MASSIE: Why isn't the media covering this?
X ^ | Aug 6 | Rep. Thomas Massie

Posted on 08/07/2025 3:18:37 AM PDT by RandFan

@RepThomasMassie

🚨 The Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader are convening pro-forma sessions of Congress in empty chambers during the August recess solely to block President Trump from making recess appointments. Why isn’t the media covering this?

Good for Massie for pointing this out.

It’s a good point he raises, but I think it’s all overblown. Recess appointments aren’t what a lot of people think they are. They only last through the end of the current session of Congress, which means someone appointed today would only serve for less than 18 months.

You aren’t going to get top caliber people to accept roles in Washington under these conditions.

What’s known as a rhetorical question.

We need more Massies. He reminds me of Mr Smith Goes to Washington.

He shines light on their practices

Little wonder they want him gone. He’s a major irritant to both party leaders.

But, even with that, Alberta’s Child, it is another example of the ridiculous ‘rules’ under which these a$$clowns posture, preen, and parade for the cameras (not even their own constituents).
This BS ranks right up there with the whole blue card crap.

The pubbies prove, yet again, they are ill fit to govern.

“He’s the only truly independent Rep. up there”

Right....... he is a maverick/principled/independent/clown It will be ironic if AIPAC funds his opposition to beat his maverick ass.

Massie is desperate to generate some positive publicity for himself. The pro forma sessions have been in the news and discussed ad nausea.

Quelle surprise, the GOPe/uniparty/dem thieves are working with the MSM like they have for decades. Not so much that Massie is correct on this issue but these losers work together to continue to destroy the nation and pile on the $37,000,000,000,000 debt while on vacation, our tax dollars of course.

The Senate confirms presidential nominees. Massie should explain how these pro forma sessions in the HOUSE have anything to do with that process.

Article 2 section 3 their behinds back to work then. If they like their “formalities” their can keep their formalities. The Executive branch has a few Trump cards too.

“...top caliber people to accept roles in Washington...”

If these people were “top caliber” in the first place this country wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in.

This happens all the time. And i don’t mean that in a general sense. It literally happens all the time. And it has for at least a decade.

It’s not “news.”

You’re right. There is a code of silence on this and some other issues.
