Properly worded headline: Top Senator Warns Sweeping New Surveillance Powers Will “Inevitably Be Misused” by us
Yeah, let’s not pretend this isn’t absolutely a class issue. Snowden, Assange, and Manning happened under Obama. This is an “us” vs the “elites” Trump is just a convenient excuse for the next democrat to abuse these same powers and be like “well Trump was doing it”
Edit: if you don’t think the Biden administration isn’t doing the same thing right now to protect our precious “Healthcare” CEOs from another “getting even” attempt you are sadly mistaken
This right here ppl. Read it and dont say u werent warned
No one is saying that.
