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.

Cruz should just at this point just  shut up he is just digging a bigger hole with his stupid excuses, he thinks that he and his family are better than the common folk which is pretty typical for a politician

 

I think AOC is more popular in Tx than ted cruz- nobody likes ted cruz.

You know you've hit rock bottom when Louie ******* Gohmert is successfully dunking on you...

 

 

This is an oldy but one I think of when Cruz is in the media...

“If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you,” Lindsay Graham.

 

Everyone hates him but they hate his opponents more. He goes after libs, so they vote for him. It doesn't matter if he's a low life and bound to kick your dog when you're not looking, he hates libs.

This is good news. I think Porter will fit nicely in this role. Finally, someone to try and hold these people accountable:

 

 

Katie Porter is the kind of person who would be awesome in any government role, but this is a fine appointment.

At this point is there anyone who likes Cruz and what make him think he has any hope of becoming a presidential candidate.

Ted Cruz and Lyndsey Graham are perfect illustrations of why Senators election cycles must be shortened. What is it 6 year terms once elected?

If you assume that the best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour,  then the answer is no.

Pennsylvania police officer charged in Capitol riots says he has 'no regrets'
   
A Pennsylvania police officer has been hit with felony charges for his participation in the Capitol riots and now details about his Facebook posts are also coming to light.

According to the HuffPost, Joseph Fischer, a patrolman for the North Cornwall Township Police Department, is facing a string of charges including "obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder, knowingly entering a restricted building without lawful authority, violent entry and conduct on Capitol grounds, and obstruction of justice/Congress."

He was aware that he might lose his job and face consequences from the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). However, Fischer suggested that did not matter to him.

Under a social media account with the handle "SV Spindrift," Fischer posted footage of himself running toward a line of police officers at the Capitol screaming, "Charge!" He also noted that there were four rows of officers and he'd "made it to level two" which suggests he made it beyond two rows of the officers.

‘No regrets’. And there you have it, the problem summed up with these two words. A large portion of America has become radicalized with this nuttery. 

In sociology, we were told that studies show that if as little as 15% of a group is radicalized, this usually results in widespread chaos and violence. America is there and has been for decades.

Florida to fly flags at half-mast for Rush Limbaugh on Ron DeSantis' order.  Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered state entities to honor the late right-wing talk radio host when he is buried

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced on Friday at the Hilton Airport Palm Beach in West Palm Beach that he plans to lower flags at half-mast in honor of the now-deceased conservative radio titan Rush Limbaugh.

According to ABC's WTXL Tallahassee, flags across Florida have been ordered to be lowered when Limbaugh's funeral, the date of which has yet to publicly announced, occurs. Limbaugh, who died of lung cancer at age 70, left behind a $50 million estate in Palm Beach Florida and taped his show just one mile away.

"What we do when there's things of this magnitude," DeSantis said, lamenting Limbaugh's death, "once the date of internment for Rush is announced, we're going to be lowering the flags to half-staff." The pronouncement was met with applause from a mostly maskless audience.
