It's certainly thought-provoking.

Should non-compliance be a crime if there is no victim and you are not putting anyone else in danger, though? And even if it is, should the police have the 'special power' to threaten your life (and potentially end it) for a victimless crime? Breaking a rule somebody wrote on a piece of paper should not make your right to life worthless, but it does in the eyes of the "law."

As far as things with Trump, I'm Canadian and I don't pay attention to it much. It's not that it's not shoved in my face at every turn just like everyone else experiences, even up here, though. It all just seems like it's being used as a distraction. Politicians are slimy, lying, deceitful people. There is plenty of proof throughout history to support this. Maybe some aren't, but there is absolutely no way you get to any high-level position like that without lying and misdirecting people at every turn. They're just gangsters who pretend they aren't. If they don't lie, steal, and cheat to get to the top, they'll just be lied to, stolen from, and cheated by all the politicians around them and won't stand a chance. If I was a politician being investigated, I'd be trying to delay it as much as possible as well. There's no telling what other things they'd find to use and there will always be something when dealing with politicians if you look deep enough. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
