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.

Trump has spent the past several months attacking states that try to make it easier to vote by mail — though he recently claimed that mail-in ballots in Florida are fine because “Florida’s got a great Republican governor.”  👁‍🗨 (hypocrisy, Trump is thy name)

In any event, Trump’s lawsuit suffers from several fundamental flaws. Some of its arguments rely on federal statutes that most likely cannot be enforced through a lawsuit brought by a private party. Others rest on speculation about how certain provisions of AB4 will be implemented. Important prongs of Trump’s legal arguments rest on the Supreme Court’s decision in Bush v. Gore (2000), an opinion that explicitly states its decision is “limited to the present circumstances” and therefore should not be relied on by future courts.

He is a stupid man but he is smart enough to know what is waiting for him legally and the Ag wont be by his side, also the hit job Cohen will do on him will be devastating.

Trump runs away again:

The way the MSM is framing this is quite frightening... couple that with refusing to protect the election from foreign interference, installing a trumpnloyalist as postmaster who has raised the rate of mail in ballots to first class postage (nearly tripling the cost to tax payers) and relegating experienced postal officers into lesser roles and solidifying power to the postmaster and bringing in unnecessary hurdles to mail in voting.... sheesh, I am genuinely afraid for the USa citizens that the USA is actually sliding into an authoritarian regime... and their republic is done....

yeah, this is authoritarianism at its finest -- McConnell jams up the existing system and Trump rides to the rescue.

If Trump steals the election they will burn America to the ground and the only place Trump will be safe is inspecting the bunker

👁‍🗨 A somewhat long but hard hitting article on:

The Unraveling of America  

In a dark season of pestilence, COVID has reduced to tatters the illusion of American exceptionalism. At the height of the crisis, with more than 2,000 dying each day, Americans found themselves members of a failed state, ruled by a dysfunctional and incompetent government largely responsible for death rates that added a tragic coda to America’s claim to supremacy in the world....

Today, the base pay of those at the top is commonly 400 times that of their salaried staff, with many earning orders of magnitude more in stock options and perks. The elite one percent of Americans control $30 trillion of assets, while the bottom half have more debt than assets. The three richest Americans have more money than the poorest 160 million of their countrymen....

The nation that defeated smallpox and polio, and led the world for generations in medical innovation and discovery, was reduced to a laughing stock as a buffoon of a president advocated the use of household disinfectants as a treatment for a disease that intellectually he could not begin to understand....

The republic that defined the free flow of information as the life blood of democracy, today ranks 45th among nations when it comes to press freedom....

The American president lives to cultivate resentments, demonize his opponents, validate hatred. His main tool of governance is the lie; as of July 9th, 2020, the documented tally of his distortions and false statements numbered 20,055...

For the moment, we have only the kleptocracy of Donald Trump. Between praising the Chinese for their treatment of the Uighurs, describing their internment and torture as “exactly the right thing to do,” and his dispensing of medical advice concerning the therapeutic use of chemical disinfectants, Trump blithely remarked, “One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.” He had in mind, of course, the coronavirus, but, as others have said, he might just as well have been referring to the American dream...

Jeebus. Thanks Debbie.

Somebody’s got to stop this maniac..

 

 

2:47 - 4:32 Obama’s talking. This is a real leader. What a pleasure it is to listen to him talk, and actually make sense.

 

When Trump was doing his cognitive test and repeated those five words, he actually was saying mail as the third word..it’s always on his mini mind.

 

 

well at least he's picked someone I've heard of, I had never even heard of Sarah Palin or Paul Ryan or Tim Kaine when they were picked as running mates

I don't know if I'm more excited because she's a great candidate and will absolutely decimate Mike Pence in a debate, or because Maya Rudolph and Jason Sudekis together in sketches will be fantastic....

Harris is a name we all recognize and can get behind...😄

And on that note, now we’ll see the reaction from the trumpomites..

A good deep dive into the Burisma "scandal"
