Some of us have been abused for decades, based on lies, misrepresentation and self-serving criminals posing as noble agents. No criminal records, just agent provocateurs, abusers and trumped up dossiers . I'm sure the U.S police on this forum scoff at the possibility that the "good guys" could ever be the bad guys. That's because the U.S has civil liberties and police don't have jobs for life there.
Regardless of the case against Trump, this is why some of us are unwavering supporters of civil liberties, due process and transparency. It's why I have blown the whistle on abuses against me and the creepy covert methods the TPS and other police agencies use in Canada. It is all for CYA. It's also why we warned you against becoming like Canada, abuses of power is the end result. Except for CSIS, the U.S and others can't trust ANY police force in Canada.
I recall Trump making a joke in a speech to new FBI grads, suggesting that when they bring in a seriously bad perp they might "accidentally" hit his head on the cop car door. They laughed, being young and excited in their new careers, meeting a president and all.
A former FBI agent on CNN was livid though, rightfully speaking out that "this isn't how the FBI operates" and he was generally perturbed that Trump would say such a joke to naive new grads. He even scolded the new recruits. I agreed with him, as a forces reputation is everything, especially a world renowned agency.
I recall Don Jr, mocking those who went to prison with funny memes and speaking out viciously against them. I recall Trump himself calling for the death penalty for drug dealers a la the Philippines approach. Maybe in the case of willingly poisoning and spiking something, but it is a broad and extreme statement to make in general, no? Especially after he pardoned some dealers.
Ultimately, Trump will get through this and will benefit politically I'm sure. Certainly his fundraising efforts will receive a boost. Will he and some of the most hardened followers turn over a new leaf? Be a little more curious about methods and abuses instead of assuming the facts are what the "good guys say they are"?
Some of Trumps policies were needed and I supported his battle to maintain Americas global pole position. He can't listen to the Echo Chamber though, which kicking him off of Twitter ensured he would be limited to. He now has his own social media company and his most loyal supporters will be there, touting the same opinions. At least on Twitter he had balanced responses.
