Trump plays "Stump the Chumps" and wins again. It's clear that those who conduct the business are better tuned in then those who in the conference room strategizing. This is exactly why Trump keeps winning and the left keeps whining!

LTC Marc King - I'm sorry that you think so little of your oath that you would state that people do not have rights. Anyone in the United States has rights, whether citizen, legal immigrant, or illegal immigrant. My oath was binding, when I was enlisted, when I was an officer, when I was a police officer, and now as a lawyer and officer of the court.
Second, you don't break up gangs by abusing them, beating them, or tuning them up. That just causes escalation and more violence. You beat them by being smarter than they are, by using the law to put them in prison and to seize ill-gotten gains. When you tune them up, you end up with the miscreants being released, because their rights were violated. Third, an officer who gets caught abusing a suspect, if he doesn't lose his job will be worthless as a witness, meaning that anyone he arrests in the future will walk too.
So yeah, you can encourage violent acts by the police against suspects. You can be part of the reason that the problem gets worse, where the suspects get a pass because you think it's a good idea for the police to abuse them. Or you can insist on good police work, where the officers arrest them and are able to put them away.

You can think what you want misguided as it might be but don't you ever question my loyalty to my oath to the constitution RAMF! I have fought in combat for this country and you don't get the right to question my loyalty or position. It's your wimpy attitude that has gotten us in the fix to begin with. Now I'm done with you.

LTC Marc King - I'll question whatever I decide I want to question, and if your own statements of "fuck them they have no rights" accurately reflect your position, then I'll point out that is in direct conflict with your oath.
If you don't like that, too bad.

And Captain I will tell you to take your law degree, roll it into a tight tube and shove it up your a**! What is to bad is that we have service members like you who want to challenge the honorable service of other service members because they hold an opposing point of view ... and that Captain is what is to bad. I'll put my service record up against your anytime. And while your at it get a shave.

Sooner or later the President will realize the left has no sense of humor and the MSM will use his humor against him. Same as Republican presidents in the past.

Yawn. Seems that his sarcasm about not being to gentle with MS13 is being taken too literally. Not surprising. He is not allowed to say anything tongue in cheek. Obama could play stand up comedian and no objections. He could say "if they bring a knife, you bring a gun". Crickets. You should quit trying so hard to be offended at every turn Greg.
