@RepThomasMassie

It happened again.

The House and Senate convened briefly today in empty chambers to block @realDonaldTrump from making recess appointments.

The tax rate adjustment (would not have been needed if it wasn’t temporary from PDJT’s 1st term) was only one part of the BBB...the other parts (massive deficit spending) was the issue for Massie/Rand P./(& me). A few of the BBB tax breaks are temporary this time around too....bad move....(”Trump accounts”, “No tax on auto loan interest”, “No tax on overtime”, and “No tax on tips” are all temporary.

If they get to vote on the appointment, they get to hold out, negotiate for something that benefits them. The ol’ quid pro quo.

“Because they still are against him and MAGA. They want him and us to fail. Uniparty still rules.”

I blame the fools who keep reelecting them. RINOs should never be elected to a second term.

This is interesting and Massie keeps pointing it out. Some of you are so wrong about him... including Trump I'm afraid...

You are quite the propagandist, RandFan. Everything that has been said about him is true.

And of course so is Massie - trying to now act like he supports Trump now his polls are down to 19% among GOP primary voters in his district?

Massie voted with the democrats. He is an idiot just like Rand Paul. Fortunately, Massie will be gone next year.

I think Trump simply doesn’t want to use the recess appointment system. The appointments will happen.

Nothing wrong with Thune. He’s doing a good job. The Dems are disruptors...that’s what they do.

Wake up....Trump doesn't want to make recess appointments.

He's busy with more important things...like stopping a war..

This recess appointment matter isn't up to Johnson or Thune...these pro-forma proceedings are at the direction of the President.

Would the people doing this stop if they felt physically in danger by doing so?
