Yet gave the same administration he claims was blocking release complete power to redact whatever they want. That’s your substance?

Excellent. Exactly what the Trump admin asked for. What do you think you will learn?


Also…in that X post you linked Massie says Trump admin has far more materials than the GJ. Why did he grant them the blanket ability to redact if he claims they are the ones blocking release?

I have no idea.

Politically the issue is off the table.

It should have never been on the table.

Instead of Trump saying it was a hoax he should have initially said “I’m working with Congress to get some legislation passed so the judiciary and DOJ will be forced to release the files.”


Trump eventually came around to Massie’s position but he was kicking and screaming and it was a MAJOR unforced political error.

The hoax was him being implicated. Quit being disingenuous. A clear indication you know you’re full of shite.

Massie gave Trump COMPLETE control. What a win for you fan boys.

ETA: just like it was a win for Massie when he sided with dems to raise the debt ceiling…right?

Trump cozies up to neocons like Lindsey Graham and wants to primary Massie.

Massie isn't the problem; TCult is awash with cognitive dissonance. Its been bizarro world lately.

That should be enough

If they “can’t get the votes”, that’s not their problem, it’s the problem of the people who are wrong.

As you said:

People who get pissed at them for not being “effective” because they can’t “control 430+ other people” are basically stupid because they’ll turn around and say

And he's STILL trying.

(as of now, 8 anti- America First posters/poseurs object to stopping the foreign aid grift)

This is so childish.

So if Massie supports some legislation you also have historically supported you are going to change your mind because that one time Massie didn’t vote the way I wanted or because Trump is against it?

NO, just the bloated spending bills that Congress keeps introducing over and over again while they block the vast majority of DOGE and other proposed cuts.

This is all stuff that traditional conservatives have done. The only reason MAGA cons support those bills is because Trump told you to.

You cultists don’t like any criticism of your deity. Fact is…Massie was the tiebreaking vote that allowed for the debt ceiling increase the Dems wanted. Acting like he is some Conservative stalwart is childish.

Trump was against what? Be specific.

Thomas Massie.



The thing I don't like about him most specifically is he is a media whore. Nobody likes the sound of their own name more than one Thomas Massie. 90 pct of the shite he says and does is contrarian bullshite so people will talk about him.

Bottom line - he likes to go against his party and run to your favorite media (CNN-MSDNC)

This is your conservative savior

If Trump was not against releasing the Epstein files the legislation to release them would not have been needed. Trump only acquiesced to Massie after he had no choice to sign a piece of legislation that was on its way to being veto proof.

Projection. If anyone is "performative" it defines Donald Trump to a tee.

With respect to Thomas Massie, damned if he does something to stop the fiscal hemorrhaging; Damned if he doesn't.

Massie isn't President; he's not even a Senator. But he IS still doing all he can to expose the ridiculous Trump-GOP Santa Claus-spending and gifting away hundreds of billions we don't have.

Your red herring aside, why do you really hate Rep. Massie? Why do you feel compelled to the gifting of hundreds of billions to foreign nations (that we don't have?) Why did you really defend Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' when we're already $37 trillion in debt?

The piece of legislation that gave Trump COMPLETE control over redactions? Wow. Good work Massie.
