The man has never been responsible for anything, so how do we expect him to act responsibly? In short: this phony president is a small and small-minded man, with neither the temperament nor the intellect to handle his job.
The American electorate thinks so poorly of their nation that they and their elected officials do nothing substantive towards removing this cancer from our nation. He has nothing on his mind but his own enrichment and the lowering of this once great nation to banana republic status without the bananas.
When you understand that then the current erosion of liberty and prosperity make sense. It could not have gone otherwise with such a man in the Oval Office.
Yes, our legislators are just “furoring” all the heck over the place. They are condemning with furor. They are issuing statements with furor. They are joint resolute-ing with furor. They are doing everything, except immediately defunding the program and perp marching those responsible for it to Leavenworth, with absolute and unequivocal furor. Spit!
The real problem is with congress.
People appear in congressional hearings, lie, lie, lie.
Congress continues to send money to their departments and does nothing at all to punish them for the lies.
Congress should revisit funding for NSA and dock them for 80% of their appropriation as a punishment for lying.
The persons who lied should be forced out of office one way or another.
But nothing will be done.
We will get the usual letters begging for donations with the line: “We are committed to cleaning up department xxxx...please send more money.”
When they get the money, what happens? Nothing except you are on the sucker list and you get another letter.
“Nobody is listening to your phone calls.”
"The article in the Post also says Pelosi thinks 'Congress should take steps to ensure that such incidents are not repeaorted.'"
Fixed it.
Anything less than that is a step toward tyranny.
There, fixed it.
I’ve got to hand it Snowden and his aides. They wait until His Arrogance and his army of simpering fools and lackeys make statements denying something and then he allows the release of some more documents that blow them out of the water. At some point, there will be documents released that detail that all of the content of phone calls, emails and electronic transactions are being captured for everyone in the US. They don’t need that gigantic facility in Utah for meta-data storage.
Pelosi, you idiot, you are a member of the STALINIST PARTY.
The NSA is a machine operating at the behest of Congress.
Congress is the problem.
