Ron DeSantis is an establishment-controlled tool. Back in early 2021, I warned you about the red flags. The Deep State was setting up a Gavin Newsom vs. Ron DeSantis presidential ticket. Many of you, especially MAGA, got mad at me “How can you say that? DeSantis running against Trump won't happen. DeSantis is Pro-Trump!” But I laid out the pattern, step by step, and y’all didn’t want to hear it. Just like now, when I’m calling out Massie.
Then 2023 hit. DeSantis did try to take the nomination from President Trump-exactly as I said he would. Thankfully, many of you had the self-respect to admit, ALPHA told us this would happen.
Now let’s connect the dots. Who was riding shotgun with DeSantis and his establishment-backed campaign? That’s right-Thomas Massie. This isn’t about continuing resolutions or budget fights. This is about Massie backing the establishment. He bet on DeSantis, thinking he'd win and secure himself a cushy spot in that administration.
Fast forward to now. What’s the Deep State trying to do? Undermine Trump’s momentum as we approach the timeline to setup midterms. How? By orchestrating a government shutdown and then blaming Trump for the economic fallout. They want to manufacture a crisis, use it as a weapon against Trump, and strip away his political allies, one by one. Meanwhile, Trump is exposing their money laundering operations right in front of us using DOGE, and they hate it.
And while all this is happening, America’s enemies are positioning themselves to take control. But some of y’all are so fixated on hating "just" Israel that you miss the bigger picture. Israel isn’t the only government with influence over D.C. China controlled a U.S President with Biden. And beyond that, we’ve got the military-industrial complex, Big Pharma, and hostile foreign nations all fighting to pull the strings of power. Yet some of you only focus on one piece of the puzzle instead of seeing the full board.
Here’s what’s at stake: the American people gave Trump a mandate. He is responsible for delivering on that mandate. Anyone who tries to block him is suspect-period.
Massie, DeSantis, and the Deep State want to give Republicans just enough wins to keep them hopeful, but not enough to actually empower Trump. They want to undermine his movement while positioning themselves for a takeover in 2028. This isn’t about principle-it’s about POWER.
What’s their endgame? A DeSantis/Massie presidential ticket, locking out anyone Trump would support as his successor. They want to control the post-Trump GOP and ensure the establishment regains full dominance.
This isn’t checkers, folks. It’s chess. Wake up.
THIS ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️
ps... Trump2024...then VANCE 2028... NO ROOM FOR "wannabe's" who kiss the ring of UNIPARTY "establishment" types 🤮 🤢 🤮
I dont know too much about Massie but I do agree that this bill sucks. If DS wants to fail it they can but if the Dems join to vote on the bill in the senate I’m leaning towards Massie being correct that this was a uniparty deal which essentially refunds all that DOGE has worked to cancel.
Rescission plays in this somehow. I glanced over an article that had something about it. It's about the number of senators required to do different things. Passing the bill, then Trump doing rescission thing will only require simple majority while doing it without the bill takes 60 senators. Sorry, I didn't really read it in depth.
Ron went to the Crawford ranch to kiss the Bush ring. Dunzo!
Ron believed JEB when it was Karl Roves strategy group left out of jobs that campaign cycle. They got Ron all the maximum checks and took their cut. Done. Because the voters weren't going to give him a dime That's all they wanted. Work. Trump sucked the life, the money and voters out of the primary. Ron was stupid to fall for it.
And I'm not happy with all of the illegals I see everywhere, that I know Ron agreed to take. The one bus to Martha's Vineyard was for show.
Ron was marinated and the Bush wars and regime change.
Massie votes 97% on conservative issues. He doesn't get AIPAC money. AIPAC wants to primary him. I trust Massie on this case. He explained his vote.
It takes courage to stand alone.
But... chess bro. You gotta understand chess. This isn't checkers.
Not gonna stand with AIPAC. They don't do anything for Americans Let's see what happens.
Of course not, but you do understand that you sometimes have to play "the game"?
Art of War style stuff?
There is no need to decide on anything right now, just keep this in mind for the next primaries if in relevant voting precinct. If someone is a better candidate, encourage them to run and vote for them, if Massie is still the best available, go there.
It does sound like a good time for people in that district to prepare a primarying campaign.
Not sure why anyone else would need to have a conclusion right now though. Outside of the above, the rest of us can just wait to see what happens here, yes?
Good post though. People in his district should bookmark this for later.
I am in Massie’s district. I am, and have been, fully on board the Trump train since 2016. I have been unhappy with Massie a couple of times for not rubber stamping Trump’s agenda. Each time though, his objections have been constitutionally sound. I think he truly takes the time to read these bills, and understands the implications of straying from his principles. I am reasonably confident that he won’t be primaried.
Just to be very clear, that and practicing discernment on actions are the only two things at play, here.
Constitutionally sound ... just like in 2023 when his lone vote allowed McCarthy to lock in Pelosi's spending and deficit increases - this time passed by a (R) House -- lasting through 1stQ 2025 without opposition, and today presents Trump with the budget crap we are dealing with now. This is what got McCarthy canned as Speaker.
Pelosi got her budget priorities secured through Sept 2025 with McCarthy's and Massie's help - and she's been out of the Speakership since Jan. 2023.
Trump's next move will be to counter the CR with Executive impoundment powers-- not spending appropriated money, likely approving spending levels commensurate only with DOGE recommendations and Russ Vought gets to say how much. Perfect.
Massie is still a prick.
That's what they say.
Not if that requires ignoring, or trampling, the Constitution.
IMO ----- Massie is tired of playing ----- he wants to flip the whole board over.
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. This violates those limits.
Whether Chess or Checkers, it doesn't matter if the Constitution is violated to "win". If government ignores the Constitution, then we, the people, lose.
@RepThomasMassie and @RandPaul 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://t.co/l0wNLri2EO
Massie's lone vote is the reason McCarthy was able to betray us in 2023, that allowed Pelosi's budget plan and spending numbers to last through Sept 2025 unscathed, although she vacated the Speakership in Jan 2023.
Then blame all of the others who voted against the constitution, and not the one who voted correctly.
He self-righteously choked when he was needed to stand in the breach back in 2023. We have paid for his self- righteousness for 2 years longer than we should have had to, and he continues to pompously grand stand. Trump needs team players and people who are smart enough to know how to play the game.
Trump played hard ball with the Dems, and they caved.
Massie just stuck his ego out there and got marginalized along with all the other Dem losers. Trump already has a $500MM war chest for the 2026 elections. Elon will finance a primary challenger. Massie won't get a dime of Trump's money.
Agreed. I am anxiously waiting to see what happens.
At some point in time ---- we stop playing Chess and Checkers and flip the whole board over.
spot on
IMO; Massie's opposition to the CR is reasonable as it's based on a Deficit Democrat budget. On the other hand; believe Trump needs time to deal with execution of the plan and not to be hampered by a shut down. In addition, the next budget cycle will be a MAGA budget with all the DOGE poo-poo taken out.
This is the point is it not.
It sounds reasonable on the surface. You have to dig into the claims made, with the knowledge that Trump is not going to put money in a ploy that yields nothing.
With this in mind, what advantage can a CR yield?
