And notice that an investigation is going on. If things were really that bad, there wouldn't be one. What's most surprising is where this happened - North Miami. They're supposed to be fairly sensible down there. An officer fires a shot and he doesn't know why? Great weapons training. :dunce:

Washington Post Runs UNPRECEDENTED Full Page Editorial On The Dangers Of A Trump Presidency

 

 

The Washington Post ran a full-page ad today, one day after Donald Trump accepted the Republican nomination for president of the United States, spelling out in prolific and profound prose the dangers of a Trump presidency. It was an amazing piece of writing.

 

The piece hit on many topics: Trump’s playing on the racist and xenophobic undercurrent in GOP voter stances, his debilitating lack of experience or willingness to listen and learn, his wildly dangerous and improbable solutions to all the wrong problems, and his complete ignorance about the constitution.

 

The article cannot be printed here in its entirety, but here are some of the highlights.

‘Donald J. Trump, until now a Republican problem, this week became a challenge the nation must confront and overcome. The real estate tycoon is uniquely unqualified to serve as president, in experience and temperament. He is mounting a campaign of snarl and sneer, not substance. To the extent he has views, they are wrong in their diagnosis of America’s problems and dangerous in their proposed solutions. Mr. Trump’s politics of denigration and division could strain the bonds that have held a diverse nation together. His contempt for constitutional norms might reveal the nation’s two-century-old experiment in checks and balances to be more fragile than we knew […]

 

‘There is nothing on Mr. Trump’s résumé to suggest he could function successfully in Washington. He was staked in the family business by a well-to-do father and has pursued a career marked by some real estate successes, some failures and
of saving his own hide while harming people who trusted him. Given his continuing refusal to release his
, breaking with a long bipartisan tradition, it is only reasonable to assume there are aspects of his record even more discreditable than what we know.

 

‘Given his ignorance, it is perhaps not surprising that Mr. Trump offers no coherence when it comes to policy. In years past, he supported

; as candidate, he became a
of all three. Even in the course of the campaign, he has flip-flopped on issues such as whether

‘What the candidate does offer is a series of prejudices and gut feelings, most of them erroneous. Allies are

‘Mr. Trump campaigns by insult and denigration, insinuation and wild accusation: Ted Cruz’s father was involved in the
of President John F. Kennedy; Hillary Clinton may be
; Mr. Obama is a traitor who
. The Republican Party has moved the lunatic fringe onto center stage, with discourse that renders impossible the kind of substantive debate upon which any civil democracy depends […]

 

‘The party’s failure of judgment leaves the nation’s future where it belongs, in the hands of voters. Many Americans do not like either candidate this year . We have
the presumptive Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton,
the
and will do so again when warranted. But we do not believe that she (or the Libertarian and Green party candidates, for that matter) represents a threat to the Constitution. Mr. Trump is a unique and present danger.’

It is stunning to think what one must be willing to overlook in order to vote for this man.

 

The only way to stop this danger from becoming a reality is to vote in November. Vote for whichever candidate most aligns with your values, but vote. The future of our country depends on it.

Sort of like giving a 10 year old the keys to the family car. :p

Why wouldn't Jeff Begzos, the third richest man in the world, want Trump to be President? Particularly, if Trump does cut the tax rate, as he has promised to do. There's really only one question voters have to ask themselves before voting for either Hillary or the Donald; who would be better equipped to nominate 3-4 Supreme Court Justices over the next 8 years? The actual governing over the next 8 years is going to see a lot of gridlock, with not much getting done.
