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.

Yeah, @JCon had suggested:

Which is a really solid idea and would mitigate a lot issues.

 

I also like Buttegieg's idea of GOP pick 5, Dems pick 5 and then those 10 justices appoint another 5 with unanimous consent.- for a total of 15 SCOTUS Justices. 

I hate that idea.  All you will get it gridlock in choosing judges. There will also be so many side deals and corruption. It would just bring even more politics into the court. No wonder Buttegieg likes it. 

City leaders to Trump: Pay your bills, help us fight the coronavirus: 
Fourteen city governments say the president's campaign now owes them a collective $1.82 million. The campaign says it's not responsible.

Scorecard to date:

Ripped off contractors in NYC
Ripped off Trump University students
Ripped off sick kids (Trump Foundation)
Didn't pay enough taxes
Doesn't pay debts
Doesn't pay Campaign bills
Rips off American taxpayers as President (much, much more to come out on that topic)

But to be fair.....he did pay his taxes on those secret Chinese bank accounts.
 

 

A Trump never pays his debts.

Q: Hospitals in Wisconsin are near capacity. Does that give Pence any pause in heading there today for a big rally?

Render unto Trump....what is yours.

*Paywall
 

NEW: @realDonaldTrump's tax records show that big banks and hedge funds gave him hundreds of millions of dollars of financial breaks.

Trump managed to avoid paying taxes on almost all of it.

Latest in @nytimes tax series. by me, @russbuettner, etc.

I dont understand how this is huge news- its not like trump is famous for his empathy and concern for the safety and wellbeing of his supporters.

if you can't trust Hogan Gidley, we're all in trouble!

I think Hogan's parents chose between Hogan, Crenshaw, palmer and Trevino.

 

I think they should have gone with Crenshaw.

How do folks,  Crenshaw Gidley's the name. bullshitting is the game.

Worst line in a long string of total nonsense spewed by none other than the fake president:

"I really don't want to be talking about an opponent in a negative way"

So many of these float-heads lying about that Trump can pick and choose who serve him.

 

This is the beginning of the scorched-earth policy that the GOP and Trump are instituting to punish America for voting them out and it is only going to get worse from here on. They will scramble to enrich themselves and try to shield themselves from criminal charges.  It will escalate after the election and then the violence and threats will reach heights not seen in America since their last civil war. Canada will probably have to restrict Americans from flooding over the border even further.

Good. 
When does it start? Nov 3rd?

 

New twist on a Classic

 

 

Conservative Twitter losing it’s mind this morning over Tucker Carlson’s interview with Tony Bobulinski, a “business associate” of Hunter Biden, who has “shocking proof” of Joe’s side business deals with China. Two main talking points are

(a) how this will blow the lid off the Biden campaign and lead to criminal prosecution against the Biden crime family (the projection of the President’s supporters is really quite something), which so far has led to.............um, nothing of the sort

(b) how scandalous it is that NO OTHER mainstream media is even picking up the story, and it is not trending on Twitter proving the massive bias and cover-up to protect Joe. 
 

Now I don’t know all of the facts, and can’t say for sure if the whole laptop from hell etc. is phony or not. The optics of it look very suspect as a legit story given the source of the information. But what I really have to laugh at now is how Trump is whining on Twitter that no one believes this story and refuses to cover it. Trump has lied so often in the past 4 years and about such dumb stuff and easily disprovable claims at times (biggest inauguration, I never said I don’t take responsibility) that he has become the boy who cries wolf. Even If the Biden story is 100% real, there is smug satisfaction that Trump’s own serial lying behaviour has sabotaged any possibility that he will be believed now. You screwed yourself there, stable genius. And the whole “boy who cries wolf” parable was one I learned in Grade One. You are what, 74 years old?

Wow. Serious dystopia vibes from this with shades of 1984... it's... just wow.
