President Donald Trump offered to inflict political damage on lawmakers who try to limit civil asset forfeiture, making a joke about a practice that has come under serious criticism in recent years from Democrats and libertarian-minded Republicans.

During a meeting at the White House with county sheriffs, Trump said he would “destroy” the career of a Texas state legislator who had proposed restrictions on seizures of property belonging to suspected criminals.

“Do you want to give his name?” Trump asked Rockwall County, Texas, Sheriff Harold Eavenson after he complained about the legislator. “We’ll destroy his career.”

The comment prompted laughter from participants in the meeting.

That's it for tonight. My blood pressure is through the roof at this point. If I die, please charge Trump with manslaughter--at least.

Most disturbing part of the article for me is this: 

"The comment prompted laughter from participants in the meeting."

These are the people working in law enforcement. 

It worries me people take remarks like this lightly. If I was in the presence of a president and he said that I'd be horrified.

Trump literally has done this before though, thats the scary part :gum: 

This reminds me back when he first announced he was running and people were like "He's a good businessman though :poot: and i tried to show people the receipts of him being a literal monster for DECADES :grr: AND IM NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT THE BIRTHER MOVEMENT :giveup: 

 

私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから

God, how I hate 'civil forfeiture'. It's disgusting.
