Have no problem with FISA until this administration started calling everyone who doesn’t agreed with them a terrorist.

FISA allows warrantless searches. Not shocking you’re on the side of violating Constitutional rights.

BUT, THE FILTHY-MINDED DEMOCRATS WILL ALWAYS PUT THEIR POLITICAL POWER ABOVE NATIONAL SECURITY, OBVIOUSLY. PEA-BRAINED JEFFRIES SAID THE PACK OF COMMUNIST WOLVES, KNOWN AS THE SO-CALLED "DEMOCRAT PARTY," WILL NOT VOTE IN FAVOR OF FISA. THEY WILL ALWAYS FIND AN EXCUSE TO VOTE AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP, NO MATTTER WHO IS HURT OR KILLED! IT'S "WHO THEY ARE" - SICK, POWER HUNGRY TRAITORS. JUS SAYIN...

FISA has been repeatedly used against Americans! If it was used for it's purpose we'd all support it

Mr. Perry’s assertion is both partisan and illogical. During this high-threat period the United States needs a Director of National Intelligence with knowledge, understanding, and experience in national security—including FISA. President Trump’s nominee has none. I am more qualified to serve as DNI than Mr. Pulte. We need to fix this now or FISA will be absolutely useless for protecting the nation and the privacy of all Americans. End the hyperpartisan propelled ignorance, Mr. Perry. Your judgment & behaviors have proven to be dangerous & disingenuous. #PA10 deserves better.

Throughout this congress, Republicans have handed this country over to a dictator, pandering to his nod in their primaries, looking the other way when they find out he's in the Epstein files, repeating his lies when they know they are lies, hiding the fact that he is unwell mentally and physically, leaking classified information in an unsecure Signal chat, sweeping American citizens and those lawfully in the process of citizenship off the streets and concentrating them in camps with only one full-time doctor and worms in their food, allowing other countries' dictators to bring us into war and use our president as a puppet, cutting or diminishing funding for research into diseases and pests, disregarding the American farmer who cannot afford to feed their cattle or fertilize their crops anymore thanks to a war that nobody wants and was started with zero imminent danger, and screw-worming over the whole nation.

Consider who's heading our national security agencies. That's what should worry you. 🇺🇸
