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.

They already tried in january

This survey shows that what happened in January was not just a few isolated cretins- this was a frighteningly accurate depiction of the mindset of millions of Americans who see no problem with using violence to gain and maintain power. So much for the. worshipping of "freedom"

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson has pardoned Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple who pleaded guilty to misdemeanors for brandishing their guns at a passing crowd of protesters last year. The pardons were among 12 that Parson, a Republican, issued Tuesday. Mark wielded an AR-15-style rifle at the demonstrators, who marched after George Floyd’s murder, and Patricia held a semiautomatic pistol. Mark pleaded guilty to misdemeanor fourth-degree assault and paid a $750 fine, Patricia pled to harassment and a fine of $2,000. Mark McCloskey was defiant in statements following his plea. He said from the courthouse steps, “I’d do it again.”

In the wake of the dustup, Mark announced he would run for Senate.

 

Trump ‘Patriot’ Who Called Jan. 6 The ‘Best Day Ever’ Gets Time Served In Capitol Plea Deal

Karl Dresch will be released from jail under a plea deal.
A judge sentenced an incarcerated supporter of former President Donald Trump to time served under a plea deal in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol attack on Wednesday, telling the Michigan man that he had “placed his trust in someone who repaid that trust by lying to him.”

U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson told Capitol attack defendant Karl Dresch that he was “not a political prisoner” and was in jail because of his actions on Jan. 6. Under a plea deal, Dresch pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count and was sentenced to time served. Dresch faced several counts ― including a felony charge of obstruction of an official proceeding ― that will be dropped as part of the plea deal. He’ll be released from jail Wednesday.

Dresch, who called Jan. 6 the “best day ever,” made his first appearance in federal court on Jan. 20, the day of President Joe Biden’s inauguration. He’s already served more time behind bars that the minimum sentence for his offence.

Cheers dudes. I tip my hat to your consistency if nothing else.

Imagine still being swindled into thinking this dishonest, dimwitted, syphilitic orange pustule is trying to "save Murica" to the point you'd send him money for a crappy card and membership into who the **** knows what.

The Koup Kucks Klan continues to be grifted. But now that he's no longer POTUS at least it's entertaining...?

Not really- it's the logical next leg of his course. He's moving the Overton window to right in trying to normalize authoritarianism. 

That's where the frozen fish dinner heir wants to take this... sees the road laid out by trump, the inability/unwillingness to hold those accountable in subverting democracy and thinks he can be the orban of 'murica.

It's the american dream v2.4

This woman should be removed from office. What an asbolute Qunt.

incidentally, I learned this the qother day, and it explains things a bit

 

wiki

 

"The Q source (also called Q document, Q Gospel, or Q from German: Quelle, meaning "source") is a hypothetical written collection of primarily Jesus' sayings (logia). Q is part of the common material found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke but not in the Gospel of Mark. According to this hypothesis, this material was drawn from the early Church's oral tradition.^[1][2][3]

Along with Marcan priority, Q was hypothesized by 1900, and is one of the foundations of most modern gospel scholarship."

There appears to be a competition in the US as to who can get closest to Nazi  attitudes and incite violence without coming right out and saying it.

Sad to say, this is the "new" America- looks a lot like the old America but with added slime.

Seattle PD Fires Two Cops for Participating in Capitol Riot

-Reuters
The Seattle Police Department has fired two officers for their participation in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Department Chief Adrian Diaz said in a statement Friday that Caitlin and Alexander Everett had breached the public’s trust, calling the attempted insurrection “an attack on our profession and on every officer across the country” and the two officers’ participation “a stain on our department.” He wrote, “The two officers were found to have crossed the outdoor barriers established by the Capitol Police and were directly next to the Capitol Building. Clear evidence places them directly next to the Capitol Building. It is beyond absurd to suggest that they did not know they were in an area where they should not be, amidst what was already a violent, criminal riot.” Diaz said five police officers lost their lives as a result of Jan. 6, making the two Seattle officers’ conduct all the more egregious. The chief extended his apologies to the officers who defended the Capitol on behalf of his department.
