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:

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.

Holding steady gives Biden the edge, although I don’t think by that much.

Trump is not smart enough to debate. He doesn't understand policy, how it's formed, or how to execute it. Debates are a waste of time with him. 

yeah his idea of a debate is be louder and repeat lies often enough that people just start believing it. 

I mean christ he was finally pushed into a debate when it was brought up comments from experts from his own government agencies were directly contradicting what he claimed and his response was "well I disagree with that" 

Like that's not how a debate work! You don't get to say the experts say this and then say no they're wrong when you are shown that the experts are in fact saying something totally opposite. 

 

I fear for americans based on that debate because despite Trump not saying much what he did say was terrifying. Talking about protests he basically said "let me go in and end it quickly" aka use force to suppress protests. More "law and order" which just more jailing people and police brutality. Total authoritarian. Talking about the economy all he cares about still are tax cuts for the rich which is horrible so keep making the citizens wage slaves. Keep dividing the country... Just really sad that so many people buy his **** when it is so obviously out to lunch. 

Took me awhile to catch up what was going on..

 

 

Cruising around the Web, have discovered that yes indeed it was all Chris Wallace's fault.  Because according to some sources, him and Biden "ganged up" on poor Donald Trump

He knows this,
Hence, the ole raging Twitter mode

Wallace tried his best to keep order but Trump would not shut up. He really needed a mute button to turn off Trumps mic because that's the only way to get him to shut up. 

 

He never could think about what he was about to say..

 

That’s what the Democrats were hoping for.

You do know that Biden has a stuttering impediment, yea?

I think he was trying to give you context- what you do with it is really up to you.

That’s why I asked him, what his point was. Was he trying to give context or was he trying to make a point 

I saw somewhere that a trapdoor might be handy.

That would work..

Sure, that’s why I asked him what his point is. 

The White House has blocked a new order from the C.D.C. to keep cruise ships docked until mid-February, a step that would have displeased the politically powerful tourism industry in the crucial swing state of Florida https://nyti.ms/2Gn2FTg

Yup that pretty much sums it up. Your ability to get inside my head is a bit unsettling. :)

 trying to hammer away on the same talking points he brings up every time he speaks and going with his tactic of just shouting over everyone and not letting anyone else speak. Attempt to drown out everything but your own message. 

The irony of you writing this lol

Watching the debate I wish that they had a third party with The Rock as the candidate and wishing that he would cut a classic 1999 promo on these jabronis. 

What a complete joke,  an embarrassment to the country. Biden looked weak , Trump looked even more foolish then normal, the moderator completely failed at taking control. Couldn't they of cut Trumps mic when he kept interrupting?

It's either lyrics to my new country song or a pitch for a new revenge action flick (eying Liam Neeson for the role).
