God Damn Fucking Crooks
  • Every single Democrat and Republican on the Senate and House government intelligence committees are effectively on the payroll of intelligence services contractors working with the Department of Defense. 
  • Both parties are voting to grow the Police State based on millions in campaign contributions from military contractors wanting to suck hard on the Government Teat.
