There was talk of gathering social media usernames(no passwords) for visitors from visa-waiving programs or those using marriage visas during the last few months of Obama's term. At the time it was implemented it was only optional, and that people weren't being denied entry if they declined to share said information. It still wasn't okay, but it wasn't mandatory.

Russia (USSR) was the first to launch an earth-orbiting satellite

Who gives a shit? The US was the first to successfully launch a Mars-orbiting satellite, a Mercury-Orbiting Satellite, Jupiter.. Ceres.. Saturn..

Sure, Russians got a head start on space exploration back in the 1950's, but the US has surpassed the Russians in space exploration and technology to the present day, and has more satellites, probes, and rovers exploring space and other planets than the Russians do.

You realize a few years ago Russia was our friends again right? Do you know remember how Obama lectured and mocked Romney in 2012 debate saying the 1980's called, they want their foreign policy back over a comment he had made saying Russia was a threat?

Yeah, until Russia invaded Ukraine 3 years ago, annexed Crimea, and shot down a civilian airplane. Do you remember that?

I never said anything about Trump, but since you brought him up.

I'll add that I meant this in the context of his 100 days of failure. I only mentioned him in how Republican Congressmen don't particularly care for him aside from him having an R next to his name, but they dislike Dems more.
