Yep, America is great in spite of it's Presidents, not because. 

You don't think we've had some great presidents that have guided the country through some turbulent times?  Thats a little more than the average level of cynicism.

:golfclap:  We know how these deals end.  He'll end up with millions in campaign donations, write a book, get some talk show gigs, but not be president.  And I don't even think he's a bad guy, he just has no shot.

I wouldn’t say he has no shot. The candidates right now aren’t very strong at all. At the very least he could alter the election by taking votes from both candidates.

Just my gut, I don't think anyone has a shot at beating Trump.  And I've said that for a while.  We'll see.

Let's be real and stipulate the vote will be for VP.

The democrats need every neverTrump vote they can get. Amash will simply siphon those off.

Sure, we've had some good Presidents but much the same as America is great in spite of it's Presidents, America can survive some shitty situations in spite of their Presidents. Obama didn't save America from the Great Recession for example. Anybody could have been President and the economy would have come back eventually.

I remember you losing your shit when people(not me) said Trump had no shot in 2016. Like I said at the time, every candidate has a shot, just to varying degrees. 

No, Amash isn't going to win but some places had Trump at what, 3% chance of winning? So hey, I guess Amash has a shot. :lol:

So the stupid shit you say has an expiration date...doesn't matter anyhow as you have been saying the same stupid shit for years.  :thumbsup:

Losing my shit?  More like laughing my ass off.  And I'm still laughing my ass off at the guys who shit on him day in and day out.  I know the guys far from perfect, but in the big picture, he's the best president we've had in a long time.  I've also been consistent for several years that he'll be re elected easily, because I think there are enough people who get him, and whats wrong with Washington and the media.  I shudder to think what kind of world we'd be living in if Hillary got elected.  I pay zero attention to polls, the last election has proven them to be a farce as well.  Amash doesn't have the recognition, support or backing, and has no shot imo.

he has no shot,  no matter how weak the candidates are a third party candidate only can sway the election to the other big party.  Hell the best third party candidate ever just pushed the Clintons into office which looking back is both the best and worst thing that happened.  Worst because it gave us the Hillamonster,  best because of the last 30 yers of presidents he was the best.

In theory, I have zero problem with this idea but, I can sure see some serious problems cropping up with it.  I may go and read the fine points on it to see but, I’d sure guess some type of “hold harmless” agreement would have to be signed by the purchaser.

Trump signs Collins’ IRS civil asset forfeiture bill

Updated: July 3, 2019, 4:55 p.m.

A bill introduced by U.S. Rep. Doug Collins, R-Gainesville, that aims to prevent abuse of civil asset forfeiture policies has been signed by President Donald Trump.

The Taxpayer First Act includes Collins’ RESPECT Act, which he reintroduced earlier this year. That bill was inspired in part by Andrew Clyde, an Athens gun shop owner. In 2013, the Internal Revenue Service took $950,000 from Clyde’s account. Clyde’s business had been doing well, and he told The Times in 2017 that at the time the money was taken, his store had almost sold out.

Civil asset forfeiture allows governments to seize property they believe someone obtained illegally.

Charges were never brought against Clyde, and he struggled to make ends meet with his business.

 

“I didn’t have any money for payroll,” Clyde said in 2018. “I had to go borrow $80,000 in order to make payroll and to pay some of the accounts payable of the stuff that had started to come in.”

Clyde eventually reached a settlement with the IRS and was able to get $900,000 back. He said that the bill signed by Trump Monday can prevent future misuse of civil asset forfeiture practices.

"In 2015, I and two others who are named in this bill testified in Congress against this abuse by the IRS," Clyde said in a statement. "The RESPECT Act, which passed unanimously this year in both the House and the Senate, is the response of the Congress to those abuses. … It should prevent any other law-abiding citizen from ever suffering the abuse that I suffered. I highly commend Congressman Collins and Congressman Lewis for their parts in helping to make this much needed legislation become law."

At the time his money was taken, Clyde had been accused of “structuring,” or setting up bank deposits in order to avoid reporting to the IRS. Under previous law, the IRS could seize money if individuals had routinely “structured” deposits or withdrawals of less than $10,000.

The RESPECT Act adjusts IRS rules to only allow forfeiture for “structuring” if the money comes from an illegal source or is used to hide illegal activity. Prosecutors will be required to demonstrate probable cause that the seized money was somehow used illegally.

“For too long, hardworking individuals and small business owners — like Andrew Clyde — have fallen victim as the IRS has abused civil asset forfeiture. With the RESPECT Act finally becoming law, law-abiding citizens can rest easy knowing they no longer have to fight the federal government just to prove their innocence,” Collins said in a statement.

The RESPECT Act was co-sponsored by U.S. Rep. John Lewis, a Democrat from Atlanta.
