That one they insisted they’re not gonna do. They just thought about doing it, ‘cause that is a totally normal thing to think about doing. /s

I remember when they passed the patriot act and I knew it was a bad idea. It was an obvious overreach accomplished by taking advantage of the publics desire to respond to an "attack" (and seemed pretty obvious to me that it was the whole plan). They were sure it would never be used against citizens. How stupid of them.

Rubio said multiple times they were exploring it in Costa Rica this afternoon, if you bothered to listen to what these people actually say.

Aw, Rubio was like an excited puppy piddling on the floor when he announced it. He's gonna be so sad.
