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.

That she is still struggling to support Trump says volumes about the GOP/right-wing mindset. It looks good for public consumption but when push comes to shove, that is another matter altogether. 

And so it begins. Nope sorry you're out. Good luck on dancing with the stars.

One tiny squeak of protest from Romney is nowhere close to him appearing moral. He has said nothing about children in cages, Trump's coded but obvious support of white supremacists and on and on.

The GOP is very similar to the Police Officers involved in the George Floyd murder. Trump's the one with the knee on the neck of America and the GOP senators are the ones watching, standing around, aiding and abetting.

The problem is, if Trump becomes a drag on them, what options do they have?  Being an anti-trump Republican is not likely to get them enough votes to beat a Dem.  It will come down to individual areas.  If a GOP person is largely popular but Trumps is a drag, then sure, they can torch Trump and try to win.  Those would be Democrat longshots either way.  But the GOP allowed this to happen.  And I think they're beginning to see the future of a party that has to either get pulled all the way to fascism or re-invent itself as the moderate conservative movement.

Wasnt it Graham who said before the last election "If we nominate Trump, it will destroy us and we'll deserve it."  Yup.

Yup:

Cop Kills 22-Year-Old on His Knees After Mistaking His Hammer for a Gun: Chief

A police officer in Vallejo, California, shot and killed 22-year-old Sean Monterrosa early Tuesday morning after mistaking a hammer in his pocket for a gun, the city’s police chief said Thursday. Monterrosa was on his knees when the unnamed officer, who told authorities he believed Monterrosa to be armed with a gun, fired at him five times through his car windshield. Monterrosa had a hammer, not a gun, in his pocket.

(Whatever happened to "serve and protect?)

Missing alert.

Has not been seen, nor heard from in quite some time. 

Last seen being manhandled and kicked around by the GOP in power in the US.

No one in that circle of jerks seem to recall anything about it.

Missing - Integrity 

The search is ongoing.

Yup exactly my point. No mulligans. Card played is a card laid. Get them all out. Full court press till November. No mercy.

 

Wow.

 I don't think "CHECKS&BALANCES" mean what he thinks they do. It's not a reference to Cheques nor to a bank balance, what an ass.

Americans, not all of them, will only have themselves to blame if Trump gets re elected, get out vote, protest, make change or you won't believe what you are in for

If that doesn't work, Chuck can always send yet another letter.....

 Watching the Republican party ......reminds me of the 1937 conference of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union, during a round of applause to honor Joseph Stalin

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn described the surreal scene in The Gulag Archipelago:

“The applause went on—six, seven, eight minutes! They were done for! Their goose was cooked! They couldn’t stop now till they collapsed with heart attacks! At the rear of the hall, which was crowded, they could of course cheat a bit, clap less frequently, less vigorously, not so eagerly…Nine minutes! Ten!…Insanity! To the last man! With make-believe enthusiasm on their faces, looking at each other with faint hope, the district leaders were just going to go on and on applauding till they fell where they stood, till they were carried out of the hall on stretchers.”

At last, after eleven minutes of non-stop clapping, the director of a paper factory finally decided enough was enough. He stopped clapping and sat down—a miracle!
“To a man, everyone else stopped dead and sat down.”

That same night, the director of the paper factory was arrested and sent to prison for ten years.  Authorities came up with some official reason for his sentence, but during his interrogation, he was told: “Don’t ever be the first to stop applauding!”

He should get a knoll named after him.

That is absolutely ridiculous. She was briefed? Briefed for what purpose? What could she possibly do with the information? What role in gov't does she play, exactly? 

 

I'm sure Trump is looking for ways to fleece gov't in as many ways as possible but I'm not sure how this would help that? 

 

I suppose he's probably inspecting the bunker again. Just in case.

The most galling thing about this post (aside from all of it) is where she says Mattis' comments were "overdue". Like he should have said something long ago. And where was she to speak to these "overdue" comments all this time? Especially when she had the chance at the impeachment to send that "necessary" message herself. Do or Die's point about "never be the first to stop applauding" is bang on here.

But on the bright side, Mattis' rebuke of the Donald may have cracked open the floodgates. It was speculated on CNN that him taking that first step (which is much easier for him since he already quit and had nothing to lose from Trump) would open the doors for other military personnel (like Esper, who already followed the lead) to defy Trump and hopefully refuse to follow any orders to "dominate" civilians. Looks like that turncoat turning of the tide will now extend to the Republican senate. Can't wait for the biggest lackeys like Gaetz, Cruz, Graham and McConnell to cut bait and get all self-righteous against Trump to try and save their own political skin. That will be rich.

I don't think I'm exaggerating or being overly dramatic when I say this is a world issue not just an United States of America issue. Americans of sound mind please take heed and vote the GOP and this deranged idiot out. Then we can all breathe, get back to our lives squabbling among each other but realizing we are all on the same team when it comes to this shite.

From this article:

Trump wants a government where his daughter is a senior adviser who speaks in official meetings, his son-in-law is perhaps the second most powerful person in the White House and runs programs, his kids work as campaign officials, with their wives and girlfriends getting paid, and now Trump’s idiot, spoiled brat, unsmiling, miserable, “wife,” is being “briefed” by FEMA on hurricane preparedness. In other words, Trump is running this like the Trump organization, a small, tight, criminal, family enterprise with as few people involved as possible.

👁‍🗨Nothing if not scary. 
 

And from the same article, I swear she’s now trying to look like her husband. Change the hair, add a little colouring and...
