As a child, Amash often suffered the indignities of an atomic wedgie...
...which no doubt led to his later attraction to the Jeb Bush "Please clap" wing of the GOP

Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) knocked President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday for his response to backlash over attacking Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.).
"Dude, just stop," Amash tweeted, linking to a tweet from Trump.
Trump suggested Saturday that he and Lewis work together to focus on the nation's inner cities after a number of Democratic and Republican lawmakers slammed him for saying Lewis was "all talk" and "no action."

Hello All - the Real Question here has nothing to do whether Just in A Mash is a Patsy Ryan Bu**Boy or not. Who cares? After all, in due course, [meaning, in Trumpian Time, not long from now] Patsy Ryan will be sleeping in a van down by the river, politically speaking, and Just in A Mash will have blown another ten grand or so on Ancestry.com true stories of his life based on his urine samples. No, no folks, the real question here is, when were John Lewis, [D-Ga] afro-bigot race hustler non pareil, and Elijah Cummings, [D-Md] afro-bigot race hustler non pareil, cleaved apart, being as how it is categorically, ineluctably, not to mention beyond anyone’s doubt that these two BLOCK_HEADED idiots were conjoined at birth. D.W. Griffith, call your office.
That GOP hack truly is a Ryan butt boy.
This guy in several characters just destroyed his political future. Keep bowing down before you Marxist betters like Lewis, Justin - What a wanker!
Justin, dude get your head out of your sphincter.
The established media if they are smart are going nuts. Their audience largely hates them and they are getting by pasted.
Oh this is wonderful.
Why do Republicans need to kiss the rats ass?
The inner cities of this nation are in the grip of an evil that Mr. Lewis has chosen to be a part of. Donald Trump is the first man in a long, long, long time to try and liberate Mr. Lewis’s constituents.
Trump should keep it up, not tone it down.
Mixed feelings on this. I think it’s good to take on Lewis, who is an elderly fraud and one of the five billion people who now claim they were on the balcony where MLK was shot, but Trump should let it go at a certain point, that is, after he’s gotten his response across. Lewis is not important enough for Trump to waste a lot of time on him.
California Republican Congressman Devin Nunes callied Amash “Al Qaeda’s best friend in Congress”;
As Friedersdorf of The Atlantic notes, “Amash voted against the reauthorization of the Patriot Act, favored a measure to repeal indefinite detention, and opposed reauthorization of the FISA Amendments Act.”[36]
In 2014, he was one of eight members of Congress who voted “Nay” on a $225 million package to restock Israel’s Iron Domemissile defenses, which passed with 398 members in support.
Amash co-sponsored an amendment to the NDAA that would ban indefinite military detention and military trials so that all terror suspects arrested in the United States would be tried in civilian courts.
Amash is a frequent critic of the National Security Agency’s anti-terrorism surveillance programs.[13][51][52] He voted against the 2011 reauthorization of the USA PATRIOT Act,[53] the 2012 reauthorization of the FISA Amendments Act,[54] and the USA Freedom Act.[55]
Amash is a second-generation Arab-American of Palestinian Christian and Syrian Greek Orthodox descent.[11] His father, Attallah, is a Palestinian business owner, whose family emigrated to the United States in 1956

GOP lawmaker on Trump's Lewis tweets: 'Dude, just stop'
Thanks, MarvinStinson.
He recently voted NAY on the US Congressional resolution condemning the U.N. for its anti-Israel resolution where Obama had US UN ambassador Samantha Power abstain.
No. No. Keep the tweets coming. They are setting the agenda. Trump is going to own the press through Twitter.
“After taking office, I think it would be wise for DT to limit the tit-for-tat tweets.”
Agreed. Twitter seems prone to goofy abbreviations and slang (like “dude”). I too think Trump should limit it once he is in office.
In the book about Reagan “What I saw at the Revolution” by Peggy Noonan, she talked about how anything said in a speech had to be vetted by all the various cabinets and groups. Whatever was said in a speech became “policy”. For example his “tear down this wall” statement. The State Department kept taking it out as it wasn’t policy, and they didn’t want it to be our policy.
Reagan wrote it back in on the way to the speech. I hope that Trump will do the same on many issues - but after some thought and not just a quick tweet.
NeverTrumpers can kiss my azz and so can anyone who defends them. DUDE.
I don’t care.
Who is he? Well it would have been Nice if the Hill had answered that question and told readers about Amash’s prior history regarding Trump...especially since they even reported on him...
1. Amash is a strident #NeverTrumper, ranked in the top 100 #NeverTrumpers...

2. In October, he even called for Trump to withdraw from the race.

3. He was even on the list of candidates to run on Third Party Ticket against Trump last Spring.
