What if I told you there was a GOP Congressman in office for 12+ years who has never passed a single bill, didn’t believe there was election fraud in 2020, loves Mitch McConnell, raised Biden’s debt ceiling, and is against term limitsYou’ll never guess who
Massie either gets in line or he is toast in 2026. Trump won Kentucky by 30%.
Makes me wonder if Massie wants a shutdown because he's profiting from the USAID or some other grift. The only way to halt DOGE is a shutdown. That or like POTUS said, he's just a grandstander.
Some of Massie's votes:
• In November 2016, he voted against an extension of U.S. sanctions against Iran, the only member of the House to do so.
• In May 2017, he was the sole House member to vote against sanctions on North Korea.
• On March 26, 2019, Massie was one of 14 Republicans to vote with all House Democrats to override Trump's veto of a measure unwinding Trump's declaration of a national emergency at the southern border.
• November 2019, he was the sole "no" vote in Congress on the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019, which he called an "escalation" with the People's Republic of China.
• In December 2021, he was the sole vote against the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act.
He's a pretty big non-interventionist. He's the only Republican without an AIPAC handler.
He's playing the game and is clean, he's drawing the fire as now others will get scrutinized and people will understand.
Non-interventionism is good.Apart from the border vote I see no issue.
These guys are against Massie because he wants to cut all funding to Israel, which is also a great idea.
You are saying you think the guy who invented the debt clock badge that shows our debt in real time is in on the grift? You better get some strong evidence.
And I really liked him. But I realize I have been fooled many times in the past by people I thought were the good guys.
Action speak louder than words.
Him not giving out our money angers the other politicians. Best president would be a duck. And the best politicians would be geese, no reason to add more laws or really do anything.
Massie won by more than that in the Rep Primary despite AIPAC pouring tens of millions into his opponent. I am in Massies district and his support is enormous.
Trump was pro-McConnell and that is the vote I regret the most.
Trump has been a tremendous disappointment. The idea that he should go after Massie while Trump’s dumb ass stands cheek to jowl with the transhumanist lunatic Elon Musk is laughable.
This
Even if he "gets in line" that just means his lack of integrity is even worse. He should be gone in 2026 no matter what.
Wasn't Draino one of the shills who did a photo op with the Epstein binders with the other influencers?
Name me a reporter who would not have taken that binder?
I think the binder thing was a play to get a reaction. Nothing is as it appears, you'd agree?.
Those journalists were set up - they had zero idea that was going to happen. They were there to meet w/JD, Pam brought a bunch of binders to them and ushered all of the journalists/influencers/whatever you want to call them out a different door than where they came in. Surprise - the media was all there waiting on them. She even put a 3 hour embargo on the release but someone broke it. Draino may or may not be a shill but the whole binder thing is not on him.
All of those docs were posted on here at some point - without the redactions. It was all BS.
yes, and since then, since the bamboozle...
Those influencers have came out and really chastised the admin for using them as lying pawns...demanding the actual release...
No? Not a one of them?
If this was done by Dem's we all know we'd be pointing it out. That they would either be in on the con, or too dumb to be aware of it - but in either case it would be used a evidence that they are just social media grifters... Why wouldn't we hold our own to the same?
Don't particularly think that NOT passing any laws is necessarily bad.
He's the only Republican without an AIPAC handler.
Who cares if he never passed a bill.
Big problem if he didn't believe in the voter fraud though.
"Who cares if he never passed a bill."
That is a big deal. If a bill doesn't pass, then you dont want fraud, extra spending. In truth I wish more didn't pass bills.
"Big problem if he didn't believe in the voter fraud though."
This is the sticking point.
Draino talks like it's a bad thing though
The second part yes.
If you are a constitutionallist, there are very few bills passed in the last 100 years which the federal gov't has any business passing.
There are like, 16-18 things the fed is instructed to do. Everything else is left to the states. If we have 100s of departments, something has gone very wrong.
The bill thing is pretty big tell for what they actually work for.
Like for example, after SCOTUS overturned Roe V Wade: I bet you can name a few dems that protested that decision. But can you name even one that proposed a bill making it federal law?
Because thats literally what SCOTUS told congress to do in the decision: Write a law if you want one. Not even a single democrat proposed a bill. They din't want it to be voted on. They never wanted it. Obama, who actually campaigned on passing it as a federal law because even all those years ago they all knew it would be overturned since SCOTUS can't legally pass laws like Roe and the decision had absolutely no law backing it, changed his mind and told Congress not to write a law for abortion after he was elected. They never wanted it to pass, not then, not now. fact is, if they really cared it would never have happened - under Biden they had full control of both sides of Congress as well as the white house and could have pushed it through or at least shown that they were willing to try. Refusal proves its all just "protest theatrics" but the bills themselves - and lack of - prove actual intention.

