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:

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.

Man known as 'QAnon Shaman' asks Trump for pardon after storming Capitol
https://thehill.com/homenews/news/534363-man-known-as-qanon-shaman-asks-trump-for-pardon-after-storming-capitol

His lawyer's comments are something else.....

Trump is going to pardon every single last one of the rioters. That will be part of his final **** you and he will just get deified even more by his supporters.

Probably, but from reports, Trump is now afraid that by issuing pardons left and right, he will provoke public anger that will harm "his brand".

Was it bad that we separated families and put kids in cages, just following orders, yes the blame game has started as everyone tries to point the finger at someone other then themselves.

Franklin Graham slammed for 'inciting violence' after comparing Republicans who voted to impeach to 'Judas'
   
Evangelical leader and top Trump religion advisor Franklin Graham is under fire Thursday after attacking Republican Members of Congress who voted to impeach President Donald Trump, to "Judas," the biblical times apostle who betrayed Jesus Christ.

"Shame, shame on the ten Republicans who joined with @SpeakerPelosi & the House Democrats in impeaching President Trump yesterday," Graham said on Twitter. "After all that he has done for our country, you would turn your back & betray him so quickly? What was done yesterday only further divides our nation."

Graham also suggested they were paid off to vote against Trump, a dangerous allegation especially just one week after MAGA domestic terrorists and insurgents committed murder and sedition.

Trump needs to ask Biden for the use of Air Force One when he leaves, now that's a conversation that needs to be tape and released.

Capitol Rioters Meant To ‘Capture And Assassinate’ Officials, Court Filing Says

WASHINGTON (Reuters) — Federal prosecutors offered an ominous new assessment of last week’s siege of the U.S. Capitol by President Donald Trump’s supporters on Thursday, saying in a court filing that rioters intended “to capture and assassinate elected officials.”

Prosecutors offered that view in a filing asking a judge to detain Jacob Chansley, the Arizona man and QAnon conspiracy theorist who was famously photographed wearing horns as he stood at the desk of Vice President Mike Pence in the chamber of the U.S. Senate.

The detention memo, written by Justice Department lawyers in Arizona, goes into greater detail about the FBI’s investigation into Chansley, revealing that he left a note for Pence warning that “it’s only a matter of time, justice is coming.”

“Strong evidence, including Chansley’s own words and actions at the Capitol, supports that the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States government,” prosecutors wrote.

 Yes, bow to Orange Jesus.     Meanwhile, Trump can go down to Florida, and run his own version of the PTL Club, like Graham ....and continue to fleece the flock.
Thank God, that Graham realized that Trump needed a "spiritual advisor" to help do the good work.

Why doesn't your fake billionaire dumbass dad start a new platform or why not a new propaganda channel, oh that's right he is soon to be penniless, you and your criminal family are now toxic

 


Fox & Friends: Twitter banning extremists like QAnon is ‘very scary’ because you can’t make decisions ‘based on truth’
   
"Fox & Friends" is defending what it is calling "conservative voices" and "conservative speech" by denouncing Twitter expunging 70,000 accounts tied to extremist groups like QAnon. Friday morning the Fox News morning show declared these extremists peddling often dangerous conspiracy theories and lies about the election are important voices of "truth" in the national conversation, which is false.

"It's very scary as to how this is going to affect you," co-host Ainsley Earhardt told viewers, "because they're trying to shut down voices so that you don't know the full story, and you can't make a decision based on truth."

 Despite 40 years, playing at being a fake moderate, mainstream Democrat..... Joe Biden has actually been a sleeper agent for the Red Peril.  Fortunately, some real intelligent people have have this all figured out.

Fleeing The Scene Of The Crime: Trump Will Leave White House Before Biden Is Sworn In: Report

President Trump plans to leave the White House on the morning of Jan. 20 and will hold a goodbye event at Joint Base Andrews, Reuters has reported. Trump has said he won’t be attending Biden’s inauguration that day, making him the fifth president to miss their successor’s swearing-in ceremony. His goal is to leave Washington while he is still president and before President-elect Biden is sworn in—he reportedly doesn’t want to wait until after, which could require him to ask Biden to borrow Air Force One. Although it’s unclear where he will fly directly after his departure next week, he’s said to have decided to settle in at Mar-a-Lago for the next phase of his life and bring some of his aides with him.

Pence Was ‘Seconds’ Away From Being Spotted by Capitol Mob: WaPo

The Trumpist mob that stormed the Capitol last week got dangerously close to one of their apparent targets: Vice President Mike Pence. A lone police officer was chased up the stairs during the attack, and if the officer had been unable to hold rioters back, they would have reached the landing and seen Pence, The Washington Post reports. Instead, rioters reached a landing area just seconds after Pence and his family passed through as the vice president was whisked away to safety.

The Post reports it took 14 minutes from when rioters began attempting to break into the Capitol for Pence to be rushed from the Senate chamber to a hiding spot, an astoundingly long time given the heightened danger of the situation. During the attack some rioters were heard chanting, “Hang Mike Pence!” Jacob Chansley, the “QAnon Shaman,” left a note on Pence’s desk that said, “it’s only a matter of time, justice is coming,” his charging documents allege.

Now here is a guy who kicks ass and takes names, better run Mo

 

As a footnote to the above post, not only would Trump have been unfazed by rioters hanging Pence, I believe he would have welcomed it for two reasons:  firstly, it would have confirmed to the psychotic Trump that his followers loved him so much they were willing to kill for him,( a tremendous ego boost, adding to his grandiose self-image) and secondly, it would have provided him the excuse he desperately wants to declare a national state of emergency (nevermind that he fomented it) and then he would have a pretext to declare martial law. This would have allowed him (in theory) to extend his reign indefinitely. I find it bizarre to say the least that there is an unwritten rule that no president can be charged with a criminal offence, no matter how egregious while in office, nor will he be charged after leaving office for crimes committed while president. The convention is that it would be bad for national unity, so even if the president commits traitorous acts, he will walk free.

So Trump is going to leave in the morning of the 20th so he doesn't have to ask Biden for the use of Air Force One, is anyone really surprised. Pence on the other hand phone Vice President elect Harris for the first time and offered her congratulations and offer the help with the transition

Pence is going to assume the role of defender of Constitutionalism, man of God, and bi-partisan good guy....hoping the stink eventually wears off.
