That is not the way the Constitution works.

No, but that's the way the contracts you agree to work when you use phone applications that provide your GPS location. The constitution has nothing to do with that.

"The only people who have something to fear are the criminals."
Tell it to Breanna Taylor.

What happened to Breonna Taylor was criminal, but that's not the topic of the thread. Breonna Taylor's location data was not the reason the police were at her apartment. Yeesh, let go of the hate, all cops are not bad or corrupt, some of us are trying really hard to make things better for average folks by solving crimes against them and putting the perpetrators in prison. A lot of us support reform, and trying alternatives to police response to certain types of calls. But if you'd prefer that I don't pursue the last two murderers that I've put away, please tell me why.

I've written several geo-fence and location service data warrants on burglary and vehicle theft cases with excellent results. The only people who have something to fear are the criminals. The geo-fence warrants require service of two search warrants to get the suspect's data. The first warrant requests all devices entering and leaving the fenced area during a certain time period. Google responds with masked results. Then you have to determine which of the masked results is most likely your suspect and write a second search warrant to have that device unmasked. The location service search warrants mean that you are already on our radar as a suspect, and we have probable cause to get your location data to show that you were either at the scene of the crime or not.

At least in our state, the prosecutors restrict us to the least amount of data possible because that's what the judges have deemed permissible. I'm sorry, if you're outraged about this, you don't want the police to solve serious felony crimes like murder, rape, robbery, burglary, arson, kidnapping, insurrection, etc. We're not running around writing search warrants to get your precious data willy nilly because they would never be granted, we have to have a crime, and we have to show how the data we are requesting will assist with the investigation/solution of that crime. Unless you are a criminal, we really don't care about your data.

They should pass another round of stimulus, but base payment on vaccination, that way people who are vaccinated don't miss out.

I wish they could evacuate anything with a vagina too, women's rights are about to take a huge step backward. I had a thought about an interesting novel about a unit of American Special Forces trained female Afghan fighters so fierce and ruthless they scared the Talaban. I think you'd be able to find some Afghan women who would be on-board knowing what is coming for their sisters, daughters and mothers.

It's only an issue with the GA GQP because he's black, if he was white, they would overlook anything in his background just the way they have with Dotsad and Paxton, etc.

Now I wonder about all the documents the Drumpf Regime reportedly destroyed before the inauguration, are there records of other phone calls, is there anything left in the top-secret safe? What other crimes have they buried? This country is so fortunate that Rosen and Milley and others responsible patriots did not bend to Dotard's criminal desires.

If it's after dark, we don't answer the door. I have a brace under the door knob and a surveillance camera watching the front porch.

If it's during the day, I look out the mirror tinted side window to see who it is. I don't answer for obvious sales people, I just let them stick their flyer in the door. If it was one of these knuckle draggers, I would have answered because I like to play. I'd let them get into their spiel, and have them ask me some inappropriate questions. I'd act unsure, and tell them that I don't think I have to tell them who I voted for, to see if they try to roll me with a lie, which I'm sure they would. Eventually it would come down to me telling them to get off my property or I'll have them arrested as trespassers. I'd whip out my cell phone to get a good face shot, and a picture of their vehicle. Then I'd submit the surveillance video to the Democratic party as proof of what's going on.

"He should have listened to the experts."
You mean the experts that are still learning and still disagree with each other?

As always, the PHESTER is happing between your ears, it's amazing what's left of what you call a "brain" hasn't leaked out through your ears. So here are some simple facts that maybe will help you to understand:

FACT: The Coronavirus attacks the respiratory system, and is generally transmitted through the air by breathing, screaming, and coughing.

FACT: Fully vaccinated people ARE very unlikely to catch Alpha variant. In the unlikely case of a breakthrough infection of the Alpha variant, SCIENCE SHOWED it to be very unlikely that vaccinated people could spread the disease because of low viral load in their nasal passages. So CDC recommended ditching masks for the vaccinated.

FACT: Thanks to anti-vax morons on the REICH, who refuse to do the patriotic thing and get vaccinated, unvaccinated areas in the red states have allowed the Delta variant to take hold, and spread like wildfire. New research shows that vaccinated people are more susceptible to catching the Delta variant than they were Alpha, and they are very unlikely to need hospitalization and almost never die from it. The research also shows that vaccinated people who catch Delta often have no idea that they are sick. Thanks to SCIENCE, we know that the viral load in their nasal passages is similar to unvaccinated people who get Delta, so they CAN spread it just as easily as an unvaccinated moron.

So follow the logic if you can, masking up for vaccinated people is likely to stop them from getting a breakthrough of the Delta variant, AND it will also help to stop those with breakthrough infections from infecting others.

Are you one of those morons who complains about wearing your seatbelt when you have airbags in your car? Individually they both keep you safer than nothing, but combined they make surviving a crash hundreds of times more likely.

Didn't I read a few weeks ago that Pfizer was in the process of producing a third dose specific to the Delta variant? I'd gladly get a third shot of Moderna if it meant I could continue with my COVID free summer!

There is no bottom to the POS in the GQP. Ever time I think we're getting toward bottom, the floor opens up and we drop another thousand feet. Don't forget these are just surface investigations, if an actual forensic audit was done, what do you think it would uncover for these commissioners, or in the Gaetz campaign books, or Ms. Lindsay and the Turtle's books? All of these scum are almost as dirty as Dotard, which is why they are clinging to him like COVID clings to your lungs, because he makes them feel normal, like greed being the entire focus of your life is normal and good.

