This is absolutely Orwellian. He is the opposite of that and a caricature of a swamp creature just beat him. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

You are still pretending that Massie didn't have a very public tantrum over the last 2 years about Trump?

SFP, i really don't care if you believe what you believe. In fact, i hope you do. It makes you that more ineffectual in debates. If you continue to let your undeserved hubris permit you from admitting when you are wrong, or even admitting to yourself when the very obvious occurs, then that makes it easier when people poke at you. Enjoy the rest of your internet time today.

Why engage in a diversion attempt?

In 2025, Thomas Massie voted against the majority of Republicans 48 times, which indicates he crossed party lines and voted with Democrats on those occasions.

He has voted against a majority of Republicans on 73 occasions or 22.3% of the time in the 119th Congress and was just one of two Republicans to oppose the final passage of Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act.


Good day, sir!

This is a huge plus for him. That bill is a disaster.

irrational things they believed.

I remember telling Bunk years ago that they were lying about non-intervention and the neocon bullshite would come back.

That's a much bigger deal than the rejection of fiscal conservatism. Trump's always spent like a Democrat and has no plans to deal with the deficit/debt.

Literal Neo-Nazi Leader Endorses Trump

quote:

Chris Hood, the founder of the thuggish neo-Nazi group NSC-131, has endorsed the MAGA candidate for president, calling on fellow fascists in the swing states “to vote for Donald Trump.”

In a long statement on Telegram, Hood described Trump as providing a small step forward to his goal of “ultimate victory,” and insisted that casting a ballot for Trump provides a no-regrets way for race separatists to act — “even if it means just one less Somalian in Maine, one less Haitian in Ohio, and one more foot of wall built.” He added, “It costs you nothing.”


Note: Your comment implies Massie is a "slimy swamp creature" as much as this endorsement implies Trump is a neo-Nazi.

The endorsements mean nothing as to what Massie or Trump is.

The number of irrelevant endorsements doesn't change anything.

You made a terrible point. I proved that it was terrible. Now you're trying to pivot.
