James D. Smith is the mayor of Cynthiana, KY, in Massie’s district; former pastor, popular conservative. It’s time to put together the money and ground game to primary Massie.

a long time ago, Pres. Trump gave props to the RATS by saying something akin to “what they do right is stick together)

He’s not a loser, just fiscally responsible.

I think that energy is better spent on fighting for the bills that come out of the House. There was little chance the Speaker vote would go to anyone other than Johnson.

Trump is making a list and checking it twice, and whoever is on it better take my advice - and leave Congress!

Hakeem grandstanding is making me wanna puke. I can’t watch it any more. Switching from Newsmax to Bar Rescue or Below Deck. ANYthing is better than watching that blowhard AH pontificate and get roaring applause from the SOS treasonous Democrats.

This has NOTHING to do with principals, it had to do with Massie’s narcissism and fragile little ego

Do you know this about Massie?

Top DeSantis Ally Rep. Massie Calls McCarthy Ouster ‘An Unmitigated Disaster.’ [February 7, 2024

or this?

Massie somehow convinced himself to vote for McCarthy 15 times, so this principled purist routine of his is just an act.

I agree!

There has to be strong consequences and NOW is the time!

Johnson is on notice now, MAGA or removal. There is no other choice.

...we have party that does nothing while the rats steal 10-15 House seats ...

With a Justice Department about to actually champion Justice combined with mass deportations the Rats may very well find themselves on the losing end of a Mid Term election that would otherwise have gone in their favor.