Mo, Mo, Mo.
How do you like it?
How do you like it?

"Michael Jordan never quit at halftime because the pressure was too great."

Nothing Michael Jordan ever did on the basketball court could end up with him forever maimed or dead. Sorry, Gymnastics is in a class with few other sports, like downhill skiing, bobsled and luge (off the top of my head) where mental focus has to be complete, and where a millisecond lapse can mean the difference between gold and life in a wheelchair or worse. If she's not feeling it mentally, good for her for taking her long-term health into account. She's 24-years-old, that's a long time to spend in a wheelchair, or eating through a feeding tube. I don't see any of her fellow gymnasts bashing her decision, they all understand what it's like to get the "twisties." The yips have lead to the end of many baseball, basketball and professional golf careers.

On the stage in Helsinki, one dictator, and one dicktaster, you can figure out which was which.

If I owned a business I would require proof of vaccination for my employees and my customers. It would be a way to weed out the morons in my employ who believe Russian created FB memes over actual science, it would also cut the number of sick days my people take when they get COVID and cut my workman's comp payments for employees who claim a COVID as a work-related illness. It might cut down the number of employees I have or the number of customers I serve, but it would be worth it to keep my smart employees safe.

You hear the QTards and the MAGAts booing him and a healthcare expert when they try to tell the ignorant deplorables that scientific evidence shows the vaccines have no effect on fertility, but that getting COVID certainly does. These morons believe some Russian-produced FB meme over actual scientists, maybe if Hutchenson and the doctor spoke with Russian accents, or in broken English?

Record gun sales during COVID are coming home to roost. This is not a violence problem, or a gang problem, big cities all over the world have many of the same problems we have in our big cities without the accompanying gunplay. The difference is that we have more guns per capita than any other first-world country by far! This weekend I read a news story from Texas, where a dude saw his ex-wife and her new boyfriend at a football game, so he went and shot them both dead, along with her unborn baby, yeah how's that party of the unborn? We're going to be seeing more and more stories like that. Then we'll see people who see the ex approaching with a gun on his hip, and they'll open fire fearing that the ex was going to shoot first. This will get far worse and I don't see it ever getting better as long as the GQP are beholden to the terrorist NRA who are supported by Russian funds.

If I was in the market for a car, I would certainly look at the Tesla Model 3 or the new, lower-priced vehicle they'll be introducing next year.

I'd start with Qevin McQuarthy, Mini-Palin Boobert, and old Leatherface Traitor Greene. We need to get to the bottom of who in the GQP assisted with the insurrection, because those people need to be arrested, tried, and most importantly tossed out of Congress.

I've always enjoyed Halloween, here's a chance to have it all year long! Lol. These incognito anti-vaxxers are really committed to hanging out with stupid people.

The beltway press does not like the Biden Presidency, it's too boring, so they have to invent controversies and outrages, like the Kamala's laugh BS. The Biden Administration makes the beltway press work too hard, because they don't leak, and everything they're doing is entirely legal and moral. The beltway media preferred the Dotrad regime, because they were a bunch of criminals who leaked like sieves. They enjoyed the easy work of playing stenographer for a criminal conman who broadcast his ID daily in chopper talks, and loudly advertises when he's committing crimes. President Biden is working behind the scenes twisting arms with Manchin, Sinema, and I suspect a few other Dem Senators who don't want to do away with the filibuster. Obviously, President Biden won't speak publicly about reforming the filibuster until after the bipartisan infrastructure bill is done one way or another. The bill WILL help get Dems elected or re-elected up and down the ticket, whether it's passed with reconciliation or if 10 Republicons come along for the ride. It's better if it's bipartisan because the majority of voters want Washington to work in a bipartisan way. Once that passes, I expect President Biden to start pushing publicly for a civil rights carve-out to the filibuster, which I suspect will be how the Dems get the Manchin proposal passed along with some language regarding gerrymandering and short-circuiting the GQP attempts to overturn election results they don't like.

The government should continue to cover the cost of hospitalization for fully vaccinated people who get breakthrough cases of COVID, but if you refuse the vaccine, which is completely free, then enjoy bankruptcy.

Lol, Dotard just realized that's not spray tan, Bush actually has brown skin. Now he's wondering how Bush got onto the grounds at Mango Lardo without a waiters jacket. He was never going to support a person of color over a white person, what was Bush thinking?

Time to do what France is doing, vaccine passports. Feel free to decline the vaccine, but don't expect to go to any public event, or dinner, or the movies, or fly, or use public transportation. The unvaccinated are screwing life up for those of us who were responsible and got the jab. You have the right to decline the vaccine, you don'have the right to infect others, period!

Often a laugh, a chuckle, or a thoughtful hmmm is a time filler while your gather your thoughts. Politicians are trained early to avoid dead air, there is nothing more uncomfortable for your interviewer and the audience than dead air while you consider how you want to answer a question. Just think about how uncomfortable some of these TV Zoom interviews have been during COVID when the guest has forgotten to unmute, or they didn't hear the question and sit there with and expectant look on their face. You will see some politicians start by thanking the interviewer for the question, some have a standard three or four word preface, but that gets old quickly. I'm more of a hmmm type, but that's because I don't like my laugh. However, in many/most of those clips, Kamala seems to be honestly having a good laugh. At least she has a sense of humor, Dotard had none and I doubt he has ever really laughed except at other people's misfortunes. He's one of those guys who when normal people look away when somebody breaks their leg or blows out their knee during a sporting event, he laughs and points.
