It really is too bad that Austin's police force does seem to have a bad habit of shooting suspects, many from behind.... but hey at least they aren't sexual assaulting suspects, so that's something!
TPB nothing. Why not set up the Dark Mail service there? Outside of the NSA and I'm sure the taxes on the service fees would more than cover the lost gambling tax revenue.
The NSA has been given all that information and they haven't been able to stop a terrorist attack that was actually going to happen. They have been given near unfettered access to the communications records of millions of people and have yet failed in their goal of stopping terrorism. They have been given adequate time and materials within the law and their inability to meet the stated goals says they should not be able to make statements to the contrary.
If you do it, its theft. if you have signed a contract with someone to take some money, you have to sue them to prove that taking any money was illegal and not a "mistake"
As a general rule, I find Congress invoking a Special Prosecutor as nothing more than political theather, but maybe in this case it could produce something useful. A true independent prosecutor who could look into the abuses at the NSA and what, if any, action was taken against the bad actors may be helpful. Then again, maybe it will all be classified and nothing will happen. Yeah probably the latter.
He probably didn't get prosecuted because they found no evidence he played video games. As has been shown time and time again, video games are the gateway to everything violent!
for one, it could provide the United States and our allies early warning of international financial crises which could negatively impact the global economy.
they have the ability to guess when financial crises may be coming? Yet they failed to do anything during the mortgage bubble when American and allied banks were taking actions that could negatively impact the global economy? Here could have been a chance to justify their budget and save millions, if not billions of dollars, but they missed that as well.
