I am skeptical that betting the political future of an entire party on "January 6th" as the enduring brand in which to invest all time and attention is going to seem as wise when elections come—in just 300 days.

@CL207 it's all fun and games until NSA gives the IRS a corkboard of ct pfps, a big chart showing the movements of every phone number that repeatedly intersected with the locations of whale ct parties (CO-TRAVELER), and a manila folder labeled "dms and discord"

How else can NSO's country-code targeting prohibition be bypassed? Simple:
1) Target a specially-prepared device *you control* in an eligible country code

3) Reverse it
4) Retarget anyone, anywhere twitter.com/Snowden/status…
