If you are not arguing just to be contrary you have no clue what you are saying!
What, you mean like you do when you rabbit on about Australia? Funny that.
Quote:Communities increase their income by having their Police issue Traffic Citations. Most will claim there is not a quota system but they depend on that revenue as part of their budgets. The Officers or Deputies will park and wait for an opportunity to do their part for their employer. Every time they have ticketed me I was driving at least ten miles over the posted speed limit.
So, you admit that you were breaking the law and still complain about cited for breaking the law when caught, breaking the law? You obviously have no respect for the Rule of Law. Tsk, tsk.
Quote: I've never been caught driving impaired or been held responsible for an accident.
So, now you admit you drive when impaired (Drunk/Stoned, I assume?). You're a danger on the roads.
Quote:As I have posted before how you act when pulled over has everything to do with how things turn out.
Everyone who has done traffic stops will tell you that Black people regularly freak out when pulled over. They are very animated and have trouble following instructions They immediately start claiming racism even though the Police probably didn't know who was in the vehicle.
Except for when they choose to shoot them and hope they'll get away with it. Tsk, tsk.
Quote:Witnesses don't cooperate for fear of reprisals by the friends or family of the shooters, not some distrust of the Police. They usually have to stay in the neighborhood and don't want any trouble.
Perhaps the Police need to provide witness protection? Oh, of course, not, they're blacks and don't deserve that, do they, Mort? Tsk, tsk.
Quote:Obama was an absolute failure as a servant of the American people, his time in office is best described as "Image over Substance". If the Press, Hollywood and both Political Parties held him to the same standard as Trump he would have been gone in the first few months.
Lets see what he achieved while he was in office shall we?
He extracted the US from the war in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq. Two wars which cost hundreds of American lives and millions of Iraqi and Afghani lives.
He extracted the US from the worst recession it had seen in living memory. He saved the US auto industry. He saved the US steel industry.
He created Obamacare, which meant that ~30 million uninsured Americans receive medial insurance.
He passed Wall Street Reform: Signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (2010) to re-regulate the financial sector after its practices caused the Great Recession.

And what has President Trump accomplished?
He's been implicated in the Russian Hacking Scandal. He has attempted to ban refugees from seven Islamic nations from coming to the US. He has repealed Obamacare, exposing ~30 million Americans to being uninsured for medical care. He has deported several thousands of illegal Mexican immigrants.
Tell me when Trump actually doesn't something worthwhile, OK?
