Was over in Europe last week. The US has definitely lost influence. No CNN on Germany or Italy but there is A Chinese American language news channel, RT and BBC. Stayed at 4 different hotels no CNN. Last year And the previous year 2016 there was CNN on foreign TV. When they say twitlers name it is with obvious contempt.

They find social media accounts immediately. They're law enforcement they have all kinds of resources to use.

Is this some type of intimidation for something?

Of course, I guess it is easier after the person's done some killer to know which ones to look at.

Still, enforcement's going to bite.

Big picture: The State Department's move would effect almost 15 million would-be immigrants, according to the proposals. Last fall, the

Department of Homeland Security also began collecting social media from immigrants, green card holders and naturalized citizens.

Rubio wasn’t born here. Neither was McCain. Are they “lesser class” citizens? Will they have to give up their social media handles?

Haven’t asked me so not worried but I have no intention of ever complying with such a request if asked.
