Thoughts and opinions?

All a bit too corrupt if you ask me.

 

Too be honest, I think many of his policies are rather corrupt. One thing I can commend him for, however, is that he is quite the genius for tricking America to vote for him.

 

The way that this bill is cleverly worded DOES include American Citizens on US soil, i had a 2 hour conversation with my Political Science Professor, and CIA's ex head of Anti-Terrorism Christopher Whitcomb. Both of them agree that even though it is stated it doesnt apply directly to Americans, it contradicts itself to indirectly include American's later in the article. There should be no mistaking that this does include us. Not only that, it gives the government the right to revoke our citizenship at their discretion, so if they want it to apply to you badly enough, and avoid the politcal shitstorm, they can revoke your citizenship and label you a terrorist.

 

How on earth does he get away with that?

 

He has alot of power ^

 

Wherever there's a Bill, there's going to be corrupt politicians persuading other members of the same party to pass it for their own personal gain and power. That's now politics works these days, didn't you know?

 

Yes, I saw that part. That's not what disturbs me the most. What really gets under my skin is that he says he has the constitutional right to hunt terrorists as he sees fit.

What constitution is this crazy muslim reading?

With lots of money comes great power. With great power comes great corruption.

 

Its worth noting that the measures in there have been in practice since 2001 and approved by the courts since 2004
