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.

Apparently Trump has decided to anoint his daughter Ivanka as the heir-apparent to the Trump political future. Gotta make Eric and Don Jr. feel all warm and fuzzy.

Yang sums up the Democrat's problem very succinctly.

 

 

 

They are supposed to be for the working class, they need to connect and do more for the working class. Not just talk about being the party of the working class, convince them of it through actions.

Steve Bannon’s Lawyers Defect After Batshit Call for Fauci Beheading

Published Nov. 06, 2020 2:06PM ET 

Steve Bannon’s lawyers have finally had enough. One day after the former Trump aide dreamed about putting Dr. Anthony Fauci and FBI Director Christopher Wray’s heads on pikes—like the old times—his legal team announced they’re withdrawing from his border-wall scam case. “Mr. Bannon is in the process of retaining new counsel, and Quinn Emanuel intends to move to withdraw,” William Burck, Bannon’s litigator at the white-shoe law firm, said in a filing. “As a result, Mr. Bannon respectfully requests that the status conference in this matter be adjourned for three weeks so that he may formally retain new counsel.” Burck didn’t elaborate on the move, but it comes after Bannon called for the beheadings on his “War Room” podcast. “I’d actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England. I’d put the heads on pikes, right? I’d put them at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats,” he said.

This is a symptom of what is wrong with the USA,

And he just won the Louisiana 3rd district... with 67.8% of votes...

 

Insane.

besides does anyone want to go through that again? I'm old enough to remember the 2000 election and I kept wondering why they hadn't called a winner yet then

So long as lawyers like John Yoo (who cobbled together "legal" justification for torture) are around and the GOP has money to fund them, the charade will go on. I hope Trump emerges from under his rock and goes on a public hissy-fit.

AMERICA

Aiding and abetting Donald Trump, quietly standing by, while he defecated on traditional American norms and values.   These people really have a large Orange stain, on their backs.

Bravo to Van Jones and CNN by going through with this question and answer. So sincere and from the heart. We have no idea what he, his family, and people of colour have to go through each and everyday in that country, but I hope most of us stand with him and share his feelings on this issue.

Always in denial for what’s in right in front of their faces.

good series at Slate "goodbye" to the trump minions heres one for jared

Who ever imagined the world would open so many doors, to give you so many options? But really, for a bright young man who knows how things work, why not? Coronavirus medical logistics expert, Middle East peace negotiator, campaign manager, criminal justice reformer, technology implementer, government systems innovator—that was you, all of it, all you.

Now what? Reach into the pocket of your skinny suit, and get out your phone. Try sending another encrypted DM to your good friend and fellow global dignitary Mohammed bin Salman to see what’s up, what you can do for him. What? “Safety number changed.” Huh, how about that. Scroll down, try another name, maybe one of the Chinese oligarchs? Nothing there, either. The Kuwaitis? Hmm. Oh, that incoming call? That’s your mortgage lender. Good luck!

I feel that dunking on the out going administration is going to be a thing, here we go.

 

 

Works for me..

 

 

I have a feeling Rmney is going to have a LOT of say in the next 2 years. Its nice to see a Senator that does care about USA citizens, democracy and actually reaching across the isle to work together.
