Leslie Stahl is a moron. They should give interviews like this to actual journalists.

It's likely that they got him to risk laundering money by showing him something equivalent to the pee tapes. Get one lever, use it to get the next lever. It's their playbook.

Yes they are. One would make your avatar shake in his big red boots. (I am a fan of that Big Blue Boy Scout)

This why I love her! She's got more "balls" than any of the men on the other side.

Let's see Nanc follow through, please! I'm tired of the typical good ol' boy Washington "Well, he's gone, so let's put it behind us" way of dealing with crooked politicians. That thinking leads to pardons and future influence in the future. I'm serious. Did anyone ever believe Oliver North could be rehabilitated?

Fortunately, most of them made it pretty damn easy to do so.

I think this is the best thread to say this. I finally heard from a friend that works at the Capitol. She's with the Architect of the Capitol doing cool stuff like preserving the buildings on the Capitol grounds. She's primarily upset about the officers saying she would chat with them during her travels around the campus. And seeing the damage to the buildings she works so hard to preserve. I am happy she is safe. I am so angry that these fuckers were on a mission to kill my fellow feds. Fucking garbage people.

I think they're holding the paper on that billion dollars of debt that's coming due.

Beat? There were a lot of guns in the place that day, and hardly any of them were in the possession of federal law enforcement.

Yeah, I would have loved to see Nancy stop Stahl right there and say "Insurrectionists. Not protesters." Unfortunately, she chose to use the same word herself instead.

All her hard work! Well, at least there is someone who care and will see it fixed properly

Or they just have proof that he's nowhere near as rich as he's been pretending for his entire adult life. I'd believe either of those. Trump has *never* released his tax records.

It reminds me of a prom and an after party I went to when I was senior. I had taken a 10th grader as my "date" because sophomores and freshman needed a junior or senior to take them. (Small school; juniors organized the prom, seniors simply enjoyed it,) We were both in the trumpet section of jazz band and were friends, but not terribly close.

The person who invited us to the after party was the notorious pothead of my senior class. But once we saw her actually start rolling a joint, I realized it wasn't the kind of party I wanted to expose to the innocent little 10th grader I'd brought along, so we quickly left.

It's hard to imagine any dirt on Trump that his MAGAt horde wouldn't brush off as "no big deal."
