I can pretend that the NSA doesn't exist and ifnori the story, or I can discuss the story in the current reality.

Should they have been spying on Tucker Carlson?

Is there a way to ignore threads with certain posters before I open them and waste my time?

Unfortunately not at this time.  Maybe taxed or Grammy can find something that could be added on with the new system upgrade(s).

You could always just pass on a post when you see their name.  But you my be missing some good rebuttal in response in a post below the person you have a problem with.   

Quote from: p1tchblack on July 24, 2021, 09:24:52 AMBy virtue of the fact that Tucker was email Putin intermediaries, nobody should be surprised that the emails got the attention of the NSA.  Whether or not you agree with the existence of the NSA, monitoring communication between the US and foreign enemies is what they exist to do.

I want to know why Tucker's name was unmasked, if it's true that he was only seeking an interview.

Except that never happened with putin. Remember, the ENTIRE russian collusion delusion was proven to have been fully made up by the intel community (an attack on the sitting president) without a single shred of evidence.

Quote from: p1tchblack on July 24, 2021, 12:27:30 PMRelying on common sense, which is highly impacted by biases, is how one gets to the point of believing that the NSA actually gives a shit about Tucker Carlson's TV show and is trying to shut it down.

           

The leftist specimen exposes himself!

Sorry, common sense is just another word for critical thinking. It is the removal of bias to see the world as it is, that way you have a proper starting point, a foundation for logical deduction. Without common sense you will always be easy to deceive.

I missed the rest of your BS until T Hunt pointed it out.

Commonsense in no way is preempted by bias, that's the beauty of critical thought, for it to actually work, one must remove all preconceived biases.

Seriously, you should try it, you might be surprised by responses you generate.

Something tells me, his indoctrination was thorough, he's beyond repair.

I mean, Tucker himself said that he had been emailing to set up an interview with Putin, so.....

Quote from: p1tchblack on July 25, 2021, 08:27:32 AMI mean, Tucker himself said that he had been emailing to set up an interview with Putin, so.....

And that warrants spying on him? Hell, he's a well respected journalist, it's his job to seek an audience with world leaders.
Why are you defending spying on American citizens?

They didn't know "he" was until the request to unmask his name.

Pure Bull Shit, that's not how it works!

That is how it works. Americans names are mastlked unless some person at a certain level of authority request to have them unmasked. In this case, tuckers assumption about the Putin interview wasn't correct. Tucker's name was mentioned in an email between third parties, one or both of which were actually being targeted by the NSA.

The fact that they're spying on us in the first place, completely negates your claim that they weren't spying on a journalist.
You can buy their lies, but no thinking individual is buying any of it.

Again, answer the question: Why are you defending the Communist behavior of our own govt?
