Senate Republicans are lining up against a House-passed bill that would authorize special offices within the government to investigate and monitor domestic terrorism, which is being pushed in the wake of a racist shooting in Buffalo that left 10 people dead.
The GOP compares the proposal, which sets up offices in the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice and the FBI to target domestic terrorism, to the recently paused disinformation board set up by the Biden administration.
“It sounds terrible,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) of the House-passed bill, predicting it won’t get 10 Republicans in the Senate.
“It’s like the disinformation board on steroids....

Senate conservatives say empowering the departments of Homeland Security and Justice with new authority to monitor domestic terrorism could easily morph into federal policing of political speech, and they worry it would be more targeted toward anti-government, anti-immigration activists than extreme left-wing groups.
“I’m completely opposed to this idea that we would be giving the federal government and federal law enforcement power and authority to surveil Americans, to engage in any kind of monitoring of speech that is directed toward censorship. I think it’s extremely frightening and I can’t believe they haven’t learned their lesson from the disinformation board debacle,” Hawley said.

Richard Jewell too.
This bill has nothing to do with terrorism, but everything to do with going after people who disagree with the dim party.
Thanks. Forgot about him.
Boy, this must have been a mistake. Even the Republicans
can’t get it right these days. What happened here?
Well there were a lot of bills they shoulda coulda killed. This one should be killed, but why start here. Just punt in the spirit of bipartisanship.
But not, of course, the Waukesha Christmas Parade Massacre or the daily murders of Whites, by blacks.
Loyalty to the constitution and oath of office and the 1st amendment will be the ones purged, and it will start at the local leo / sheriff level.
This is
Extinction Level Event
for our Republic
if this gets signed into law .
.
Exactly
Just another power grab & opportunity to spy on patriots and gun owners.
Commies gotta commie.
Hell,
Enimies Foreign and Domestic are tightening the
Grip on this Nation with
Amazing speed.
We are dead but we don’t know it Yet.

2024,,,
‘They’ won’t relinquish power at Any price,
The Fix is in and
Our Goose is Cooked.
They should kill it since it only applies to Caucasians, Christians and President Trump supporters who dare attend Trump rallies. BLM and Aunt Teefah cop killers and Walmart looters and arsonists aren’t even mentioned.
Which is just another way the uniparty says it will have two RINOs break at the last minute and pass the bill.
Hmmm...
