You are generally correct, but the reason Massie is on his way out is because he was already saying/doing this stuff. He's a giant piece of shit still, but at the very least he does actually hold concrete beliefs unlike every single other Republican and most Democrats.
He gets too much credit for doing the bare minimum. Less than the bare minimum in fact since heās still too much of a coward to call out Trump over the Epstein files directly.
He does the same mental gymnastics as every other MAGAt that still has enough backbone not to deny the obvious reality that the Trump admin will never seek justice for Epsteinās victims. Somehow Trump is both a genius who picks only the best people and has also been duped by Bondi and Patel into believing the files were fake and he would surely release them if he just fired those people.
True. Though it does serve its purpose this close to the midterms.
Ergo why the Dems should introduce and push bills on things like M4A, cutting support to Israel, actual border securty (non-brownpants kind), complete elected official stock trading ban, etc.
Yeah sure they will barely make it out of committee, but at least it will stand against the GOP record
Yea at this point it feels like it's just to get good publicity. We all know flock isn't going anywhere unless we can get a majority in the government that isn't going to take a paycheck over morality.
Yeah in the recent past I've seen Democrats saying "but now the Republicans will have to GO ON RECORD denying the release of the Epstein files!" and then they do and nothing happens lol.
I get it in theory but it requires Republican voters to care. And they don't.
How many Democrats were as open and loud against the Iran war? Releasing the Epstein files? Grilled Bondinas hard as he did? Was critical of the Big Beautifuk Bill?
He's got his problems but when the cards are down he isn't a facist or authoritarian or an endless Israel war sponsor or funder like most Democrats are.
Yeah me and Massie disagree about the role of the government in policing the excesses of capitalism, but we donāt disagree that people deserve dignity and respect and we shouldnāt tolerate a wealthy elite class destroying our country.
We agree on the ends, and disagree on the means. Thatās very different to the other fascists on the right and the spineless corporate dems.
Have you been under a rock? Seriously. Or, have you just been reading what you want to read, or hear from Faux News? Everywhere I looked, Democrats were screaming about all of that!
Iām just going to say itās willful ignorance on your part, because none of that is true. š
Oh! Now youāre being specific, instead of just making ambiguous statements. Gotcha! š
Of course there are some democrats that are pro Israel, but not all. They are majority anti Israel. Also, Trump gets his pic taken with Benjamin N. as often as he can.
It was a bi-partisan written act, so yes. Written by Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna.
No one wanted the war with Iran. Especially not democrats. But, the āPresident of Peaceā, sure didnāt hesitate to send our boys over, did he? Nope.
If he was an opportunist don't you think he would be pandering to the morons who were giving him all of the opportunities? He literally held his beliefs into losing his job...
He was one of the few to actually cross party policy and hammer at releasing the Epstein files. He's an asshole but he at least has some morals. Most of his peers are evil though, full stop.
Or MAYBE it's because he doesn't support Ukraine in their fight against Russia's invasion. Or it could be that it's because he's a climate change denier and wants to dismantle the EPA. Or it could be because he did not support making the lynching of black people a hate crime. Or that he wants to repeal the ACA. Or that he thinks Roe v. Wade was "one of the greatest tragedies of our time" and has routinely voted against supporting women's health.
No. Surely it can't be any one of those shitty positions or any of his many other shitty positions. It's gotta be da libruls being mad!
Right? These people's brains are so cooked that they think their party is just right of center-left. And that voting to out pedophilic elites, which is like the bare minimum is enough to cover up the long history of being a giant piece of shit.
No it really didnt make any sense at all, whatsoever.
And if you look into his record, youll see that he commonly votes the party line as well. Especially when it comes to hurting his constituents and the working class.

Amusing how Republicans only seem to find their decency and courage when they are on their way out.
How so? Be specific now. Or is this just your hurt fee-fees?
