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.

Taylor-Green is a typical GOPer and will suffer no repercussions- she will likely be praised.

While the main stream media thinks they are doing their job but actually are propping her up as a renegade instead of calling her antics out as a buffoonery, absurd and dumb.

What's more disconcerting than this behaviorally challenged child caught in an adult body is this type of energy she regularly exudes is supported, mimicked, embraced, explained away, rationalized and/or tolerated by millions of Americans and gobs of people worldwide.

The context of this is brilliant. Biden accused some Republicans of wanting to scrap social security and Medicare, which elicited boos and the calls of “liar” from the gallery by the GOP, notably MTG. So he says “ I’m glad to see [that’s not the case] then. I enjoy conversion (nice dig at the transgender-phobes there). So now that we all apparently agree that social security and Medicare are off the books….” And the GOP got played with a Jedi mind trick from “the senile senior President”  and McCarthy was compelled to lead a standing ovation  in response to Joe’s words.

Because the driving impetus behind media coverage is sensationalism 

The gong show in the US (and in the Canadian PC party to an extent) is aimed at the lowest common denominator of intelligence. Poilievre, Boebert, Taylor-Green, Gaetz and so forth are adored for saying what the worst of their followers are thinking and thus validate what their diseased minds believe.                     All this would be hilarious if these troglodytes weren't holding the levers of power,

House Republican Twitter Hearing Was A Complete Flop

Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) warned former Twitter employees that they would be arrested for rigging the 2020 election as the hearing flailed and failed.

Higgins said, “You, ladies and gentlemen, interfered with the 2020 election knowingly and willingly. That’s bad news. It’s going to get worse, because this is the investigation part. Later comes the arrest part. Your attorneys are familiar with that. Mr. Chairman, I’d like to spend five hours with these ladies and gentlemen on depositions that are yet to come.”

As Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) explained, the former Twitter employees were in a private company, and their actions were protected by the First Amendment. Twitter can decide what content it publishes and which users it allows on its platform. The employees committed no crime.

There will be no depositions or criminal trials.

Sounds like Rick Scott got his feelings hurt when Biden made him look like an idiot so he would like Biden to resign, maybe if he closes his eyes and clicks his heels it will happen. Apparently dummies don't like to be proven to be dummies.

Biden is waaay too late to make Rick Scott look like an idiot. In that respect, he is a self-made man.

Wish we had an “angry” emoji. The leaps of logic the Government will go to justify avoiding any type of gun legislation is staggering. 

Kari Lake, an excerpt taken from an interview with Piers Morgan, :

"I'm fighting for the people of Arizona," Lake said. "In Arizona, I can't walk 10 feet without an Arizonan saying, 'I voted for you, everybody I know voted for you, our ballot was rejected on Election Day, please keep fighting for us.'"

Yup gotcha, thanks Kari, obviously case closed , your Honour we submit this statement into official court record as clear and factual evidence with 100% merit and validity to prove this election was stolen from Kari Lake.

Mike Pence will have to ask Mother if he should obey a subpoena brought forth by special counsel Jack Smith

“Pretty much the last step”: Legal experts say subpoena shows special counsel closing in on Trump

Special counsel Jack Smith issued a subpoena to former Vice President Mike Pence after months of negotiations in a sign that the investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol is nearing its "climax," according to legal experts.

Smith, who is overseeing Justice Department probes into former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago documents scandal and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, requested testimony and documents from Pence related to Trump's failed effort to overturn his election, ABC News and other outlets reported on Thursday.

The subpoena followed months of negotiations between prosecutors and Pence's attorneys, according to the report. The move suggests that the probe is entering a "more advanced stage," ABC News reported, but it's not clear whether Pence may try to use executive privilege claims to fight the subpoena, which could set off a lengthy legal battle.

Former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti predicted that Pence will "testify one way or another"
