It is to laugh - Or not - The Patriot Act of 2001 - today [View all]

Those of you too young to appreciate one of the founding bits of feces this administration uses might do well to look up current info on the 2001 Patriot Act and its continuation and acceptance by all presidents since. Seems while much of it "expired", a lot was "updated" and added to allow even more surveillance and (probably SCOTUS) reinterpretation (or ignoring) of whatever they or trump's sphincters feel will help The RepubliCorps of America.
This is a long read for some. Be warned.
