US Politics

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.

If the Americans re-elect Trump, they will deserve everything they get. Starting to look more and more iffy,, though, thank God.

Mike Lindell claims voting machines took over entire countries
   
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell on Friday brought his personal crusade against voting machines to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), where he uncorked a conspiratorial rant claiming that the voting machines had completely overtaken dozens of foreign countries.

"This is very important you hear me on this," Lindell told the CPAC crowd during his address. "Over 54 countries have now been taken by the machines or are getting taken by the machines! And you never get to go back!"
 
Lindell then listed off some of the countries that had purportedly been overtaken by the malevolent voting machines.

"Venezuela, Australia, they're gone!" he exclaimed. "You don't get to vote out the machines once they're there!"

Despite Lindell's claims, there is no evidence at all that any voting machines flipped votes from former President Donald Trump to President Joe Biden during the 2020 presidential election.

Apparently the right-wing politicians in the US have sat up and taken notice of the Kansas popular vote. They are now saying they will never again let abortion rights or any such thing (like same-sex marriage, contraception availability etc.) go to a public vote. They will impose whatever their diseased moralities say they should rule the masses who they disdain.

The greatest democracy in the world !  ( so they proclaim )

Paul Manafort admits sharing info with the Russians during 2016 Trump campaign
   
In an interview with Business Insider, former Donald Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort admitted he was in contact with the Russians and sharing information during the former president's 2016 presidential run.

For years, questions have been raised about Russian involvement in the campaign that saw the New York businessman beat former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Manafort is now stating that he handed polling data over to the Russians -- in particular to "Konstantin Kilimnik, a longtime business associate with suspected ties to Russian intelligence."

According to the report, "Kilimnik then passed the data on to Russian spies, according to the US Treasury Department, which has characterized the data as 'sensitive information on polling and campaign strategy.'"

In the interview, Manafort excused his actions stating he wasn't looking for help getting Trump elected and did it purely to make money, with Business Insider reporting, "Manafort told Insider that he directed his deputy, Rick Gates, to feed Kilimnik polling data via email to 'keep Konstantin informed.' The goal was to use his access to Trump to drum up business for himself.

"The data that I shared with him was a combination of public information and stuff for the spring that was — it was old," the former Trump, advisor explained.

The report adds, "Manafort said he had no reason to think Kilimnik was spying for Russia and pointed out that Kilimnik had been vetted and cleared by Yanukovych's staff, stating, "None of us believed KK worked for Russian intelligence.

Too late. Four more state-level abortion votes are already scheduled in November, and Michigan will be five once their Secretary of State verifies and approves the petition.

https://ballotpedia.org/2022_abortion-related_ballot_measures

The states are:

California (pro-choice initiative, not a constitutional amendment)

Vermont (constitutional amendment affirming right to "personal reproductive autonomy")

Kentucky ("no right to abortion in our constitution" amendment, very similar to Kansas)

Montana (a "born-alive" law that I don't understand the impact of)

and

Michigan (consitutional amendment affirming right to "reproductive freedom")

Trump probably knew something was going to happen when he said this weekend that he is the most persecuted human in history, Trump is now going to rally the crazies 

Think the Democrats are doing a lot now, and are restoring some confidence that they wont piss away their country.

Marjorie Traitor Greene has started to do her part with this ongoing tantrum on Twitter:

 

Low IQ politicians trying to rule, as for McCarthy he needs to watch what he says, trying to intimidate the AG is not a good look to the general public 

praying hard they can undermine the FBI before they come after the lot of the traitorous bastards. 

Amazing how quickly the right turns on the police. Not surprised, as they are just self serving a-holes.

Sadly, the fools who are rallying to Trump's defence (apart from the fascists in government) are simply cannon fodder to Trump and his cabal, but they are too stoopid to realize it. Kinda reminds me of the line the king in the Shrek movie: "Some of you are going to die but its a sacrifice I'm willing to make". And now multi-millionaire Trump is begging for alms to fund his looming criminal charges defence. Apparently you CAN fool some of the people all of the time.

Apparently another state has decided to provide AR-15s to their schools. Can't recall which one, but I am sure that Remington is ecstatic.
