By our Intel agencies if they didn't support FISA being reauthorized.
They have reached out to Tucker to splain why they voted the way they did.
I wonder what made Speaker Johnson flip from a boarder security Conservative first to giving Ukraine a blank check.

If the Chief Justice can be captured, anyone can.

It’s probably more like frightened into it by either fake or exaggerated intel.

No!

Can't be.

Not the speaker of the house!

Why would they tell Cucker to release that?

Unless you have no secrets, the State now owns you. That's the power of State surveillance.

We need Vivek in 28.

Shatter the CIA and FBI and scatter their ashes into the wind.

They're no longer infected with corruption, they are the infection. There is no removing it the virus, they must be removed root and stem.

So why was Gaetz able to flip? And all the other Republicans who supported FISA renewal in 2018?

Probably.


I'd cave also if Intel agencies pressed me. I'm a realist..

We live in a post-Constitutional Republic.

Our representative democracy sounds nice but really carries on largely in name only. Special interests and big money elect most of our politicians and that’s who they work for.

For our part as voters, we largely did little to nothing to prevent the same being put in year after year after year and most of the time if we bothered to vote, we’d lazily vote for those same names.

Hell, it was amazing if you could get half the eligible voters to show up in most election years.

And that’s only speaking to those who get there by being “elected”. The real power being exercised are from those who were never elected to anything but worked their way into and up through the massive, unaccountable bureaucracy.

It’s extremely sad where we are but Washington was never going to watch itself or hold itself accountable on our behalf.

If every Republican and non-insane Democrat (both of them) voted against FISA, what are the intel agencies going to do? Plant kiddie porn on 250 members of the House?

Soft Republicans have become world-class excuse makers.

Meh... not doubting Tucker, but... that sounds too much like the plot of an episode of Bones or NCIS or something.

Ok, so if it's blackmail - Just come out and say "Hey I fricked up 10 years ago and this is what they have on me if I vote against this"

If it's safety - They make plenty of money to hire security

They are ALL fricking scumbags

Of course they are.

In late Rome the Legions picked the emperors, killing them if they displeased them. Why would our empire be any different?
