Senators Clueless About NSA Bombshell
dailybeast ^

Posted on 07/08/2014 8:13:39 AM PDT by chessplayer

These are the men and women who are supposed to keep watch over the nation’s spies. And they have no idea about the latest revelations of inappropriate NSA snooping.

The newest revelations about the National Security Agency may be shocking to the rest of us. To the congressional overseers of the American intelligence services, not so much. They’re still catching up from a holiday weekend. Or maybe they’ve just become numb to the whole spying-on-ordinary-people thing.

Or maybe the agency is threatening them because they have tons of crap to use against them.

It is a ploy.

The EXEMPT are given select information, such as
LoveINT and therefore have NO interest
in protecting the common good for Americans.

OTOH criminal illegal aliens, al Qaeda,
and anyone coming over the border,
no matter how sick or what they
are carrying, are helped by the EXEMPT.

Bingo.

The ones that are not fully sold out collaborators are being blackmailed. Bet on it.

Let’s face it,

Congress at this point is just going to the motion, to put on a show for the public.

Our republic is hanging by a thread.

When it comes to the Senate...for all but a handful you can place a period after ‘Senators Clueless.”

Hey, the position of senator is God’s gift to those who are so stupid that they cannot do anything but consume oxygen and produce CO2.

Of course they are clueless.

We really should think about applying the same treatment to senators that we do to our disabled pets. (Although I’d gladly do to a senator what I wouldn’t do to my dog.)

Why not ask NSA for Lois Lerner’s e-mails? You know they have ‘em......

Don Corleone, visit our nation's capital and go to the visitors gallery in Congress.

Don C, you will notice things
... these Congress dudes are mostly old. Older than I, which I assure you is really old.
Most have had hair transplants ala Joey 'Plugs' Biden.
There are a few Doctors amongst the aging lawyers in Congress. They report that many of these doddering codgers are on various geriatric drug programs that render their minds chopped liver.

It is no mystery that these fellows and gals are out of it. Check out Cochran of MS. Guy is senile. They do what their staffs tell them. Most sign what is put before them without reading it ... much less understanding it.

There are also a goodly number of serious drunks (e.g. A Republican I shall only identify by his initials (J.O.H.N. B.O.E.H.N.E.R) Glenn Beck (an AA alcoholic himself) says he's going to expose them. Yeah, Glenn? When?

The country is run by the Federal bureaucracies. They write the bills ... like Obamacare. No one knows what's in it or any other bill. As Pelosi said ... "Pass it ... we'll figure it out later." She by the way, is pretty much an idiot. Botox does affect the brain. But not her finances. She has smoothed her way into the Feinstein-Boxer Billionaires Club ... ya see, Don C, these broads have husbands who front the business end of the operation.
