Why Republicans (RINO's) hate Thomas Massie

[dblack]

There are children being trafficked and raped every day, it's probably going on right now without Epstein in the picture at all. Putting all of the focus and energy into something that took place decades ago is accomplishing nothing to help those that are suffering right now.

That's quite the rationalization.

Note: I'm not saying it was rational.

The "not a Democrat, I'm libertarians" on this board are like a person born a serf in feudal England who thinks he is smarter than all the other serfs, and hates the feudal system. Maybe he is actually a little smarter, but not as smart as he thinks. He has some of options as a smart person in that situation:

-He can try to be the most successful serf possible, using his wits to earn favor from his lord and advancing to a better position than digging potatoes all day, like blacksmith, or butler, or steward.
-He can move to the city, work for the merchants and save enough to become a merchant himself. He's a serf, not a slave.
-He can try to become a knight, or soldier, earning status by bearing arms and advancing up the ranks.
-Or . . . he can be Dennis . . .

Uh -- you didn't see that by my statements. I didn't say that.

Ok. Maybe you prefer "police who keep their identities a secret by wearing masks"?

This depends on the treatment of cops by the public. When the public follows cops' home, when the public publishes their names and addresses. and threatens them and their families, masks are needed.
This is just like cops who wear helmets, as those on January 6 did, armored to the teeth, it can be a cause of concern.

There's nothing to defend Trump from, only those like you who suffer from TDS seem to think so.,

Politics is a team sport. When you vote with the other team you get benched, its not that complicated.

Yeah God forbid our representatives vote for what they and their constituents believe to be what’s best for the country.

Could you identify any of the armored cops that day at the Capitol in DC on Jan 6?

But Massie votes with the GOP 91% of the time. And the only time he votes against the GOP, is when they try to spend too much, get us into unnecessary wars or assault our constitution.

Common sense says that the voters should be supporting him and holding the others accountable. After all, the GOP is supposed to represent us. We're not supposed to bow to them and their bad governing.

He votes with the Democrats allowing them to thwart Republican aims as well as his own. The Dems are not interested in saving taxpayer money, but when he votes with them it causes shutdowns that we cannot afford. Question: Did he support the spending of funds for the illegals to maintain their medical care?

 

[Robert W]

Not sure. I'd need to review my score card.

If Republicans want to disown liberty, limited government, fiscal prudence, etc ... that's fine. But you can't have it both ways. You can't claim to be conservatives, spend like a drunken sailor and run with secret police.

Glad you conditioned your statement by saying IF. Republicans are famous for promoting liberty, limited government and fiscal prudence. We are fought with by Democrats.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

LMAO That has never been true. Republicans figured out how to SCAM taxpayers to line their own pockets first. Democrats used to harp on this all the time. Then Democrats figured out how to SCAM their share of the government spending (cough) climate change (cough) and they shut up about it.

Now those gas bags on both sides of the isle borrow trillions, they get their bribes, kickbacks and SCAM money and they sit in Washington laughing at voters.

Which side of the island do you inhabit? The word is AISLE.

Just not in the way that I thought he would

That is because you are an idiot and incapable of rational thought. No one cares what you think.

MAGA wasn't supposed to be about Trump. If Trump has anything to do with MAGA, is was because he was supposed to be more like Massie. And a LOT less like the democrats.

Where's the massive spending cuts? Minding our own business? Finding, investigating and prosecuting pedophiles, And all those other things that would actually make America great again.

They got this stupid idea that if we all just left Trump alone, that he'd fix everything. The fact of the matter is, none of us have anything to do with Trumps decisions, except base our opinions on what his decision are.

The only thing Massie has against Trump are his decisions that contradict what Trump was supposed to do, in the first place.

We can't even get DOGE back.

Trump is the father of MAGA. Massie rules with Democrats at times. Then he is a RINO. Trump has performed great as most Americans still believe. He cut our taxes. He removed taxes from a lot of citizens. He is working to improve our medical needs. Trump is killing regulations that we hate.

Like I said earlier, $90 Trillion reasons to make a deal

Just say no to drugs, Frank!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

He didn't vote no on the "save act." He voted on something in the save act. Something that would've suspended the rules and allowed them to introduce funding without allowing 24 hours to read the funding part.

Funny how no other Republicans had a problem with it. He couldn't convince anyone else? How is that for poor leadership?

 

[Robert W]

You won't like it, neither would our amazing MIC. Trump could have dictated any peace terms he wanted, he's Luca Brasi but he acted like Fredo

I would have said: Russia gets all of Donbass and Crimea, Ukraine stays Neutral and the USA and Ukraine sign an alliance with Russia on natural resources. Trump could have threatened to suspend ALL aid and logistic support

Zelensky's Owners would have had a fit because they're making a bloody fortune on the war....but it useless. It would never happen under Trump. Trump acts like he's a man under orders as well. It explains a lot of his walking back his grand and great and transformational promises

The EU is being bled dry and liquidated by this "war", this charade. That's the real point here!

I suspect you have a love affair with our hateful media.
Zelensky governs the country that was invaded. You really want to reward Russia.

My gripe against Trump is it seems he is wanting that too.

Massie for Republicans is like Fetterman for Democrats.

Neither are the Republicans. Who the **** do you think youre kidding?

Other republicans have no problem spending more than the democrats. Massie no vote on the "suspending the rules" was a good call. The RINO's care more about their loyalty to the swamp and Trump, than what's right or wrong.

Massie doesn't play that leftist game. And the RINO's can't stand it. He is what Republicans only claim to be.

Trump is turning into the step father of MAGA.

Trump loyalist will lie or embellish things Trump has done.

He hasn't cut taxes. He kept the tax cuts from expiring.
He's not eliminated any taxes.
His tariffs were tax increase to American consumers.
"He is working to improve our medical needs"...... I'm not even sure what that means.

You'll get no argument from me about Trump cutting regulations. I praise him and any president who does this.

But something you're completely missing with Massie.

Massie also supports massive cuts in regulations. Even more than Trump.
He also supports massive cuts in spending. Trump doesn't.
Massie wants to end government agencies and programs. Trump just talks about it. Then funds them more later. Like the Dept. of Ed. Trump has said many times he wants to gut it and eliminate it. But just a week or so ago, the Dept. of Ed. got a $200 million raise in funding.
Massie wants DOGE to be permanent. Trump ended it.

I could go on with examples like this for days.
