governor green shouldn't tuck in his shirts.
But yeah, hope Pam Bondi and her DOJ is successful so I can watch all the people above posing with governor "should not tuck in his shirts" green turn their smiles UPSIDE DOWN.
Fair enough, but the alternative of putting them in prison for repeated violations of criminal traffic laws (since fines aren't stopping people like this) would also cause them the loss of their job. Granted they will still have housing of course but locking this person up still causes much of the same hardships which you cite as your opposition to forfeiture.
I am pretty familiar with forfeiture and I have some qualms with it generally but I also recognize it as a tool to combat crime. It isn't a guaranteed solution but no solution is guaranteed aside from being locked up. I think taking their car is a lesser punishment than locking them up for an extended period of time.
As to your alternative suggestion I do like your out of the box thinking there.
My thoughts:
I have often pushed back against claims by the left that the president is a dangerous authoritarian by arguing that yes he is flexing the power of his position but painting him as a dangerous dictator is hyperbole. These statements by Trump make it hard to maintain that position anymore. Suggesting a political opponent be killed for not only speech clearly protected by the 1st amendment but a statement that is completely in line with existing military rules is wandering into tyrannical government territory and that is not something any president of the USA should even flirt with or joke about.
If Trump continues down this path, the next bullet flying at his head is going to be justifiable (the first one wasn't).
