“If they were truly working for us they would be doing everything in their power to cut spending, shrink the government, and impose accountability on the DC rogues and politically weaponized agencies. But they do none of that, which tells you everything you need to know about the GOP.”

Well said.

The FBI will just ignore the reforms. It’s already illegal to spy on Americans, and they did it anyway.

MTG has the “Testicular Fortitude” that Johnson is lacking.

There was no point in the replacement of Kevin. We’ll see no difference and likely jeopardize easy seats in a razor thin majority that are now contested. The new guy is the same as the old guy.

Are we NEVER going to get a House Speaker with any spine? Are our conservative values always going to be thrown under the bus? What possible excuse does Johnson have for his cowardice?

if Trump had put a good guy with courage and will maybe it could have made a difference

You don't have a clue what you are talking about. No one else would have been approved through the senate.

This morning on sqwak box, Liz Cheney and Joe Kernen went at it. She called Mike Johnson “corrupt and dangerous”. Makes me want to like the guy but I have my radar on

I do know that, Mitch told him he would only let Wray through so step off. Maybe Trump could have gone with interim appointments, not sure about that. Trump didn’t know was what a treasonous prick actually was that’s for sure

What stops the cowards from adding draconian penalties for abusing the Spy Powers, and making it relatively easy to get the evidence, prosecute, and convict the offenders, including judges. Life in prison with no parole sounds about right.

.
You nailed the point.

Graves, the US Atty in DC was unanimously approved by the Judiciary Committee, with Republicans only asking him questions like, are you going to get the J6 rioters? Do you agree J6 can never happen again?

So, Republicans loved him, he made Jan 6th the largest, highest priority case in History, and he refused to allow Hunter Biden to be charged in the district. He shot down a Grand Jury for 54 year old Hunter.

The Republicans brought all that to life. People don’t want to hear it, but they got exactly what they wanted. They didn’t question Graves on his position on getting Donald Trump or stopping the Politicization of the Justice Dept and courts.

Israel can rely on Republicans in Congress. Americans, not so much.

requires all intelligence agencies and the FBI to obtain a warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC)

I hear it's really tough for the FBI to get a FISC warrant /s
