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.

GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn Was Armed With Gun During Insurrection He Helped Incite
Hours before sheltering in the Capitol, the first-term lawmaker was at the "Stop the Steal" rally encouraging Trump supporters to reject the results of the election.
By Sebastian Murdock, HuffPost US

Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) said he was armed with a gun during the Jan. 6 attack on Capitol Hill by supporters of President Donald Trump, many of whom came from a rally where Cawthorn spoke earlier in the day.

Speaking to the Smoky Mountain News a day after the violence, Cawthorn said he was on the House floor when lawmakers were notified to evacuate as a mob of Trump supporters began to pour into the Capitol.

“Fortunately, I was armed, so we would have been able to protect ourselves,” Cawthorn told the publication.

A spokesperson for the first-term lawmaker also confirmed to HuffPost that Cawthorn was carrying a gun the day of the siege.

“It’s Congressman Cawthorn’s general posture to practice his 2nd Amendment rights, as well as the rights afforded to him as a member of Congress,” the spokesperson said in an emailed statement on Wednesday.

Donald Trump Set To Be Impeached For Second Time.  Trump will be the first president to ever be impeached twice, this time over the Capitol insurrection.
By Matt Fuller, HuffPost US

WASHINGTON ― A majority of members of the House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to impeach President Donald Trump for the second time.

The article of impeachment charges Trump with “incitement of insurrection.” It is a single article, narrowly drafted by Reps. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) and Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) while they were in lockdown during the Capitol riot last week.

 

 

A dubious distinction that is well Deserved. 

 

Hopefully McConnell might.... yeah, I know- *insert maniacal laughter*

The most bipartisan impeachment too.

Too bad ***** McConnell isn't going to actually do anything about it. 

 

Time for the democrats to launch a full investigation into things and root out all the traitors in the republican party.

Mitch wants Trump gone, but by delaying this McConnell can:

Pose as a law and order/defender of the constitution, by "punishing" Trump and (more importantly) prevent him from running again
Not have to face the red hat odium, by kicking out Trump before his term ends.   He would take heat...but he is not up for re-election

I think that you are right- McConnell is trying to look like a righteous politician who damns what Trump has done all the while being careful to not anger the lunatics who follow Trump and worship at his feet.

Very believable. Trump swings between being monofocused to the point  of obsession and having the attention span of a fruit fly.

Not to Democracy and the American people in general.   Oh no.......

To Trump it was always about the brand and enriching himself and family with the Presidency

 

 

Pretty well sums up Trump 33% base

 

I think I should follow Rick Wilson...

If Rudy was the best Trump could get, who's going to represent him in court? Time to start thawing out the caveman lawyer. 

 

They should go on Judge Judy.

amazing to think that if Trump had responded sanely to covid, he probably would have been reelected, and this fascist disease would have wormed even deeper.

this appears to have been a near miss.
