re: Massie and “DEFUNDING” ICE; Facts Vs. Rhetoric…

Voting against massive spending bills is as conservative as it gets, and Republicans are not fiscal conservatives, so you might have a point.

Well is there another available way to fund DHS? Has he proposed a standalone bill?

How do you and Massie propose we deport the illegals if ICE doesn’t have any funding?

---

Funny you should ask!

Did you know that this funding bill cuts deportation and enforcement funding to the tune of $115m? Or that it cuts out 5500 beds in detention centers? Or that in order to make those cuts yet still keep the same level of funding as prior years (so as not to alarm people who dont care enough to look into it) it shifts that money to body cameras, over sight and de-escalation training?

Yeah we get it, he has a high horse he wants to sit on top of to prove a point…to the potential detriment of our country.

You are missing his point, which is that we are facing an existential threat from deficit spending, and it is a desperate emergency that we face that threat NOW. These spending bills that shift priorities from democrat ones to republican ones and vice versa are rearranging the chairs on a Titanic that is heading toward an iceberg. Massie wants to focus on missing the iceberg. Everyone else thinks that will cost them their career so they don’t do it.

I’m fairly sure that if you could get a private audience with Trump he would tell you, “Sure, Massie is right, but if we do what Massie wants we would lose power and the result would be continued deficit spending AND democrat priorities.”

Pretty sure he votes with his party 90+% of the time.

Party exists to divide us. We’d be much better off if politicians voted for America rather than whatever a party has drawn up.
Massie is one of the very few who does this.

Absolutely. So if anyone claims that Massie is thus simply performing an act of political theater, I certainly am open to that argument.

I long have maintained that the most insidious myth promoted in this UniParty® charade is the ludicrous notion that the Republic will be saved if we only would elect the correct slate of sock puppets to Washington D.C. It is an absurdity of the highest order: the Potomac Beltway can no more be “reformed” than a malignant cancer.

If Liberty is to continue in this nation, it will be in the form of subsidiary, nullification and even secession movements in the individual states. The current crisis continues until enough supporters of limited governor come to that inescapable conclusion.

She’s wasting a lot of money on MDS.

Good.

Bruh.

You can get upvotes and seal claps if you stopping thinking and bow to Trump. It’s easy.

No not really. You have proven with your post history you are a kommie

And you have proven that you are a rank ignoramus who is simply incapable of formulating anything remotely resembling a logical thought.
