Why have Congressmen left DC ? Are they not staying at home ? Shelter in place and doing no unnecessary travel ?
Nice to know how flexible your principles are.
Don’t get too cozy with those vipers and scorpions, Mr. President!
Dance with who brung ya!
Aren’t they saying Massie was responsible for removing the ballot harvesting nonsense the DEMs wanted to force into the stimulus bill? If so, I hope he gets credit for it and Trump acknowledges it.
Mark Levin was on fire tonight. If you didn’t hear him, try to catch it on his podcast app. Stands by Massie because all he asked for was a roll call vote but Nancy had sent them all home before a vote could be taken. Unconstitutional to not have every congressman on record for this ungodly bill.
Old news, moot. Sent before the vote. Massey was right but it’s crazy to fight unwinnable war. Make your point loud and live to find another day.
Exactly. Trump should have saved his ire for Pelosl.
Big, Big, Mistake.
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
So you think it was ok for Trump to say, “Throw Massie out of the party?”
Oh, no. They’re doing it in plain sight, but don’t care. This voice-vote crap just gives everyone weasel-cover to deny they attached their name to The Mother of all Porkulus.
Heard it and he was right!
I stand with Massie. This crap bill is not MAGA!
Didn’t Trump double down?
Nancy had no problem holding up the bill for a week in an attempt to add every liberal pork plan. Cut and pasted ready to go. Too many made it through in the end
I get that President Trump had no choice but to get out ahead of this nonsense for political expediency. But this massive spending bill should have had some accountability. President Trump throwing a hissy fit over this is beneath him. He is working to hard and should try to get a little more sleep.
Trump is so wrong on this. Also, why doesn’t he pardon Roger Stone et al.?
Agree. I agree with Trump as much as anyone on FR, but, he was wrong on this one.
The Constitution must remain paramount, or, the Dims win. He needs to publicly apologize to the Congressman for insisting on following the Constitution.
I’d have to look at the rest of what Massie has done.
But this was a stupid stupid act on behalf of Massie.
It didn’t make him look good. It didn’t make Republicans look good. It didn’t have any positives.
So I’m not upset with Trump’s call at all.
The guy wanted publicity. He got Presidential level of publicity.
If every American got $1200, that would be under 25% of the total bill cost.
I’m having a problem with this.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) did the right thing. Our representatives need to be held accountable for their actions. I wish he were my representative.
