. Massie could’ve blocked this Debt Limit Bill due the House Rules Committee Rules - and the Big Republican Deficit Hawk from Kentucky folded for Joe Biden!
Just three days ago or so Massie was saying Republicans couldn’t stop the Spending in the past DUE TO TRUMP.
Step right up and see your Fraud, Thomas Massie.
.
Biden would’ve gave it all away for no more Debt Limit until after his last Election.
They gave that away. And they know that In Lame Duck, they’ll get many more unaccountable Voted to do the Spending Orgies.
Gave it away. Joe left early for the Beach and was AWOL.
No matter. Massie and McCarthy gonna make their money
These are the people the American people vote for. We only have ourselves to blame. I'm not sure what the point of this thread even is. It's just silly whining and yelling. Did you yell when Trump spent more money than any President in history?
People want spending. They loves the pork.
.
He’s doing the Mitt Romney BS, let’s be the bigger people and enslave your Grandkids, not ours!
Other People’s money spends so smoothly
.
.
People voted the House Republican.
I didn’t hear this in the Talking Points and Campaign promises.
Anthony, I found a link for your story.
Debt ceiling: Massie files payment prioritization amendment ahead of rules vote
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/house/debt-ceiling-massie-payment-prioritization-amendment
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) filed an amendment Tuesday that would require the Treasury to prioritize payments using a five-tiered structure and indicated he would vote in favor of the debt deal negotiated by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and President Joe Biden.
Massie announced during a House Rules Committee hearing that he would vote in favor of the debt limit bill. He was considered the swing vote and didn’t disclose how he would vote until the Tuesday hearing.
“I anticipate voting for this rule,” Massie said. “When people want to express their ideology, the floor of the House on the actual final passage of the bill is the place to do that. [We] owe them an honest shake and a playing field that doesn’t change.”
The tiered payment structure he introduced would prioritize different payments. Tier 1 would include public debt, Social Security, and Medicare payments. Tier 2 would include payments for the Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs. Tier 3 would include payments for programs not designated in a tier. Tier 4 would include compensation for the executive branch and some other government activities. Tier 5 would include compensation for members of Congress.
Massie is considered the GOP swing vote in the Rules hearing on the debt limit bill. When going in, he says he’s made a decision but wouldn’t announce how he’ll vote.
Meanwhile, he has filed an amendment that would require Treasury to prioritize payments using tiered structure
Looks like in Massie’s Tier 5, they might have given themselves a raise in compensation.
“literally everyone in Washington is a traitor and a liar”
I worked closely with a lot of DC folks over many decades.
They are almost all traitors and liars.
A good friend of mine got elected to the US Congress many years ago—he was a great guy with total integrity. He fought .gov spending craziness tooth and nail while he was there. He was very articulate. This is the guy, btw:

He was voted out in the next election. It was not even close.
A hair comb?
.
Thank you sir.
He’s offering up excuses for his overwhelming desire to save Corrupt Joe Biden.
Massie blamed Trump for Govt Spending in the last week, and, as fate would have it, it all came down to him, and it turned out all his self-serving Lies have been exposed.
Great Conservative lecturing on the damage of the Debt gets caught sleeping with Adam Schiff and slinking down to Joe’s Beach House.

Dump Caves.

Massie had a piece he wrote that Taxes, spending, and the crushing Debt were killing the Economy - up on his website, he took it down.
Poseur
.
Massie seems like a clown.
So Massie, who supports DeSantis, sides with McCarthy, who sides with Trump.
A pox on all of them.
DeSantis has condemned this agreement.
Trump is silent so far.
Erik take your DeSantis praising elsewhere!!!
