Ah, thank goodness for the other 2 branches...

 

Why is there no info that he was talking about arresting MS-13 gang members in this article?

 

 

It is linked at the end of the article: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/watch-live-trump-trumpet-ms-13-crackdown-long-island/

 

But given the President is endorsing police brutality, clearly PBS believed it deserved a separate article.

[HoonDing]

 

 

“Our guys are rougher than their guys,” he bragged.

 

we know, Donald, we know

[213374U]

Oh yes those brutal police not placing their hands on the fragile little snowflake heads of MS-13 gang members, those bastards.

Ah. So police brutality is acceptable depending on context?

 

Hilarious because especially in the case of hardened gangbangers, violence does absolutely nothing to deter them. Those guys are willing to go up against los zetas without batting an eyelash. You think hitting their heads on police cars or being roughed up a bit by cops while "resisting arrest" is going to accomplish anything, other than possibly a bunch of lawsuits that taxpayers have to pick up the tab for?

 

Nah. It's only internet badasses like you that fear police brutality, when you just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

And they can't rough up innocent people they arrest or people that aren't violent offenders. In theory anyway, pretty sure the soldato do what they want.

 

The cops applauding that is one reason that kid playing NWA at the cop's funeral was a good thing.

Brutalizing criminals turns them into victims and ends up distracting the whole process of justice. Law enforcement should not dole out punishment.

[Volourn]

Policer thuggery is never acceptable. The police should be better than the thugs they arrest let alone   beating up on the accused or the arrested is not a good diea since it is supposed to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. EPIC FAIL

The quickest way to fix the ACA is to force Congress to have to buy it. They exempted themselves from it back in 2010. As they usually do, after all "All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others."

Yep. By standing up to MS-13 ai'm soooo weak and you are soooo strong by giving in to them and defending them. You are the hero of the nation.

I'm sure MS-13 is soooo scared of a guy standing up to them in a forum they will never read.

When half of the congress consist of millionaires, I don't think that is that big initiative 

 

And I am not sure if exempted is right term to use but they aren't full participants either at least according to this snopes post

http://www.snopes.com/members-congress-health-care/

 

"Prior to the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (also known as ACA, or Obamacare), members of Congress received the same healthcare insurance benefits as any other federal employee through the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, or FEHBP.

During the mark-up of the ACA bill, however, lawmakers inserted a provision (Section 1312(d)(3)(D)) that requires members of Congress and designated congressional staff members to obtain their health insurance through ACA exchanges rather than continue to receive their healthcare coverage through the FEHBP.

As of 1 January 2014, Members of Congress (MOC) and Congressional staff purchase their insurance through the District of Columbia’s small business health options program (SHOP) exchange, also known as DC Health Link. Contrary to popular belief, Congressional members do not receive free health care. As it does for other federal employees who purchase their insurance through the FEHBP, the federal government provides a subsidy equivalent to 72 percent of the weighted average of all FEHBP premiums.

Therefore, MOC and staff pay approximately 28 percent of their annual healthcare premiums through pre-tax payroll deductions.

Although DC’s SHOP offers a total of 57 different ACA insurance plans at the bronze, silver, gold and platinum levels, the Office of Personnel Management has ruled that MOC and staff may only receive the employer contribution if they purchase insurance at the gold tier. If we look solely at the District of Columbia’s SHOP health plans and federal employer contributions, Members of Congress receive benefits very similar to those enjoyed by any employee of a large company.

The bottom line is this: Members of Congress and their staff members are required by law to purchase their health insurance through the exchanges offered by the Affordable Care Act. However, the federal government subsidizes approximately 72 percent of the premium cost."

Actually, you'd be surprised how many people are willing to wait for a payoff and how little it matters if the goods are defective. The customer will complain but that is why products are sold to retailers and not directly to the customer and on the case of a niche product you could easily pack up and start again. It is real easy to scam people and turn it into a business, all you need is the right pedigree and the right connections.

List out how you are effectively standing up to MS-13. Also, saying Trump's statement was garbage in no way means one is siding with MS-13. Only cop bootlicks make arguments along those lines.

[Hurlshort]

But if you disagree with Trump (or Sharp_One), you are clearly defending MS-13. That is how you win arguments in this day and age!

You... you mean that acting tough on the internets isn't enough?

 

brb need to rethink my life

[Guard Dog]

BTW Malcador, you were right it seems. This whole trans ban thing was all Trump's idea, not a reccomendation from the JCS. Apparently he felt there was not enough chaos in his administration and had to stir up some more. 

 

Like I've been saying for 9 months now... don't blame me I voted for Johnson.

[Gfted1]

Lets think of the bright side. In 3 more months, theres only 36 more months of Trump. /highfive

[Bartimaeus]

Uh...plus the other ~3 months that you're missing, yes.

What if he gets reelected?

[Gorgon]

nahh, they have definitely had enough. 

[Gorgon]

I mean, try to imagine him even more senile. 

[Guard Dog]

No, a Trump re-election is not unrealisitc. There are pleny of flawed Democrats who could go in there is completely screw this up. And if they didn't they would be in office and we would be no better off. 

 

This two party system we have become stuck in is quckly becoming a binary death trap. Who was the last major party nominee that was not seriously flawed? George HW Bush? And going back to 2008 & 2012. Had McCain or Romney won their elections does anyone really think they would have done anything different than Obama did? Two tribes fighting tooth and nail because each want's "their" chief to be the one to do what either will do. 

 

And the tragedy of it is we are only stuck with it because we think we are. 3rd party candidates only lose because people think they are wasting their vote. If enough people decide enough is enough those votes won't be wasted, they will change things.

I'm predicting Trump holds on in 2020, the dems are too busy wanking over the radical centre to figure out why they lost in 2016. With only a little more than half the electorate showing up to vote in 2016, I feel safe in saying "abstain" will win the popular vote.
