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.

GOP senator horrifies readers with a new authoritarian call in the New York Times

It’s a simple headline: “Send in the troops.” But its meaning is clear, and it’s deeply disturbing.

That’s the title the New York Times gave to a new op-ed written by Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton, one of the most militaristic and hawkish members of Congress. He had previously caused a stir this week by calling for the military to be unleashed on protesters with a “no quarter” order — meaning that they would take no prisoners and simply kill at will. Cotton later said he had been speaking metaphorically.

DOJ grants the DEA sweeping authority to investigate George Floyd protestors: report

President Donald Trump has been drawing widespread criticism for his vow to use military force against the George Floyd protests, inspiring many to argue he sounds more like a dictator than an elected official. Under this cloud, a troubling BuzzFeed report found that the Drug Enforcement Administration has been granted a new authority to “conduct covert surveillance” and gather intelligence information on protestors.

Trump has been known to exaggerate. For example, he has said he is a human being.

Yep, here's the proof:

Trudeau is 6'1.5" to 6'2" (read conflicting information on which it is) and appears to be at least an inch taller than Trump.

 

Not sure if posted already. 
 

I have a feeling the close we get to November, the more people are going to speak out.  Trump is almost universally despised.

White House compares Trump's church visit to Churchill

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/500977-white-house-compares-trumps-church-visit-to-churchill

Wrote a couple of papers on Churchill, many moons ago.   Still trying to keep my eyes from rolling.

Funny, back when Trump was looking for yet another WH Press Secretary ........was wondering just what kind of person would take on that job
Well, watching Kayleigh McEnany, for a while.....now I know. 

 

 

I’m a big guy. I have a buddy who is 6’1” and 350lbs. Not fat fat. Just big. Reminds me of trump in how he carries his weight.  Trunk wears the baggy suits to hide it. When he’s in his right fold outfits you see how obsess he is.  I’m sure he’s over 300.  Does it matter?  No but he’s lying about his health and a guy that self conscious and vain has issues.

Not to mention the fact the deranged idiot probably wears lifts in his shoes to make him look taller and probably a tummy tucker. We’re going to find out down the road he was 5’ 3 320.

Trump to Sean Spicer: ‘I’ve Done So Much for Religion’

During a 22-minute “interview” on Wednesday that started with Sean Spicer defending his former boss against charges of racism and ended with the president praising his former White House press secretary’s performance on Dancing With the Stars, Donald Trump addressed his awkward bible photo-op that followed police tear-gassing peaceful protesters earlier this week.

Asked by Spicer what message he was trying to send with his church visit, Trump first said he did it because “somebody suggested it was a good idea” before insisting that “everything was handled really well” and that “religious leaders loved it.” When Spicer asked him if he’s “grown in his faith” during his time in office, the president said, “So I think maybe I have, from the standpoint that I see so much that I can do. I've done so much for religion.”

Republican Michigan Lawmaker Said He’d ‘Load Up a Few More Mags’ for Protesters
 

Emily Elconin/Reuters
A Republican Michigan state lawmaker threatened people in his district who protested police brutality in the wake of George Floyd’s alleged murder. On May 30, Gary Eisen, a state representative who owns the concealed-carry education business Michigan Personal Protective Training, captioned a photo of gun magazines posted to his Facebook page: “I was at my shop this morning working, and an older guy came in. We started talking about the protesters and the riots... He said, ‘You know all those protesters are Liberals’ I said ‘how do you know that’ .... he said ‘Liberals look for trouble and civil unrest and Conservatives PREPARE for it’ hmm, so i thought maybe I will load up a few more mags…” Demonstrations organized by the local NAACP and Black Lives Matter chapters began two days later. He told the Port Huron Times-Herald he “just made a joke.”

White House Deletes Tweet Claiming Jewish Center's Security Barrier Is Actually an Antifa Setup

The official White House Twitter account circulated a video on Wednesday afternoon falsely claiming antifa had placed bricks and stones on sidewalks to incite violence amid widespread protests over the death of George Floyd. The video, which has since been deleted, was actually of a year-old security barrier outside a Jewish community center in Los Angeles meant to protect against anti-Semitic car attacks.

Three ‘Boogaloos’ Conspired to Hijack George Floyd Protest and Spark Bloodshed: Feds

Anti-government extremists allegedly plotted to incinerate a power station and cause flaming mayhem at Las Vegas protests.

 

Nevada District Court: Three Nevada men with prior U.S. military experience and links to a right-wing extremist group conspired to set off explosives at a recent protest against police brutality to “create civil unrest and rioting” and spark violence between police and protesters, federal prosecutors say.

Stephen Parshall, alias “Kiwi,” Andrew Lynam, and William Loomis are each being held on a $1 million bond for terrorism-related charges.

According to a complaint filed by the Nevada U.S. Attorney’s Office, the group was “potentially planning terroristic activity” when they brought Molotov cocktail materials to a Las Vegas protest over the death of George Floyd.

All three have identified themselves as members of the “Boogaloo” movement, an extremist group that dreams of sowing discord to spark a violent uprising and government overthrow, according to prosecutors. The group also boasts military training: Lynam is described as a member of the Army Reserves, Parshall was a Navy sailor, and Loomis was an enlisted member of the Air Force.
