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.

Everything that this Administration is criminal, from using the WH as a prop for his re-election, to a Secretary of State getting involved in an election, to filling his pockets from donors to his campaign, but to this date nobody has dome anything, and nobody has stopped him. If the Democrats take the Presidency, the Senate and retain the House it has to be more than words.

Why on Earth would we want to be partners with them?

According to last nite's GOP convention ..not every country may appreciate Trump's approach, but he gets results

👁‍🗨“We’re aiming to do less testing than any other country in the world.”

They're already under-reporting positive tests and deaths. May as well reduce the testing!

The Hatch Act prohibits civil servants from using their title, office, or any sort of government resource while engaging in political activities, and the law imposes even tighter restrictions on those who work on national security matters. 

A couple notes on the Hatch Act after RNC events showcasing the White House: While there are certainly plentiful opportunities for Hatch Act violations from staffers involved with WH events during this convention, the President and first lady are immune from Hatch Act violations. - Betsy Klein

Who's going to prosecute? The DOJ? It's a banana republic. It's a joke. 

These people are supposed to be advancing the cause of this administration?

 

 

Even before Trump gets dragged out of the office along with his brood many will try to distance themselves from him trying to avoid get caught in the wash, Democrats need to make any and all accountable no matter what position they held and when they held it for what this administration has done in the last 4 years

Should we really be tarring everybody in the Trump administration with the same brush?  

Probably...

 

But what was that military style outfit Melania was wearing? A place for her Cuban cigars?

I didn’t care if she had an accent or not, but you’re finished when you say, with a straight face, that her husband  is the best hope for the future.

See if you don't test then you don't get any cases! Problem solved!

Trump really is the child who thinks cleaning his room is just stuffing all his mess under the bed.

See when she says future, she means her future. If her husband loses he opens himself up to a lot of prosecutions and possibly even the government seizing his ill gotten money. For a gold digger like her that's the worst possible future!

Trump really is the child who just stands in his messy room and says, "It's clean, it's the most beautiful clean room anyone has ever seen. Some people say a room has never been this clean. My daddy came here to look at how clean it is, and he's has tears.... I mean this big strong man is sitting here crying because this room is so clean."

 

FIFY

"Sir, you have the cleanest room I have ever seen. Thank-you, sir. for being such a good cleaner." 

The cleaners were in awe.....they said no one has ever done it better.   Compared it favorably with Mr. Clean and the Man from Glad....

 

I was going to say shoving stuff under his bed and calling it clean gives him too much credit. It would mean he did something, even if that something was unproductive. Trump is the kid who closes the door to his room and says it is clean thinking that no one can/will open the door to check.
