House Passes Bill To Renew NSA Internet Spying Tool (reuters.com)
Dustin Volz, reporting for Reuters: The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday passed a bill to renew the National Security Agency's warrantless internet surveillance program, overcoming objections from privacy advocates and confusion prompted by morning tweets from President Donald Trump that initially questioned the spying tool. The legislation, which passed 256-164 and split party lines, is the culmination of a yearslong debate in Congress on the proper scope of U.S. intelligence collection -- one fueled by the 2013 disclosures of classified surveillance secrets by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. Senior Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives had urged cancellation of the vote after Trump appeared to cast doubt on the merits of the program, but Republicans forged ahead.
So how did this person you liberals like to describe get elected? You describe him as the dumbest man in the world and yet he out smarted all of the liberal media with ease. You self righteous liberals call everyone who voted for him a racist because it's easy to throw that word around without evidence which says a lot about the accuser. He trolled the media for 2 years and now you believe every word that is said? sigh.
BTW i am an ex-liberal during the campaign i saw what Trump was saying vs what the media was saying he said and i thought why are they doing this? For 2 fucking years the media lied completely about what he was saying WHY? Is it noble for liberals to lie?
Was it fear because he was not chosen by the ruling class and the country might have the first president that wasn't in a long time? I don't like how he behaves but what makes any one think Hillary would be a great leader?
The most corrupt and most hated candidate with a laundry list of scandals is the best choice of president because she is a female that's it?
Where was this demand for a female leader when Obama was chosen while Hillary was leading the democratic party by a significant margin?
People on the left treated Obama's rise like it was a miracle it wasn't it was CASH, money swings elections in America effortlessly. Your hatred for Trump grew because he was not spending hundreds of millions dollars from unknown donors like Hillary did because he is the stupidest man on earth?
If the Left took time to look at what Trump did and not just what he was accused of there is reason not see him as an enemy and a fool.
He destroyed Jeb Bush and the usual republican candidates (against the left's constant predictions the Trump was finished) The christian right one of the left's biggest opponents had no candidate because of Trump and were silenced for a change.
Despite your lies Trump was always anti-war Hillary wanted war with Russia and the Republicans had a list of countries they wanted war with.
It seems to me the Left just wants to keep America on a downward spiral and destroy it because they hate themselves.
