You say that. But Greggy is a good little toady for you. You would miss him if he wasn't there for you

 

If Greg were my minion, why would I have him wasting his time dealing with your **** when I could have him doing something useful like peeling grapes?

I'd actually respect Gator, begrudgingly, if he owned up to his lies. But even when they're spelled out for him he just doubles down.

 

That's a man with no moral convictions or ethics. Which shouldn't surprise anyone (and I know it doesn't) since Gator is the guy who laughs at dead Americans, wishes for mass shootings of folks who dare to have a different opinion from him ... wait, that's wrong. Gator doesn't have opinions. That would require free thinking which he doesn't do any of.

 

He's just an asshat liar.

NSA / CIA Double warrantless searches on Americans over two year period:

 

FROM 2013 TO 2015, the NSA and CIA doubled the number of warrantless searches they conducted for Americans’ data in a massive NSA database ostensibly collected for foreign intelligence purposes, according to a new intelligence community transparency report.

The estimated number of search terms “concerning a known U.S. person” to get contents of communications within what is known as the 702 database was 4,672 — more than double the 2013 figure.

And that doesn’t even include the number of FBI searches on that database. A recently released Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Courtruling confirmed that the FBI is allowed to run any number of searches it wants on that database, not only for national security probes but also to hunt for evidence of traditional crimes. No estimates have ever been released of how often that happens.

Under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the NSA collects hundreds of millions of digital communications at rest and in transit from the major internet backbones running in and out of the U.S., as well as from Google, Facebook, YouTube, and other companies, involving “targets” overseas.

Americans’ communications are constitutionally protected from warrantless searches, but when those communications are swept up by the NSA “incidentally” to its main goal, those protections have been essentially ignored.

Activist Post warning: Censored, Surveilled, Watch Listed And Jailed. Freest Country In The World?

Serve in the military: Operation Vigilant Eagle, the brainchild of the Dept. of Homeland Security, calls for surveillance of military veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, characterizing them as extremists and potential domestic terrorist threats because they may be “disgruntled, disillusioned or suffering from the psychological effects of war.” Police agencies are also using Beware, an “early warning” computer system that tips them off to a potential suspect’s inclination to be a troublemaker and assigns individuals a color-coded threat score—green, yellow or red—based on a variety of factors including one’s criminal records, military background, medical history and social media surveillance.

 

Sounds like a load of BS to me... it doesn't matter if you are a veteran or not... if you threaten our government, it is not a Constitutional issue anymore. You cannot threaten people under the guise of freedom of speech. If you don't like the way things are run, then vote... and if you try and threaten the peace under guise of a militia "protecting freedom" or other group, then be prepared to face the consequences.

No one is arguing you can.

 

You've missed the entire point of the debate if that's your take away.

This is the true danger of our new normal - people jumping to conclusions before all facts come out, because it fits a preconceived narrative.

 

Anyone in NYC area is very familiar with this gay bashing video from last year, where a big guy beat the crap out of a gay couple in a restaurant.

 

Shocking that things like this still happen in NYC, we were told.

Turns out there's more to the story.

 

...

A soused Snipes marched over to El-Amin’s table and blurted, “What did you call us? You don’t know us” then smacked him with a “soft, small purse,” Saxtein said.

A hulking 6-foot-5, 260-pound El-Amin hit and kicked Snipes then stood up and tossed him on the floor.

 

...

But wait, there's more

Defense lawyer Percy Diego Gayanilo said that El-Amin not only is gay but has been active in the LGBT community for more than 19 years.

..

The two so-called victims had been drinking for nearly 7 hours and “their judgement was impaired,” Gayanilo told jurors.

 

What's more is that the original video ran for days after the incident, but hardly a peep from the news when El-Amin informed the world that he was gay.
