    Having a conversation with this person must be confusing - she voted for Trump, supports JFK Jr., and is pro-privacy.

      At this point, these cameras are now a bipartisan issue. As it should be. Louis Rossmann has brought it to the attention of people all over the country now, and has explicitly stated multiple times that all people should be pushing back on this, regardless of how they voted. And I agree with him on that.

      This is a solid step in the right direction, and fighting back against mass surveillance is an extremely valid reason for putting differences aside. Hopefully this will open people’s eyes to the reality of the situation.

          So, the sonnenrad Nazis and the star of David Nazis fucking hate each other.

          Which ones are your friends?

          Better to say: ‘the enemy of my enemy is useful’ or ‘the enemy of my enemy is an asset’.
