Trump is going to streamline our Government most of those cocksuckers have no idea their departments will be cut and consolidtated.
The Patriot Act was the biggest bunch of shit ever created. We had agencies in charge of the shit Bush created the Homeland Security Agency for.
The problem was inefficiency, bad help, and even worse still bad policy by a terrible administration. What did numbnuts do? Created more layers of the same shit.
I hope he cuts about 2/3rds of those departments they are all redundant and are after the same crooks.

The federal government is bloated beyond all possible justification. Cutting it in half would be a good start, but doesn't go far enough. I want a budget surplus of half a billion by next year and start some serious debt repayment!
MAGA!

Obama, the piece of shit that keeps on giving. And people wonder why Trump won. The Democrats need to distinguish themselves from the Dick Cheney Republicans.

Well, we all now that most of the Patriot Act requests are for things other than terror, and the biggest use is about drug trafficking.

The numbers of requests explode every year.

First, the numbers: Law enforcement made 47 sneak-and-peek searches nationwide from September 2001 to April 2003. The 2010 report reveals 3,970 total requests were processed. Within three years that number jumped to 11,129. That's an increase of over 7,000 requests. Exactly what privacy advocates argued in 2001 is happening: sneak and peak warrants are not just being used in exceptional circumstances—which was their original intent—but as an everyday investigative tool.

Second, the uses: Out of the 3,970 total requests from October 1, 2009 to September 30, 2010, 3,034 were for narcotics cases and only 37 for terrorism cases (about .9%). Since then, the numbers get worse. The 2011 report reveals a total of 6,775 requests. 5,093 were used for drugs, while only 31 (or .5%) were used for terrorism cases. The 2012 report follows a similar pattern: Only .6%, or 58 requests, dealt with terrorism cases. The 2013 report confirms the incredibly low numbers. Out of 11,129 reports only 51, or .5%, of requests were used for terrorism. The majority of requests were overwhelmingly for narcotics cases, which tapped out at 9,401 requests.
