Yup. Takes me back to my point about Trump from the beginning. He is the the highest authority in the most powerful branch. He could make hundreds if not thousands of meaningful changes with a stroke of the pen. No reason to "make a deal" or even delay in doing things like reducing the scope of NSA collection, or reducing US involvement in these conflicts abroad.

Of course everyone agreed the POTUS had this unilateral power from 2009-2016. Now, of course, the situation is much more nuanced....


You didn't see the list? There's at least 59 things on it that he's "done" already.

Just because you don't mind living in a surveillance state doesnt mean all of us will.

At what point did you decide to stop defending the constitution?

How many NSA threads did you create before 2016?

My feelings about our technical collections are complicated. I think most are more fearful about the evolution of technology and what it means for our capabilities than they are about how it's actually employed. The government has rules and safeguards. They aren't perfectly failsafe, but they are designed to prevent the unnecessary and unauthorized collection and retention of US persons' information. My comments in this thread were generally tongue-in-cheek, though I do think most people's concerns are overblown.
