Is Trump the " Manchrian Candidate"

[bgreene]

I should take them both fishing on my v21......Trump and McCain......I could just imagine:

Trump - " I'm going to catch the most fish, and the biggest fish, just you watch, it's going to be unbelievable. fantastic, amazing, because I'm a winner, and only losers get skunked"

McCain - " You'll never be a real man until you get skunked.....I've been skunked fishing many times and know what it is to come back without fish to feed my family.

Me - Ok, ok guys, shut up and get in the boat. By the way Donald.....did you happen to bring your wife ? It's ok with me if she joins us......:)

Agreed. They (Trumps administration) has had a couple minor stumbles, a party that controls the media and the teachers in our schools "resisting" him at every turn, a blatantly political court with an 85% overturn rate by the supreme court on their stupid decisions risking the security of all Americans notwithstanding. He's actually doing something that no previous president for a VERY long time has done. He's actually doing what he promised to do while he was campaigning. Bringing jobs back? Check. Extreme vetting of people from terror states? Check. Starting the process for building a wall on the border? Check. Repeal/replace the (un)ACA? Check. Ended funding for any group outside the USA that provides Abortions? Check. Signed a Presidential directive that makes all Federal agencies delete 2 rules (laws) for any new one they put in place? Check. I could go on, but you get the idea. He's actually doing what he said he would do. Even though he was not my first choice (I liked Cruz) I have to admit I like a man that does what he said he was going to do. Because of the way the tax laws are structured in Congress he can't do anything about taxes until the (un)ACA is taken care of, but I'm hopeful that will be done shortly. All in all I give him a solid A so far. Not an A+ because there were some stumbles like I said, and there's always room for improvement, but certainly much better so far than the previous POTUS did in the same period of time in both of his tenures.

He's making some enemies today with conservatives in libertarians. After civil asset forfwiture was nearing it's death, he has said not only will he keep it, but he plans on ramping it up and making it more difficult to get YOUR belongings back after they've been seized. I read about it in a fox news article posted up by none other than Ted Nugent calling Trump out for his remarks about it. Many have lost there lives to blatantly obvious false civil asset forfeiture, and he wants to ramp it up.

I agree that some civil asset cases are so far out as to be unbelievable, and would also point out that they all have occurred under previous administrations. To the best of my knowledge none have taken place yet under President Trumps admin. That being said, understand that it's really a states issue. 12 states have passed laws making it necessary for the police to secure a conviction before they can seize the property. Asset forfeiture has become a great money generating tool for the police, and like anything that makes money for the government, it's subject to abuse by that same government. (Think of how much the cost of a speeding ticket has increased over the years as an example). Unfortunately, the same has become common practice in asset forfeiture cases in far to many states. Reform IS necessary, but the POTUS's remarks last week during the Sheriff's meeting and his appointment of Sen. Session's have done little to hearten opponents to the practice.

I agree, but I doubt that Hillary would do different, we NEED to call our representatives over and over !!
