Massie: House suspended rules for Trump bill

X ^ | June 5 | Rep. Thomas Massie

[RandFan]

Things will not change in DC until the US is on its knees

Maybe that is the plan??

[1Old Pro]

Elon is right, members of congress didn’t even know what was in this bill until the night it passed.

Sounds like every other bill passed in the last 100 years.

>>members of congress didn’t even know what was in this bill until the night it passed.

“You have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it.”

[HYPOCRACY]

Massie has never had one piece of legislation he sponsored pass into law. The guy is a useless eater.

[Texas Eagle]

BUT the Speaker circumvented this rule with a “managers amendment"

Right out of Animal Farm. "All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others. "

Just because we are eager to see the BBB passed successfully, that doesn't mean we should ignore important updates like this. We DEFINITELY want to know what's getting tossed in there... especially the poison pills that could bring the entire thing crumbling down.

Massie may not be your favorite guy, but this is important, and something to keep a sharp eye on. Massie may be doing the MAGA movement the biggest favor ever by pointing this out.

[RandFan]

This is what the Senate is for? Exactly this.

Put the brakes on .

[Nextrush]

The “Truth Detector” just went off.

[Teacher317]

From what little I can find online, it looks like Johnson's changes in the manager's amendment are necessary for helping it get passed. Good. I'm less worried now.

So Rep Massie... what's in the Amendment that you don't like, other than the number of hours you have to read it?

[Teacher317]

This is what the Senate is for? Exactly this.

(Once upon a time, there was a very different answer to that question... but then the Progressives destroyed the Senate with the 17th Amendment.)

[antidemoncrat]

Nothing in DC will change until Congre$$ becomes Congress once more.

The Trump bill is not beautiful

[blackdog]

If congress did its only real job defined in the constitution, they would hold regular order budgeting hearings with the agencies in government and hear their budget requests presented in detail, by line item.

At this point no agency even knows what they are spending on what? Just "Feed Me,plus 20%" omnibus mayhem at the last minute. "Hey it wasn't our fault we had no idea that was in the bill!". Shysters.

[RandFan]

The Senate will show that

And the ensuing debate

[JayGalt]

1100 page bill....What were these monumental changes?

[Lee'sGhost]

Perhaps. And if so, it was wrong all those years as well. Perhaps that the point you were making.

[hal ogen]

Probably 1/2 of the senate and the house are oldsters with various oldie mental deficiencies. Even if they read a bill, they likely wouldn’t understand it. They vote however the “leadership” tells them to vote. Pathetic.

[1Old Pro]

Winston Churchill’s quote about democracy: “Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…”.

[RandFan]

They passed the “Federal Reserve Act” in the dead of night on Christmas Eve (illegally some say) circa 1913

He’s right about it going on a long time but it’s no more palatable

[AnthonySoprano]

Massie wanted Trump convicted. Who believes people back home wanted Trump convicted?
