  Nothing that cops have access to his secret, all they do is brag about every single morsel of power they have LOL.

    they once searched my car when i was a new driver and i was so nervous about getting rodney kinged. they were so proud when they showed me the empty liquor bottles and a couple .22lr rounds left over from ages. They wanted to charge me with something so bad. it was written across their faces and behaviour. all because of an out of state license plate.

    Yep Obama did jackshit when Snowden came out under his administration and told us all that the US was spying on all Americans.

    Fuck Democrats and Republicans are fine with this unconstitutional bullshit. Especially Biden who voted for the Patriot Act and the Iraq War.

      He even wrote the precursor to the Patriot act which it was based off of and bragged about it.

      Voted for the Patriot Act? That mother fucker wrote it. When he first wrote it during Reagan’s Presidency it was too far to the right for even Reagan.

    You do understand that if we don’t get the lesser evil we get the more evil right? It’s not like if discourage voting enough we default to a communist leader.

      There are no varying degrees of evil when the outcome is all the same.

    I can’t until some liberal tells me I should have voted harder for something that is continued endlessly under all forms of politics.

    I can’t vote harder to a CEO who has no legal requirements to store this data, but does so anyways.

    I can’t vote harder to the police of my area or state, or the FBI.

    I can’t vote harder to a president who does not give a shit about any citizens, just “slightly not as racist or as horrible of a rapist, but blue”. Especially when “constitutional lawyer” Obama started the DAS, didn’t do anything when exposed via Snowden but want him arrested for exposing the truth, and Trump and Biden did nothing.

      Sorry to interrupt, but CEOs may have data retention laws to follow, depending on the industry. It’s easier for many companies just to save everything, usually. Do they exploit that data? Yeah, unfortunately. CEOs can be blamed for a lot, but not for rules they may have to follow. You can blame them for shitty security over that data they have to retain. That’s a thing! (AI companies are the ones you need to look at now as they are the ones that want everything.)

      To tweak your point a little, you have no voting power over people who are put in charge of government regulatory bodies who create those rules, for example.

      Carry on…

      Oh I’m sorry I’m a realist that understands that we have to play the hand we’re dealt.

      Feel free to offer a realistic alternative. My ears over here are open.
