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.

You? Discuss? Lol. No, I could have said my piece & be on the defensive for 20 posts & be insulted so what's the point? No one is going to change their minds especially you.

Wait til she sees his makeup charge..

 

Okay, who had former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale barricading himself in his house and making threats come on down and claim your prize, maybe he got a call from Trumpbrokeoutofcash about the money that he stole from the campaign.

Don't bother wasting your time,  their is a reason why so many good people have left this site.   The vocal minority of irrational and close minded folks can't fathom being wrong and then proceed to spam the board with nonsense to a point where all the decent people leave and the left overs circle jerk over each other with nonsense. 

It's unfortunate that the CFL season isn't on to help drown out the crap posters but until next year this site will be a ghost town with exception of the people who can't accept that their are people who have different opinions which can be backed by facts.

I hope this site is still alive by next season... don't want it to become Ourbombers all over again.

I knew if I kept on answering it was going to deteriorate into a personal insult (of me) session so I decided to end my participation. Thing is, I'm not even a Trump supporter. I hope he loses in November but that still isn't enough to prevent from being jumped on here by some. Some posters were rational with me here like JCon, Mr Dee & Wanna-B-Fan Boy & I thank you guys for that. We don't have to always agree so I appreciate being treated with respect. Others are just looking to fight any opinion they don't like. So, it's not worth it to keep on posting on this thread when that happens. 

I take no pleasure in reading this...

No wait, yes I do

 

How about neither mon Amy?

Talking about me or you? 

Cause I will tell you I am not in the minority and I am not the closed minded one. The closed minded people are the ones like you and speedflex who just cry when your opinions are challenged.

When you make comments like this it shows whose mind is closed.

I wonder who could be behind this?

 

 

Keep scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, though the streams are rolling, though those loonies are rolling, we hide..

Trump might need to find a country to escape to that doesn't have an extradition agreement with the States after his paper trail of thievery, corruption and fraud is completely cracked open,  he continues to do to this every day by using the Presidency to enrich himself 

I'm still amazed at the amount of people who STILL think it's blue vs red or right vs left or PC vs Lib

problem is, we think he's doing something wrong. which he is, he's a con man. But is he doing anything illegal? I'd bet he's had plenty of lawyers go over things and he knows the risks. I'm sure there is plenty of illegal activity going on, but most will be/could be solved with a good lawyer and $$.

Asking the system that allows him to do these things to turn around and punish him is Stockholm syndrome at its finest. But hey, sure they'll find something so that we all feel better and he'll go on with his life as he always had, except now he'll get free lifetime security and a presidential pension.

The difference here is supposed to be that he is now a public servant ripping off his employers on the public dime. When he was a con man in private business he did tons of illegal things and got called out on it, but it was always through private lawsuits. And since he had deep pockets courtesy of daddy, he could stonewall and muck up the proceedings legally and bankrupt his opponent before it ever got to court, so when he ultimately settled all those lawsuits she’d pay pennies on the dollar. 
 

But now he’s playing with the taxpayers’ money. His golf weekends at his own course with top dollar for the secret service to rent a room while he’s there goes from the taxpayers’ pockets into his personal company, which unlike every other President was required to he did not divest himself of. And the rules about Presidents not profiting and the whole emoluments clause are pretty clear, so now he is breaking a law that is not a civil matter.

I hope you're right, and applaud your optimism for justice. But I'd bet a lot of money he will live out his days on some island making fun of those who voted him into power.

As always a tweet bites him in his giant arse

 

I'll be shocked if he doesn't win in a landslide...  

Either way, there are so many potential charges and/or embarassments waiting that he will never leave office.
