Trump is sending mixed messages which is causing this mess.
Creating DOGE to cut government spending.
Wanting to get power back from the MIC.
While at the same time now supporting spending even more money and boosting the MIC?
Massie and Paul are right to question these mixed messages because they don’t make and sense. Many of us are right to wonder about these mixed messages.
It is flip flopping and inconsistent. He needs to make up his mind and stick to it. It is one or the other. It does this country absolutely no good to cut spending but then turn around and spend even more than we were before.
It is illogical and irrational. They cancel each other out...
Trump is supporting one CR.
Trump needs time.
The CR gets him a bit more time.
Which is undoubtedly why Massie now opposes it.
exactly
Massie just needs to ask how Trump plans to balance the budget. He has been sending mixed messages for all his time in office. Nothing new. And it isn’t only one CR.
Sorry. Overly simplistic take. Life isn’t black & white. IRL you need to move towards a goal by taking the best step available. Sometimes that step exacerbates an issue temporarily but it is the best way to achieve your long term goal. There is nothing inconsistent with Trump’s game plan and people that are trying to micromanage each step are acting against America’s long term interest.
Best watch out around here. Talk, like that, that doesn’t go w/ the (R)N(C) narrative & the party/FR fanatics will make sure to take-back/deny you the pom-poms/knee-pads.
Sure is a hoot to see all the ad hominem attacks instead of debating Massie/Rand+ (those damn (L) leaners) on the subject @ hand (IE: ILLEGAL CRs, as Congress hasn’t had a individual appropriation bills/an actual BUDGET in AGES [you know, as is spelled out in the CONSTITUTION]...But just SPEND, SPEND, SPEND like $36T+ is the norm).
So much for the party of ‘small govt’
I don’t see any mixed messaging. In fact the message has never, since before Reagan, been so clear. We all better pull together or we lose the country. These sanctimonious types on the hill spouting off and throwing their weight around are very suspicious. I’m starting to wonder if they are as corrupt as most of their swamp peers and is addicted to power.
The outcome in DC is obvious. Better look at the hand we have been dealt in both houses and find a way to get the job done. Or we lose the country and every freedom associated with it. but your principled politician doesn’t give a rip about anything other than his power trip. He doesn’t give a flying fig about you me or even the country. His financial future is set. Just gotta wonder though. Where does this jerk’s mile high principles fit when there isn’t a country left to flaunt them in? Where does he get his next power fix?
My give a damn is shattered beyond repair. I hope Musk and President Trump bury him in his primary. I myself will happily donate to any challenger!
Sure thing President Openurmind
