This NSA surveillance will never stop. When caught they will just say "ok, we wont do it again" then just double down on keeping it secret. The only people who go to prison when people expose the government for breaking the law are the whistle blowers. The law is there to keep you in line, not the government. They are above the law. When they commit crimes they call it violating rights. When I violate someones rights they call it a crime and me a criminal. This wont end unless we are willing to get our proverbial torch and pitch fork and shut it down by force.

He has offered alternatives. Use the 35 billion in foreign aid for domestic aid. We have given hundreds of billions of dollars to countries like Pakistan over the years. If they are really going to be upset that we end it now then we shouldnt be giving it to them in the first place. God forbid they be thankful for that 100 billion we already gave them instead of resenting us for not giving them another 100 billion over the next 10 years.

I don't view rigidity a virtue.
There are handfuls of anti war (D) lawmakers he could team up with should he seriously want to redirect military spending
Even with (R) - did I miss the legislation written by Amash and Rand Paul ?
As long as there has been politics / governance the word is compromise. Those who can are successful - those who can't are nothing more than back benchers

At this point in his career he is only a well oiled re election machine

Rand Paul did in fact bring a bill to a vote to rescind Presidential war power granted after 9/11.
It was defeated 2-1

No mention of Amash efforts
....
Never the less, good for Sen Paul

Opposition to relaxing asset-forfeiture limits produced a strange-bedfellows effort by members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus and liberal progressives. Sponsors of the amendment included Reps. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), Mark Sanford (R-S.C.), Raúl Labrador (R-Idaho), Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Don Beyer (D-Va.).

Let's hope this guy is a future presidential nominee.
If/when that happens, I'm quite sure he will be the latest nazi from the media
why ?

I agree. Would be a great candidate.
I would vote for Justin Amash.

I also like Tulsi Gabbard quite a bit. Her and Amash are just about the only two individuals in Washington I like at the moment.

this is a sound take
and as we move forward in dealing with the mob, i hope we will make some distinctions...not all of them are terrorists or insurrectionists...some were more or less tourists in the wrong place...a slap on this wrist for those...more severe punishment for those who led the way in breaching the Capitol or acted violently or damaged property
