Republicans Passing Bill Letting FBI Spy on Americans Enrages MAGA [1]

This article does not need me to elaborate on its substance and how warped the GOP/Magamaniacs have become.

The NDAA, which typically sees bipartisan support, passed in the House by a vote of 310 to 118 on Thursday. While the $886 billion bill was notably approved without the inclusion of several culture war amendments that many hard-right Republicans had demanded, it did include the temporary reauthorization of a controversial provision known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). www.newsweek.com/...

You can’t make this up. Magamaniacs are really riled up over a law Trump himself put into place.

While a selection of lawmakers from across the political spectrum have opposed Section 702 over concerns of privacy and potential abuses of power, a number of MAGA Republicans railed against reauthorization of the measure due to the FBI having surveilled a Trump 2016 campaign aide using unrelated FISA warrants. Trump himself signed Section 702 into law in January 2018, calling it "vital to keeping the Nation safe." www.newsweek.com/… (note: italics are mine)

We see contradictions all over the place whenever something upsets GOP/Magamaniacs even when it was something their own party either participated in to enact or created to be voted on. You can’t please any of these folks. Its so obvious that they are not out to help everyday Americans. They just can’t see beyond their own noses, because if you point this out, they get upset and argue that they aren’t, even when provided facts and proof.
