And no one was surprised.

This feels like Obama's 3rd term.

Truth is no matter who is president the surveillance, wars, and corporate welfare will continue. These trends are bigger than any one man.

Since the US is no longer a democracy and the government doesn't obey the law, Americans shouldn't pay taxes or obey the laws that we didn't vote for.

Just to explain some things to everyone, this first came into being with Bush in 2008. Then Obama renewed it in 2012, and now Trump renewed it again. And it is called FISA because it's about Foreign Intelligence. It's about spying on non U.S. citizens in other countries. Not U.S. citizens in the U.S., or abroad, unless they are living abroad and can, with probable cause, be suspected of being an agent of a foreign power.

So everyone calm down.

That's more than a year old and pretty much is the opposite of what it seemed like your point was in your op. Get with it.

It's about spying on non U.S. citizens in other countries. Not U.S. citizens in the U.S.
So everyone calm down.

Oh yeah, I'm sure the inconstitutional spying on U.S. citizens is not officially sanctioned. It officially doesn't exist. So calm down and eat your donut.

And since I'm a foreigner, should I be worried? I'm prety sure this will keep on going no matter any law, approval or democratic debate.
