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.

Ammon Bundy: God Told Me to Go To My Arraignment

Sarah Miller | Idaho Statesman
Militia leader Ammon Bundy said he was considering fleeing Idaho, but God told him to go to court—conveniently in time for an arraignment that, if skipped, could have led to his arrest.

Bundy, a right-wing figure who rose to fame in a pair of armed standoffs against law enforcement, is facing two lawsuits from St. Luke’s Health System. The Idaho-based hospital group says Bundy and his activist organization, the People’s Rights network (PRN), defamed doctors by falsely accusing them of child trafficking. Bundy did not participate in the defamation lawsuit, and was ordered to pay $26 million after he lost a default ruling this summer. St. Luke’s sued Bundy a second time this month, accusing him of hiding assets to avoid paying the default.

Trump supreme court:

 

“The Biden administration on Tuesday lifted protections from pollution for millions of acres of wetlands, three months after the Supreme Court found that it lacked the authority to regulate them.

In May, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government can no longer control discharges into wetlands near bodies of water unless they have “a continuous surface connection” to those waters.

That effectively made thousands of wetlands and waterways off limits to any government pollution controls because they do not connect directly to larger bodies of water.”

 

nyt.

Definitely not a fan of the guy, but there's something incredibly sad about seeing that.

They talk about Biden and sure he has his problems, but this guy doesn't know what planet he is on. Americans needs to start getting rid of old out of touch senile fuddy duddy

Perfect example of emotions fighting with one another.

On the one hand the amount of pain and suffering over the years he has caused certain groups of people directly and/or indirectly is enormous.

On the other hand, there are people close to him who really love and adore him that I would never want to give a hard time to.

It's almost enough to make one believe in karma.

The aide playing it off as reporters needing to speak up is what gets me... she knows, everyone knows something is wrong and they keep shoving him up there infront of the cameras. Pretty soon he'll be wearing shades while security puppeteers his limbs, Weekend at Mitch's style

have no love for Mitch McConnell's politics -- his cynical manipulation of the Supreme Court and his cowardice at impeaching Trump over 1/6 means that Trump is going to ratfuck every federal election while he still lives.

but, empathy for a human who seems to be suffering cognitive decline.

McConnell crowing about being the Grim Reaper while not letting Obama have his pick and then pushing through RBG's replacement before her body was even cold is all you need to know about a person he is. It's time for him and all of the old entitled trough eaters to be put out to pasture most have exceeded their best before date.

Good luck getting any money awarded to the ladies that were defamed by Rudy Coludy he is flat broke, as for Navarro his big mouth and stupidity is going to bite him in the ass when his trial starts next week, Judge rules no executive immunity for the guy who went on television and told everyone they were planning a coup and how they were going to do it.

Not sure….. it will be explained over the next few days. But they will figure out a way to prevent any regulation, state or federal.

also... wetlands do not conform to boundaries. so it makes no sense to have them regulated by states. basically not possible.

 it is on record, In their speeches, decisions, and opinions, that these hard right creeps are opposed to any kind of regulation of corporate activity.  Koch brothers love them probably.

last June “(Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on Thursday to block the Environmental Protection Agencyfrom regulating greenhouse gas emissions is likely to put a big chill on rulemaking by other federal agencies.”

Did McConnell ever feel any kind of sympathy that we are aware of? With his  power, has he helped a single person? 

Low life of the first rank.

I have zero sympathy for him.

Revealed: Jeffrey Epstein set up meetings with Trump allies before 2016 election

Four years have passed since wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein, facing federal sex trafficking charges involving minors, was found dead in a Manhattan jail cell. A medical examiner ruled that Epstein, on August 10, 2019, had died from suicide by hanging.

Epstein, who was 66 when he died, associated with a lot of famous people. According to the Wall Street Journal, Epstein set up meetings with some of Donald Trump's supporters before the 2016 presidential election.
Those supporters included Thomas Barrack and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel (a major donor to MAGA Republicans), WSJ journalists Khadeeja Safdar and David Benoit (not to be confused with the jazz musician) report.

Another was the late Vitaly Churkin, who was Russia's ambassador to the United Nations at the time.

Forbes reporter Sara Dorn, in a separate article on Epstein, notes, "The New York Times reported in May that e-mails from Epstein's assistant show he planned to meet with Thiel at least three times in 2014, but the paper did not confirm whether the meetings occurred and Thiel declined to comment at the time."

Trump Campaign Official Urged Cops To Hang Themselves During Jan. 6 Riot: Report

Dylan Quattrucci was confirmed by NBC News as the Trump 2024 official ranting against police on video on the night of the insurrection.

A man who is now an official for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign was caught on video urging police to kill themselves near the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, NBC News reported Thursday.

Dylan Quattrucci, the deputy state director of Trump’s campaign in New Hampshire, made the obscenity-laced rant after Trump loyalists stormed the building to interrupt the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory.
“If you are a police officer and you are going to abide by unconstitutional bullshit, I want you to do me a favor right now and go hang yourself, because you’re a piece of ****,” Dylan Quattrucci said in the clip, shared by the Sedition Hunters on X last month. “Go **** yourself.”

Quattrucci’s identity was confirmed to NBC by two people familiar with him.

That man is single-handedly responsible for so much of the average American getting ****** over... the state of the SCOTUS... women's rights, and so on... 

The amount of needless suffering and inequality on his shoulders... 

I feel no pity.

And because he has said he will not replace Dianne Feinstein on the Judiciary Committee if she retires (so Biden can't appoint anymore judges) she can't retire either.

Mitch will be in rip thread soon 

 

Everyone associated with Trump including the Orange Buffoon is a liar, so far they keep getting away with the lies that they spew until now as they release the transcripts countering all the lies.
