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:

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.

So the number of cases connected to the Trump outbreak now stands at 25 at least:

Donny, Melania, Rona and Brad from his campaign, 3 GOP senators, ND President, Chris Christie, Kellyanne, Hope, 3 White House reporters, and 11 Cleveland Clinic Centre employees. Yes, 11 people from Monday’s debate. And Trump told his half of the room not to wear masks. 
But what may be more telling is that attendees, Wallace, and both candidates were to be tested before the debate. but Trump and his team showed up late and did not leave enough time to be tested before the debate started. After the debate he was lethargic on the flight home on Air Force One and fell asleep. A conspiracy-minded person might suggest that he knew he had COVID before the debate and showed up late to avoid the test result leaking. Hope Hocks positive test was being covered up by the White House before a journalist broke the news, forcing the administration to open up about Trump being tested, and we’ve all heard about the timeline fudging. If Biden falls ill, the chaos would be unbelievable. The VP debate suddenly has become the most consequential in US history.

Boy, when Kellyanne resigned to focus on her family, did not think that meant lying to your kid about your diagnosis and knowingly exposing and then infecting them.

Two things...

Got serious 1984 feel in some of those tweets.

The tweeter has the nuke codes.

When Donald Trump’s campaign took issue with a new rule on processing some votes in North Carolina, it didn’t just complain to the Board of Elections and file a lawsuit. It wrote to some of the state’s 100 local election offices with extraordinary guidance: Ignore that rule.


It’s clearly based on an overall strategy to disrupt the election as much as possible,” said Barry Richard, who represented President George W. Bush’s campaign in the 2000 Florida recount. “You’re really seeing a broad-based, generalized strategy to suppress the vote by the Republican Party.”

You know, as a single issue voter, I am disappointed the debate moderators have not put a question about Space Force to the candidates. Still undecided until I get answers. Thanks for the reminder Mr. President. 

All those tweets...I guess all the important blank papers don’t need to be signed today..

Operation MAGA spitting fire lately...

 

I have to say, it is quite the entertaining twitter feed... 

Wow - he's on full meltdown...  I really thought he had some devious master plan but no... its just so random.

A new paper by Berkeley Haas Prof. Jennifer Chatman and colleagues shows not only the profound impact narcissistic leaders have on their organizations, but also the long-lasting damage they inflict. Like carriers of a virus, narcissistic leaders “infect” the very cultures of their organizations, the researchers found, leading to dramatically lower levels of collaboration and integrity at all levels—even after they are gone.

space force was disappointing. That show should have been a lot funnier than it actually was based on who was in it.
