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.

As I reflect on the attempted coup the other day, I keep coming back to these thoughts...

 

1. For a coup, that Trump told his followers was coming and invited them for ages, so few actually showed up. I mean, the Goldeyes get more people out for a weeknight game. How pathetic. 
2. For such a small group, how did they manage to "overwhelm" the police that we there? 
3. It's scary to think what might have happened if a larger group of MAGAts were actually there. 

In the clip I posted above with the police letting them in you can hear an officer say we disagree with this and then something inaudible, somebody clearly gave the order to let them in

Just now, do or die said:

1.  Trump was going to lead the mob down Pennsylvania Avenue, but his spurs started acting up
2.  More evidence coming out about some Capitol police aiding and abetting them.   We already know why the National Guard was delayed. 
3.  Hold on to yer red hats - open talk about bringing enough people, this time to "finish the job"

1. Bone spurs are real. Where was his golf cart? 
2. Yes, I've seen another recent video. Yikes
3. But, they're arresting, openly and publicly, those that were involved in the terrorist attack. I'm hopeful that this will dissuade other weekend warriors to stay home. Ultimately, they're dumb and lazy anyhow.

Yup, a distinct odour emitting from the police response, alright....

This hits hard. 

 

This is going to play out a lot in the next few months

I'm not sure if the real extremists even care. They're pretty much radicalized and based on the psychotic rhetoric on social media garbage dumps like Parler and the like, I think the US needs to be more vigilant than ever of this threat. I have to think they look at what happened on Wednesday as a failed mission and now it could be time to double down and "save America" from the opponents they've fabricated.

When you consider the fact pipe bombs and other devices have been discovered in and around the Capitol Building, it's a terrifying thought to see the lengths to which these seditious crazies are willing to go. And even if Trump goes along with the transition of power, he could wind up like other GOP members and be labeled a traitor, only tempering their resolve and willingness to escalate things. This is on the verge of full blown terrorism.

Trump opened a pandora's box of sorts in 2015 and did nothing but throw fuel on that fire in the years since. Closing it is probably impossible.

Trump has 1 card to play, pardon whoever he can including himself and leave town by Sunday, they are going to start impeachment proceedings on Monday, he could try to negotiate with Pelosi and Schumer but I think that road is closed.

I want to see trump arrested. 

the kingpin.

Biden backs Trump decision not to attend inauguration

“It’s a good thing, him not showing up,”“
He has exceeded even my worst notions about him. He has been an embarrassment to the country, embarrassed us around the world. Not worthy, not worthy to hold that office,”

Nailed it.

If this is Trump, which I doubt, he is monumentally stupid. This is the same persona he used to try to provide fake praise for himself.
