Trump works for Trump AND ONLY TRUMP. Not Putin, not the US, not the constitution, not for the good or bad... Just the guy he sees in the mirror.

If you think about it. McConnell had a bloodless coup. He with held a Pres. nominee for the SCOTUS. It was a power grab of epic proportion.

One which opens the door for big money to exert more control over the country.

How are we "on the cusp" of "losing the American constitutional republic forever" when Trump is nominating Constitutionalist Judges to SCOTUS? Preserving the American Constitutional Republic is exactly what they do. That's why the left hates them.

And yet he favors the NSA collecting endless amounts of data on the American people...

He's not a Constitutionalist.

They've already had our data for decades. It's called a Social Security number and think about how many things are tracked via that number.

Health records.
Education records.
Financial records.
Residential records.
Employment records.
Credit records.
Utilities' records.
Etc.

Should one have to provide a SS number for any of the above, other than employment or SS and Medicare benefits? No. But that's been going on for decades.

We're in the process of returning our country to a constitutional republic.

MAGA!

Let me get this out of the way, so did Bush/Obama/Hillary do you see a trend here?

NSA is supported by both sides and thus bi partisan and will be with us for eternity.

Only in the same sense that you are the hitchhiker he picked up going generally the same direction.
