I guess I should have clarified more. MTG is a loudmouth like Massie, but at least she tries to bring bills forward. Massie just gets on Twitter and rants and raves like an old man yelling at the sky.

Listen, I love Trump but he is a full blown narcissist and they are incapable of seeing much of anything outside of themselves or how something affects them.

It’s a nice little independent sounding niche where one can sit on a perch criticizing all others and everything around them, but never really has to ever worry about ever actually leading or being the one who is ultimately held accountable.



Yea they can pass off their ineffectiveness as not being what either party wants so no need to actually bring bills to the floor but send me more money for my next campaign, please!

Yall can parrot this nonsense as much as you want.

But Massie being the deciding vote to allow the debt ceiling increase to advance out of committee in 2023 will always be a thing.

You need to put things in context.

When Mr. McCarthy negotiated the Fiscal Responsibility Act with the White House to prevent the U.S. from defaulting on its debt last spring, Mr. Massie leveraged his vote on the Rules committee to get the speaker to include a provision that would cut the federal budget by 1% across the board if Congress did not agree on a budget by April 30.

I can copy/paste from ChatGPT too:

Multiple analyses noted that the “1 % cut” was more a reduction in the cap levels than an immediate across-the-board 1 % cut from current funding; and that until the trigger deadline passes, agencies were advised not to self-sequester.

No — Congress did not have all 12 regular appropriations bills enacted by the April-30 deadlines, and the FRA’s automatic ~1% across-the-board discretionary cut was not put into effect.

One more example of Trump losing touch with real America. He's being ill advised and isolated by his closet advisors. Suzie Wiles is a main culprit.
His public treatment of Massie and Green, and his 50 year home loan idea are doing nothing to help reunify his MAGA base.

A recent summary of his career (updated this year) notes that no piece of legislation proposed by Thomas Massie has been passed by Congress.


I'm a little surprised by this. You'd think the Democrats would show him a little love for what he's trying to do.

Trump's biggest threat has never been the Dems, because everybody knows they want him to fail. If Trump goes down for political reasons, it will be because of mutiny from within.

You do realize he can bring or sponsor bills to reduce the Government too? Even though it will probably not pass,


It took all of one post for you to contradict yourself.
