Pleass stop posting circa trash.


Shoot the messenger, huh. If you don't realize there is a problem with "702" authorizations, whether it involves your preferred candidate Obama or not, then maybe you aren't paying attention?

Do you want Trump or any president, or more accurately, unelected intel agencies abusing power like this with no recourse and no oversight?[0]

Doesn't this concern you? Well.. it's up for reauthorization later in the year, and now there is extensive evidence it lacks oversight and has been abused.

Politicians of both parties have turned a blind eye to the problems, and if you follow some of the proceedings in Congress lately, they are loathe to criticize or even bring up the issue in depth. They all want this to continue.

Does anyone care?

>Shoot the messenger, huh.

In this case: absolutely!

NSA stories are too important to be dragged down by some news aggregation platform trying to feign original, investigative journalism on a site that's borderline unusable on the desktop.

Circa literally numbers every passage—interspersing ads every few—while providing a cringe-worthy video of their reporter reading a script in a tone too grave to possibly be genuine.

>Do you want Trump or any president, or more accurately, unelected intel agencies abusing power like this with no recourse and no oversight?

That doesn't change the fact that clickbait trash is still clickbait trash, and should be discarded because it detracts from the quality of the overall discussion.


With reader view in Firefox, it's fine.


Agree completely. And I can't imagine that the self-disclosures at the end of the current term will be worse than this.


Agreed. Impossible to read, horrible broken UI (pagination, really?). Fonts too large. Too much white space.


So, since the experience is bad it invalidates the information provided? Most information from the government comes to us in the form of simple documents, I guess we ignore that information as well?
