Yeah, I think they achieved their goals of crippling the US for the forseable future. Mission accomplished.

Because of Bush’s masterful handling of the storm? Way to go guys.

I had to read that multiple times - my first reading was 97% of the time, when users of X called for violence, X chose not to respond to the calls by committing the requested violence.

Of course, if they’re in the army, can’t they be executed for treason and the like?

From the way they are acting, they clearly don’t seriously think there will ever be a chance of them losing power, so they probably will go for it.

Of course, they’re probably also fully aware that if the Democrats ever DO regain power, they will trip all over themselves to “let bygones be bygones” and restore the filibuster for the Republicans to use.

Yeah, so far no stoppers that I've found. I generally like the look but I think as the betas progress they're probably going to dial down some of the transparency - the notifications on my Lock Screen and the control center icons are very hard to read because I have a kind of busy background picture.

No it isn’t and it never was. That was the excuse they used to cover their gun fetish. They always saw themselves as the shock troops of the authoritarian takeover, and the fact that they are delighted it’s happening is confirmation.

Sure, they could, and probably should. But evidence suggests they won’t. So what’s the point of them spying on him? They’ll collect a bunch of information and do nothing about it.
