(19,497 posts)You're ridiculous because the spying is what the story is about. And you know that.
In one post you will deny it's spying but then in another post you claim they got a warrant and followed the law according to the laws that involve spying. If you're Not-Spying you don't need to invoke laws that govern spying. If you're Not-Spying on people you don't need a warrant.
You also like to claim MD is harmless and not invasive. If it was harmless and not invasive it would also be useless. But apparently the NSA thinks it is useful for finding people, presumably people who don't want to be found and are actively working to not be found.
You claim Clapper didn't lie. Didn't lie about a program you claim doesn't exist. He didn't lie about a non-existent program that is supposedly OK because if it did exist it would be lawful. He didn't lie about a non-existent program that is lawful and supposedly received a warrant. He didn't lie about a non-existent program that followed the law and got a warrant it didn't need to collect harmless meta-data. He didn't lie about a non-existent program that supposedly followed the law and got a warrant it didn't need to collect harmless meta-data which is good because if he didn't lie about a non-existent program that supposedly followed the law and got a warrant it didn't need to collect harmless meta-data some people might get the wrong idea about what he was really trying to do.
Your every ridiculous evasion is based on half-arguments. You argue only half the topic at hand and use the unspoken half as the escape route and as soon as you get pinned down on your omissions you run back in the other direction. It's flagrantly obvious and tedious.
