(154,021 posts)I cannot see the taints, attacks and the rest...thanks to the ignore list.
I know it is happening. In my case I can post the weather report outside my window, and it will generate it...so as you said, some of it is white noise.
Some folks like to avoid the constitutional issue at hand by trying hard to personalize it. Whether it is here in DU or Snowden. All this has also led to another epiphany, I can't talk to partisans (regardless of party). And Americans are cowards, at least a good percentage.
Their fear, they are correct, is that voting will collapse...I almost predict it. And that the eeeevvvviiiilllll republicans are not that scary anymore, or scary enough to force people to vote for lesser evil. In that they are correct.
What should be telling in a meta level (hi NSA, just triggered your dictionary) is that the republicans are still screaming IRS and Bengazi, but dare not touch this...that should be at least a big wtf momemt. Both sides want the tools of a police state and we cannot vote our way out of this.
