I am plenty pissed about the bill, and angry at the repulsivcans, !
You are wrong in one aspect. The military got a bunch of money, much needed money. That is why the President signed it, he said.
The Dumbs would have never have let that happen without their pork money, and boy did they get some, .
I applaud DJT for signing it, even though it was loaded with crap. The military must be restored after the gutting by the last Administration. He did the right thing.
Congress, on both sides of the aisle, set this up intentionally to limit the review time, specifically to make DJT look bad.
The residents of the swamp don't want it drained.

I am torn, but with understanding that great achievements come sweat and tears.
I see this as political fighting representative of the air we breathe. We all shat out the same hole.

You're either on the Omnibus, or off the Omnibus.

Every day they spend and spend (too much, Omnibus) We get on the bus that never ends (too much, Omnibus) I'm so nervous, I just sit and pout (too much, Omnibus) The house just makes me wanna shout! (too much, Omnibus)

Ray O put me on restriction. I am only allowed to monitor T/OT 23 hours a day, . I replied pretty quick. I am amazed I didn't start this thread.
I am upset.

Diversionary tactic Tony. Oh sure, they are looking at you. For sure. Might be a drone, a black drone.
This sounds like what the real story is here, and the reason it wasn't put through proper process. From your second link:
"Because of this failure, U.S. and foreign police will have new mechanisms to seize data across the globe. Because of this failure, your private emails, your online chats, your Facebook, Google, Flickr photos, your Snapchat videos, your private lives online, your moments shared digitally between only those you trust, will be open to foreign law enforcement without a warrant and with few restrictions on using and sharing your information. Because of this failure, U.S. laws will be bypassed on U.S. soil.
As we wrote before, the CLOUD Act is a far-reaching, privacy-upending piece of legislation that will: •Enable foreign police to collect and wiretap people's communications from U.S. companies, without obtaining a U.S. warrant. •Allow foreign nations to demand personal data stored in the United States, without prior review by a judge. •Allow the U.S. president to enter "executive agreements" that empower police in foreign nations that have weaker privacy laws than the United States to seize data in the United States while ignoring U.S. privacy laws. •Allow foreign police to collect someone's data without notifying them about it. •Empower U.S. police to grab any data, regardless if it's a U.S. person's or not, no matter where it is stored.
And, as we wrote before, this is how the CLOUD Act could work in practice:
London investigators want the private Slack messages of a Londoner they suspect of bank fraud. The London police could go directly to Slack, a U.S. company, to request and collect those messages. The London police would not necessarily need prior judicial review for this request. The London police would not be required to notify U.S. law enforcement about this request. The London police would not need a probable cause warrant for this collection.
Predictably, in this request, the London police might also collect Slack messages written by U.S. persons communicating with the Londoner suspected of bank fraud. Those messages could be read, stored, and potentially shared, all without the U.S. person knowing about it. Those messages, if shared with U.S. law enforcement, could be used to criminally charge the U.S. person in a U.S. court, even though a warrant was never issued.
This bill has large privacy implications both in the U.S. and abroad. It was never given the attention it deserved in Congress."
