Rep. Thomas Massie Calls Out House Speaker Mike Johnson for Voting in Favor of the FISA Warrantless Spy Program

"Mike Johnson did not vote on other amendments that day...He went out of his way to be the deciding vote on not having warrants...He went on the news and said 'I've been to the SCIF. I saw things in the SCIF and it changed my mind on this.' Here's the problem with that story, I was in the SCIF with him...They could not give us one example of how they had solved or intervened in an act of terrorism by using the warrantless spying program."

I write with the assumption that a government agent will read what I type.

Several of them probably read this site 24/7/365.

If you post here, you are almost surely being watched carefully.

Given the lack of major terrorist incidents, they watch well.

We’re not doing anything wrong/illegal

Most of our debates are esoteric/constitutional/hypothetical..

They’d really be wasting their time monitoring us 😂

I dont wish to go on one of their websites.

So are you saying that warrantless FISA is justified and those using them are doing a great job supposedly averting problems?

“Most of our debates are esoteric/constitutional/hypothetical..”

Thought crimes are now a real thing and punishable by the new Banana laws.

As benign as they seem under the color of free speech, they are all a matter of record that can and will be used against you in a court of law if you are charged with other crimes. At the very least they will be used as character assassination to sway a jury into a decision they might have not otherwise not made without them.

“Given the lack of major terrorist incidents, they watch well.”

You are kidding right? Even though they are spying on U.S. citizens they still can’t stop the mass shootings. They are even aiding and abetting these events.

This antiquated and obsolete “trust in government” is an ignorant fail in current times. We are not in Kansas anymore... They ARE the terrorists...

Good. We are the ones that they should fear.

Shut off the front end public access and that issue all goes away. I believe this place has gotten slower and participation and donations have dropped because folks are just afraid to speak freely to the general public. And they actually have a very legitimate reason to be concerned. Free speech is not free anymore, It can and will be held against you in a court of law someday. Or retroactively towards our future social credit score.

Mike is listening to deceiving spirits - he should know better.

Have you suggested this to the Mods? It might be a good idea

I know donations have slowed I’ve chipped-in twice so far this month and that is rare but I wanted to answer the call
