While people are losing their minds over orange man, they do this stuff in the background. Biden obviously doesn't care either. People need to realize our government is not on anybody's side but their own.

The Democrats just overwhelmingly approved FISA extension and expansion.

Yep. In the end though, both parties are complicit

Definitely, but a much higher percentage of Democrats voted aye than Republicans. I'm very disappointed by their attitudes towards a massive surveillance state that violates the spirit of the constitution.

The fact that the Dems are voting for more surveillance and state control right before an election where the guy they believe to be pure evil actually stands a chance of winning is just too absurd to ignore. Hand the guys the keys to the kingdom why don't you?
