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.

People contributing to fill the pockets of a fake billionaire are the most gullible people in the world, he doesn't gives a rats ass about the people everyone in his orbit are trying to fleece.

And the grift continues post presidency. Its not shocking or unexpected, so it's nice that reporting on it continues and keeps underscoring how unprecedented these behaviors are.

 

 

Huh... that's funny, I swear earlier this week I read in fox news or some other right wing bull horn, that "democrats are moving in from the coastal elite cities to Georgia to vote in the senate election!" and other faux manufactured outrage....

 

 

Democratic Rep. Katie Porter (Calif.) on Wednesday got into a heated conversation with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchinduring a House Financial Services Committee hearing, with Porter claiming that Mnuchin was “play-acting to be a lawyer.” 

Porter specifically grilled Mnuchin over his support to move $455 billion in COVID-19 relief from the Federal Reserve back into the Treasury’s general fund, making it harder for his successor to access the emergency funding.

Add Mnuchin to the list of politicians profiting at the expense of Americans, his gold digging wife isn't staying with him for his looks, he definitely needs to be investigated, he can act as his own lawyer if he wishes.

She has a wonderful career ahead of her.

Ooh, ooh, I know the answer to these

 

Thid would be comical if it wan't for the fact that this pack of fools and thieves had free rein in the government for four years. We can only hope that there is a steady parade to the courts for them soon. That is the only way to deter them from doing this thing again.

FOR ANYONE WHO DOUBTED THAT TRUMP IS A MONSTER:

 

Trump accused of withholding data needed to reunite families separated at border: 'Unconscionable'

   
Following what one attorney described as months of deliberate stonewalling, the Trump administration has finally handed over key data that could help legal advocates reunite immigrant families separated under the Justice Department's destructive "zero tolerance" policy.

In a court filing (pdf) Wednesday, attorneys with the ACLU said they have not yet been able to locate the parents of 628 children, down from 666 last month. The filing revealed that the Trump administration provided "information from another government database that had not previously been disclosed (the Executive Office for Immigration Review)" last Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving.

"Among other things, the information includes phone numbers that had not previously been disclosed," the court document reads.

Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project and one of the lawyers working to reunite families, told CNN that "we've been asking them for any additional information they have forever and we only finally got this information after outcry that parents still could not be found and the issue reached the presidential debate level."

These Republican creeps actually think that they are superior, simply because they are men.

When you have major relgious groups enthusiastically rubber-stamping every reprehensible thing you do as divinely approved, hubris is automatic.
