    Graham pointed to language in the bill that would repeal a provision allowing senators to sue if their phone records were collected as part of former special counsel Jack Smith’s probe.

    What a cock

      allowing senators to sue if their phone records were collected as part of former special counsel Jack Smith’s probe

      Yo yo yo, can we get a little taste of that anti-state surveillance civil action, Mr. Graham?

      No? Fuck me? ICE raid incoming and you hope I die in a cage in the Florida Everglades?

      Well, I guess I retract my question, then.

    If they had spines, democrats would be running on “we shut down the government to protect all people from illegal searches under ice. Or to prevent constituents health insurance premiums from shooting up. Meanwhile the republicans shut down the government to protect only themselves from legal investigations”.

    “What senator wouldn’t want notification that they’re looking at your phone?” he said.

    Like constituents, Lindsey?!

    “The cops need us right now,” he said. “They’re being demonized. They’re being spat upon. They can’t sleep at night.“

    I can’t. You surely abandoned DC cops quickly; but you want to fund DHS and ICE so they can put everyone but you and your corporate masters on constant surveillance to be murdered by cops when it’s in your interest to care and talk shit when it’s not? I hope you are among the first to be reeducated.

      The Senate is on track to pass a government funding package Friday afternoon after Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told colleagues that he will release his hold on the massive spending bill if he gets a vote on legislation to crack down on sanctuary cities.

      Either allow senators to sue if they’re under investigation, or ramp up the war on sanctuary cities.

      What a cock
