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.

Trump Allies Pocket Thousands to Lobby for Presidential Pardons: Report

I want to know why trump sent a  charged, high level mxican drug dealer who had been recorded working with cartel, back to mexico, where he is now released w.o. charge.

probably big money for that favour.

Mexico has exonerated a former defense minister who US prosecutors alleged was a drug capo nicknamed The Godfather, sparking outrage and claims that the country’s powerful armed forces have become untouchable.

Gen Salvador Cienfuegos was arrested at a Los Angeles airport last October for allegedly shielding a multimillion-dollar conspiracy to smuggle drugs into the US. But those charges were dropped by the justice department in November as part of a controversial backroom deal and Cienfuegos returned home to Mexico.

From Paul Ryan to Nikki Haley: GOP Nightmare of Senate Budget Chair Bernie Sanders About to Come True

"When Republicans controlled the Senate they used the reconciliation process to provide huge tax breaks for the rich and large corporations," said Sanders on Saturday. "We're going to use reconciliation to protect working families, the sick and the poor."

Cowboys For Trump' Founder Arrested In D.C. After Vowing To Bring Guns To Inauguration

A New Mexico county commissioner who heads Cowboys for Trump was arrested Sunday in Washington, D.C., by Capitol Police after vowing to bring back his guns for Inauguration Day.

Couy Griffin was wanted on an arrest warrant after storming the barricades of the Capitol Jan. 6, said authorities. He drove back from his New Mexico home in time for the inauguration Wednesday, a journey he chronicled on Facebook.

Griffin said in a chilling Facebook video clip on “Inside Edition” last Monday that “there’s going to be blood running” from the Capitol when rioters return.

“There will never be a Biden presidency,” he vowed in an interview on the program. “We’re not going to allow it.”

Griffin was charged in a criminal complaint Friday with “knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds” in the Capitol attack. Authorities did not reveal if Griffin was found with guns when he was arrested Sunday.

Given the mindset of many Americans, a record like Boebert's is a badge of honour.

Gordon Liddy is a good example.so many on the Republican side. Gingrich.

In a proclamation, Trump said the restrictions would be lifted Jan. 26, the same day a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention order requiring negative tests for air travelers coming to the U.S. takes effect.

But by then, Joe Biden will be president, and his press secretary tweeted that the restrictions would remain in place.

Dozen National Guardsmen Pulled From Biden Inauguration Security Detail

Two National Guard soldiers assigned to Washington, D.C., ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration have been removed over “inappropriate” posts or texts about the event, officials said Tuesday. Ten additional National Guard members have also been pulled from the Capitol security detail, though for reasons unrelated to the Jan. 6 insurrection. The Associated Press reported that all 12 troops had expressed extremist views online or else been tied to far-right militias, though the story did not identify which state the Guard members were from, nor what militia groups they were allegedly involved with.

At least one of the 12 individuals removed from the assignment was flagged by way of a tip line, Pentagon officials said at a Tuesday briefing.

On Monday, Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller said there was “no intelligence indicating an insider threat” to Wednesday’s inauguration ceremony, but added that law enforcement would be vetting National Guard personnel. A senior National Guard official suggested the vetting process amounted to the FBI canvassing social-media posts.
