So Im going to petition my lawyer with a list of everything I want my wife to do, including making me sammiches and homemade biscuits every morning and feeding them to me after she draws a hot tub for me.

Then Im going to post it in the newspaper and say....see I tried to save the marriage.

This clown needs to stop chasing windmills and learn how to negotiate if he wants something done.

Why isn't Johnson(and therefore Trump) on board with these spending cuts to foreign entities???

MAGA has said over and over and over this was a top priority. Massie is just forcing you to show your hand.

Opposing the lion's share of Massie's proposed cuts should permanently disqualify any candidate from office. The only problem is that Republicans are still globalists at heart.

He's the same piece of shite who led the effort to neuter the DOGE cuts as much as possible.

Congress is useless and crooked. They're all just stealing as much as they can as the house goes up in flames. They have no solution to anything and even if they did, they'd never pass it because it would stop the gravy train.

I bet the shift in the feelings of the NDAA from MAGA types will mirror the return of their neocon nature.

Massie is free to leave the Republican Party as well as you if you feel this way as a libertarian

In America, when you represent the people in the People’s House you appeal to the people. I prefer this method over smoke fill back rooms at DC gay bars with Mike Johnson and his lobbyists butt buddies.

Would Congress be better or worse if there were more “clowns” like Massie instead of the “negotiating types that get stuff done”?

And if you think Massie needs to go, maybe you are part of the problem.

A LOT of that I can get on board with. But the outright prohibition of ANY aid to countries? I can see that as a problem pill.

Reading between the lines there. It’s obvious that Massie knows that wouldn’t be passed and is using it to grandstand.

Start with the foreign aid rife with fraud and start there. Leave as little argument against it as possible while still saving the American taxpayer money. And then hammer on that.

The money leaking out of the US Treasury didn’t happen overnight. Patch the leaks one at a time. Don’t propose a new dam.

There is zero justification to send any money to another country when we're $40 trillion in debt. All foreign aid is a scam imo. It's just another vehicle for the political class to enrich itself off the backs of taxpayers.

You’re easily fooled as Massie has been in congress for years and just now calling for this. Again you’re free to ignore how silent he was before this last year. He also can blame the speaker when he didn’t even put his name in for it.

For whom? The MIC?

You may regard Massie as exposing the GOP and it's MIC and AIPAC puppets as "grandtstanding"; but what Massie is truly exposing is the rank hypocrisy and mercenary positions of GOP weasels who do not give one single shite about America.

quote:

It's ALL fraud. And money-laundering operations. The American people are sick of hundreds of billions flying out of this country.

Massie is also including the revival of the Smith-Mundt Act, which prohibits gubmint-sponsered PROPAGANDA. Got a problem with that as well?

It'll be impossible to "patch" up $37 trillion of debt (aka the looting of America.)

Massie has been calling for cuts to discretionary spending since he has been in office.

Yes money to foreign governments is classified as discretionary. I will save you from having to look it up.
