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.

Yeah, ****** Carlson is taking it a step further and asking his viewers to act... its kind of scary actually, he is now testing his audience and how far they are willing to go for him...

 

 

I'm waiting for the lawsuits . Some anti masker is going to attack masked people because good ole Tucker said he should. Seriously the guy is demented. Child abuse is equated with mask wearing ? It's offensive to see someone wear a mask ? It's a statement on the condition of the U.S. that he is allowed to flap his gums like that.

the big three have already spewed what they say can't be held responsible because they are not journalists but rather are offering opinions and until something goes through the courts they will continue with the rhetoric because there is a big segment of Americas that lap up every wood that comes out of these bozos pie holes

A couple of weeks ago in the US, a guy in Home Depot was told to put a mask on or leave and he hit the security guard in the head with a hammer. So, shooting people is just one small step further.

Louisiana GOP lawmaker schooled on House floor after insisting students should learn about the 'good' of slavery
   
A Louisiana state representative was quickly corrected after he suggested schools teach about the "good of slavery." Subsequently, he also became a laughing stock on the House floor.

On Tuesday, April 27, Rep. Ray Garofalo (R-La.) spoke out in support of the proposed education bill he sponsored. In reference to including the history of slavery in Louisiana schools curriculum, Garofalo said, "If you're having a discussion on, whatever the case may be, on slavery, then you can talk about everything dealing with slavery, the good the bad the ugly."

However, one of his Republican colleagues quickly set the record straight. Rep. Stephanie Hilferty (R-La.) made it clear that "There's no good to slavery though."

A clip of their exchange was shared by the Louisiana Democratic Party via Twitter. With the video, the political party tweeted, "The low point of session undoubtedly came today when Rep. Ray Garofalo said Louisiana schools need to teach the good of slavery."

NY Post Reporter Resigns, Says She Was ‘Ordered’ To Write False Kamala Harris Story

A New York Post reporter said Tuesday she had resigned after being ordered to write a false story that claimed migrant children were being given copies of a book authored by Vice President Kamala Harris in “welcome kits.”

The story, published last Friday, set off a days-long misinformation cycle among Republican leaders and on conservative media. The Washington Post debunked the claims Tuesday, demonstrating that the article appeared to be based entirely on one image of a single copy of Harris’ 2019 children’s book that was propped on a bed at a Long Beach, California shelter.

Feds Search Rudy Giuliani’s Manhattan Apartment, Seize Electronic Devices

NEW YORK (AP) — Federal investigators executed search warrants Wednesday morning at the Manhattan home and office of Rudy Giuliani, former President Donald Trump’s attorney, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.

The former New York City mayor has been under investigation for several years over his business dealings in Ukraine. Details of the searches were not immediately available, but it comes as the Justice Department continues its investigation into the former New York City mayor and staunch Trump ally.

Investigators executed warrants at Giuliani’s home on Madison Avenue and his office on Park Avenue and seized electronic devices, a person familiar with the investigation told the AP.

The officials could not discuss the investigation publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. News of the search was first reported by The New York Times.

The federal probe into Giuliani’s overseas and business dealings stalled last year because of a dispute over investigative tactics as Trump unsuccessfully sought reelection, and amid Giuliani’s prominent role in subsequently disputing the results of the contest on Trump’s behalf.

The full scope of the investigation is unclear, but it at least partly involves the Ukraine dealings, law enforcement officials have told the AP.

wonder if or when this stuff filters back to Donald Trump.

Rudy didnt get a pardon.

theres also the trump possible money laundering mess.

We are probably going to see a steady stream of these sorts of things over the coming months as those who survived in the Department of Justice despite having a conscience and commitment to justice start opening up their notebooks and following up on all the crap that has been going on during the Reign of Error.

Rudy didn't get a pardon.

Rudy did not complete his mission to overturn the election and exonerate Trump, and billed the hell out of Trump as well (will probably never get paid), so the lack of pardon on Trump's part is cold revenge.

Trump has been identified as a malignant narcissist and he certainly presents as such. He is all about gathering sycophants, seeing self in grandiose terms and punishing anyone/everyone who does not worship and obey him. 

uh...that's not really better

Devin Nunes is caught up in Giuliani’s 'Russian mob' scandal: Trump impeachment prosecutor
   
Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) has exposure in Rudy Giulian's legal scandal, according to former prosecutor Daniel Goldman, who served as majority counsel in Donald Trump's first impeachment trial.

Goldman offered his analysis after The New York Times reported that FBI agents also executed a search warrant at the home of Giuliani ally Victoria Toensing.

"This makes sense because, during the Ukraine impeachment investigation, we obtained draft retainer agreements between a Ukrainian official and Toensing and diGenova that Giuliani brokered," Goldman tweeted.

Podcast host Eric Garland noticed Goldman's analysis and added his summary of the situation.

"UM. SO GIULIANI AND TOENSING AND DIGENOVA WERE SIMULTANEOUSLY UNREGISTERED AGENTS OF UKRAINE *WHILE ON THE PAYROLL OF RUSSIAN MOB BOSS DMITRO FIRTASH* - while working for Trump. When he was President. And they all were conspiring with Russian intelligence," he wrote.

"Correct," Goldman said.

"And don't forget Devin Nunes and his sidekick Derek Harvey were involved too," he added.
