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.

One of Trump's favourite tactics is to refuse to pay his attorney(s) and then sue them for misrepresentation  Then when he loses that, he refuses to pay those lawyers and then threaten to sue them if they do not accept pennies on the dollar as settlement, etc etc.

You know... I was fully expecting the hypocrisy in full swing as soon as Biden became POTUS... but it still irks me when motherfuckers like this racist piece of **** start going on and on about suppressing freedom and discrimination- like these last 5 years of his policy suggestions and recommendations were not all about suppressing freedoms and using discrimination like policy cudgel.

The one person that needs to be investigated next to Trump, get him in front of a committee and watch his smug attitude disappear, a lot of Trump worst actions and policies were instituted by this waste of skin racist.

Apparently we are told by a few here that all this about Trump, his administration, the GOP, his family, his supporters is vastly overstated regardless of what's caught on video, audio, documentation and/or in-person.

Yea he's not the greatest but what about (insert whoever), all you here live in an echo chamber not willing to listen to the 'other side' so blinded by your hatred of Trump (insert usually a condescending laugh or joke). 

 Did I get that right?

See what he means is freedom to commit genocide on dirty brown people without having to hear criticism of it.

Arsonist well qualified to comment on fires

Apparently the GOP strategy now that they have lost the federal elections is to shift their emphasis to state governments in the expectation that they will be able to execute the Trump strategy of overruling the electoral processes at the state level if they do not go the GOP way. This is, at best, a very iffy legal concept but they are assuming that it will be all they have.

So Trump has 2 new lawyers.   One declined to charge Bill Cosby. The other says Jeffrey Epstein was murdered.  Film at 11.

You get what you (may) pay for. Apparently Trump's defence will be not that he did not encourage the sedition, but that he was justified because the election was stolen from him. This is why no other lawyer was willing to represent him.  His current lawyers had better make sure they get a large retainer in advance.

Seems like American rules on what lawyers can do are much more relaxed than in....... most modern western countries.

few years ago scalia was hanging out with D  cheney, when a few weeks later he was hearing a case cheney was a party to.

this would not happen here. period.

 

wow..... cops handcuff and pepper spray a nine year old girl . buffalo n.y.

shocker!

Trump "election defense fund" was actually massive fundraising scam - Lawyers, Guns & Money.

 

The picture that emerges in the new Federal Election Commission reportsis of Mr. Trump mounting a furious public relations effort to spread the lie and keep generating money from it, rather than making a sustained legal push to try to support his conspiracy theories.

His campaign’s single biggest expense in December was a nearly $5 million media buy paid to the firm that bought his television advertisements. His second-largest payment, $4.4 million, was for online advertising.

GOP Congresswoman Blamed Wildfires on Secret Jewish Space Laser

Axios has a small squib about “The Mischief Makers,” a handful of idiosyncratic congressional backbenchers who make trouble for their respective party leadership. The leading Democratic mischief-maker is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who advocates some left-wing views I consider simplistic and impractical and, in some cases, poll badly. The top example of a conservative mischief-maker, presented in perfect symmetry, is Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Greene’s views are just a bit more controversial. They include, but are by no means limited to, the following:

• The QAnon conspiracy theory, which holds that Donald Trump is secretly fighting a worldwide child-sex-slavery ring that was supposed to culminate in the mass arrest of his political opposition, is “worth listening to.”

• Muslims don’t belong in government.

• 9/11 was an inside job.

• Shootings at Parkland, Sandy Hook, and Las Vegas were staged.

• “Zionist supremacists” are secretly masterminding Muslim immigration to Europe in a scheme to outbreed white people.

• Leading Democratic officials should be executed.

The most recent Greene view to be unearthed comes via Eric Hananoki. Just over two years ago, Greene suggested in a Facebook post that wildfires in California were not natural. Forests don’t just catch fire, you know. Rather, the blazes had been started by PG&E, in conjunction with the Rothschilds, using a space laser, in order to clear room for a high-speed rail project.

Lindsey Graham Warns Democrats Against Calling Witnesses In Trump Impeachment Trial
 

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) cautioned Democrats against calling witnesses to testify in the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump for incitement of his supporters’ deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Graham told Fox News’ Trey Gowdy on Monday that a “Pandora’s box” and “a can of worms” would be opened if just one witness was brought forward in the Senate trial of Trump, set to begin next week.

The House last month impeached Trump over the violence that left five people dead. 

Graham, a former fierce critic of Trump who after the 2016 election became one of his most loyal defenders, warned that calling witnesses could mean a months long trial “and that would be bad for the country.” Graham and other Republicans have argued it is time to “move on” from the insurrection for the good of the U.S.

“If you open up that can of worms (by calling witnesses), we’ll want the FBI to come in and tell us about how people actually pre-planned these attacks and what happened with the security footprint at the Capitol,” the South Carolina Republican continued, parroting a right-wing talking point that the attack was planned well before Trump urged his supporters at a pre-riot rally to march to the Capitol.

It's funny that the Republicans still think they are in control, they wont convict Trump but every Republican that votes not to convict Trump will have their name associated with an attempt to overthrow the government that will be stamped onto their forehead for the rest of their political career and beyond.

This is one of Trump new lawyers, last ones left because they wanted to much money, so apparently the public doesn't needs to see Trump's and his enablers juicing up the crowd because Trump is a peaceful man.

 

 

Don't look at evidence or call witnesses, it will make it harder to justify letting him off the hook!

Well at least that's consistent with the MAGAts- refuse to look at the evidence, but believe wild theories that have zero basis. At this point, they don't even want or care about the truth or facts.

They really hate when people vote because when people are allowed to vote, they vote them out. 

The GOP is racist organization.
