   Is Presidential decorum important? Are tweeting scurrilous slurs of wiretapping, colossal blunders?
   
   Trump accused Obama of wiretapping. I am confused as to why he feel the FISA warrant for SVB Bank &  Alfa Bank involves Trump Tower since Trump, etal  are NOT named in the FISA warrant -  just the 2 Russian banks & the warrants are looking for transfers of $$ from Russia to USA, (a felony). (R)Sen. Sasse, “we are in the midst of a civilization-warping crisis of public trust.”

   Trump still thinks he is in the entertainment and real estate business where he can manipulate people and things by creating an alternate reality.  The FISA report in question had nothing to do with wire tapping, but that is the reality that Trump and company wanted to create by distorting the facts..  This was all done to take the heat off of him and his cohorts for any possible collusion with the Russians. 
   
   You are absolutely right about public trust.  He is losing the trust of the people except for those who still have blind faith in his campaign promises.  But I believe given enough time, they too will lose trust in him.  This is evident in his rush to repeal and replace Obama care without taking the time for critical thinking.
   
   Here is the article started the wire tapping fiasco:

      the dem who wants to talk to christopher steele has the right idea. but that situation is odd. steele came out of hiding, so isnt he worried he'll be killed? both putin and trump have everything to lose....he must have some airtight safety measure!

   yez maam. i love sasse on this one. and agree with him that assange is an enemy of the usa and works for vladimir putin. as does edward snowden, imo. lets see fsb spying mechanisms, shall we? how about that? or do people think cia is only agency out there, and every single other country on this earth doesnt do the same?
   as for trumps hateful tweets...hes a disgrace to the office and should be more like his wife! if this gvt lets him get away with colluding with russia, they are not worth the flag they salute, or the constitution they swear allegiance to. i mean, where there's smoke there's fire....and this situation is an inferno. put it out before it puts us out, thats all i have to say.
   (and no pence...hes in on it too!)

   I think when a boy in the ghetto gets shot we should not look to the sins of the boy that brought it on but rather what we can do better. Like volunteering to be a mentor. If a sitting president did a wrong thing we do not look to justify it by the sins of the victim. (nobody is a victim here it just is the best word) Trump organization servers were apparently legally survailed, And it appears that it was done with a judges approval.
   Yep they did it and yep they did it right. It smells bad and it looks bad and feels like dogshit that does not mean we should pick it up and taste it. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY7ZX6ngOSs )

   I think it is important to remember that the NSA evades FISA via SIGNET partners to carry out surveillance on U.S. persons.  - but Trump is looking for a no-questions-asked rubber stamping of Section 702's five-year renewal. Communications with foreign persons is fair game under Section 702, even if the communications originate in the US - https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20170 … ance.shtml
