Yep, if I were choosing it would be between Bolivia and Uruguay.  Really they are all wonderful countries and people except for Nicaragua, that place is still a hot mess.

Gotta love this part,to bad we can't get a President like this-

 Maybe it's a guy whose initials are the same as body odor(except his stench reflects on our entire nation) 

 JAIL for the rest of his traitorous life!!!!  

WTF kind of evil SOB murders women and children, then goes and parties with Beyonce and basketball players? 

 This guy is such a POS!

 The scariest thing is that people actually voted for him in 2012.!

 He conned me into believing him in 2008,but C'mon.His plans were obvious by 2012.

His initial induction was no different (or maybe worse) than the old films of Hitler,with braindead fools cheering for him.So scary.You could smell the rat from day one.

 Hope my ass!

 He appeals to the lowest common denominator of MY country.

How can someone make Bush #2 look like a better POTUS?

God help us in the future with the tards we allow to vote for such a POS.

How the eff could he have been reelected?



 
...aside from the name calling I bolded the two things that stood out to me w/this latest repetitive froth...one really obvious difference is that in the old Nazi propaganda films everyone is white so there's a little tch' of a difference, no?...and the second thing is what happens in a democracy...people vote...and look! you just called all of those people 'tards'...again...

I was really hoping for Sweden.  I figure they would have given Snowdon asylum just to jerk Assange's curlies.

Actually it probably started in WWII. The US Gov wiretapped and recorded thousands of calls between "suspicious" people without proper warrants.

At the end of the war all the cartridges and machines were supposed to be destroyed apparently so there would be no way to know who was recorded after the fact. These machines likely cost taxpayers several thousand each and were built as no expense spared. No manufacturer marks or logos etc on the machines or cartridges so Pierce couldn't be held liable later if things went bad, 
Of course I have one of these machines and its built so well it still works perfectly. All direct drive no belts or rubber parts to fail:

 

 
It started as soon as they figured out how.

France 'runs vast electronic spying operation using NSA-style methods'
Le Monde said that after Snowden's revelations about the NSA's Prism surveillance programme prompted indignation in Europe, France "only weakly protested, for two excellent reasons: Paris already knew about it, and it was doing the same thing".
