Talk the talk, throw a bone, produce a couple of sound bites at hearings that lead nowhere, screw your base, go on TV to polish the turd, limp along until cast out.

The Swamp GOP playbook. That’s the representation we get, and soon we will be jailed or worse for complaining about it.

On January 19, 2018, Trump signed the warrantless surveillance of Americans into law . The bill tat Trump signed also included the reauthorization of FISA 702. Trump stated:

“This intelligence is vital to keeping the Nation safe. As shown by the recent attacks in New York City and elsewhere around the globe, we face a constant threat from foreign terrorist networks and other foreign actors who would do us harm. In order to detect and prevent attacks before they happen, we must be able to intercept the communications of foreign targets who are reasonably believed to possess foreign intelligence information.

Section 702 provides the necessary authority, and it has proven to be among the Nation's most effective foreign intelligence tools. It has enabled our Intelligence Community to disrupt numerous plots against our citizens at home and our warfighters abroad, and it has unquestionably saved American lives. The Act I have signed today preserves and extends this critically important national security tool.”

The Swamp GOP playbook.

Once again GOP in congress prove that they are more interested in being reelected than they are in doing what is right

And if you call them on it at a townhall they will say if I don’ get re-elected I can’t continue the to fight for you in Washington

If they buck the leadership they don’t get party campaign funds.

If they buck the leadership they don’t advance to leadership

They all end up careerist rather than statesmen
