Listened to it. It was interesting. He said some reassuring things. His daughter is hot.
That's about all I got from it.
Thanks for linking to it, anyway.

Trump on 60 Minutes
|
I watched it..
There is nothing there that suprized me. But at the same time I took the time to research him and his positions... Everything he said was on his website. He has not changed anything. He said that he was not going to start out with a special prosecutor as his primary focus was the list of things (again on the web site) that would be done in the first 100 days of his presidency. There is a great divide between what trump says he will do and the media's perception of how this will all take place. For instance the wall. Mexico will pay for it. But the narrative or idea the media is pushing is there will be a big check or truck loads of money from mexico all up front. Now I am not saying trump won't use this to his negotiating advantage to back out of any money owed mexico or won't use this to call some other bail out we are doing for them over.. What I am saying is he will more than likly kill two birds with one stone. In that he will renegotiate or repeal the North American Free Trade Agreement/NAFTA as he said he would by putting a tariff tax on all good manufactured in mexico, which will generate revenue (he said something like 35% to Ford) which will close down many plants and drive them back here. That is how mexico will pay for the wall. In tax and lost revenue, not some publishers clearing house check. Like it or not trump is a smart business man and know how to craft a deal. He is distracting everyone with a crazy proposal while he gets his ducks in a row inorder to take what he really wants. That's how negotiation on this level works. In the end, We get a wall, "A Yuge Beautiful wall," and Mexico will have ultimately paid for it, even if the government refuses to write a check. Even thought it is not what the people expect... That is what he means about the generals being morons... They put out there what they are going to do and follow everyone's perception on how they are going to do it. 
Anyone surprised the Democrat end of the swamp is going to get drained first ??
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

It seems like "unbiased" has come to mean "Stuff that's reported in a way that comports with what I already believe." I think the internet has destroyed, or nearly destroyed the ability to disseminate information objectively. Human beings, for the most part, don't seem disciplined enough as whole to be willing to accept information that contradicts what they already believe (see religion). So if you don't like the way an event is reported, just root around a little bit and you'll find what you're looking for. Then you can always be right about everything. What's sad is that accurate information does exist in abundance because of the internet, but dumbed-down, view-affirming horseshit is also readily available. Reality just can't compete with that.

Drich is still holding on to his wall fantasy, lol. Buddy, you got screwed.
No wall, no deportations. No muslim ban, no locking hillary up, no repeal of obamacare, no putting the gays back in their place. Cabinet positions are filling up with establishment operators, so no change to the status quo either, but..I guess, you got an alt right "chief strategist"...so there's your silver lining. Too bad he hates you on principle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7knIi3LGf4M
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
So, Drich, what is Trump going to do differently to avoid the pitfalls that sunk Bush's wall? Are you okay with the fact that he will have to appropriate private citizens' property?
