The Massie Cult prohibits any form of criticism of Thomas Massie.


Hmm, sounds a little familiar.

Just to make sure I was clear, that was a bit of ribbing aimed at those who have adopted the same notion as their own in accusing some of being Trump cultists who are unaccepting of any Trump criticism.

Ftr, I believe both are actually silly accusations.

It's high comedy for anyone supporting Trump to go at Massie (or anyone else) about theatrics. Have to be more objective and self-aware than that.

Massie has been trying to get things removed from bills for his entire career. Where is Trump on the surveillance expansion and the kill switch legislation? He's nowhere. MAGA could force Trump to get behind repealing this surveillance stuff, but MAGA refuses to put pressure on him and instead throws tantrums about Massie.

And he's right, when he votes NO on this minibus, MAGA will go after him. If Trump says something about passing the minibus, poison pills and all, MAGA will bash Massie for voting NO. It's become reflexive and mindless. That gets us nowhere.

Massie has also introduced bills in the affirmative sense for a long time. He just tweeted (about an hour ago I think) about introducing a bill to boost Trump's power: "After rampant fraud was uncovered at daycare centers in Minnesota and elsewhere, a judge blocked President Trump’s effort to put guardrails on those programs.

I’ve offered this amendment to circumvent the judge’s ruling and empower the President to withhold fraudulent funds."
Anyone going to give him credit for that?

Need to support Massie more, and more often.

Massie doesn't have the guts to push his fellow Congressmen to remove any spending. He will just hide on Twitter like he always does.


He has no political capital or credibility. No one capable of doing anything cares what he has to say unless it's a Dem who wants to use him to claim "bipartisan support."

He badly wants to be Rand Paul’s replacement when he decides to move on. And he has concluded that clearly Kentucky voters want, and are happy with, a “maverick,” a la Paul. Thus Massie is very proactively seeking to present himself as just the replacement maverick that the voters of Kentucky will want. Seems pretty obvious to me.

**Which, if true, would be very disingenuous on his part, as it relates to core “principles,” as is always a hot topic of discussion (or debate) when it comes to him.

Folks that aren't panicans and don't have TDS should disregard any and everything from Massie.
He warrants no discussion or his rhetoric being regurgitated. IMHO
