I never heard of him until today. How "famous" can he be?
Being called “a third rate grandstander who should be thrown out of the Republican Party” by the president is never a good thing.
This is one of the most embarrassing threads I’ve ever seen on FR. So many here willing I see the country die for $1200. This boil should have been flushed down the toilet with Nancy’s ripped up sheets from the SOTU address. Trump should have insisted on removing the socialist pork but he went along with it. I’m truly disgusted by this whole thing.
Massie: Let’s follow the Constitution
Literally the Entire Establishment: wOw, YoU mUsT wAnT cHiLDrEn tO dIe
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) was right..He wanted to get everyone on record.. They would have to vote on the house floor.. He did the best he could.. I would have voted no on this monstrosity!!!
Generally I like Massie. He was not wrong about the roll call vote but given the circumstances this time I believe it was uneccesary.
By allowing unanimous consent, they effectively ALL supported the bill. Federal Income Tax rates will now climb. The possibility of smaller government died.
I fear our once-great republic just died from pre-existing conditions worsened by COVID-19.
"Lawmakers ask for unanimous consent so that they can speed up what they believe to be uncontroversial business that would otherwise be delayed by holding a vote or going through the rules. Among the common unanimous consent (UC) requests made by legislators in hearings or on the floor of their chamber:
“I ask unanimous consent to enter [something] into the record.” “I ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks.” “I ask unanimous consent that [a specific staffer] be granted floor privileges.” “I ask unanimous consent to dispense with the quorum call.” “I ask unanimous consent that the bill be considered passed without objection.”"

Uncalled for... I’m still with President Trump, but Massie is correct.
Unless i am not understanding what is going on..which happens once in awhile..i don’t think this was an offense worthy of removal from the GOP..
The same GOP that let Trump dangle in the wind the first 2? years he took office?
Also, i can’t get past i thought it was disaster relief bill? not a mammoth Stimulus Bill?
Not to long ago many on the right started a little movement called the TEA party Maybe you heard of it.
The TEA in TEA party stood for Taxed Enough Already.
NOt really sure what has changed but now we are not only spending more but the biggest Stimulus in US History!?
And we are being told it’s a good thing?
Donald is wrong about this one. Very, very wrong.
Well Trump is not perfect, we all knew that from the beginning, and he does have a temper
Though I would really like Congress to introduce follow-on legislation stripping the extraneous hitch-hiking parasite measures out of this bill.
