Massie literally should have contacted PDJT first and described his concerns and asked his advice...much younger to much older and teamwork could have ensued...now Pubbies look weak and divided...of course, small chance it was an act?

Voters must be bought, at about $25,000 a vote.
USA, #1 in voter venality.

I enjoy being lectured to by Lurch every so often. Reminds me why I’m a right-winger.

It would be like asking pigs individually if they want to run to a feed trough.

The only way unanimous consent works is if nobody objects. Therefore, if a bill passes by unanimous consent, every individual member of Congress can be fairly blamed (or credited) for supporting it regardless of whether or not there was a roll call vote.
Demanding a recorded vote and debate at that point is just theater that accomplishes nothing other than delay and inconvenience.

Naaa...we sold out for far less than that at $1200.

The only patriot in Congress! Very disturbing how Kerry and Trump reacted almost exactly the same. This whole intentional destruction of the economy and this suicide pact bill ends voting for Trump by me. I dont vote for socialism.

I support Massie on principle, but it was not a good move politically. This bill was going to pass anyway, and by Thursday we were at a point where Nancy Pelosi was Public Enemy #1 in blocking it.
This bill passed in the Senate by a 96-0 margin. Did you really expect President Trump to VETO it?

Nope. There is a time to put ideological dogmas and political ego on hold. This was it.
His pointlessly tilting at a windmill he was never going to knock over probably just cost him his seat.
We need him fighting there when he can win, not making futile pointless political gestures.

Massie should be given a medal for being a hero. President Trump was wrong on this one when he attacked him.
Not to mention the bill was guaranteed to pass anyways, so what's the problem?

If Maddie was just being a Patriot, more would have went along with him. He was the only one and was just showboating.

It really pisses me off whenever I hear the likes of John Kerry or Mitt Romney, two of the biggest slime balls on this planet, criticize someone else. Massey was trying to point out that this voice vote protects the members of congress from owning the bill.
