Please pay attention. People might not like Democrats or government in general but I don’t think they OK’ed giving up their privacy to a person who was not elected and has no authority to shut down agencies

Me: “I’m not surprised.”
Wife: “Why”
Me: “I mopped the floor”
Wife, laughing: “That makes sense!”
