re: Elon Musk Claims GOP Plans to Punt Majorities to Dems in Midterms

I correctly stated that recently he votes with Dems when it counts.

So does Trump. Well, he leads Congress to spending just like the democrats.

He is just another run of the mill TDS infested loser

Odd behavior for someone that has TDS. LINK

I don’t recall calling you liberal. If I did I apologize.

a man that votes with liberals when it counts

Like this?

On "The Daily Show" Monday night, the liberal comic told self-described democratic socialist Bernie Sanders that Trump is carrying out the Vermont senator's "revolution."

"You could almost make a case that the true inheritor of the Sanders revolution is Trump," Stewart said.

"He is the most socialist president of my lifetime."

"Taking a percentage of companies to do business? That's a Bernie Sanders idea. Doing TrumpRx where the government is involved in selling pharmaceuticals? That's a Bernie Sanders idea."

Then Stewart doubled down.

"Is it frustrating that the thing that you fought for your whole career, Democrats are the ones who run away from scared and Trump has embraced some of it?" he asked.

You're mad about an irrelevant vote. I'm mad at policies actually implemented (with the GOPE's help, of course). We are not the same.

I like a ton of what Trump has done. I don’t like his spending. To any rational non-cult member that should make sense.

I like a lot of what Trump has done too. Like you I don't like the spending. So, I have no need to constantly criticize Massie for voting against Trump's spending. I actually appreciate him for voting against Trump (or anyone else's) spending. For some reason a minor procedural vote that had no bearing on a debt ceiling bill's passage, eats at you, and sparks a need to tear down Massie--to the point of mischaracterizing his record, comparing him to a democrat, etc. Yo've let yourself get lathered up into opposing a guy who voted against spending you claim not to like. You should dig in to why you feel that need to do that. Didn't you say the other day you were against purity tests?

quote:

---

You don’t care Massie said he would sell his vote for praise.

---

No. I don't care about mud-slinging campaign ads. And contrary to your accusations of being "cult-like" -- I feel no need to defend Massie, except for obvious exaggerations and lies about his voting record that some are howling about.

quote:

---

That’s how you gloss over his spending votes (yes plural). They were procedural? News flash….all votes are procedural.

---

Yeah. All votes are the same importance in Congress.

---

Me being disappointed in your lack of consistency and principles isn’t a personal attack

It absolutely is, because it's an attemp to grab the moral high ground, where none exists. And that's the ultimate problem with being a Trump supporter. Because Trump has no ideology other than 'what's good for Trump' (even including supporting Bernie Sanders, Paul Krugman, and Liz Warren's poliices)... You're forced into making enemies out of allies that agree with you on damn near everything. Even if you have to resort to dragging up "hypcricy!!" rather than arguing the merits of policy, the actual voting history, or post history of your newly formulated "enemies".

I get it. Made the same mistake and caught myself doing it.Took a step back and saw the mental pretzel logic path defending Trump was leading me down. I was actually starting to defend a mega-spending, swamp-backing, for sale politician. I mean, surely, you've noticed a change in my tone toward Trump?
