“We are going to do something that I will say is slightly controversial but it shouldn’t be. We are going to indemnify policemen and precincts and states and cities from being sued. We want them to do their job. Our police and law enforcement has to come back and they want to come back and they want to do their job. And we are going to indemnify them so they don’t lose their wife, their family, their pension, and their job. We are going to indemnify policemen and law enforcement. We are going to tell them to get out, we love you, do your job.” – Trump, speaking last night at the New York Young Republicans Club gala.

    I’m going to be living overseas for family reasons for the next several years. I’m starting to wonder if I’ll even have a country to come back to.

      I’ll put $10 on you not wanting to come back after having tasted actual freedom in just about any other actually developed nation.

        Fuck, I lived in Israel for a year during the Second Intifada, when bus bombs and marketplace bombs and nightclub bombs were slaughtering civilians left and right, and when I came back, 9/11 happened and I stopped being able to get healthcare under my parents. If you could get over the nerves of being blown up, Israel was a paradise. I’ll never forget how a pharmacist looked at me like I was crazy when I tried to pay for a drug prescription.
