Good chance The Intercept will die now, it's not really anything respected without his name, and even worse when he walks off due to censorship. This guy went up against the entire media and intelligence apparatus and never stopped. It's costed him greatly, not sure why cowering is even on the table.
This is the most significant development of entire scandal at this point. This guy is principled through and through, he only reports on what he strongly believes and puts getting the truth out above all else, including himself. He risked his safety and comfort to get the Snowden/NSA story out, among several others in South America, and he has paid the price for it but keeps doing it anyway. If Greenwald walks off a paper due to censorship, you know something is rotten. I don't even know if my brain will comprehend the mainstream media tries to character assassinate this one.
California actually has cases trying to overturn both right now and it looks like the court is going to rule in favor of gun rights. If the State is arrogant enough to not accept these district court rulings, which they usually are, they will have to risk these cases becoming supreme court cases and probably lose their anti gun crusade for the entire country. The only bad thing is it takes forever to get to the supreme court and ruled on.
How is he a traitor exactly? It was ruled in Federal court recently that the unconstitutional programs he revealed were illegal. That crap doesn't belong in the United States and others before him who tried to whistle-blow through the "proper" channels ended up arrested.
Can retired federal employees, politicians, contractors, and/or foreign officials access the data from programs equivalent to PRISM (or any of the mass data collection programs)
If yes, how common is this?
Would it be unusual for someone like Christopher Steele to retain access after leaving his position with the UK government?
Does anyone regularly audit queries in these programs for unusual queries, is there any automated alert system or oversight to prevent anyone with access from abusing it?
You don't even have to leave the Democratic Party to vote for whoever you want. If you really care about that party, consider viewing them like a drug addicted family member that needs to hit rock bottom before any change will happen. They haven't hit rock bottom. In fact, they seem to be doubling down on retarded PC and other anti-American policies.If they win, it's like enabling that behavior for who knows how much longer (at least 4 years).
There are tons of things I hate about the Republican Party but they aren't self loathing or constantly trying to chip away at the Bill of Rights. I don't think we ever recover if enough damage is done to the 1st and 2nd Amendments.
Also, did you see that ridiculous music video of the token black Zoolander guy singing on the DNC zoom call from last night? If anyone is ok with that video, they probably should vote Biden.
Isn't that Todd from Zoolander, gets a foamy latte thrown on him?
It's not like that at all. This is like if Trey Parker and Matt Stone walked off South Park because their staff refused to do a joke about Mormons.
