Obama administration collecting your phone records from Verizon

[Lhalo]

More lies from the White House. I'm sure you all are just as surprised as I am.

LOL

[arch stanton]

So which is worse? The president signing off on spying on the leaders of our allies or the NSA doing it without his knowledge? Is there one single thing this administration won't screw up?

[mtangelsfan]

Neither is worse, for me it's just the constant lying and throwing people under the bus.  We spied on folks.  Own up to it, say sorry and move on.  Put your big boy pants on Mr President.  You are the leader of the free world.  Tell them you and the people you trust believed that this type of information collecting helped keep the world safer.  (Of course it's bullshit, but at least it sounds somewhat leader like). 

[arch stanton]

The question was rhetorical but thanks for the input. What I really want is for someone to ask point blank- who authorized the NSA to tap a foreign leader's phone and who listens to the conversations?

[mtangelsfan]

LOL, I knew that, just looking for another soapbox.  I don't think you will ever get a real answer to your question though.

[Tank]

in this day and age, i'm pretty sure we know about the movements of various world leaders 24/7. tapping their phones, however, especially of allies, reaches a new low.

 

it happened on obama's watch, whether he authorized it or not. if didn't, then people need to be fired and possibly prosecuted. if he gave the okay, congress needs to get involved.

 

 

 

 

unless, of course, this was all planned out this way at bohemian grove last july.

Go back and check the video of when Bush was groping her. I'm pretty sure he's planting a bug.

I'm waiting for red and Rob to weigh in on these recent stories from the White House.

[Lhalo]

Apparently we want to know if God is planning an attack too.

File this under "duh", but I'm sure this wouldn't even be discussed if it wasn't for Snowden ratting out the NSA.

the US gov't has gone full retard.

what a bunch of idoits.

[mtangelsfan]

this is....................

 

unsurprising.  A government that thinks it knows best is bound to try to spy.

Not many libs have commented on this topic recently.

We are doomed.

Obama is worse than Bush when it comes to invasion of privacy. The Democratic party is synonymous with fascism. It's time for change.

 

Lol.

I got news for you guys.  The feds don’t stop doing ostensibly illegal shit to Americans based on whether the elephant or the donkey is in charge.

 I'm waiting for rally to find something now where I said something along the lines of "if you don't support free college for all then you're a piece of shit"

Nah, I'm good. We all know it's out there. You and Taylor are the same person.

[UndertheHalo]

My guess is that Taylor’s deal mirrors a lot of American millennials.  Grew up in a white fairly affluent community - thus fairly conservative and reactionary by default and not really based on any actual lived experience or belief - then went and got a job or something was out amongst other people and i mean that’ll do it.  It’s fine.  Pretty typical.

There have been a few factors. Republicans going full [censored] around 2015 is what pushed me over the edge.

At least one thing has remained constant.

You accidentally watched 5 minutes of Anderson Cooper while at an airport bar and caught the lib.
