This.
Could this just som keyfab between him and Trump who had a little over the top reaction to his no vote, demonstrating an over the top support for Isreal.
I think there’s a game at foot.
But he voted for Biden’s CR. If he’s so principled why did he vote for Biden’s CR.
Seems to me that he's trying desperately to make a name for himself, nothing more.
Massie has been voting against CR with USAID funding in them for years. Not sure about full budgets, but he has at least 4 no votes for CR's with USAID funding.
17% of it is left.
Just a rubber stamp of funding from last year. Trump and Elon are doing arbitrage. They will be given 1.5 Trillion or what ever and they will spend 750 billion or something.
Then they can work a real budget for next year.
Need to also pay out fired federal workers also.
New Activities: CRs only cover initiatives funded in the previous fiscal year unless they are directed otherwise through provided legislation (a type of “anomaly”).

A full funding bill would officially remove USAID. For Massie it has nothing to do with this round, I guess he always votes not. Has passed no bills.
If this follows the typical pattern, thanks to the 24/7 news cycle, this will be pretty much forgotten within a week.
Personally, I would have been willing to place one six month bet on President Trump’s ability to deliver on his promises. But, Congressman Massie is entitled to his own opinions.
Without Trump and the White Hats..Most of us would already be in a FEMA Camp, or dead already. I think A Massie would want to take one for the Team, maybe just once. Then again..Since J6 whomever is still in congress and signed off on a Fraudulent election..Is guilty of Treason, the other half were Selected NOT Elected. I would say our Legislative Branch is Mostly illegitimate...Yet, the Movie continues.

Massie makes good points. At least he isn't taking AIPAC money.
If every congressman voted their conscience the way Massie does, we wouldn't be in this mess where the globalists cabal has taken control of our country.
Say what you will about Massie, but he's leading by example. I have a lot of respect for the guy. He doesn't fight Trump because he's someone else's puppet. Everything he does is done on principle.
Trump is wasting a lot of political capital and dividing MAGA on something that is even less popular than his shilling of the experimental, mutagenic jab during the Covid era.
Disagree.
I wouldn't be surprised however, if it turned out that Trump was doing this to raise Massie's stature as a unifying candidate for the next election. Trump can never bring America together because of his history and the visceral hatred many have for him. Someone else will need to lead that healing effort.
I can think of no candidate better than Massie, who has always voted on principle, and never taken a single dollar of AIPAC money. He genuinely represents America without being part of the espionage war we're living through.
But in any case, Trump is supposed to be fighting the deep state globalists, not American politicians who genuinely represent OUR values. But whether or not there is a movie aspect to this event, it is undeniable that it is Trump who is responsible for this division. And if there's a reconciliation to be made, Trump is going to have to walk it back, because Massie isn't going anywhere.
None of that implies I won't support Trump in his effort to defeat the globalists. But this attack against Massie isn't that.
Because I strongly support Trump and this war we are in to defeat the evil that has taken over the planet.
But Trump is objectively wrong on this.
Now, it could all be part of the movie. We all know Israel is being saved for last, and Massie is the only Congressman with the principles to refuse AIPAC money. Trump may be attacking him to save him for later. When the truth about Israel comes out and Trump is forced to take one for the team, Massie, as Trump's enemy, may not be thrown out with the bathwater.
But if this is genuine, Trump is flat out wrong to attack a patriotic American who votes his principles. If every Congressman was like Massie, we wouldn't even be in this mess. Trump is there to attack those working against America, not those who love America and try to lead by example rather than psyops.
I understand what you are saying here. I don't think you are implying President Trump divides the country at all. I agree that we SHOULD question things. A rushed vote is never a good thing. How many items were in this resolution? Why have Doge push transparency if they are still going to give money to the crooks? I also agree that we should keep an eye on Massie too.
