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:

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.

A dangerous snake.....who wants to be the evangelicals chosen one, moving forward.   Given that he is a God fearing hypocrite......Cruz is fully qualified.

Trump Reportedly Wailed at Pence: ‘I Don’t Want to Be Your Friend’ Anymore 

Reuters/Carlos Barria
Remember the part in Toy Story 2 when Woody has a nightmare about Andy telling him he doesn’t want to play with him anymore? Well, that exact fate has reportedly befallen Vice President Mike Pence. According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Pence and President Trump met on Wednesday morning, before Trump left to whip up his supporters into a violent rage that ended in them storming the Capitol building. The report states that Pence informed Trump once again that he did not have the power to toss aside Electoral College votes and—even if he did have that power—he wouldn’t even use it as it would set a terrible precedent. That frankness is said to have infuriated Trump, who reportedly told Pence, one of his most obedient enablers over the past four years: “I don’t want to be your friend... I want you to be the vice president.” That had to hurt.

Seems the mob left feces all over the hallways, of the Capitol Building.   A MAGA political statement, if you will......

The terrorists feel they have been lied to and abandoned by........................................Trump

Oh wow, looks like they have enough votes to remove:

 

 

 

 

Damn... do it then. The Democrats need to impeach and get the articles of Impeachment over to the Senate ASAP, toss it to them and let them vote. Let them bear the responsibility of what ever the "next" trump move is.

What's the bigger risk - letting Trump hide out for the rest of his term or removing him beforehand and letting Pence pardon him? 

 

The guy has the nuclear codes and access to foreign leaders but he seems totally disinterested in anything to do with his job anyhow. 

 

He's just so incompetent. Imagine supporting this loser?!

It won't get through the Senate......but some public shaming is required, here...

Why should they feel any different than the rest of Americans?

Trump says he won't attend Biden inauguration.   Fine.  Nobody wants the SLOTUS (Sore loser President) there, anyways.  

the law suit by dominion..... there appears to be no defence.

those liars finally being called to account, too bad its left to a private entity to do sometimg effective.

accidentally most likely. 

right wingers like to **** like animals.

Militiamen seem to have forgotten the old advice to leave only footprints and take only memories during their 41-day occupation of a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon.

Investigators found "significant amounts of human feces in and around" a campsite near a Native American burial ground within the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

Why are they waiting?

Impeaching Trump will not remove Trump immediately, only the Senate can do that and atm they wont, most likely they will impeach when he is gone, two impeachments keeps him from ever running for office ever again.

They're like parents who refuse to discipline their children, always threatening but never implementing punishments. It's exasperating. Meanwhile, everyone else suffers for their inaction. 

nuclear codes... why is this not topic no 1 ?

all along this has been the by far the worst aspect of this. 

there is no safe way to have nuclear weapons.

This is a solid thread. It addresses the question of why the Alt right and white supremisists believe what most certainly is not reality- They don't.

If you have a few minutes, it's worth the read.
