95k is it anything similar to Obummer and his press restrictions...nothing to see here correct?? Originally Posted by bb1961Bb is exactly correct.

Trump's handlers made the right choice, for three reasons,
1. The Donald has problems controlling his narcissism. You put him in front of shooting victims and their families and if he starts talking about himself it doesn't look good.
2. The press is going to criticize any President. Trump has it worse, because some outlets like MSNBC and CNN are going to take any small real or imaginary gaffe and blow it out of proportion. I'm not sure whether this is because of the reporters' biases or because it sells commercials. Probably both.
3. Undoubtedly some of the victims and their families have fallen hook, line and sinker for the fiction that Trump was practically the one pulling the trigger, because of his positions on immigration. Having him go up against an angry father or mother would not make a pretty picture.
As to eccieuser's old posts, I applaud him. I enjoyed the N girl review. "Negro" didn't use a be a bad word. Listen to some of Martin Luther King's speeches. But the politically correct hijacked it like they have so many things. This was a forerunner to the pronouns that some in the LGBT community insist on using. If you call someone "he" or "she" now you're homophobic or trans-phobic or whatever.
And look, I don't visit AMP's, and I don't speak Chinese or Korean. I've never had a girlfriend who worked in an AMP. So I have no idea whether trafficking is occurring. I strongly suspect this issue is way overblown though. It's interesting that these AMP busts never result in convictions for trafficking. The USA Today article eccieuser linked to says the two women who massaged Kraft are being prosecuted for felony prostitution. How does that square with them being trafficked?
In any event though, I want to hear all views. I like to watch interviews with Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Even though I believe they're dead wrong about every domestic policy issue, and dangerous, knowing their viewpoints is important because we may be living in an America ruled by them someday. Same with accusations about trafficking. This view that some have, including many in law enforcement, is important for us to know about.
