So they keep electing ppl that do the exact opposite of what they elected them to do?

Has Chip Roy, as one example, done this?

Massie has been a big, vocal opponent of many of these pork bills. During Trump 1 he was the enemy (like Rand Paul until Covid) for opposing Trump's big spending.

This.

They all talk a good game then fold and vote for increasing spending and more debt. None of them care about reducing spending and balancing the budget. Trump included.

Trump is a globalist. We all are.

Trump says a lot of vague stuff to get in the media and to excite voters, most of it isnt anything he will push as policy.

Its not his fault, its the rank and file who dont understand populism.

Here is a thread celebrating Milei from JUST before this Leftist fiasco for Trump

Where were you people in that thread?

I did it in this thread just 11 days ago.

I wish Trump would learn this lesson.

Just because some no name gets an opinion piece on the internet does not make it an important read.

I named the 3 biggest names, all 3 who have had their proverbial dicks sucked by MAGA at times.

chip roy did nothing. the first CR was going to pass because the democrats helped write it. it was trump that stopped it. the second CR didn't pass because chip roy and friends voted against it. the third one passed because democrats voted for it in bigger numbers than republicans. chip roy got nothing and will tag team with democrats to fight MAGA the next 4 years.

Pages are meaningless.

Content matters. There was no substantial change to the total spending in the two CRs

Chip Roy is hated. Rand Paul is writting another strongly worded letter to fauci and Massie is another all bark no bite like Chip

So those two bills are the same, is what you’re going with.


You’re usually better than that.
