No way dude. Trump's entire agenda has been stopped by the impotent Thomas Massie.

This is true and factual.

Massie was the 1 “Republican” to vote No on advancing the Save Act to the House floor for a vote. It advanced by 1 vote, despite Massie’s No.

Can't wait for ad hominem attacks next time a bill doesn't pass.

You can sky scream all you want. He voted against advancing it.

Thats a no vote. Period. Him not stopping it was due to him not getting one more gop member to vote against it with him.

Once it passed, yes... he voted for it because that vote is very public.

Did he explain this vote?

One of the things Massie is accused of is voting with Republicans when it's clear a bill will pass one way or another.

Does he have sound reasoning? Or, is this a case where he was trying to kill it when it was close...but voted for it when the writing was on the wall?

You may have heard; Mr Massie votes strictly according to PRINCIPLE. Just like when he was the only CongressPerson to vote NO on whether Israel has a right to exist. The final tally was 411-1, but Thomas stood up for his PRINCIPLEs.

Im sure he had to give a reason. Most likely it was his usual. "I didn't like this attached ". So rather than fight on the floor to stop the part he did not like, he tried to kill the whole act.

That was the final bill, he voted not to advance it, so Gallrein is right that he voted against it, even though he reversed himself on the final vote. It still makes what Gallerein says accurate, and not a lie, so probably need to change the OP

He didn’t try to block it, you lying piece of shite.

He voted against a procedural rule change that allowed spending bills to come to the floor without a 24-hour notice.

He voted for the SAVE Act.

You’re one stupid motherfricker.

That's his act. He finds some piddling reason to side with the left and turns it into a matter of PRINCIPLE. There have been times when it was just Thomas and the squad who shared his principles.

You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to say, "Yes he voted to block it, but it was a matter of PRINCIPLE.

You sound like a sky screamer.

That procedural vote was not just against that. It was against the whole thing because he did not like 1 thing in it that he could have fought against if something was pushed.


Thats not even debatable. That is what he did. Period.

Or like when he voted to release the names of lawmakers who used taxpayer funds to settle sexual harassment claims.(H. Res. 1100)

He was only one of 65 yea votes, so the measure did not advance.

Wanna know how many of your faves successfully voted to block this?
