well, me, i'm just not feeling this mike pompeo thing....

"Congress should pass a law re-establishing collection of all metadata, and combining it with publicly available financial and lifestyle information into a comprehensive, searchable database. Legal and bureaucratic impediments to surveillance should be removed. That includes Presidential Policy Directive-28, which bestows privacy rights on foreigners and imposes burdensome requirements to justify data collection."

from a january op-ed in the wsj arguing for expansion of surveillance powers (www.wsj.com)

This is a big worry of mine. We can say goodbye to an open internet and hello to massive surveillance. - Krusty Nov 18, 06:50 22
- you're not going to want to hear what jeff sessions thinks about marijuana.... - x Nov 18, 06:54 21
  - He's going to run into his own party on that one and the states don't have any interest in enforcing the federal law in this case. - Krusty Nov 18, 06:58 20
    - sounds about right....nm - x Nov 18, 07:02
    - As has been illustrated repeatedly, the Republican affection for states rights only applies when it suits their agenda. -- nm - znufrii Nov 18, 06:59 6
      - This also speaks to their belief in less government. They're okay with the massive boondoggle that's the war on drugs and the DEA. You never hear them -- (edited) - Krusty Nov 18, 07:05 4
        
        yep. unsurprisingly, that pompeo op ed calls for doubling or tripling the number of fbi field agents....nm - x Nov 18, 07:10 3
        
        well, all those FBI hires will be offset by the firings at the EPA -- nm - decline Nov 18, 07:13 1
        
        And Dept. of Ed. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 07:14
        
        They're two faced with their ideas and principles. When not in power it's all about austerity and less government. - Krusty Nov 18, 07:13
      - Of course. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 07:00
    - Also, good people get stinking drunk and drive. He's okay with all the alcohol being sold? How don't they see the hypocrisy? -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 06:59 11
      - Weed is from the devil in their eyes - I really think that train has left the station though - too much tax revenue for states - Epiphany Nov 18, 07:02 10
        
        I really thought as the baby boomers assumed power that weed would be tossed out to the crowds like carnival candy. I'm surprised how - Mel Profit Nov 18, 07:20 5
        
        They're so not the adults they or anyone thought they'd be. They hardened and aren't any fun. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 07:24 4
        
        I know a few diehards. I'll introduce you to them next time. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 18, 07:33 3

        My guess is that the tax revenue will be hard to give back plus going against the vote of the people really doesn't look good or do anything to help - Krusty Nov 18, 07:07 2
        
        Since when does the vote of the people matter? Just look at the presidential election! :) -- nm - znufrii Nov 18, 07:09 1
        
        It's mostly blue states anyway so F them. Though, medical is in some red states. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 07:11
