Interesting 🤔

[Just mythoughts]

Sack of hot air ... How many pieces of ‘legislation’ has he sponsored .... Has he ever voted ‘for’ any continuing resolution, ever?

[HYPOCRACY]

He’s right. Especially with the copy and paste of USAID funding. Rubio has cut USAID by 83% why can’t USAID be cut by 83% in the CR?

[Macho MAGA Man]

(Rubio has cut USAID by 83% why can’t USAID be cut by 83% in the CR?)

Good point!

“Has he ever voted ‘for’ any continuing resolution, ever?”

If you watched the video you would know the answer is yes.

[lurk]

There are too many news stories and versions of the news stories to keep up.

I am for the bills that lead us to a balanced budget and lower taxes, whichever ones they are. The best way to tell is to watch the ones over which the Dems are flinging hands and saliva.

“How many pieces of ‘legislation’ has he sponsored”

Quite a few including one to End the FED.

[Nextrush]

The bill passed why the need to cremate Massie unless this is for the lobbyists behind wasteful spending in Washington enshrined in the legislation.

Even President Trump admitting more needs to be done to change things this CR isn’t perfect.

Massie is in the spirit of DOGE which so far has cut some foreign aid and laid off a lot of workers. But there is more pork that needs to leave the room IMHO.

Massie single-handedly opposed the first two trillion dollars of COVID spending five years ago this month.

That was nothing but inflation generating spending and debt and history has proven him right.

[Just mythoughts]

It was a rhetorical question ... I already knew the answer ... The gas bag is a media whore... along with a number of other so called Republicans... I wonder how well Massie’s wealth portfolio has done since he first took an oath?

[Nextrush]

What’s the endgame here creating divisions in our ranks? I stand for Massie. Nothing negative to say about others as in the trashing of the congressman.

[dynoman]

That’s great satire!! Exactly what an incoherent Massie hater would blabber.

LOL perfect-

“He revealed that Mike Johnson, who is no stranger to cutting deals with Democrats..”

Massie is the one who voted with Hakeem Jeffries and the Dems. Repeat, Massie sided with the Dems.

The vote was 217-213 with all Republicans, except Massie, voting for the resolution which was backed by Trump. And again, Massie joined the Dems in voting against Trump.

they have his net worth at anywhere between $846,000 and $4.6 million- as of 2024

He’s a smart guy but I’m tired of this “principled” shit. We’re in a war, you can fight for your principles after it’s won, and if it isn’t, they won’t make any difference. There comes a time to stand together and put your personal crap aside. We’d be better off without him in congress.

And that point seems to be lost on Massie and his backers.

👍👍

And the GOP leadership got a D to support it by the way.

The legislation passed why the need to keep beating ourselves up over this.

Stuck on stupid is NOT the way to go through life... I do not hate the millionaire, just got to wonder about his means and methods... given just how unsuccessful he has been in literally accomplishing anything but getting media attention.

But you keep carrying his water...
