Representative Thomas Massie is one of the primary Alligator Emoji antagonists. His intended mission is always to undermine efforts by any MAGA policy or objective, and to sow division in order to maintain his purpose on behalf of people who do not have America’s interests in mind.
Thomas Massie has been bad news for a long time and is ABSOLUTELY, UNDENIABLY a walking visible representation of the attitude, disposition and intents of the narrow-minded tribe that travels under the DeSantis banner.
Yesterday, in his latest operation to divide the MAGA base, which is his primary mission – and has been for a long time, Thomas Massie used the background sentiment of distrust in the FBI, which is valid – but in this example also serves his purpose, to claim the FBI was targeting ‘whistleblowers’ who have grifted themselves into optimal financial position around the issue of the J6 pipe bomber.

At a certain point, everyone eventually gets sick of the Massie operation. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has reached that point.
[BONGINO – X] “Congressman Massie, When Director Patel and I entered on duty in our leadership positions in the FBI we had our hands full, but we were happy to be part of the President’s team, and we still are.
Despite the multitude of challenges we faced, one of our first initiatives was to aggressively pursue a new strategy to investigate the January 6 pipe bomb, terror attack. We brought in new personnel to take a look at the case, we flew in police officers and detectives working as TFOs (task force officers) to review FBI work, we conducted multiple internal reviews, held countless in person and SVTC meetings with investigative team members, we dramatically increased investigative resources, and we increased the public award for information in the case to utilize crowd-sourcing leads.”
“This is only a small sample of the work the FBI personnel and leadership team have put into this critical investigation.
When I spoke with you yesterday a little after 8am ET (screenshots attached), I offered you an in-person brief on our work. We spoke for ten minutes.
I called you back a bit after 7:30pm ET to again make that offer. You didn’t answer and have yet to call me back.
Despite this, you continue to imply that the Director and I are targeting investigators in the case. This is disgusting, even by the low standards many have for politicians. You know my number, and you’re free to call me anytime. But it’s easier to tweet and throw BS bombs.
Yes, our leadership team will be meeting with FBI team members today, and we will avail them of all the whistleblower resources they need to disclose ANY evidence of malfeasance in the prior administration. And we will ask about threads that may have gone un-pulled under prior leadership, because we are passionate about solving this case.
But a week of near 24-hour work on RECENT open-source leads in the case has yet to produce a breakthrough, and some of the media reporting regarding prior persons of interest is grossly inaccurate and serves only to mislead the public.
I proudly serve in this administration, and I proudly work with Director Patel to reform and advance the crime fighting and national security missions of the FBI. We would love to have you as a partner in this mission, rather than a dog barking behind a fence.” {SOURCE}
While I have my differences with positions and actions of the FBI for a long time, what Massie is trying to do with this pre-existing, background sentiment deserves the full pushback he is receiving from Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
Massie has been playing a game for a long time. It is a toxic and divisive game, and he deserves full dispatch.
“It is anger at politicians who are not team players. GOP is a team, like it or not.”
Bullshit. Congressmen are not there rubber stamp any idiotic idea Trump, Johnson or Thune come up with. Massie doesn’t sign on to new wars and Trump’s foreign adventures whether it’s Ukraine, Israel, or Venezuela.... and he doesn’t sign on budget busting bills like the BBB. And he doesn’t think Trump is in the right to hide the Epstein files.
These things are well known, so don’t come at him at expect him to support this crap out of toxic loyalty.
No, the dirtbags are the ones who have not arrested a single FBI agent from J6 or Arctic Frost, nor that Capitol Police woman who set the hoax bombs.
I have zero hate for Jews. In fact, my business partner is an Orthodox Jew from Long Island, and I respect him very much.
On the other hand, Israel as a state is a modern invention, and has little to do with the Nation of Israel from the Bible. Israel and their elites have sown death and destruction across the Middle East and the rest of the world since they took power in 1948. They currently enjoy a stranglehold on US politics, and the world would be better off if they didn't exist as a political entity. Note that I am NOT saying that Jews should not exist as a people, I am saying that the elites of the State of Israel have abused their position on the world stage and need to be knocked down a peg.
Let's return Jerusalem to administration by a Christian empire.
No Dartoid is correct. Sundunce is either an idiot or else he has some kind of perverse DeSantis infatuation thing that he should seek help for.
” MAGA does not advance one inch by wasting time on Epstein.”
MAGA does not advance by covering up that Israeli spy ring, or for the bankers and billionaires who were visiting his underage brothel and involved in his shady finance schemes.
We get guys like Bill Gates who was Epstein’s constant companions coming at us with there assaholic lectures.
He and all the others need to be completely exposed so they can be shamed and driven out of the public square.
Trump and the GOP keep shooting Massie in the back.
I believe in Bongino’s integrity. I get a vibe from Massie. I can’t put my finger on it. But it’s a gut feeling I have against Massie. My gut feeling has never led me astray.
That talking point gets repeated a lot, but there are no examples where Massie's vote changed the outcome, and in a number of examples Massie voted the same way as other Republicans.
But that isn't true. Massie's actual voting record aligns closely with conservative and Republican positions.
Assuming all those guilty, how does that create jobs in USA?
If you are looking for purity and perfection, politics is the wrong place to look.
But when you attack someone for political reasons, it's common to throw in every argument you can, however tangential or irrelevant.
It's part of the pile on.
I guess you've run out of rational arguments.
I think any administration would probably do the same as Trump is right now if it is indeed an intelligence operation. It’s not right, but that’s the political reality. Imagine what would happen after it was revealed a honeypot trap was run by a domestic or foreign ally intelligence agency using underage US citizens. All the air in the political space would instantly be sucked out of the room, not to mention what the intelligence agencies might do.
It would explain a lot, the sweetheart deals, Acosta’s supposed explanation to the Trump vetting team, the reason why Biden didn’t use it against Trump, the reason why Trump isn’t releasing it.

I guess you didn't read what I responding to.
I guess you didn't read what I was responding to.
Exactly. I have no problem with someone voting their conscience, but when there are key votes with razor thin margins, you must take one for the team.
I would have to research your assertion, but it is irrelevant for this discussion. Why not vote to open the government in solidarity with your GOP colleagues? Is Massie the only one allowed to vote his conscience? Other Reps take one for the team, but Massie gets a pass?
The FBI must still be filled with Deep State operatives, who slow-walk Patel and Bongino’s directives.
