Anyway, NSA may get hit with a corruption review.

Apparently in 2014-2016 NSA was over collecting data on US persons under rule 702, (https://fas.org/irp/news/2013/06/nsa-sect702.pdf) which was going to lead to a investigation. It was mass data collection and US persons were getting caught up in it. Instead of fixing the issue, Obama and Senate made NSA director an appointed position by the executive branch instead of judicial branch(2016 NSA IG Empowerment Act) and that basically skipped any oversight requirements. How is this relevant today? (I mean, apart from NSA STILL just storing your kindle app/incognito mode or whatever data without oversight)
Relevance?
Adam Schiff's phone record's subpoena, and it's not that he subpoenaed specific numbers from AT&T and Verizon, but the question is how did he obtain that block of numbers? The link to the NSA is just "sources say" and mostly from Fox News, but God help the democrats if evidence comes out it's true.

You just finished your paragraph with a question and an acknowledgement that what you're talking about is 'sources say' and from Fox News.

NSA thing is real, that adam schiff used it is speculation.

Why god help the democrats? Where the hell is "God help the 3 letter org" whenever they abuse their power to alienate the rights of colored people? Muslims?

3letter orgs abusing power is nothing new. Quit acting like they only abuse it to hurt Rs instead of them always abusing it to maintain their status quo and complete their investigation, personal freedoms be damned.

Amen to that, but why dems specifically?

Once again, it's speculation: But if Schiff did use NSA data for that block of numbers, it's reasonable to assume he or somebody else used it before in pursuit of Trump. If you recall the original whistleblower complaint originated from compiled anonymous sources through the NSA office. It would throw kerosene on the deep state fire.

Maybe, but that narrative always seems to exclude abuses of power aimed at keeping minorities down is my point.

That's because nobody uses Foucault' s concept of power. Nobody sane, that is.

[Zealot]

Are you sure about that? The idea that knowledge is power is the driving force behind spycraft, journalism, and marketing.

That's not Foucault, nothing with him is so rudimentary.

edit: Here, found a good quote

‘Truth is a thing of this world: it is produced only by virtue of multiple forms of constraint. And it induces regular effects of power. Each society has its regime of truth, its “general politics” of truth: that is, the types of discourse which it accepts and makes function as true; the mechanisms and instances which enable one to distinguish true and false statements, the means by which each is sanctioned; the techniques and procedures accorded value in the acquisition of truth; the status of those who are charged with saying what counts as true’

Shit man that's basically the plot of Persona 5.

Foucault's conception of power is quite accurate. The thing that everyone forgets is that Foucault admitted that biopower is inevitable and that it can be good in some instances.

It's when you get into theorists who started to try apply biopower to politics and attempt to solve for it that you run into issues.

theorists who write books like "Toward a Political Philosophy of Race"?

Not sure how you can say that, since Zizek's views changed based on how much cocaine he did that particular day.

She will vote to acquit with a cereal frowny face.

Did a Google on this. CBS, PBS, NPR, etc. all say this. Fox News on the other hand, has a pundit commenting that Murkowski is using Dem talking points...lol
