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 suggests Clinton campaign staffers should be put to death — and demands 'reparations'
   
Former president Donald Trump issued a statement Saturday suggesting that unnamed members of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign staff should be put to death.

“The latest pleading from Special Counsel Robert Durham provides indisputable evidence that my campaign and presidency were spied on by operatives paid by the Hillary Clinton Campaign in an effort to develop a completely fabricated connection to Russia,” Trump said in the statement from his Save America PAC. “This is a scandal far greater in scope and magnitude than Watergate and those who were involved in and knew about this spying operation should be subject to criminal prosecution. In a stronger period of time in our country, this crime would have been punishable by death. In addition, reparations should be paid to those in our country who have been damaged by this.”

‘Alt-Right Armory’ podcast host and father arrested for illegal firearms possession
   
A right-wing activist known for hosting a podcast about firearms along with his 67-year-old father has been arrested on federal charges of illegal possession of firearms, according to federal prosecutors.

Joseph Paul Berger, the 32-year-old host of the podcast “Alt-Right Armory,” was indicted along with his father, Joseph Raymond Berger. Both are from Bethlehem in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and the announcement of their arrest came on Thursday, February 10 from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

Business Insider’s Kelsey Vlamis quotes William S. Walker, an acting special agent for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, as saying, “This father-and-son duo possessed a small armory of firearms in their home, including more than a dozen machine guns and silencers. This type of fire-power is incredibly dangerous if in the wrong hands.”

The indictment, according to Vlamis, alleged that the Bergers illegally possessed 13 fully automatic machine guns and 12 silencers.

Melania Trump's 'high teas' under investigation in Florida

What is it with the Trumps and "charities" anyways?
Ok, rhetorical question, I suppose......

 

Steve Schmidt@SteveSchmidtSES13/ They hate “freedom” they can’t control, therefore they despise American Liberty and specifically its modern notion which is that at long last, freedom means freedom for everyone. That is what we are fighting about. Should we lose, the music stops. For a very long time.

 

I adore that line 'They hate "freedom" they can't control', they being knuckle dragging lazy thinking self entitled human beings that only relate to other human beings that look, feel and talk like them.

Trump filing fraudulent tax returns to Federal and states for over 20 years and sending fraudulent information to Mazzars to cover his crimes.....

The fact that Mazars has come out and, not only publicly dumping Trump but also no longer vouching for his financial statements, is a huge move. In the world of accounting, this is a big deal. Also, the IRS, who pretty much need an entire team to untangle his web of lies already, will be under increased pressure to finish his audits. Then, they'll probably need to do more.

I would think that Mazars will be falling all over themselves to provide the IRS will everything they could possibly want. Anything to avoid being implicated.

America's popularity among democracies has been low and sinking for a couple of decades now as evidenced by the reduced number of people from those countries wanting to visit or move there.
