No veto on NDAA

Looks like the White House just released a statement saying there’ll be no veto of the National Defense Authorization Act, you know, the one with all of that indefinite imprisonment and crazy police state-y language. Which really just means it’s time to freshen up that passport, dust off your jacket, gas up the car and line up at the Canadian border. At which point you’ll vanish...
