The evil irony of an agency that goes around in masks uses undue influence to learn the identities of those that criticize. Midterms can’t come soon enough!

Predicted in 2001 that the Patriot Act would turn on Ametica and threaten our freedom.

If only the tech companies felt a sense of civic responsibility, a debt to the democracy which enabled their creation and astronomical success.

But all they see is money. As long as Trump is enabling their greed, and putting no restrictions on their operations, they will do whatever he wants.

They deserve nothing but the utmost condemnation of every patriotic American.

Where are the Democrats? Do we have any leaders who will denounce this with fervor? Let's have the conversation about restructuring or ending the Department of Homeland Security because this is absurd. As if the military industrial complex were not enough of a behemoth, now Americans are the enemy? Not on my dime. And I believe many if not most here would agree.

Trump's America is a land where anyone who expresses disagreement with the 'Dear Leader's" policies is added to a government list of people to be targeted.

In three decades serving the USA, nearly all spent in communist and authoritarian countries, I never imagined that the USA would adopt the exact same policies that we consistently decried in other countries.

This is Trump's America.
