I’m nearly certain it is true that Russia has dirt on him. But serious question: what possible dirt on trump could even slightly alter his base in the United States? I’m not convinced anything could. They could have videos of him raping an entire kindergarten class and his cult wouldn’t care. So at this point, what power does Putin actually hold? Trump (in theory) could tell Putin to fuck off and that would be the end of it.

I think it’s admiration and not blackmail that keeps trump sucking Putin’s dick. I think Trump looks at Russia and wishes he could have the same unchecked power that Putin has and so he looks up to him.

Any minute now something will be done to show Thomas’s actions have consequences! Any minute now…. any minute….

If your concern is whether your cellphone carrier has the ability to see who you are calling and for how long, this is true whether you have a smartphone or a “regular” phone.

While this is good news, the fight for privacy in the digital age will never end. They will continue to take small bites until they have the entire pie. Unfortunately we never (or rarely) regain any digital right to privacy that has been taken in the past. The best we can do is halt the further erosion of our digital privacy through vigilance, education and protest.

I would choose any country outside the 5, 9 and 14 eyes if you don’t care as much about speeds.

Right, the old “to save the children” argument.

I second Joplin. I’ve also used it for a while and I find it easy to use and flexible.

This is quite literally Orwell’s “1984” where they encouraged children to turn in their parents for thought crimes.
