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.

Unfortunately the woman who was shot in the neck has died.

Maybe this is callous but I'd say her death was deserved. "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes." Dying slowly with a Trump flag cape on is a fitting end for any of these MAGAt Brigade clowns.

It's no different than the idiot from Tennessee who seemed shocked she got maced after storming the Capitol Building. What did you think was going to happen in response to your seditious actions?

These idiots have been duped, bamboozled, and completely brainwashed by a career grifter. 

Cowards. 

 

I'm going to pee my pants this is so funny.

What greatly frustrates me is this is their breaking point? Way too late.

Beyond belief..

police chief will be canned, maybe some cops who should be charged will be fired, but as usual in the usa, the ones responsible will live consequence free.

thats how it looks to me.

honestly, Americans deserve whatever they get if they give trump and friends a pass on this.

They deserve what they get for electing him in the first place. This is exactly what any sane person knew would happen. 

 

No, this is not Mel Brooks. We don’t have to rush to judgment, we saw it with our own eyes.

 

Once they have an investigation to how the Capitol was breached so easily it will fall back on the Capitol police who were ill prepared and in some cases just got out of the way of the terrorists, also why allow a rally on the day when they were to count the electoral vote, who denied the request for the National Guard from the night before, where was the Washington Police Department, Homeland Security, FBI, and any other agencies that could of been brought in just in case, this was a rag tag bunch of people sprinkled with some dark factions and they easily got into a building that should of been protected like a fortress considering that the Vice President, Vice President elect and all the Senators and Representatives being in one place and one time.

They're all morons.

Capitol police can only do so much.   It is the total lack of Federal response, that needs to be scrutinized, here

The Capitol police let them in and took selfies with them. 

If they were black, they would have been shot.

Blame all round.   3+ hours in - no National Guard, no military of any stripe.   Pence finally gave the NG order, when Trump still refused to do so.....

Yes, that needs to be examined too. That was a dereliction of duty from the highest office. 

This guys wants to be President

Yup, 100% the capitol police were set up to fail- they had no back up, support or riot equipment....

 

This is where it started- two ******* guys and a 3 foot tall fence:

 

 

 

You are not going to stop a mob of thousands with that.

I see so many thankful that the terrorists have left the Capitol Building and thankful that it's over. It's not over. The terrorists will continue to fight and they have racist mouthpieces in the gov't to follow. 

The US is going to continue to spiral downwards. Biden will be President in a couple of weeks but it's going to mean very little to the alt-right.

Ok, Mark.   So "the risks are too great"   

No risk, the last 4-5 years though.

 

Consequences. Although, I'm sure some racist POS will hire him. Someone like the MyPillow guy.
