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.

Soon enough my friend..

This debate was quite a bit different than the other debates. I guess it was the set up, the moderator and the debaters. I’ve never really heard the reverend before but he was quite good in that he stuck to what he wanted to say and mostly stayed away from trading barbs with Loeffler.
Other than a few comments, I haven’t heard from Loeffler either. But if she was trying to reach the common folk of Georgia, she failed.

It’s hard to believe her “American Dream” talk would resonate with these people. I guess she’s implying all you have to do is find a very rich guy, marry him and get appointed to the Senate. No problem eh?

And you sure could tell what her focal point was. ‘Radical’. She must have used that term 20 times in calling him radical and the left as being radical.

It wasn’t really believable, what with his demeanour, and his history. But she tried.

 

 

 

It is time.... to rebut the silly narrative that the Trump administration and White House, are simply sitting on their hands......while America faces a medical and economic crisis.

Don’t know him..but he seems very weak.

Trump bootlicker CDC Director Robert Redfield being replaced in the Biden Government.

AG Barr needs to be investigated for how he butchered the Mueller report and how he has messed up the DOJ, maybe he thinks he can slip out the back door and go calmly through the night

 

I'm sure it would work on that idiot

 

You’d be forgiven if you looked at this and thought it was from before the pandemic. but no no — it’s today.

Trump's attorney general mulling his 'you can't fire me, I quit' moment — but the damage is already done

   
William Barr may stop being attorney general before the end of Donald Trump's time in the White House, but will it be because he quit or was fired? Days after it was reported that Trump may fire Barr, new reports have Barr considering quitting.

Anonymous sources tell both The New York Times and The Washington Post that Barr was totally, absolutely, thinking about quitting before the reports that he might be fired. But even if this isn't a case of "You can't fire me because I quit," it's definitely a rat deserting the sinking ship. As long as Trump was in a position for Barr to advance an agenda of unchecked executive power, firing squads, white supremacy, and attempting to crush U.S. cities under federal power, Barr was on board—he reportedly told people that he would like to stay on into a second Trump term if Trump had won. But now, be it the impending humiliation of being fired or the impending loss of power anyway, he's ready to go.

This is so Republicanish:

Trump supporter:

"Myself, I thought that Perdue, stood tall, was very articulate, and proved himself a real patriot.....completely owning that crazed socialist all night.   Imagine what Senator Perdue could of done, to that snowflake, if he had actually showed up, there."

I'm David Perdue, and I approve this message.

This is a really interesting article

The future of the Republican party is an endless series of loyalty tests and Trump family vendettas. Good luck.

maybe the gop will behind the scenes encourage prosecution of trump.

These guys are buffoons, totally incompetent fools, time after time they have let the US and it's people down, Trump doesn't own this Vaccine nor any other

From The New York Times:

Trump administration officials passed when Pfizer offered in late summer to sell the U.S. government additional doses of its Covid-19 vaccine, according to people familiar with the matter. Now Pfizer may not be able provide more of its vaccine to the United States until next June because of its commitments to other countries, they said.

As the administration scrambles to try to purchase more doses of the vaccine, President Trump plans on Tuesday to sign an executive order “to ensure that United States government prioritizes getting the vaccine to American citizens before sending it to other nations,” according to a draft statement and a White House official, though it was not immediately clear what force the president’s executive order would carry.

…

Asked if the Trump administration had missed a crucial chance over the summer to snap up more doses for Americans, a spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Human Services said, “We are confident that we will have 100 million doses of Pfizer’s vaccine as agreed to in our contract, and beyond that, we have five other vaccine candidates.”

This is a perfect example of why government fails when it is run like a business, no less a corrupt one. Team Trump (likely Kushner) decided it would be smarter to dangle these billions of dollars among several Big Pharma companies, and get them to fight amongst themselves to give the U.S. the lowest bid, or the bid with the best secret kickbacks to the Trump crime family.

At any rate, it’s a bit late for Trump to now try to demand the U.S. get Pfizer vaccines before other countries do. The market has already spoken, and Trump missed his shot. Unforgivable.

What a statesman, but really he just leaves so he wont have to answer any questions. 

 

Maybe, he HAD ‘to go’ or already did.

 

 

Lucy put it best:

 

As opposed to Trump and his cronies filing court challenge after court challenge and losing, it's about the courts start to make people pay from opening their mouths and spewing garbage without thinking

 

It's incredible that a guy who golfs so much is that bad, his golf game much like his brand is for losers

 

Today el Lardo wanted to take a victory lap as if he invented the vaccine, remember this giant ass said that the virus was a hoax and it was 1-5 cases and it would go away, Dr. Trump would hold campaign presser disguised as Covid updates and then declared that they had rounded the corner as his administration claimed the virus had been beaten, fast forward to the election where he is was beaten silly and Trumpbaby decides that he doesn't care about the virus and as people are contracting it and dying from it and businesses and lives are ruined he goes into hiding coming out only to golf, which leaves us to today at a vaccine summit where decides to cry about the election that he still thinks he won openly asking for the election results to be thrown out, and proceeds to tell everyone how great he is, he is mortified to not be POTUS with the protection that it gives him.
