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.

I had the same thought, but I think the accidental part was saying out loud that she had had an abortion.

The way I interpreted (speculated) this was she feels she was fed misinformation about abortion so now that she knows the evils of it she can say she accidently had one based on being hoodwinked.

Except she was raised a religious nutter. She knew. They just like to make rules for others.

No argument from me. Just speculating what goes on inside a knuckle dragging head to rationalize away their absurdness.

She has also been bedridden, but no one is talking about that.

"An increase in shortages of inexpensive yet critical medications is forcing hospitals to make “horrible” choices and is amounting to a national security threat, according to a report and testimony at a Senate homeland security hearing on Wednesday.

A report prepared for the hearing found that drug shortages increased by nearly 30 percent last year compared with 2021, with an average shortage lasting 18 months and some spanning 15 years. They include common antibiotics, anesthetics and sterile fluids used to keep intravenous drug tubes clean.

Dr. Shuman, who holds leadership roles at the University of Michigan hospital system and the Veterans Affairs Ann Arbor Healthcare System, said one cheap and established cancer drug called etoposide was recently in scarce supply. He had to weigh which patients, young and old, with lung, brain and testicular cancer, should receive the limited number of doses.

“As a doctor who has devoted my life to fighting cancer, it’s hard to express how horrible that is,” Dr. Shuman said.

The hospital pharmacist managed to stretch the supply on hand, but “our pharmacists should not be desperately trying to squeeze out a few last drops when a life may be on the line,” Dr. Shuman said."

The problems were pegged to economic drivers, an opaque supply chain "

 

yeah yeah, that's it, the supply chain, thats what it is, yeah yeah.

 

Keep the greedy heartless American hands off of our healthcare system. and  also those of their local reps the ucp/conservative party, who would gladly bring this brutality to canadians in exchange for a few dollars

america is the only western country that does not have a drug price review board.

Has anybody thought of enrolling MTG in a civics 101 class so she can realize what a waste it is to keep drawing up articles of impeachment that will never pass the House?

I'd enroll her in 'Don't be a dumb *****' seminar...but civics could work also.

And three FBI agents and one supervisor have been suspended for colluding with Jan. 6 rioters, being at the Capitol that day as part of the crowd or reporting to the Trump organization. They are also accused of providing privileged information to, among others, the Jim Jeffries committee.

I am properly chastised.

MTG is the queen of projection as she claims she is threatened by the aggressive actions by a Dem Congressman Bowman, in case you forgot she harassed Parkland survivor David Hogg a teenager at the time and then stalked AOC in the halls of the Capitol.

'You pay the price': Nikki Haley denounces Jan. 6 during Iowa visit

Republican 2024 hopeful and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley made an opposing view against former President Donald Trump clear Thursday by denouncing the Jan. 6 insurrection, NBC News reports.

During CNN's town hall with the former president earlier this month, Trump continued to push the 2020 election fraud lies that ultimately led to the attack, and vowed to pardon rioters found guilty.
According to NBC, the former governor was asked during an Ankeny, Iowa town hall event about "how she could ensure a 'fair and speedy' trial for those charged over their alleged actions on Jan. 6."

Haley replied, "It was not a beautiful day, it was a terrible day, and we don't ever want that to happen again. I don't know enough about each individual [rioter] but that's my rule: If you break the law, you pay the price. And so I think that's the way we need to look at it."

NBC notes soon after the insurrection took place "Haley said the former president's 'actions since Election Day will be judged harshly by history,' telling "Politico in January 2021 'he went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn't have followed him, and we shouldn't have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again."
