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.

Poor Professor Karlan, Hillary was going to name her to the Supreme Court, don't blame her for being a little bitter about the whole thing.

Control the narrative, show that the impeachment was nothing more than a coverup, the Republican spin doctors really are the best,

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Wednesday voted to subpoena Blue Star Strategies — a company connected to the Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings -- as part of the panel’s investigation into Hunter Biden’s role on the board of the firm. The subpoena would cover records dating back to January 1, 2013, regarding their work for Burisma Holdings, or individuals associated with Burisma’s founder, Mykola Zlochevsky. He also wants Blue Star CEO Karen Tramontano and Chief Operating Officer Sally Painter for depositions. Trump's pressure campaign against Ukraine prompted a whistleblower complaint, and, in turn, the impeachment inquiry.

Trump seems to be the new poster boy for Christian values, at least for right wing evangelists....and other whacked out fundamentalists ....

He clearly is wanting to incite violence among his disgusting base over a stolen election when people actually get to vote.  Imagine defending him and admiring his people.  Aligned values.  Gross.  

No matter what, Trump will try to portray himself as a victim so as to inflame his lunatic base and begin to set the stage for him to claim that the pending election is being stolen from him. Simultaneously, he and his minions will try to smear any and all opposition.

Deflection is not working, lying has caught up to him, next step violence

Trump's past behaviour is that whenever his usual pattern of insults and belittling no longer work, he will escalate, first to threats, then he will intimate that violence is the only resort all the while denying he is doing so- his sycophants will do all the dirty work.

Kamala Harris says, Trump should talk to his lawyer AG Barr because his tweets about with holding money from states is a crime.

Funny... all of this hullabaloo about the unmasking of Flynn (which is routine and has been used more times in this administration than Obama) yet... never was masked in the FBI files:

 

 

 

 

Trump won’t win this silly attack on mail in voting especially since that’s how he votes.  It will only resonate with those people that already wanted to rescind the right to vote of certain people....

 

Lol

If Biden stays in his basement he might just win this, of course letting Trump dig his ditch deeper and deeper will be fun to watch

Howard Stern spoke candidly about longtime friend Donald Trump on his SiriusXM radio show on Tuesday.

Trump attended Stern’s wedding in 2008 and has been on his SiriusXM show “too many times to count,” Stern said last year. “He was one of the top 5 guests of all time. He was wild…completely unfiltered.”

“The oddity in all of this is the people Trump despises most, love him the most,” said Stern on Tuesday. “The people who are voting for Trump, for the most part … He wouldn’t even let them in a f*cking hotel. He’d be disgusted by them. Go to Mar-a-Lago, see if there’s any people who look like you. I’m talking to you in the audience.”

And this is where Facebook, twitter etc fail us in letting spin doctors hide behind free speech and blatantly lie and work on their intellectual gymnastics.
