    If what Trump is going to do with the surveillance powers is exactly what it was intended the president could do with them, is it really misuse?

    In software engineering, we call this “works as designed.”

    Yes it sucks more that Trump specifically will weild them. But the real problem is that the office of the presidency has these powers. Not specifically which president had them.

    That’s always been the problem with surveillance, but these twats never seemed to realize it when they brought it up. How fucking stupid can you be before you just forget to breathe for an hour or two?

    How did all these laws Trump can abuse on day one get on the books, I wonder? They should find the guys responsible for passing them in whatever organism they used to discuss them
