Because no one honestly thinks we gave a "spy agency" license to break the law and disregard the Constitution.

Or DO THEY?

All this happened after our duly elected officials vetted everything for our safety. They were given ALL THE FACTS* and concluded that it was better to give away the right to our meta-privacy. And our content-privacy too. And all the other privacies that we haven't been told we don't have any more yet! For freedom.

So remember that it was our wonderful electoral system -- the one that provides Amurika with such great comedy and entertainment. And that hires the best campaigners and the bestest money-raisers among us.

That's is how we got her. YAY!!!

Are you registered to vote? You know can't win if you haven't entered the contest!!!!

And also remember, to ALWAYS VOTE BECAUSE YOUR VOTE COUNTS.

- This is how.

I hope the NSA has a national Asshole Contest based on their intel.

What am I saying? That's what elections are for