I'm highly suspect of piling on Massie. Seems like a very intelligent guy who doesn't take money from Israel? Since when was shutting down the government a bad idea?
(((DC Draino)))
So they're still mad about Massie letting the AIPAC handler cat out of the bag? I wonder if our greatest ally was mad enough to off his wife too...
I already didn’t have a good opinion of anyone in Congress. Nothing explicitly personal against Massie. Just find everyone in Congress suspect. And find myself questioning it’s worth as an institution more often than not. So this is more just a filler episode in the drama that is the useless entity we call Congress in my book
I mean hell. According to polling reports. Congress is the 2nd most disliked part of our Government. Only the IRS is disliked more. And it’s held that rating almost perpetually since they started collecting data.
TSA is up there as well.
TSA should damn near be considered treason.
Find someone who agrees with 100 percent of your ideas and I'll show you a liar.
Too bad so many Americans who claim to support restoring the integrity of our government seem to be ignorant as to what that takes.
POTUS is dead wrong. You cannot Make America Great Again without having an an inviolable respect for the Constitution. POTUS only deserves our support, as long as he is not violating the limits of power delegated to him by our Constitution.
Rep Thomas Massie and Sen Rand Paul are the only currently elected representatives with the guts and integrity to do the right thing. The Constitution is not optional. The Constitution matters, and the limits of power are absolute.
For those of you who believe, I mean EARNESTLY believe POTUS is right, I challenge you to watch this video series regarding our Constitution, and the principles upon which the framers of our Constitution established our Republic. I think you might change your mind as your ignorance is cured: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp-48d_jSb4
Does Trump go after any of the Rinos that stabbed him in the back? Hardly. Does push out the neocons like Dan Crenshaw? Nope. Does he go after dual loyalty Congressmen? Not a chance.
Who does he go for? The one principled man who is unafraid to stand against 434 of his peers. The guy who has been sounding the alarm of fiscal calamity.
I don't know what the angle is right now, but it better be a move that I'll look back and say "wow, what a twist"
I don't see anybody asking what his net worth is now vs 12 years ago. I don't know where to find out either.

He lives off the grid and he has 24 patents. He used to own a tech company that he started with his wife and they sold it in 2003. His net worth is approximately $3 million.
Tom Cotton?

Hadn’t seen this here, just know there’s been some confusion around what’s going on and thought this may be some good context on why DJT wants to primary Massie.
Could any of this have anything to do with his wife mysteriously passing away last year? Strangely quiet about it.
Weird.
The right-libertarian faction of the Republican Party forms an almost miniscule percentage of the party's coaltion. And there's a big difference between Massie's ideologically pure libertariansim, and the libertarian-influenced conservatism of the larger factions of the party's coaltion. Furthermore, the dominant faction under Trump - the Populist faction - is the least libertarian-influenced faction of any within the party's coalition. Nationalist Populism is actually not "classically liberal" economically, so it's not in alignment with the right-libertarian economic view that Massie espouses. The Republicans are not in power based on a libertarian-leaning majority of the electorate, because the majority of the electorate does not care for such principles. Trump's Populist movement, similar to the analogous movements in Europe, is instead based on a principle of "solidarity", which translates as a rather classically leftist (social democratic) economic program, combined with a social/cultural traditionalism.
I was gonna mention that Massie should just give up and come out as a Libertarian. Of course he would never be reelected, so don't hold your breath.
So much for the thought Trump was not against Massie. I stand corrected!
Maybe it's AIPAC who doesn't like Massie.
I regret to inform you that the people who passed the most bills did the most useless things and is not a measure of effectiveness.
Now why would a zionist attack the only person without an AIPAC handler?
This situation seems like a Saving Israel for last deal.
You mind saucing that, handshake?
Who did take $230?
I think it was Trump.
No wonder he forgoes his measly presidential salary.
