Um, Denny. My boi, the fourth amendment cease to exist a minute the Patriot Act came into being.

At least you had the correct vote on that in the Iraq war.

So long as their permanent excuse remains the day the laws of physics were suspended, that day will forever be used to suspend all other laws.

N Walker. There is the outer political oath and there is the inner authentic oath - the one you actually plant your feet for - in our current Congress given its 50 plus percent of millionaires, the real secret oath is to fealty to the Super and Super-lite Rich Man’s Preservation (Reservation) of the Status Quo Only Money Matters and Power Fraternity.

They've done it all along. I knew this back in 2006, but it takes a full generation for these things to get to this point. That's what your loss of freedom does to you, Mr. & Mrs. America.

Many concessions to this bill caused Republicans to change their previous approval votes.

Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, publicly opposed the bill Wednesday, pointing to its illegal use against him and others during his campaign.

After Trump’s public disapproval, Republicans in the House voted down a procedural vote to advance the legislation for a final passage. However, after winning many concessions from leadership during Thursday’s negotiations, Republicans agreed to advance the bill. The revised bill now includes a two-year extension of Section 702 of FISA, a change from the original five-year plan.

The US government has brainchipped hundreds of thousands of citizens covertly for corporate ai. These people are being tortured with drones and 5g and aerosolized ‘nanoswarms’ in the US. They are being labeled terrorists and crazy while the real crazies torment them and steal and vandalize their property. I spoke to you directly about this in Medina, Ohio. These abuses are being perpetrated and hidden under falsified FISAS. The victims are also being fed out via cctv. Republican leaders KNOW THIS IS OCCURRING. Jim Jordan Thomas Massie Dan Bishop Mike Johnson KNOW THIS IS OCCURRING. The stolen cognition is for the profits of elites and corporations. Our country is a complete totalitarian hellhole because Congressional members are 100% CORRUPT. ALL of them. Unless you are willing to confront this openly stay home. https://x.com/ed_rugebregt/status/1755703536195616849?s=46

This is a pattern in some form of repetition, though more convoluted in iterations. The novelty or realization is the current intensity of repression as justifiable. Or not.

They want to shut down TikTok; they ban you on X, ban you on Facebook... What's a little more spying on US citizens, right?

Best of luck, Dennis, taking on our fascist overlords in DC.

The duopoly is out of control. It is no longer disguising its contempt for American citizens. It takes bribes from AIPAC and the WEF globalists whose express plan is to kills up and replace us with AI robots. This is not a conspiracy theory.

I cannot muster your optimism congressman Kucinich. I think the pre-total fascism is all but fait accompli. Unless there is a socialist revolution a la Bob Avakian, we're on the way to a bad end.
