The really great thing about having a Republican (even if only technically) president is that the news media suddenly rediscover the virtues of small government, and the dangers of an unbalanced power structure (a similar phenomenon holds with Democratic presidents & conservatives). It'd be awesome if people would just be principled, but apparently that is too much to ask.

Yes, but I just carry a clean device with no access to my accounts. I can honestly and without deception say that I cannot do what is asked.
