the United States of America.

In the conclusion of Frank’s book he warned that Donald Trump would represent a dire threat to the safety, security and future of America and the world. In all, the power of the presidency is too vast and the opportunities for abusing that power are too great for a personality and mind such as Donald Trump’s to resist.

On both a day-to-day basis, and in crises such as the Russia and Ukraine scandals and now the coronavirus (all of which are largely self-made and self-inflicted) Donald Trump’s poor mental health has only gotten worse. Unfortunately, the presidency, with its unique burdens and responsibilities, have not forced Trump to become a better person and to rise to the occasion. Instead, he has been caught in the undertow of a public downward spiral.

I suggest that folks watch "The Daily Show" tonight to see a damning expose of Trump's mental health using, of all things, Faux News clips.

Looks like the US blew its load before the virus is even hitting... the cash to buy Treasury Bonds is a last resort measure - I don't see what they will do after 50,000 people die in New York and 15 million people apply for EI...  US will be on lock down until September.

A lawsuit has been filed accusing Sen. Burr of improperly profiting from insider knowledge. Legislation is being introduced in the House that would ban lawmakers from trading any individual stocks.

Trump said he's told Pence not to call the governors of Washington and Michigan, suggesting the vice president is "wasting [his] time."

I want them to be appreciative. I don’t want them to say things that aren’t true."  "I want them to be appreciative. We’ve done a great job." 

"You know what I say? If they don’t treat you right, I don’t call,"

 

We'll see what happens shortly, when more Republican Governors have to square up to this moron.
