Whispers of
an Unthinkable Past, Haunting the Now Present
Not so long
ago (before Nov. 8th,
2016—when the world still had hope for a better
future.) no one would have ever believed what is
happening today within the Whitehouse and our American
government could become a reality.
USA as a
participant in the Global Family, we are all responsible
bystanders if Trump and Bannon get away with what they
are out to repeat.
Hmmm, makes
me wonder what will they call their regime of nightmares,
they can’t use Nazi, it’s already been used. thinkingblue
Excerpt:
President Donald Trump offered to
inflict political damage on lawmakers who try to limit
civil asset forfeiture, making a joke about a practice
that has come under serious criticism in recent years
from Democrats and libertarian-minded Republicans.
During a meeting at the White House with
county sheriffs, Trump said he would “destroy”
the career of a Texas state legislator who had proposed
restrictions on seizures of property belonging to
suspected criminals.
More from Bloomberg.com:
“Do you want to give his
name?” Trump asked Rockwall County, Texas, Sheriff Harold
Eavenson after
he complained about the legislator. “We’ll
destroy his career.”
The comment prompted laughter from
participants in the meeting.
Eavenson declined to name the lawmaker
as reporters and camera crews recorded the exchange at a
brief photo session during the meeting. The Dallas
Morning news reported that Texas state senators Konni Burton
, a
Republican, and Juan
“Chuy” Hinojosa , a Democrat, have offered legislation
to require conviction of a crime to seize a
suspect’s property.
Republicans and Democrats in Congress
and in state legislatures have recently pushed
legislation to rein in the long-standing practice of
police seizing the cash and property of suspects who
haven’t been convicted.
