Trump Signs Surveillance Extension Into Law (thehill.com)
President Trump took to Twitter this afternoon to announce that he has signed a six-year renewal of a powerful government surveillance tool. "Just signed 702 Bill to authorize foreign intelligence collection," Trump tweeted. "This is NOT the same FISA law that was so wrongly abused during the election. I will always do the right thing for our country and put the safety of the American people first!" The Hill reports: Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which the Senate voted to renew with a few small tweaks this week, allows the U.S. to spy on foreigners overseas. The intelligence community says the program is a critical tool in identifying and disrupting terror plots. But the broader surveillance law, which governs U.S. spying on foreigners, has become politically entangled with the controversy over the federal investigation into Trump's campaign and Russia. Some Republicans have claimed that the FBI inappropriately obtained a politically motivated FISA warrant to spy on Trump during the transition and on Friday, Capitol Hill was consumed with speculation about a four-page memo produced by House Intelligence Committee Republicans that some GOP lawmakers hinted contained evidence of such wrongdoing.
We must maintain vigilance at all times as any qualified infosec professional knows. We also must harden the perimeter (the wall) and ensure that threats havenâ(TM)t reached into our environment.
How's that swamp draining going dotards?
Don't want to get unmasked by a FISA Warrant...Don't talk to spies and international mobsters....
"I will always do the right thing for our country and put the safety of the American people first" Unless its an Obama era legislation or something he does not agree with.
Boobs, too. OK, not pussies. He grabs those. And who can blame him? Oh, right, the wifey. Who, by the way, is showing some age. Time to trade her in.

Are people really dumb enough to believe this? It’s just as bad as it ever was and still allows warrantless surveillance with pretty much non-existent oversight.
If the Trump supporters all come out to reelect Trump in 2021, I will be one very happy person.

So you and your sister will be making another baby that night behind the trailer?
That's draining the swamp for you. Obama and Shrub did the same, so it's surprising really, considering Twitler is best known for undoing anything and everything Obama did.
UNINSTALL!
Anons need not reply. Questions end with a question mark.
Why is the bed behind the trailer, instead of inside the trailer?

ayup. They can vote for him in 2019 and 2021. I support that.
he signs for its renewal. Abuse of power is in the hands of the beholder.
Duh, and it will be used against all non-incumbent/appointed successor presidential candidates from now until it is revoked.
The only other option is a bunch of feds and Hillary campaign workers (same people) go to prison, even then...

Wins the election (as stupid as that was), yet goes ON AND ON AND ON AD NAUSEUM about the goddamned motherfucking thing, Clinton, and whatever else! Hey Trump, why don't you just SHUT YOUR FUCKING HOLE and TRY to learn how to run a country without being the total fucking JACKASS that you usually are? Can you fucking take this shit SERIOUSLY for ONE FUCKING DAY? Or are you really so fucking IMMATURE and UNDISCIPLINED that you can't even manage THAT!? Just blow up the whole fucking White House, once he leaves it, it won't be fit for human habitation anymore, he'll have SHIT all over it so goddamned much, we'll just have to build a new one anyway. Assuming there's a country LEFT when he's done fucking it over.

""This is NOT the same FISA law that was so wrongly abused during the election."
Yes. It is literally the same FISA law. Perhaps it was amended to remove the worst parts? No, it is exactly the same, warts and all.

These stupid fucks have so much data it's useless, like most of the personnel of three-letter government agencies.
No evidence no charges, just bullshit conspiracy theories. Fucking hopeless Wumpus, you moron.
Plenty of evidence, with the FBI director publicly stating she got no charges because of who she is.

"Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act authorizes the Intelligence Community to target the communications of non-U.S. persons located outside the United States for foreign intelligence purposes"
This activity doesn't and shouldn't require a warrant.
According to the actual text of the bill:
"the current and future ability of the
14 United States to obtain, on a compulsory or
15 voluntary basis, assistance from telecommuni-
16 cations providers or other entities; and"
Warrants ARE required to be approved by the FISC to engage in this activity
Neither party wants to give up power, news at 11. Technically I suppose they could believe it would be better under them. That is, that they would curb abuses, but I don't actually believe that. The Republicans can abuse it right now. The Democrats hope to abuse it in 3 years.
Neither party's rationale makes any sense here, honestly. We end up with what, exactly?
Democrats: Trump is Putin's puppet, that's why we're letting him keep these powerful spying powers.
Republicans: Obama abused this law for 8 years, we can do better!
Of course there's the alternative conspiracy theory that both sides are controlled by our intelligence agencies and anyone who goes against them will have ops run against them, like suddenly all their past secrets are exposed, or people come up with wild claims from many years ago for random things and create a PR blitz about it.
She got no charges because somewhere north of a quarter million people with secret clearances would need to be charged along with her to be fair. She didn't do anything that many, many haven't done. As opposed to getting away with it because of who she is, the truth is that a big deal was made of it only because of who she is.
Point them out to a country like hong kong or switzerland that better respects people's privacy
its amazing that hes not burst at the seams yet
Since it's all those nasty foreigners making Americans unsafe, the answer is easy: Keep Americans away from the rest of the world.
This uses your definition of safety. One could talk about a country suffering mass murders every week, increasing poverty and homelessness, shrinking healthcare, government agencies giving bad dietary advice/rules, giving the richest people permission to poison the air/soil/waterways; as much less safe than other first-world countries. You as president, Trump, helped create that lack of safety.
Yeah who cares about those other guys?
Eat a dick fascist.
All emails and communications travel routes that place them overseas for a small period of time, allowing all your communications to be spied upon.
I'll quote Pelosi for you:
"We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." -2010
Everybody is for this, so let it go...
“He’s not deformed, he’s just drunk!”
I expect this from a Republican government. That's just the way it is with isolationists. I had hope Obummer would show some initiative and not renew it. Freedom to the people and all that.
Donald Dork claims that Obama spied on him by using FISA to spy on the Russians.
Donald Dork claims that he was not colluding with the Russians.
If Donald Dork was not colluding with the Russians, how could Obama spy on him by spying on the Russians?
Donald Dork is admitting that he colluded with the Russians.

ARFFF!! WTF is a LIBERAL BIAST. Sounds like someones butt coming and going or a weird double sided goatse to me. Very entertaining that another illiterate anon coward in the parents basement posting on slashdot just came up with one of the most humorous spelling spoonerisms I have ever seen on this site! At least it seems that King Orange Twit on Twitter at least has some edjumication and can at least spell... OH wait he might just be using a spell checker and fooling the whole lot of us. Either way I truly hope that deporting all those illegals gets you a chance at a job, I am sure that there will be many new jobs created as 800,000 largely decent people are replaced by the hoards of illiterate angry anon cowards in their parents basements. I will mail you a toilet brush if you like with instructions for use, you will find it invaluable in the new job markets being created by Donald Trump.
Our elected officials from both major parties have never really cared one iota about liberty or the Constitution. Back in 2001 officials from both parties voted for the Patriot Act which included warrentless wiretapping. 6 years later Barack Obama announced to run as president and complained about Bush's wiretapping. His campaign was ran so that people was given the impression he would eliminate such wiretapping. Once elected he expanded it and kept the Iraqi war going. How is Trump any different than any of the other presidents that have chosen to completely disregard the constitution? He will continue to do just as everyone in Washington will. There is no political motivation for either party to eliminate the unconstitutional wiretapping.

A vote against a Libertarian candidate is
a vote to abolish the Constitution itself

... this isn't about Trump... this is now the status quo.
I've decided to stop wasting my time responding to AC trolls/sockpuppets... so if you want a response from me... login.
Trump supporters. You mean all the pregnant Russian Women he is letting come over to have anchor babies?
She didn't do anything that many, many haven't done.
I used to be in the camp that liberalism wasn't a disease, it was just that liberals had unnaturally elevated emotional reactions.
That sad, the more frequent that things like this get stated, the more I realize I was wrong and it truly is a mental disease.
It's unabashed moral apathy.
The fact that any wrong-doing is OK so long as someone else has done it before, it's not only beyond disgusting, it's degenerate.
tRump LOVES government spying...on everyone but himself and his mob allies
