US Politics

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.

At this stage....Trump and his administration are pretty pointless.

 

Trump takes things that he’s heard and exaggerated and repeats them like gospel...

covid could just simply disappear - sars did just that - but to be basing your medical response on that is insane

The Trump GOP has painted themselves into a corner and this response is all they have left.

They will flip just before the election and use covid and social distancing to make voting as hard as possible

Voter suppression and the electorate system fit nicely together for the GOP.

It's times like this I'm glad that For Better or For Worse never brought up politics

It's worse than that. He actually seems to think that previous things just disappeared, not understanding that it was because of systems in place to control it that it seemed to disappear before. 

He is the text book example of proving that any idiot off the street can't just run the country any better.

👁‍🗨 Empty words from the fake president 

 

 

Well, his first campaign consisted of bellowing stock phrases

"Lock her up"
"Drain the swamp"
"MAGA"

He doesn't even have that now, other than...
"I take no responsibility, at all"

Funny, I remember briefing Obama, often....

In case you were wondering where the Trump campaign was going:

President Donald Trump’s campaign is promoting a new shirt that features an eagle clutching a shield with the American flag and ribbon displaying his campaign. The Nazi Reichsadler is an eagle clutching a shield with a swastika.

T-shirt really needs couple of very powerful lightning bolts....

At this point it's not accidental when these guys use nazi symbolism.

 


There’s enough material of Trump mistakes to easily write a book. Call it -

“Lies I Could Have Saved”

In Russian when you know things about certain people you fall out of a window, in America they arrest you and up end up dead, keep your head up Maxwell

Trump is trickled pink about how fast businesses have re open, beating his chest about people going to back to work since in the United States the virus will soon disappear, apparently Florida, Texas, Arizona and parts of California are not part America anymore

The Trump lackeys have been giving out coded messages to the right-wingers/neo-Nazis for awhile with the 14-word opening sentences in press releases and 88 word releases. The 14 words refers to an (in)famous Hitler speech where  he spoke about the needed to protect future generations against the hordes of the unclean. The 88 words refers to the 8th letter of the alphabet-"H" and the 88 is a reference to "HH"- heil hitler. These have cropped up so often in the Trump rhetoric that it can no longer be accidental. The fascist undercurrents that have been present in America since the 1920's has finally been legitimized in this regime, even though there are Jewish members of Trump's inner circle. These probably think they can leverage the fascism to keep themselves in power and then control it. This is a false hope. The people who installed both Hitler and Putin had the same ideas but fanaticism is not easily controlled, and it take only a relatively small amount of these to begin extremist campaigns. Americans seem to have learned nothing from history.
