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.

Why jump into the ring, when your opponent is busy punching himself in the face?

Never stop your opponent when they are making a mistake.

Another beaut from a guy who really knows his stuff..

For all you Trump lurkers out there, tell us how the world was worse off pre-Trump as President. Specifics only supported by credible sources that doesn’t involve tin foil and #’s with ALL CAPS.

Just another bad President, business as usual, right out of the playbook....

A highlight from McEnany...
“The president does read and he also consumes intelligence verbally. (Wow!) This president, I’ll tell you, is the most informed person on planet Earth when it comes to the threats that we face,”

You forgot to add he’s also the biggest threat on planet Earth that we face despite being so “informed”

Of course...

Hey Kayleigh! 
Did the informed president forget about last year?

 

Well at least he didn't bring the chicken

 

There is a yawning gap in American law that allows a sitting president to hamper or stop inquiries into his/her conduct and pardon anyone who is convicted of offences related to that president or order their charges or sentences to be ameliorated. This gives any such president de facto immunity from prosecution or even investigation. The law ought to bar the president from interfering from any such investigation and, if convicted, the penalties (jail/fines) ought to kick in as soon as the president leaves office if these convictions or impeachments do not result in a removal from office.

‘Straight up fascism’: Trump’s disturbing propaganda meme draws sharp blowback

President Donald Trump once again is under fire, this time after posting an old, dark meme that’s appeared on literally hundreds of web pages on social media sites like Twitter and Reddit. Oddly, it’s not the first time Trump has posted this meme. He did so the day the House impeached him.

                                

The text reads: “In reality they’re not after me they’re after you. I’m just in the way.”

It’s also another Trump tie to neo-Nazis and white supremacists – unless it’s just a coincidence the meme has exactly 14 words, a common dog whistle to those abhorrent groups. The image itself is being called “evil,” and Trump “paranoid” for posting it – which he did a half hour before the only event on his schedule today: a 3:30 PM intelligence briefing.

 

(If anyone is still hanging onto delusions that Trump has not gone full-on fascist, here is all the proof needed. This is barely short of calling his minions to grab their AR-15s and take to the streets)

Like myself....no one really knows the full extent of Obama's powers...

Its getting interesting for the Faux News trying to spin all the Trump-generated crap into some sort of believable blame-everyone-else scenarios. Reminds me of the phlogistin debate where the proponents of the phlogisitin concepts had to go to more and more insane arguememts to try to support their untenable position before fianlly collapsing.

Normally the DOJ would be the front line, against this sort of abuse.....but with Barr in charge.....
