In the UK a new domestic spying law just went into effect that gives local police the right to check in real time what any person is looking at on the internet with no judicial oversight. This is the kind of thing Soviet bloc countries only wished they could have done back in the day and now it's happening in a supposedly free country. Heaven help us if someone like Rudy Giuliani gets the homeland security director job. Undoubtedly he'd think something like this would be great for America.

I am worried about the socialist tendencies of Trump. He really has no ideological foundation and was for most of his life a liberal Democrat.
