This means that, even if Obama did have Trump wiretapped, it was likely due to connections to a foreign power (likely Russia). So "Obama wiretapped me" is another way of saying "I was communicating with Russia."
Of course it only allows surveillance w/o a warrant if the communications are all between foreign powers (A:i) or if under open/exclusive control of a foreign power (A:ii) and explicitly not involving US persons (B). If it doesn't meet those requirements, a warrant is required -- which means a court would have to agree there was probable cause. (I'm pretty sure Trump didn't think this through when he fired off those tweet as, if true, it would implicate himself.)
Chapter 36 of Title 50 of the US Code *War and National Defense", Subchapter 1, Section 1802
(1) Notwithstanding any other law, the President, through the Attorney General, may authorize electronic surveillance without a court order under this subchapter to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year if the Attorney General certifies in writing under oath that—
(A) the electronic surveillance is solely directed at—
(i) the acquisition of the contents of communications transmitted by means of communications used exclusively between or among foreign powers, as defined in section 1801(a)(1), (2), or (3) of this title; or
(ii) the acquisition of technical intelligence, other than the spoken communications of individuals, from property or premises under the open and exclusive control of a foreign power, as defined in section 1801(a)(1), (2), or (3) of this title;
(B) there is no substantial likelihood that the surveillance will acquire the contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party; and
(C) the proposed minimization procedures with respect to such surveillance meet the definition of minimization procedures under section 1801(h) of this title; and
if the Attorney General reports such minimization procedures and any changes thereto to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence at least thirty days prior to their effective date, unless the Attorney General determines immediate action is required and notifies the committees immediately of such minimization procedures and the reason for their becoming effective immediately.
I'm not sure what you're trying to show. The text you included gives the President the authority to request surveillance, w/o a court order, on foreign communications - either (A:i) entirely between foreign powers or (A:ii) if under open/exclusive control of a foreign power. It specifically prohibits surveillance of US persons in (B). In all situations, cases must be reviewed in (C). No where does it authorize surveillance on US persons w/o a warrant.
How does that mean he can't tweet "whatever he wants." The point was there's no higher power stopping from from speaking.
The higher power is his duty to faithfully represent the United States and guide its government.
Sure, but Trump only really cares about himself. This is probably true for most politicians, except they may also care about their party. The country and (most of) its people are way down on the list, just below corporations and rich people. I/we could probably list many examples on both sides of the aisle, but I'll simply refer to recent events since January 20th, like the newly released Republican formulated American Health Care Act.
Flake's announcement said he's trying to "protect consumers from overreaching Internet regulation." Flake also said that the resolution "empowers consumers to make informed choices on if and how their data can be shared," but he did not explain how it will achieve that.
It won't. I love how our representatives think reducing regulations on companies increases our protection and/or freedoms.
I'll be waiting for an ISP will sell the Senator's browsing information and/or his inadequately protected personal to get stolen so he can understand how his "protections from regulations" worked out... I imagine it will show he's into Furry Porn.
They have gone downhill the content flagging bs, all the issues with cable cards, 30 second skip hacks, and generally the runaround. Plex, Netflix, and prime get me all the media I would care to consume and without commercials. Why would people want a DVR today when they are so broken.
You should give them another look. I've had a 4 tuner, 1 TB Tivo Bolt for about a year and have had zero problems (including none of the ones you mentioned). The Tivo systems now include one-button complete commercial skip for almost all prime-time shows. I understand there were cable-card issues in the past (and maybe still are in places), but I didn't have any with Cox and no content flagging issues. The system I have works flawlessly with the Switched Digital Video controller Cox provided (attached via USB). In addition, you can access Amazon and Netflix (and other audio/video providers) via the Tivo system.
How much of this is because TiVo charges $750 for the DVR, comprising $200 for the hardware and $550 for the required program guide subscription? That could buy several years of Netflix.
A 4 tuner Tivo Bolt with 1 TB of storage is $300 and includes the first year of program guide subscription. After that, it's $150/year or $600 for a lifetime (of the box) subscription -- Note that the yearly option includes "continuing care" (like an extended warranty).
Yup, it's a bit expensive, but it's cheaper (and a better product) than renting a DVR from your cable provider in the long run. I had a MythTV system (with analog tuners) for about 10 years and was entirely satisfied with that, but Cox discontinued analog service last year. I could have added a 3 tuner Silicon Dust HD HomeRun box to my MythTV system, but Cox is a bit wonky with the CCI bit, and I didn't feel like screwing with it. (I hear Verizon / FiOS always leaves the bit unset, but I can't stand dealing with Verizon -- I used to have them for phone service.)
No need for zero-day exploits when Donnie's using a four-year-old Samsung that's probably got more holes than Jeff Sessions' Congress testimony.
Now, now. Jeff was "honest and correct as he understood it at the time."
( I can't wait to use that excuse myself sometime, 'cause, if it was good enough for the Attorney General of the US (under oath) and The Congress doesn't care, I don't see why I should be held to a higher standard. )
Walmart isn't going to send a SWAT team to raid my house and shoot my dog because I embarrassed them on twitter or released politically-damaging information I legally obtained and possessed.
One would think, but you never know. Just ask Karen Silkwood - oh wait, you can't, she's dead and possibly killed by her employer.
As for Walmart, probably depends on if they can get someone cheaply enough, from China.
Pumps are very inefficient. I wonder why they wouldn't just use the excess energy to drive a motor/generator to pull an empty sphere towards the bottom with a cable and then generate energy in reverse as it rises up?
My guess would be: fewer moving parts and/or less complexity with a pump.
To start, some Australians actually make less than the adult minimum wage. The country allows lower pay for teenagers,...
I could get behind that here in the USA -- for teenagers who are still dependents (living at home) as their expense base should be lower than someone living on their own.
If society acts like there is value in human labor, then businesses will be more likely to put effort into labor saving. However, if you can throw wage slave labor at all your problems, you won't make those improvements.
Businesses value labor, they just don't value the people providing that labor. As a gross exaggeration, perhaps that's a distinction between the Republican and Democratic parties. The former values labor over people and the latter values people over labor.
As a libertarian, I value freedom and liberty. I think you have a fundamental right to live your life free from outside meddling to the greatest extent possible.
Individual happiness and satisfaction are the real end goals. I don't presume to know what will make you happy and I'd prefer you let me make my own decisions about that, thank you very much.
Sure, but an independent (for lack of a better word) arbiter, like the government, is needed to ensure that one's freedom, liberty, happiness and satisfaction doesn't unfairly usurp another's. Even your own decisions about your own affairs can have external affects. Perhaps government is required for the cooperative iberty of all it's people.

.... it doesn't mean it becomes TRUE because the president tweeted it.
Shh... Don't tell Trump (or his supporters) that.
On the other hand, they'll probably just ignore you, call you a libtard snowflake who hates 'Merica and suggest you leave if you don't like it.

I've done a LOT of shipping internationally. USA exports more lube than it imports.
The export/import ratio isn't necessarily meaningful, locals could be buying local products.

Like Green Bank, WV:
Green Bank is located within the National Radio Quiet Zone, which means that radio transmissions are heavily restricted by law.
