Government business, not party business.

There is no evidence that Trump or the GOP are doing any of this. Furthermore, the only possible use of an app like Confide would be for purpose (1), but that is something government officials can already achieve simply by making a phone call or meeting in person.

The day after his party killed the one federal agency tasked with ensuring voting machine security.

Monsters and the monsters that defend them.

"We'll be clean when their work is done. We'll be eternally free, yes and eternally young." -- IGY, Donald Fagen

Patents for outsourcing and hiding profits, mostly.

"NEVER ask for permission. Ask for foregivness, AFTER you've accomplished what you wanted."

As long as you don't let your employees off for MLK Day, you can do whatever you want, Uber. It's Alabama but with more heat and hate.

Coming soon to a puritanical former democracy near you.

Zero benefits, no health insurance, and like everyone else in Trump's America (other than Trump), they'll be working every Saturday for straight pay.

Just like my local grocery store - part of a very large national chain - everyone is part time, except the manager. #MAGA

Where everything new is Windows again.

Big Oil, or they'll buy up all the...

Whoops. Standard Oil 2.0 (with the Trump Stamp of Approval).

The folks with all the money realized a few decades ago: there's just too many people (as other than prostitutes and bodyguards, we don't need them anymore due to off-shoring, computerization and automation).

But rolling the cattle trucks is a bit too on the nose, so let's go with Permanent War, sugar-based industrialized food, set them at each others' throats with race and religion-based hatreds, choke-off competent and well-funded primary education, and what the hell, add in the idea that vaccines are a bad idea.

The DEA had paid out $237 million to over 9,000 informants over five years towards the end of 2015, according to the report. The Economist writes that "travelers no doubt paid the price in increased searches," adding that the resulting searches were all probably illegal.

Like anything FedGov does is 'illegal' anymore. Funnie stuff. My aching sides.

Job Two will a federally-mandated backdoor for real-time warrant less surveillance.

Because not one near-worthless American dime will be spent on alternative energy research in now Big Oil America. I also fully expect any and all solar / wind subsidies to be eliminated (hell, they'll probably be levied a Big Oil Butt-Hurt tax to compensate for the Oil Patch's hard times).

On the plus side, you will actually be able to see the air that will kill you visibly descend.

They really want to kill Flash? Bury any search results in the back pages *if* they rely on Flash.

We're all going to be spied on soon enough.

What, you think a government now controlled by big fans of authoritarianism isn't going to rapidly pass exactly that the Tories have just done in the UK? Then you're as big a fool as rust-belt voters believing the lies of a reality TV star.
