The 2012 and beyond Political Thread - Part 2

The meeting of the Pope and Donald Trump... Divine intervention... Check out Trump's tweet... The Pope also gave him some reading on climate change. ð??ð?» praying for miracles. http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/24/politics/pope-trump-homework/

Trump can't stop intelligence leaks. It's embarrassing the USA cannot be trusted to have important intelligence from other countries because his administration cannot keep their mouths shut.

Heard Last Night That It Is Also Possible To Impeach The Vice President
-
Seems like the NY Times and a few other publications are complicit with the terrorists. A thousand pages of excuses won't be good enough to let them off the hook (my opinion). It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what they did was wrong. It hurt national & worldwide security. If they acted without thinking - that's their problem! The editors should have known better - they are paid enough to carefully think things over.

Trump at NATO embarrassment...pushes like a bully, Prime Minister aside to get to the front, lambasts European leadership, Trump could not even bring himself to utter explicitly that the U.S. supports Article 5 in his remarks at Brussels, which every single U.S. president has done since Harry Truman in 1949. If NATO allies were nervous about the United States' commitment to Europe's security before, they must be fuming now. He seems to prefer the Saudis and the historic weapons deal. May we'll start having beheadings here. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/global-opinions/wp/2017/05/25/trumps-behavior-at-nato-is-a-national-embarrassment/?utm_term=.1ff80bad0fa7 I'm sure he is behind the never before seen, police harassment of ordinary citizens here. They are stopping people right and left...issuing expensive tickets for things like not allowing enough time to change lanes on the highway, not using your blinker, a light out on your car. Is this happening with all police around the country? Are we turning into a police state? Almost any night, any time, I can see 3 cars pulled over by 6 police cars in a 3 mile stretch of road. Hear that the same thing is happening in the next township over. Am not going to the pub again!! Even tho I have only 1 drink. It is very scary.

I'm sure you've already read this, but check this out:

The United States has been a police state for a long time. We can't blame O?b?a?m?a? Trump. American police can detain anyone, anywhere at anytime for any or no reason. Eventually, they have to charge you with a crime or let you go, but they can arrest you for no reason at all.

I've lived many years in a nice middle class community with good schools. We have an influx of wealthy people from NY every summer, because of the beaches here. I have seen this type of police harassment in a town nearby, it has gangs, much higher unemployment, it's known as the place to go for drugs, and other nefarious activities associated with cities. Usually, the type of police activity I was referring to is seen there and probably warranted. It has now moved to the bedroom communities, where most likely, the only infractions are the people who forget to use their blinker, or may be caught on the phone. These law abiding people are being treated like they are the criminals who have prior records for gang related or drug activity!! That is a problem.. when people who go about their life working, paying taxes, keeping their houses and lawns tidy and are law abiding citizens, are now being handcuffed, searched, and disrespected. The police have this information in their onboard computers. It's inexcusable. Most likely they are gearing up for the wealthy summer visitors, and going to buy a new fleet of cars and a swat tank with the proceeds. I'm sure in the long run, it will hurt business.

Yes, I got stopped the other night just for slowing down a bit, apparently...I wasn't that familiar w/ that stretch of the road and it was a lot darker at night, should have been better lit, I was checking it out where I was going and the cop stopped me and made me pull off down the road in a parking lot. I told him I was completely sober, hadn't drank in many years (well, not to get drunk), that's the first thing I said LOL, I was nervous. Next time I'll put my brights on at night at that particular area and keep to the right and what not . They need to have a street light there. Cops in this region are famed for being over the top hard ass and super macho and all that, are probably trigger happy as hell, a lot of 'em. Yes, it's felt rather like a "police state" here for a very long time. But despite that (and all the churches !) still have a pretty high crime rate. In fact, some call this county "the arm pit of the South" ops:

Just drove up from Long Beach Island. Took the back roads because the Parkway was bumper to bumper. Saw lots of cars pulled over, including a police motorcycle stopped a car. it wasn't like that last year. Makes me want to move!!

Donald Trump has done more to sanctify inappropriate behavior, than any president ever, including the knifing deaths on the train the encouraging of the harassment of individuals who he threw out of his rally's. There are numerous examples. The whole world is aware of it...only Ostrich Fox News seems to have it's head buried in Melania's nude photos... Ask Bill O'Reilley... Watch as the President embarrasses himself...pushing aside a Prime Minister to get to the front of the pack and puff up like a rooster. LOL very typical... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/25/donald-trump-shoves-fellow-nato-leader-montenegro-pm-aside/ "Police Chiefs Say Trump's Law Enforcement Priorities Are Out of Step" from this Febuary. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/25/donald-trump-shoves-fellow-nato-leader-montenegro-pm-aside/ https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/12/us/police-chiefs-trump-law-enforcement-priorities.html?_r=0 This was in the works as early as last November "Trump may empower local police to round up immigrants" https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2016/11/23/donald-trump-deputize-local-police-immigration-enforcement/94249654/ April 2017 "Trump wants local police to step up and enforce federal immigration laws" http://www.immigrationnewswire.com/trump-wants-local-police-to-step-up-and-enforce-federal-immigration-laws/ There have been indications we are headed in this direction for a while now. I really wonder if there were so many Trump voters, why didn't they show up to the Inauguration? Idaho would not be the state I would use for this example...

Right Wing Nut Jobs are responsible for all these hate crimes, and leaders and conservative media people who incite this behavior with their prejudice and inflammatory rhetoric should be held accountable.

Hawaii has enacted laws to back up the Paris accord. I hope my state and other states follow suit. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/336869-hawaii-enacts-laws-aimed-at-upholding-paris-accord Looking at this map of Earth, at night... You can clearly see that the US uses far more energy than any other country. China and Russia, which are also size able countries, clearly use less energy...so logically, we need to put in the highest amount of money on climate change. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f1tV0e_GMtI/T6flqfBdiuI/AAAAAAAAAZs/Gpduu0TIbJ4/s1600/Earth+at+Night.jpg

Gloriously sensible thoughts, love2travel. Too bad that neither Trump nor Congress has any use for sense or common decency. Sad!
