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.

Strike 1 for Meadows wanting his case to go to Federal Court, now for the appeal.

The defendants in the Goergia vote scandal are likely aware that they have no real defence. Their strategy, like Trump, is to delay, delay, delay until after the next US election in the hope that Trump or another GOP president will overturn or commute their convictions before they do a lot of time.

Problem is that the President of the day cannot do anything in terms of pardons for state crimes, there only hope would be a panel of board members appointed by the Governor to pardon them if convicted in Georgia.

Agreed, but deals van be made between federal and state governments where the state government is esstially bribed.

Thanks for the reminder of why I’m not a fan of human beings.

Well I guess thanks for taking one for the team.

Trump doesn't give a **** about anyone that supports him or does his bidding, once he is done with them he discards them like trash, all his co conspirators and anyone else who has been charged with him will find this out in the years to come.

The truth about Trump has been obvious for decades. Aside from everything else, just on a personal level, he is every pejorative  you can name.

devoid of any kind of charisma.

The eagerness of people to destroy themselves for Trump, is hard to understand. 
 

But worthless lazy unskilled people do seem to somehow sometimes thrive.

More than that I think.

2 of Trumps biggest bootlickers are MTG and Gas Pedal, MTG thinks she is VP material and GS thinks he is AG material both are delusional and the worst of the worst. There place on the discard pile is coming.

Those who worship Trump habour a desire to do as they want to, free of all restraint and consequence. It is a fantasy but fantasies can be powerful motivators. Someonce said thet he was in favour of living in a dictatorship, so long as he was the dictator. There have always been those among us who feel failures in their lives and need to believe and be reminded that it has to be someone else's fault.
