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.

Truth.

 

 

A new poll from Scott Rasmussen’s RMG Research (the most Trump friendly pollster on the planet).... has Trump down by 12 points to Biden

Biden is up 48 percent to Trump’s 36 percent, while the previous poll showed the president trailing by just 7 points.

Waiting for the White House to sue.

btw, based on previous track record with Rasmussen, you can bet the result is actually 4-5 points worse that that...

 

 

Man Shot at Albuquerque Onate Conquistador Statue as Protest Involving Armed Right-Wing Militia Turns Violent

Reuters
A man is in critical condition in Albuquerque, New Mexico, after a Monday night protest demanding the removal of a statue of a despotic conquistador erupted into gunfire and chaos involving members of an armed vigilante group. Demonstrators gathered at the statue of Juan de Oñate—New Mexico’s 16th-century colonial governor—when gunfire broke out after activists took a pickaxe to the monument, The Albuquerque Journal reports.

Trumps executive order today

It didn’t take long for Trump to try to drag Obama and Biden into his speech this morning (around the 10 minute mark) about Police reform. Trouble is...he was wrong about that too.

 

 

Just to show you where his mind is at, the fake president says “school choice” (not racism) is the defining civil rights issue in US history,

Prosecutor who quit Roger Stone case because of Trump and Barr’s interference to testify in House Judiciary hearing

S.J. Zelinsky was among the U.S. Department of Justice prosecutors who quit the Roger Stone case in February in response to interference from President Donald Trump. And Zelinsky, according to New York Times reporters Mattathias Schwartz and Charlie Savage, has agreed to testify about Stone’s case and interference from Trump and Attorney General William Barr next week on Wednesday, June 24 before the House Judiciary Committee.

House Democrats subpoenaed Zelinsky and another DOJ official, John W. Elias, who has also agreed to testify at the hearing. But one person who has refused to testify is Barr, and Rep. Jerrold Nadler — the New York Democrat who chairs the House Judiciary Committee — slammed him for it in an official statement.

Fox News Stars Push Shake Shack Cop Poisoning Claim Even After NYPD Debunked It

The NYPD said a “thorough” investigation found no criminality, but that hasn’t stopped several Fox News personalities from continuing to push an anti-cop murder narrative online.
Several Fox News stars have continued to peddle the claim that Shake Shack employees “intentionally poisoned” the milkshakes of three New York police officers, even after the New York Police Department found there was “no criminality” by employees.

Late Monday evening, several police unions claimed the officers had been briefly hospitalized after noticing a substance in their drinks, suggesting that bleach was deliberately placed in the shakes by employees due to the currently tense national mood around policing.

The Detectives' Endowment Association declared the officers were “intentionally poisoned” while the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association fired off a breathless statement claiming its members were under attack.

“When NYC police officers cannot even take meal without coming under attack, it is clear that environment in which we work has deteriorated to a critical level,” the PBA’s official account tweeted. “We cannot afford to let our guard down for even a moment.”

The story was quickly picked up by multiple news outlets overnight, with many headlines based largely on the police unions’ narrative. Fox News @ Night ran a news segment on the alleged poisoning, complete with coverage from the scene, pointing out it was an evolving report. Noting that the unions framed this as a “blatant attack” on the officers, reporter Alex Hogan wrapped up her report by pointing out the cops were expected to be fine but that this is a “very scary situation for all of them.”

“Please let us know as you get more facts and information on that,” anchor Shannon Bream replied.

Conservative media personalities called for the Shake Shack employees to be charged with attempted murder and tied the incident directly to widespread protests stemming from the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd. 

Early Tuesday morning, however, NYPD Detective Chief Rodney Harrison released a statement that, after a “thorough” investigation, the department determined that there was no criminality. Investigators believe that a cleaning solution hadn’t been fully cleared from the shake machine, causing some to be included in the officers’ drinks.

Trump Claims COVID-19 Will Go Away And That An AIDS Vaccine Exists. It Doesn’t.
In an address about an executive order on police reform, the president made erroneous claims about both the coronavirus and an "AIDS vaccine." President Donald Trump went off-topic during an address outside the White House on police reform Tuesday, declaring that the coronavirus pandemic will go away without a vaccine and that scientists have “come up with the AIDS vaccine.”

At present, there is no scientific indication that coronavirus will go away if a vaccine is not developed and no AIDS vaccine exists.

Say whatever you want, lie, mislead don’t matter, no consequences. Being constantly shamed on Twitter has no real immediate impactful effect, just becomes white noise. Only hope left is at the voting booth now till November.

Yes, I heard that briefing this morning and the fake president, at certain times, had difficulty finding the right words to complete a sentence, hence, the aids reference. 
However, I’m not sure, at all, if he knows what is true and that he just spews out whatever comes to mind..like that statement, once again, that the virus will “go away”...which is something we all wish he would  do.

Pence Tells Governors To Share Misleading Facts About Coronavirus Infections: Reports

Vice President Mike Pence urged the nation’s governors to share misleading facts about ongoing coronavirus outbreaks in some states during a private call on Monday, according to multiple reports.

The Associated Press, which also obtained the audio, noted Pence told the state leaders to, with “proper gentleness and respect,” share the “progress that we are making.”

Conservatives Panic Over Fake Antifa Threat to Blow Up the Alamo

The sources for the alleged threat are a bunch of random tweets, some of which make no sense chronologically. But it became a thing nonetheless. Dozens of Texas law enforcement officers squared up at the Alamo on Saturday night for an action Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush called a “show of force.” They were there to defend the icon of the Texas Revolution from nebulous threats that were running rampant on pro-Trump social media. 

The danger, according to Bush, was an attack from left-wing “antifa” groups. Ahead of the feared attack, he put out a statement claiming that he was monitoring “social media posts and rumors” about protesters’ plans for the Alamo.

Good work, they were also right on top of the imminent threat from caravans....

Imagine that. The imperial forces are failing.

 

Biden - “Just like he couldn’t wish Covid19 away in March, Just like he couldn’t Tweet it away in April, he can’t ignore it away in June.”

Imagine Fox News cutting away from Trump speech...

 

What ever you may think of Bolton for not testifying during the house impeachment his book has been leaked, and Trump is going to go boom boom into his diapers

The book is already out there and Trump's neice is going to release a tell-all book in July which is apparently scathingly critical of Trump. At that point, Trump is either going to stroke out or go full-bore nutso.

 

You can see why Trump will do whatever he can to stay on as President, civilian Trump has a lot of trouble and problems coming and lets not forget about his family and AG Barr and many of his other enablers.
