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.

If only the Senate would of done the right thing when they had the chance instead of justifying that they have the right to question the results of the election for what the Democrats have done to Trump for the last four years

The rats are going to flee as fast as then can as Melania's Chief of Staff just resigned over the violence of this afternoon.

would saying that the Trump administration is basically the Titanic if the Iceberg was on the ship accurate?

Rudy Giuliani called for “trial by combat” and then chaos descended on Capitol Hill.  The president's lawyer wants to have a “trial by combat” to determine if baseless fraud claims are true

Just before a mob of MAGA supporters swamped the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, Donald Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani proposed a "trial by combat" over his baseless allegations of election rigging during a bizarre speech at a rally to protest the certification of Joe Biden's Electoral College win. 

Giuliani spoke ahead of Trump's speech at the so-called "Save America Rally" in Washington DC, repeating the same false claims that have been rejected by dozens of courts and Trump-appointed judges, Republican election officials, and Trump's own Justice Department. The rally came ahead of a joint session of Congress to formally certify the Electoral College results where a group of Republicans planned a futile challenge to an election President-elect Joe Biden won by a 306-232 electoral margin.

At one point during his speech, the former New York City mayor said he would stake his reputation on a bizarre conspiracy theory that Dominion Voting machines, which are used in numerous states, flipped votes from Trump to Biden even though the claim has been repeatedly discredited.

"So over the next ten days, we get to see the machines that are crooked, the ballots that are fraudulent. And if we are wrong we will be made fools of. But if we are right, a lot of them will go to jail," Giuliani declared. "So let's have trial by combat! I'm willing to stake my reputation, the president is willing to stake his reputation on the fact that we're going to find criminality there."

Shouldn't Rudy's social media accounts be suspended too?

 

Trevor is not wrong. That is most likely one of her viewers. 

JUST IN: “This is not news we deliver lightly,”

says as she reports: Trump Cabinet secretaries are discussing invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump. Nothing formal yet presented to VP Pence. “I’m talking about actual members of the Cabinet,” she said

Just saw this as well. As welcome and appropriate as this would be, I suspect that it is GOP members hearing the drums and deciding to save their own asses.

Lindsey Graham just spoke intelligently. Hard to believe.

Theynwere probably scared shitless today; hiding under their desks while crackpot thugs with guns are roaming the room and no help in sight thanks to trump; in fact some cops fraternizing with the terrorists.

thugs in the congress hollering "where's pence"

Imjust read that trump is angry with Pence; not comfortable feeling for Mike.

and trump has lickspittles in authority that would gladly arrest some of them if told to do so. then what.

hes one bad night away from ordering martial law.

then what.

I think they were finally face to face with the monster they created.

and the fact that he absolutely attempted a coup d'etat.

If section 25 is not invoked now, Trump's natural and predictable next step will be to invoke martial law and suspend Congress and the Senate, thereby making himself tyrant without any definable limit as to term or power. Pence had his parachute packed a long time ago- he and his family are flying out to Europe tomorrow and he has delusions about running for president in 2024. 

Edited January 7, 20215 yr by Tracker

without a doubt trump enjoyed his display of power today, and enjoyed seeing the people he thinks betrayed him cowering in fear, because of him.

hes completely insane.

no doubt some of those cracpots like hawley would be fine with a coup as long as they got their reward.

very very disturbing

looks like you were right about this all along.

No, no- that's stink. It's coming from all the **** stuck in and behind his ears from having his head so far up trump's ass.

Oh FFS- Here we go- Gaetz sees some people all dressed in black and now they are antifa.... when it was stated by Enrico that they would probably be wearing all black....  this will be the new talking point and excuses for the MAGA insurrectionists- It wasn't trump supporters, they have never rioted before- they are peaceful protesting Patriots.... it was all Antifa... 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, look at all those antifas:

When it comes to marbles......Rudy's bag is a bit short...

Scumbag Alert: 

After everything that just happened, Mo Brooks was on the House floor saying that Joe Biden stole the election with millions of illegal alien votes.   Christ.  

This is after he kicked off the morning Trump rally with this:

“Today is the day American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass”

The trump era in one tweet:

 

Trump pledges 'orderly' transition after riot and Biden win certification - CNN

👁‍🗨Please, nobody believe him...

Follow through with this....
