Section 309 of H. R. 4681 just solidified NSA data collection and no one noticed.

19. Evil motherfuckers seldom comes the day without some outrage. I wonder what is snuck over the plate

that we don't know about. The hits keep coming and coming from every direction.

Revelations aren't magic pixie dust, if idiots circle their wagons to protect corrupted power and the corrupt close ranks, are protecting each other, and they relentlessly keep going for another bite of the apple with enough useful idiots from both parties undermining and supporting the destruction of our rights because of cowardice and standing by their man then it is not going to go well with reining in said corruption.

You snarky little editorial is not a part of the solution, revealers whether they got rich or not or locked up while vile torturers and spooks walk free aren't putting these provisions in over and over to undercut the constitution.

Is it like a compulsion to kill the messengers? You know the implications and know it is wrong here yet the attack is not for those who write, insert, support, and vote for the provisions but for whistleblowers? Why? It just seems insane when the people with the power are beyond compromised and work relentlessly to undo that which they swear to uphold and defend.

We aren't stupid virtually every communication is encrypted nor do we know what all laws are because some fuckwits believe there can be such a thing as secret laws and secret courts in a democratic republic and we see that the red line of "terror" is ever blurred until now we are at "reasonable suspicion of any crime" which leaves little functional room for the 4th and one can reasonably assume the 1st right along with it.

These efforts are treason, revealing them and increasing awareness of them is real patriotism so I think you for your service even as I condemn your strange snark while going about it. Strange to find a way to be part of the problem and the solution to the same problem at once.
