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.

People can still find plenty of online 'sources' who convince them that Trump will remain President.

Believe it or not, I was offered a $20 bet today, that Trump would remain in office

What the heck, I can always use a little more beer money. 

Yeah no one stages a coup without military support and cadet bonespurs is hated by the military.

Ironically, it sure as spit doesn't look like Pence has any future in politics. Religion pays much better, you don't have to run for office, and, once in, you do whatever you want.

I'm Not Saying Donald Trump Is Planning a Coup, But He's Doing Exactly What Someone Would Do if They Were Planning a Coup

Is Donald Trump Planning a Coup? (theroot.com)

(An interesting read)

That’s Trump’s doing again. He put in place people to do this. 
He’s still a big sissy.

 

Trump has installed his toadies at the head of the Pentagon and there is reason to believe that he has done so in anticipation of declaring martial law due to a "rigged election".  He and his advisors are hoping that if it comes to this, the military mindset of following orders without question will kick in and then troops will be sent into the streets to put down any dissent from voters or political adversaries. This is a chilling prospect  as this would suspend the courts, habeas corpus and all other individual rights. Any American who thinks it couldn't happen is delusional as Trump has given every indication of being willing to do exactly this.

He is certainly trying, but he overestimates what the military would be willing to do for him. Can't overthrow the rule of law without the force to back it up.

like these people?

"Nearly $1 million has been raised for Kenosha shooting suspect Kyle Rittenhouse, according to a Christian fundraising site and the teen's lawyers"

also two million bail raised.

they are in for a long haul, to set things straight it looks like.

"basket of deplorables" was dead on.

(CNN) - President Donald Trump on Saturday called Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, pushing him to convince state legislators to overturn President-elect Joe Biden's win in the state.

Trump asked Kemp to call a special session and convince state legislators to select their own electors that would support him, according to a source familiar with the conversation. He also asked the Republican governor to order an audit of absentee ballot signatures. 

Kemp explained that he did not have this authority and denied the request, the source said.

There has to be a law about President getting involved with the States and their election process, and trying to force his will on the electors, December 14th can't come quickly for this side show to be cancelled.

And why should he? He has, with the support of the GOP, committed treason, broken election laws and the Emoluments laws, not to mention all of the very apparent criminal acts he committed before becoming president. Thieves are gonna keep stealing until they go to jail.

I wonder if all of Trump's supporters know how much of a loser he is or are they blinded by what they think success looks like .........................spoiler alert Trump fanatics it's all a mirage he is a failure with everything that he has touched and deep down they all know it

So true, I always thought that trump was so good at tearing back the mask of the underbelly of politics, but David is right... trump is the ID of the modern conservative movement.

 

 

Make produce great again!

The only reason Trump likes cucumbers is because it mirrors his presidency.. cucumbersome.

Trump's performance in Georgia would be funny but with the political climate in the US the way it is, it is both sad and frightening. America is edging closer to civil ware every day.

But contrary to Trump, cucimbers have uses.

Over a month out from the election...

-306 to 232 electoral votes.

- 51.4% to 46.9% of the popular vote.

- 81,255,933 to 74,196,153 votes...

And countless FAILED attempts to overturn results.

Yet this is the GOP:

At this point... what do 'muricans do?
