Well, this sucks. I like a ton of your posts.

So tell me; If we had a congress w/ 400 Thomas Massies or one w/ 400 Donald Trumps, which would lead to a better, freer, more prosperous country?

Same principle. Donny felt disrespected so he put his team of influencers and podcasters to work.

No.

DeSantis was on his side all along. You don't get it. Tulsi. Marco. Most likely Sessions (hidden). When are you going to learn?

A false hypothesis implies any conclusion.

If we had a Congress of only Massies, they would get exactly as much done as Tommy Boy has done by his lonesome.

Bongino has no credibility, as he is himself a fraud.

It was just a thought experiment.

I remember when DOGE was just getting cranked up a little more than a year ago everyone in here was celebrating that the feds would finally be gutting the shite out of spending. The exact opposite happened, w/ Trump's blessing, and all of a sudden every single Trump supporter is totally fine w/ it, and further, they bash the shite out of Massie for supporting the kinds of things Trump did just a year ago.

This has been unfricking believable to witness in real time.

Quit with the binary shite.

I’m not supportive of Trump’s spending.

How has Massie actually affected the spending?

I think they’ve both failed.

Massie is one of 435. I'm sure you've noticed by now that nearly all of those 435 and the other 100 in the senate are in absolute love w/ growing government.

What seems to be the case is that Trump supporters now think limited government types should just fall in line and accept being tools for more growth of government.

Again, it just blows my mind this is what Trump supporters are trying to get thrown out of office;



The problem isn't Massie. The problem is that we have too few Massies. The other big problem is that populism is absolutely rudderless.

No. Do you think conservatism is making speeches?

Cuz that’s all Massie has accomplished.

When did we remove execution as a metric for evaluating politicians?

I just posted his Freedom Index score. He's doing what he said he would do.

Most Republicans, including Trump? Not so much.

It's not Massie's fault that the country is loaded to the gills w/ voters who want more bloated, out of control government and who change their "principles" at the drop of a hat.

Not calling you out here, btw. I'm just talking in general.

This is what I'm talking about. Seems you believe he should just go along w/ having a bigger, more intrusive government. That's what would make him a "good" Republican.

We just disagree completely.

Massie has to go, but Bongino is no authority on anything conservative. Him and Kash are two fellas who never outgrew their fraternity days. 40 year olds behaving like 20 year olds, incapable of doing the grown man job.


frick his podcast, stop giving grifters money

You keep saying that.

But I could defe defend Trump with the same argument you’re using to defend Massie. “He’s just one guy. All of DC is against him.”

It’s an unconvincing argument for either of them.

Why this guy has a big following is beyond me.

Massie is a douche and attention whore on SFP’s poliboard level, but Bongino calling people frauds is projection.

Is he doing what the majority of his constituents want? That's his real job.

Seems winning re-election would be simple if they thought he was.

Think whatever you want about Massie, but hes not an idiot. This is exactly how they got General Flynn. FBI is not your friend.
