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:

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.

Trump and his followers consider him the greatest president/patriot/husband/economist/scientist/military strategist of all time.

Biden needs to push an aggressive education agenda, in his upcoming term........as the general level of education, seems sorely lacking at the moment......

Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro have also aired the same "fact check", in the last few days.  They all got religion simultaneously.  

I would think Rudy has had enough seizures already.

For those who think the worst of Trump is over, or that he will not resort to a coup, you may be in for a shock. Ironically, Trump supporters have been supporting him out of fear that their rights and liberties will be taken away from them by the Democrats and their is Trump, fantasizing about becoming a dictator. The only thing stopping him is his fear that if he tries and fails, he would be executed.

It's over. A phone call means nothing. I could phone the Alpha Romeo dealership in Calgary enquiring on the price of Giulia Ti Lusso. Doesn't mean I have the money to buy one or they'll sell it to me. Just grasping at straws now. 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Sunday an agreement had been reached by congressional leaders of both parties on a roughly $900 billion COVID-19 relief bill.

“More help is on the way,” McConnell said on the Senate floor of the measure to provide assistance to address a number of coronavirus-related issues.

I’m sure nobody likes that compromise but it’s not what we want...it’s what some people need...now.

A statistic quoted on CNN Saturday was that 11% or one in five American homes are now food-insecure. That is, they don't have enough food on hand for three  days. That was a pretty big gun to the heads of any Democrats who care about their constituents. Those cheques are not going to get there overnight and children are going to go hungry because of the GOP jackholes, who care for no one apart from their mega-donors. Our political system is imperfect but when you look at the US system, we look damned good by comparison.

Those miles long car lines of people in line waiting to get a box of food should be an embarrassment to all but hey the rich got theirs to hell with the peasants.

That sort of attitude among the rich and powerful will destroy the US quicker than any foreign attacker.

And to think they only gave out the pittance they are because shocker, letting people go hungry is bad for their senate races. 

These people are so out-of touch it blows the mind.

 

 

                                            "Can we go lower tho?"

Oh hey look- another of these POS getting the vaccine before 99.999 of the population after making shitty comments related to Covid. Do we lump her in with Rubio and Lady Graham, of her own pile of ****?

 

 

None of these people should get the vaccine...

Us before you, we are the elite you are mere peasants, now going to your menial job if you still have one while you wait for a handout and don't forget to say thank you, oh and by the way "Merry Christmas"

No ****... it's like they don't understand what being human is about. 

 

And just because the above is not enough of a **** you he post this garbage afterwards:

 

Just the gall of someone who just skipped to the front of the line to get the vaccine to say this is maddening. 

The lot of these meatbags need to go.

 

To late to suck up considering you are ducking out and the next AG can do what Trump wants, your role in history has already be cast, maybe be more truthful when they investigate your time as AG

Bill is simply looking ahead.   For instance, at some point an more unredacted version of the Mueller Report will come out.
