Learning from the mistakes from the Obama administration, the Biden administration focused on the policy outcomes of the legislation instead of focusing on the optics of attempting bipartisanship.
“The Senate approved a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan on Saturday, as Democrats muscled through a marathon debate — and overcame dissent from moderates within their own ranks — to move one step closer to delivering President Biden his first legislative victory. Democrats voted to adopt the bill without any Republican support after a more than 24-hour, around-the-clock session,” The Washington Post reported Saturday. “It will now fall to the House to consider the sweeping package once again before it can become law and any of the aid can be dispersed.”
Boo fucking Hoo. You did not to water it down you would block it?
Behold, Jim Wright nails this little weasel to the wall:
Reporter: “Within hours of the storming of the Capitol, the FBI seized thousands of phone records — including from members of Congress.”
Matt Gaetz: <sounds of sphincter panic clenching>“We should hold hearings in the House Judiciary Committee to review how and why the FBI was gobbling up phone data from their critics.”
YOU gave law enforcement and intelligence the authority.
YOU did.
YOU personally gave them that. Everytime you authoritarian assholes renew the Patriot Act and those associated secret laws that are allegedly all about “national security,” YOU give them that power, Congressman.
YOU did that.
YOU. Didn’t you know? Didn’t you check? That’s your job, legislator. What were you doing instead?
I’ll tell you what you were doing: you were busy calling the rest of us unamerican and unpatriotic for warning you about removing the limits on law enforcement and the intelligence community.
Remember?
YOU didn’t give a shit when you thought those laws would be used to spy on Black Lives Matter, or Muslims, or ANTIFA, or all those people YOU hate. What’s your problem now?
And it is YOUR problem, isn’t it? Heh heh.
Funny thing, according to people like you, if you’ve done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear, right? That’s what you tell the people YOU hate.
Well, isn’t it?
YOU seems a tad nervous, Congressman. Do YOU have something to fear?
You maybe wondering what NSA and the FBI have on YOUR phone calls?
Yeah, I can understand how a bum like you, might be nervous, given that you in your own words refer to traitors, insurrectionists, and the seditionists who stormed the Capitol Building waving Confederate flags and wearing MAGA hats, who murdered a cop, who tried to murder members of congress, who tried to overthrow the election and install Donald Trump – a guy YOU support 100% – as dictator, as “critics.”
Critics?
Heh.
These people beat a cop to death with an American flag. Critics.
These are YOUR people, Matt Gaetz.
This is YOUR murderous ideology.
This is YOUR violent insurrection.
This is YOUR militia, right here in Santa Rosa County.
I can see how you might be a bit nervous at the idea of the FBI examining your phone records.
You should be.
Politicians SHOULD fear accountability.
For four years, you’ve gotten away with it, gotten away with your lies and your stunts and your belligerent incompetence. Without Trump, you’d be nobody, no one would even know your name.
But Trump can’t protect you anymore. And your daddy can’t buy your way out of it either.
