    Well, Santa may not have been gassed, but the government was! And he said he would be proud to do it!

    Yeah, Yeah, j gray. BSABSVR….

    Oh. By the way, here’s a little bit of light reading for you.

    “Asset forfeiture is a process by which the federal government of the United States may seize, without compensation, any privately-owned real or personal property that facilitated or was otherwise involved in the commission of certain types of criminal activities.

    The government may initiate forfeiture proceedings in either civil or criminal court depending on the underlying violation, and civil and criminal forfeitures are governed by distinct sets of statutory rules.

    While asset forfeiture is commonly thought of as applying to personal property, such as a vehicle used to illegally transport narcotics, this article will discuss its application to real property.

    Consider the high-profile seizure of the midtown-Manhattan skyscraper at 650 Fifth Avenue: in what is being called the largest terrorism-related civil forfeiture in U.S. history, the federal government seized the billion-dollar property after a jury concluded that its owners had violated monetary sanctions against Iran and had engaged in money laundering schemes."

    Any chance Obama might run into this anytime soon?

    I thought I’d seen the peak of Trump hysteria but it would appear that Mr. Stantis has found one more level.

    Yikes. Trump tear-gassed thousands of immigrants , but I never thought he’d be evil enough to tear-gas Santa!

    It’s making it clear that the NeverTrumper “Libertarians” are really Democrats in disguise, existing only to siphon off Republican voters. That’s the intention of all the HateTrump lies…

    Libertarians are fine with Trump. YOu’d know that if you studied instead of that mess in your mind. What is hateful is that Trump lies and people like you believe it.

    Scott, I can understand how you would be shocked at Trump’s decision to gas children.

    .

    But SURPRISED? Neither Trump’s critics, nor his Disciples are the least bit surprised.

    His morals are absolutely no greater than his courage, except that bone spurs are not involved.
