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.

I apologize if that offends you, I just think the edits strike a nicer tone without compromising the information you attempt to convey. 

Your just proving my point, no need to apologize.

Trump will pardon every criminal who acted in his behalf and all of his friends- maybe even pardon himself, as he has claimed to have the power to do.

Only after he exposes the hoax.

She decried how awful mail-in votes are, yet she has voted that way for years.

What hoax.  The hoax that he won the election fairly?  I agree. Hopefully it’s fully exposed but probably not without confessional investigations under a democratic presidency 

Trump is igniting a constitutional crisis — and it could doom the US to becoming a failed state

There are no universally accepted definitions of either a “failed state” or a “constitutional crisis.” Good arguments can be advanced, however, that we are suffering from both disorders at the state and national levels in the midst of the lethal COVID-19 pandemic.

In a May 19 article, Guardian columnist Nathan Robinson argues that Wisconsin is beginning to resemble a failed state, which he defines as “one that can no longer claim legitimacy or perform a government’s core function of protecting the people’s basic security.” The Wisconsin GOP, Robinson writes, is a minority party, but after years of extreme gerrymandering, it wields de facto dictatorial powers, enabling it to gut public-sector unions and advance the privileges of business interests and the wealthy.

Trump wants to shut down twitter because he’s concerned about free speech.  Hahaha this stuff writes itself.  What a temper tantrum by the baby in chief.

You when you meet someone for the first time and the first thing they have to say is " I will never lie to you" you know that they just did

Lol. That subreddit didn't follow the sites terms of use. There are a pile of subreddits that were killed not because of lack of free speech, but lack of following the rules. 

Free speech is a government construct anyway not a private company thing. Companies can stop you from saying anything, it's a government that can not when free speech exists. I wish people had enough brain cells to rub together to understand that.

Again I have to say Free Speech not free to lie. And yes even in the 21st century with so many different realities, perspectives and experiences, people still do lie, some more and better than others.

And honestly decrying the loss of the_donald as loss of free speech.... that places biggest problem was they straight up did not allow different opinions. Aka a lack of free speech. It was the single biggest example of a circle jerk in the internets history.

No, just a ******* liar.

Articulate as well...

Trump speaks at level of 8-year-old, new analysis finds:

Of course, this may actually be appropriate for a certain amount of his target audience.

Good God. He’s insane.  

Listen to this fool.  If the public is allowed easier access to voting, it will be the end of the GOP.  If people vote, it’s the end of the GOP. He’s friggen saying it!  
 

He wants to stifle voting to benefit the GOP.  It’s not even a back room strategy anymore. He’s saying it out loud.
