So, Massie chooses to allow violent adult criminals to be treated as juveniles instead of treating violent juvenile criminals as adults.

Typical Massie. The bill isn't perfect, so he will vote to maintain the status quo, the one thing all rational people can agree needs to change. Thanks for being so principled and keeping crime high with both ghettos and illegals, Mr. Massie. You truly care about the safety and security of America in your quest to always fight against the administration we all voted for.

So in your view, the “Epstein files” (whatever the hell that is supposed to include) justifies voting against totally unrelated legislation to make the Nation’s capital safer?

Am I following your retarded logic?

If I’m missing something, by all means, please explain.

Massie was alone in his vote.

His own words seem to be objecting to the ability to try 14 year olds as an adult in extreme circumstances. It reasonable to assume that’s his complaint.

He’s gone. He won’t rebound from this self destruction we’ve witnessed. I never saw this coming. It’s one of the largest flameouts we’ve ever seen in politics.

Edit: Massie’s wife actually died. Prayers to Massie for that.

For what principled, libertarian bullshite reason did he vote against treating voting aged adults like, well, adults?
it was a request from Trump as part of a comprehensive package to hopefully avoid having to use the NG again.

But of that sentence all that is relevant to your question is: "it was a request from Trump"

Trying to figure how and why this wasn’t already a law. So before today, a 24 year old could be prosecuted as a minor? Surely there is more to it

I haven't read the bill, I have no idea what the qualifiers are for trying a 14 year old as an adult. I probably agree with the bill but I'm not going to base my opinion of it on an X post. I'd hope nobody would.

According to grok:
H.R. 4922, the DC CRIMES Act of 2025, is a short bill consisting of 4 sections. The official PDF of the introduced version is 8 pages long.26c0ba Based on the bill's content (approximately 2,500 words) and standard congressional formatting, the version that passed the House is similarly around 8 pages long.

Amazing how the liberals never have one single person leave the plantation. We always have at least one dumbass weak Republican.

I've always been of the belief that if you murder someone at 15 you are a monster and will only get worse as you age. I would have pissed myself if someone even talked about murdering someone at that age.

What would it have to be for you to be more concerned with a 14 year old being tried as an adult vs. an 18-24 yo not being tried as an adult?

This guy is the political embodiment of a few prominent posters here. They get some attention and just want to be a contrarian.

frick Thomas Massie.

Why would someone between 18-24 be tried as a juvenile?


Probably eliminating "youthful offender"

And let's be completely honest here, those "youthful offenders" have a dozen prior arrests at that point.

If it made it really easy instead of making it an option under extreme circumstances. 14 year olds typically shouldn't be tried as adults. I think that's just as obvious as saying a 22 year old typically shouldn't be tried as a juvenile.
