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.

AG Barr Announces ‘Operation Legend’ to Send Federal Troops to Kansas City, Surprises Mayor

Attorney General William Barr announced Wednesday that the Department of Justice is sending federal law enforcement to Kansas City, Missouri to fight a recent surge in violent crime as part of a program dubbed “Operation Legend.” The program is named after 4-year-old LeGend Tallifero, who was killed on June 29 by gunfire in the city, which has seen a 40 percent surge in homicides compared to 2019. White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany read aloud a letter from Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas to Missouri’s governor concerning the crime wave during her announcement of the initiative, but the news came as a surprise to the local leader. He said in a statement, “I learned on Twitter this afternoon that the Department of Justice plans to send federal investigators to Kansas City as support for unsolved homicide and non-fatal shooting investigations.” But Lucas said he would not oppose the initiative: “I plan and hope to learn more about this effort over the days ahead. The investigative support effort announced this afternoon can be only one tool out of many.”

Trump reveals that doctors were "surprised" he could pass a cognitive test.

President Donald Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity that he has taken a cognitive test and passed with flying colors. Bragging about it, however, he let it slip that the doctors didn't have much faith in him.

The comment came as Hannity asked Trump about former Vice President Joe Biden's comment that he has "cognitive tests" all the time. Biden was referencing that he must deal with serious and complex issues frequently and that those things take a cognitive aptitude that he doesn't believe the current president has.

Trump dismissed Biden's comments saying that Biden "meant" that he gets tested for the coronavirus all the time. Biden did address that and said that he hasn't wanted to be tested because he doesn't want to take someone else's place in line that truly needs a test. Trump has mocked Biden for staying inside under quarantine.

Trump then pivoted to bragging about his competence: "I took it at Walter Reed, a medical center, in front of doctors, and they were very surprised," Trump bragged.

Makes sense. I would feel ashamed and foolish if I voted for trump in 2016... I would have probably doubled down myself.

 

 

Trump is going to commute Roger Stone's prison sentence, in Trump's world you have to reward criminals if they are on your side. WH now confirms of Trumps action

When you are openly corrupt and stand no chance of re-election, why pretend otherwise?

Yup, why settle for merely Barr openly interfering with the DOJ, to reduce Stone's sentence...

We can only hope that the Biden administration will break with precedent and send the slimy bastard to jail for the next 100 years or so- in Guantanamo. Or have him held in one of those cages that he is putting kids into.

Roger Stones has some serious balls... "No, a pardon implies that I am guilty- give me the commutation, it looks better."

 

 

In the coming years I fully expect Stone to be arrested again, this time he wont have the POTUS or a friendly AG to bail him out,..............................pucker up butter cup

You would think that a person who lie's as much as Trump does he would know how to spell liar.....................that ivy league education strikes again
