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.

Just in case anyone is wondering Trump is okay with being a dictator all you peasants have to do is vote for him and you will serve him till the day he dies.

"Recently the Brevard County Florida Republican Executive Committee voted to declare the Covid vaccine (all of them) biological weaponsand urge they be banned from the state. The resolution declares “Covid-19 injections are biological and technological weapons” and that “enormous number of humans have died or been permanently disabled.”

As stunning as that may sound, it’s just part of a growing wave. Over half a dozen Florida county GOP officials has passed similar resolutions"

Not even close. I was just talking to my wife about the worldwide heat wave, ( US, EU, China, Japan, Uruguay...) and was telling her that as we slide into this you are going to see a huge amount of stress put on to society. If you buy into Jared Diamonds idea , environmental issues have been the cause of many societal collapses,  wars, genocides.... I don't agree with all his ideas but generally agree with alot of it.

I really hope so....but honestly. How many times just this year has something like this been said? lol.

He may not actually realize it, cause of his experience in life, 

but Trump’s legal problems are real, and very serious.

Absolutely it is jail if he is convicted.

Pretty clear now, they are not kidding around, the decision on him has been made. Even the judiciary appear to be sick of him.

Trumps biggest headache may come in Georgia if they decide to indict him there, the guy is a loser at everything except getting impeached and indicted where his is batting 1000.

I have to admit... I kind of want to see what a US presidential nominee, campaigning from prison looks like. I think I would be fascinated by the logistics that would be involved... not to mention how many people would still vote for him... maybe even elect him... it's like the ultimate freak show- gimme a ******* ticket!

MTG shilling for Biden in a new Biden campaign ad is hilarious.

Trump promotes threatening video: 'We are going to do things to you that have never been done before'

Overnight Donald Trump promoted a video featuring an extreme close-up photo of his face in black and white, and audio of him making an obvious threat: “If you f— around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before.”

Trump “retruthed” the video, posted by an account that appears to belong to a “MAGA” website, on his social media platform Truth Social, sometime after 1 AM.
Trump did originally say those words and did make that threat, but under different circumstances than today’s.

In October of 2020, just weeks before Joe Biden would beat him at the ballot box to become the 46th President of the United States, Trump delivered that screed in an interview with Rush Limbaugh.

he is quite good at doublespeak

His arrogance and stupidity have finally caught up with him. He is the subject of 6 different criminal investigations and further indictments are inevitable. He is desperately trying to avoid prosecution by saying that a) no sitting president has ever been charged with a criminal offence (not true) and b) that he should not be charged because he is running for office and going to trial would interfere with an election.

Trump is now reduced to whining on Faux News that jailing him would be "very dangerous" for the country. Nice of him to think of the welfare of others.

Very dangerous because I told my cultists to be violent. Lock him up and let his followers **** around and find out.

Not as easy as one might think. The police forces and military are well populated with right-wing sympathizers as was demonstrated by the number of these charged in the January 6th coup attempt. Moreover, during his term in office Trump appointed as many sympathizers to judicial posts as he could, adding to those appointed by Bush2. The GOP has been very busy at the school board, municipal and state levels.

Like a nasty STD he's hard to get rid of.
