Aren’t all the Massie seals in the thread the same ones who said Trump would never be president again?

One of the funniest things about the Callais ruling is that if there is a significant shift in the number of expected R House seats, Massie loses much of his power and political capital.

He is only "useful" if the split is limited, and so his grandstanding and threats have weight as an important needed vote that people are willing to placate.

A +12R shift means that you take the generic split and add 24 more to the total, so a 6 vote difference becomes a 30 vote difference. That makes it incredibly difficult to play the games he plays.

You said Massie did not vote for a CR that included 2% spending cut. You said it didn’t happen.


Wrong. I said the spending cut didn’t happen. I even pointed out the cut was actually only one percent and was conditional. The conditions weren’t met and the cut didn’t occur.

Yeesh. With your poor reading comprehension skills and insistence on being smug from a place of complete ignorance, perhaps you aren’t the right person to be calling anyone else stupid.


quote:

And, now, look at you and your fellow retards melting because Massie will be re-elected after not voting to increase deficit spending.


Meh. I’m not scared of Massie winning. I just can’t stand his Masshole fan boys that don’t know the actual facts around the efficacy of his votes.

Yours has been one of the better melts I’ve seen around here. Rage typing without knowing basic facts. quite entertaining.

No, you said, “That didn’t happen,” in response to me saying that Massie voted for the CR because it contained a 2% cut in spending.

The exchange can be found, HERE.

“That,” is a direct reference to Massie’s CR vote and his reason for voting in favor of it since that is the statement of mine that you quoted and to which were responding.

To paraphrase, I stated that Massie voted for the CR because it contained a cut in spending and you said he didn’t, or, as you put it, “That didn’t happen.”

But, it did, in fact, happen.

Now, perhaps by, “That didn’t happen,” you meant that the cuts for which Massie voted didn’t happen, later, but that doesn’t fit the context of the statement to which you were responding and is irrelevant, anyway. We were discussing Massie’s reasoning for voting for a CR during the Biden administration and how that is different than voting for an omnibus bill.

“That didn’t happen,” in context, is a refutation of the fact that Massie voted for the CR because it contained a spending cut, not a refutation that spending cuts subsequently occurred.

Now, given your severe retardation coupled with your general dumbassery, your failure to communicate unambiguously, intelligently, and contextually, although noted, can be forgiven, I suppose. After all, I can’t very well expect a supremely stupid frick like yourself to understand all written words or how to use them, yourself.

Regardless, whether or not spending cuts for which Massie voted were later enacted is completely irrelevant to the fact that the cuts were the reason he voted for the CR.

Also, the 2% figure was merely an aggregate or approximation. The spending cuts were a 1% spending cut from defense spending and another 1% spending cut from some other spending, thus 2%, although that 2% may not represent 2% of the total fiscal budget and wasn’t intended to do so.

You dumb idiot. I even further clarified at 2:46 when I posted this:


quote:

The spending cut never occurred you moron. The bill included a 1% cut if certain conditions were met. Those conditions weren’t met. There were no cuts. Massie got played. Again, I’m not surprised an ignorant moron like you didn’t know that. Keep calling names and posting with hubris from a place of complete ignorance. Typical Masshole.


Yet here we are at 5pm, you still unable to wrap your mind around it. How dumb do you have to be to think I was arguing he didn’t vote for it when I was the first person that brought up him voting for it.

You dumb idiot.

Like old times, amiright? Kudos though for living in his head and his bio! I usually ignore most of the tds people here because it’s pointless having a conversation when their goal is to own Trump and MAGA.

No need. You cited those two idiots as authority in this very thread.
No appeal to authority was claimed. Trump's policies speak for themselves.

No principles. You don’t care that Massie is campaigning in the coattails of the “most socialist president in history”
Nice job setting up the null set. It really is your only way out.

So Trump's agenda is so fragile, one single congressman (who MAGA consistenly call ineffective) can undermine it?

Trump is the biggest victim ever.

Completely non-responsive to you twisting into a pretzel to support Massie using Trump to get elected. Not surprising. It’s your only way out.

You're the only one creating a defense of Massie for me. There's a word for that. Give him a hug. He's lonely.

still non-responsive. You already admitted your position is a null set.

The issue isn’t Massie. The issue is supremely stupid fricks who get irate the one or two times he doesn’t gargle Trump’s balls on big spending like they do
My guess is that, at least for a lot of those that take issue with him, isn't the fact that he doesn't toe the Trump line 100% of the time, but rather that he is WAY more vocal about the disagreements than the agreements.

He hasn't. Opposing Trump where Trump aligns with democrats and democrat socialists isn't his entire presidency. Unless...you're arguing that is Trump's entire presidency.

If Trump didn't want to outspend democrats and protect the deep state he'd have no conflict with Massie. Or lots of others that voted for him. Trying to shift that blame is... what makes these thread so much fun.
